If you're searching for roofing in Eau Claire, WI, you've either got a leak, a roof that's aged out, or a storm that put your shingles on the lawn, and you need someone to get up there and tell you the truth about it. We climb the roof, trace where the water actually gets in, and tell you whether a targeted repair holds or a full replacement is the honest call, because a wrong guess here turns a roofing bill into a framing, insulation, and mold bill by spring. Owner Stephen Bonander has 33 years in the trade and is on the roofs we take on, and the company has scoped and reroofed homes across the Chippewa Valley since 1993. BBB accredited. Call (715) 894-1120 for a free on-site estimate.
This page is about roof work tied to Eau Claire specifically, the repair, replacement, and inspection jobs on the homes here. If you want the general breakdown of our roofing process and materials, that lives on our main roofing page. What changes house to house in this city is the roofline: the steep-pitch pre-1940 two-stories near the Third Ward and Randall Park shed and dam ice completely differently than the low-slope 1960s and 70s ranches out toward the Town of Washington and Altoona, and pricing a roof without walking it is how homeowners get burned.

A roof replacement in Eau Claire is priced by the square (100 sq. ft.), the pitch, the material, and what we find once the old shingles come off. A straightforward asphalt reroof on a single-story ranch sits at the low end. A steep-pitch Victorian two-story near Randall Park with multiple valleys, dormers, and decking that's soaked through takes longer, needs more safety staging, and costs more. Across the range, a full residential replacement in this market runs roughly $5,000 to $25,000 or more depending on size, pitch, and condition. We won't quote a real number off satellite images. We get on the roof first.
A reroof is also the one moment the eave, the flashing, and the gutter are all open at once. Because we handle the gutters and flashing too, we detail the roof-to-gutter transition as one continuous job instead of leaving the seam for a second crew to guess at. Ready when you are, call (715) 894-1120.
Roof repair in Eau Claire makes sense when the roof still has real life left and the failure is isolated: a wind-lifted section of shingles, a cracked pipe boot, failed step flashing at a wall or chimney, or ice-dam damage confined to one eave. We find the actual entry point instead of smearing sealant over the stain on your ceiling and calling it fixed. In 33 years the pattern hasn't changed: most winter leaks in this valley trace back to flashing and ice dams, not the field of the shingles.
Here's when a repair is the right call, and when it isn't:
- Repair when the roof is under roughly 15 years old, the damage is one area, and the decking underneath is still sound - Repair after a wind or hail event that stripped a slope but left the rest of the roof intact, which is common off the Chippewa River valley - Replace when shingles are curling and shedding granules across the whole roof, because that's age, not an accident - Replace when you're patching the third leak in two winters, since you're paying for a new roof one repair at a time anyway
"The leak almost never starts where the stain shows up on the ceiling. Water runs down the decking and drips somewhere else entirely. That's why we trace it on the roof instead of guessing from inside."
Not sure which one you're looking at? Call (715) 894-1120 and we'll walk the roof before we quote.
A roof inspection in Eau Claire is the cheapest roofing decision you'll ever make, and the one homeowners skip until there's water on the drywall. We get on the roof, check the field of the shingles, the flashing at every penetration and wall, the valleys, the ridge and its ventilation, and the eaves where ice dams do their work. Then we go into the attic, because half of what kills a roof in this climate shows up as frost, staining, or missing ventilation up there long before it shows up outside.
You don't need to wait for an active leak. If you see missing or curling shingles, dark staining on interior ceilings, shingle granules washing into your gutters, or daylight in the attic, those are the signs the roof is already telling on itself.

