Construction & Remodeling in Madison, WI

Madison's housing runs from pre-1940 homes to a large share of post-2000 construction, and about 44% of units are in buildings with five or more units. Common projects include kitchen and bathroom remodels, re-roofing, siding and new homes. The city lists permits for re-roofing, siding, windows and kitchen and bathroom alterations, and five local historic districts add exterior review.

What shapes a project in Madison

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. A mix of older and newer homes

    ACS 2020 to 2024 estimates show about 13% of Madison's housing units were built before 1940 and about 29% in 2000 or later. Roughly half were built before 1980, so many remodels start in houses that predate the Uniform Dwelling Code.

  2. Many units in larger buildings

    About 40% of Madison's housing units are single-family detached homes and about 29% are in buildings with 20 or more units. Buildings with three or more units are regulated under the state commercial building code rather than the dwelling code.

  3. Historic districts and lakefront lots

    Madison has local historic districts for Mansion Hill, Third Lake Ridge, University Heights, Marquette Bungalows and First Settlement, plus designated landmarks, and the Landmarks Commission reviews exterior changes to them. For lakefront properties, the city's alteration guidance requires a survey by a registered land surveyor showing how far buildings on adjacent lots are set back from the ordinary high water mark.
