Premium Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Southern Wisconsin
Get 10% Off Your Project's Total Cost!
Most Roofs Installed in a Single Day, Backed for 10 Years
Asphalt shingle roofing makes up the majority of what we install across Southern Wisconsin, and the math on why is simple. For most homes in this region, asphalt shingles deliver the strongest combination of durability, appearance, and long-term cost control. The variable that decides whether any given asphalt shingle roof lives up to its potential is the installation. Material quality matters, but so does the contractor on the ladder.
Heins Contracting has installed asphalt shingle roofs in Madison, Waukesha, and the surrounding communities since 2015. We're a GAF Master Elite contractor and 2-Star President's Club member, which means we're approved to install GAF's full product line and to register the extended warranty options that uncertified contractors can't access. Every project carries our 10-year workmanship warranty in addition to the applicable manufacturer coverage.
What Goes Into a Properly Installed Asphalt Shingle Roof?
The shingles are the part of the roof you see. Most of what determines whether a roof reaches its expected lifespan happens underneath them.
Every project we complete starts with a full removal of the existing roofing material, not an overlay. Once the old roof is off, we’ll inspect the deck for soft spots, rot, or damage that could compromise the new roof from underneath. Anything we find will get addressed before new material goes on top. From there, the install follows a clear sequence:
Deck Preparation: We’ll confirm the substrate is clean, dry, and structurally sound before anything else.
Underlayment: We’ll install a quality moisture barrier that acts as the secondary line of defense behind the shingles.
Shingle Installation: We’ll install GAF shingles to manufacturer specifications, including correct fastening patterns and overlap alignment.
Flashing and Sealing: Our team will address penetrations, valleys, and edges where water intrusion risk is highest.
Final Inspection: We’ll walk the completed roof before the job is considered done.
Most asphalt shingle replacements are completed in a single day, which means less disruption to your schedule and a finished roof you can count on by the same week we start.
GAF Shingles Built for Midwest Conditions
The shingles we install are GAF products, and the choice is deliberate. GAF manufactures its shingles at multiple U.S. facilities, and its architectural lines are engineered to handle the freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and temperature swings Wisconsin roofs face every year. That kind of engineering matters when a roof has to handle heavy snow loads in January and 50-degree temperature swings inside a single week.
For most homeowners, the question isn't which spec sheet to read. It's whether the shingles will hold up, if they'll look right on the home, and whether the installation protects the warranty. GAF's architectural shingle lines deliver on all three, with dimensional profiles that look substantially better than three-tab alternatives and durability backed by years of product development for this exact type of climate.
Our experienced team offers services for both residential & commercial properties.
Estimate
It all starts with a free, no pressure, estimate. Our specialist will meet with you to discuss any current concerns or damage that needs to be addressed immediately. Next, we want to hear from you! You may have an idea or design in mind for your project but it is not required. We are skilled to provide suggestions and ideas that fit well for your specific project and walk you through how we will accomplish that. We have samples on hand for you to see and touch in person.
Inspection
Each free estimate includes a home inspection where we look for any damage that you may not know of. This also allows us to get an in-depth look at the positives your home provides. Not always is a major project required to accomplish specific goals for your home. We are not a selling business; we are a service business.
Timing
Oftentimes we are able to provide your estimate on site the day of our first appointment. If that is not possible, we will set an appointment that day to return in the days following to explain how we feel the best approach to the project is and the specific materials we recommend using. We may provide you a couple options so that you can fine tune your project to fit your overall vision.
Results
With years of experience behind us, we are able to bring creativity and skill to your project, as well as deliver excellent results. The proof is clear by our reviews.
Workmanship You Can Verify, Not Just Take on Faith
Material warranties tell you what the manufacturer will back. Our 10-year workmanship warranty tells you what we'll back: the fastening, flashing, underlayment, and deck prep. If something we did causes a problem, we stand behind it.
We're a Better Business Bureau-accredited, fully licensed, and insured family business. We hold factory-direct pricing on products engineered for the Midwest, which means materials built for this climate without unnecessary markup. We also maintain quality control throughout each project rather than only at the end. Our team manages installations onsite, which means issues get caught during the process rather than after you've already signed off.
To see what past customers have to say, our testimonials page is a good place to start. Financing is also available for qualifying projects, with details on our financing page.
Replacement, Repair, and What Comes Next
Most of our asphalt shingle work involves full replacement, but repairs are also part of what we handle. In some cases, a targeted repair is the right call, and we'll say so. In others, an inspection reveals that replacement is the more cost-effective path forward over the next few years. Either way, you get a straight answer after we take a look.
Wisconsin weather can accelerate the decision. If your roof has taken on storm damage, that's a separate service with its own process, particularly when insurance is part of the picture.
Serving Homeowners Across Southern Wisconsin
We operate from two locations in Madison and Pewaukee, covering Dane County, Waukesha County, and the surrounding Southern Wisconsin region into the greater Milwaukee metro. The dual setup keeps our crews close to the homes they're working on and shortens turnaround on estimates and project starts.

Excellent company to deal with! Kyle was very knowledgeable about the roofing products and what we should expect. Aston and his crew had the roof completed under 6hrs. and did an excellent job on the clean up. Highly recommend, and their prices are very reasonable!
I hired Hein’s Contracting to replace siding on my insurance office in Dodgeville and they were amazing to work with on the project! Very detailed estimate, great communication and extremely organized. I worked with DJ Burris on the estimate and Josh was the project manager- I highly recommend them!
Heins Contracting recently installed new windows and siding on my home. They were professional, efficient and communicative to work with from sales rep DJ Burris, Project Manager Josh Smith and both the siding and window crews that completed the work on my home. They left behind no mess! The work was completed on schedule and within budget. I love how beautiful my house looks now!