A roofing estimate in Eau Claire from us starts on a ladder, not in a spreadsheet. We measure the roof, count the squares, note the pitch and the number of valleys and penetrations, check the decking condition where we can, and look at the attic ventilation. Then you get a written estimate that spells out every line, so you can compare it against anyone else's number:
- Tear-off of the old roofing - Ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys - Underlayment across the deck - The shingle package you chose - Flashing at every wall, chimney, and penetration - Ventilation corrected while the roof is open - Cleanup and haul-away
No vague lump sum, no surprise change orders once the shingles are off, unless we find hidden decking rot, in which case we show you the damage and price the repair before we cover it.
Most roofing jobs in the city need a re-roof permit from the City of Eau Claire, and we pull it. A roof done without the required permit can complicate a homeowner's insurance claim and create headaches when you sell. If your neighborhood or HOA has material or color restrictions, we sort that out before we order a single bundle. Want a straight number for your roof? Request an estimate or call (715) 894-1120.
Full tear-off and reroof on asphalt shingle roofs, spec'd to the pitch and roofline of your specific Eau Claire home. New ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, fresh underlayment, and ventilation corrected while the roof is open.
Targeted fixes for wind-lifted shingles, failed flashing at walls and chimneys, cracked pipe boots, and ice-dam damage at the eaves. We trace the actual leak path before we touch a shingle.
Roof-and-attic assessment covering shingles, flashing, valleys, ridge, ventilation, and the eaves where ice dams form. Ideal before buying or selling, or after a storm off the Chippewa River valley.
Flashing renewed at every wall, chimney, and penetration during a repair or reroof. Flashing failure, not the field of the shingles, is where most Chippewa Valley winter leaks actually start.
Because we install the seamless gutters too, we detail the roof-to-gutter and eave transition as one continuous job instead of leaving the seam for a second crew.
Ridge and soffit ventilation checked and corrected during a reroof. Poor attic ventilation is the root cause behind most ice dams on older Eau Claire homes, and it's fixable while the roof is open.
Not every roof needs replacing, and here's the honest part most roofing companies won't put on their own site. If your roof is under about 15 years old, the shingles are still lying flat and holding their granules, and you've got one isolated leak at a flashing or a boot, you do not need a new roof. You need that one detail fixed. A door-knocking storm-chase crew will try to sell you a full replacement off a handful of lifted shingles. We won't.
Hold off on a full roof replacement when the shingles across the field are still sound and only one area is leaking, when a single storm stripped one slope but left the rest intact, or when the only issue is an ice dam that better attic ventilation and eave protection would prevent. We'll tell you that on the roof rather than sell you a package you don't need for another decade. When replacement genuinely is the right call, we'll show you the decking and the granule loss so you can see it yourself. That's the difference between a contractor and a sales pitch.
Honest advice and a clear estimate — no pressure, no obligation.
The reason we run one crew on the whole exterior comes down to where roofs actually fail in this climate, and it isn't in the middle of the shingles. A Chippewa Valley winter drives water and ice at the edges: the eaves where ice dams back water up under the shingles, the flashing at walls and chimneys, and the roof-to-gutter transition. Those are exactly the spots that fall into a gap when a roofing crew and a gutter crew each finish their scope and leave. As the local roofer that also owns the gutters and flashing, we detail those edges as one continuous, watertight job, so there's nobody to point at but us if it leaks. The person who quotes your roof is on the crew that shingles it, and the same company you call in July is the one you call in February. In more than three decades roofing this valley, that single-crew accountability is the thing homeowners tell us they were looking for and couldn't find.

Reviews
We've repaired, replaced, and inspected roofs across Eau Claire and the surrounding towns since 1993. A few words from homeowners here.
Old steep-pitch two-story, and every winter we got a stain in the upstairs corner. Two companies wanted to reroof the whole house. Stephen's crew traced it to bad step flashing at the dormer, fixed that one detail, and it's been dry two winters running. Honest from the start.
They walked the roof, showed me the granule loss and the soft decking on the north slope, and explained exactly why it was time. No pressure, clear written estimate, and they pulled the permit and handled the whole thing. Cleanup was spotless.
Ranch house, low slope, and after a summer hailstorm I figured I needed a full replacement. They inspected it, found only the west slope was hit, and repaired just that. Saved me thousands. That kind of straight answer is why I'll call them again.
