DuraShield Roofing & Contracting has been named Best Roofing Company in the Fox Valley for 2026 through the Best of the Valley Community’s Choice Awards. The recognition reflects community support for the company’s residential, commercial, and multi-family roofing work across Wisconsin
The Best of the Valley program highlights local businesses through public participation. DuraShield Roofing & Contracting earned the top designation in the roofing category for the current year. The award acknowledges consistent performance in roof installations, roof repairs, and customer service for more than two decades of operation in Wisconsin.
Anthony Walsh, president of DuraShield Roofing & Contracting, founded the company in 2003 after gaining experience in roofing sales and installation. The business began in the Appleton and Fox Cities area and expanded to serve Green Bay, De Pere, Wausau, Milwaukee, Madison and surrounding communities. Operations focus on dependable project delivery and durable material selection suited to Midwest weather conditions, including hail, high winds, heavy snow and temperature extremes.
"This recognition comes from the communities we serve every day," said Anthony Walsh. "It reflects the work of our roof technicians and the trust property owners place in the company when addressing roof replacements, storm damage and long-term protection needs."
DuraShield Roofing & Contracting provides full-service roofing for residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial buildings. Services include complete replacements, repairs, inspections and storm damage assessments. The company installs asphalt shingles, metal roofs, slate, tile, along with DaVinci composite shake and slate products, Brava Composite roof tiles, EPDM & TPO flat roof systems. Additional exterior work covers siding, gutter systems, and gutter guards. Project teams follow established protocols for site preparation, material handling, and final cleanup to minimize disruption for property owners.
Their roof technicians receive ongoing training through partnerships with manufacturers such as GAF, Owens Corning, DaVinci Roofscapes, and Brava Roof Tiles. These relationships support standardized installation practices and access to extended material and workmanship warranties.
The company maintains core values of dependability, integrity, growth, and service. Community involvement includes participation with Habitat for Humanity, other local organizations, and Kicks 4 Kids, which was started by Anthony in 2025. Kicks 4 Kids donates shoes to kids in the community who are 16 and under. These efforts align with a broader commitment to supporting the areas where the company operates and contributing practical skills to housing initiatives.
Walsh noted that the award coincides with continued demand for impact-resistant and low-maintenance roofing options in the region. Hail events, high winds, snow loads and seasonal humidity place significant demands on roofing systems. Material choices that address these conditions remain a central consideration in project recommendations. Composite products with Class 4 impact ratings and Class A fire ratings are frequently evaluated alongside traditional systems for homes requiring greater resilience.
"Receiving this designation reinforces the importance of treating each project with care and professionalism," added Anthony Walsh. "The team remains focused on delivering reliable results that protect homes and businesses over the long term."
DuraShield Roofing & Contracting has completed a wide range of projects since its founding, from standard residential replacements to specialty installations on higher-end luxury properties. The company prioritizes clear communication throughout the process, from initial assessment and material selection through final inspection. Scheduling reliability and respect for property form part of standard operating practices. Homeowners and commercial clients receive explanations of available options, expected timelines, and warranty coverage before work begins.
The Best of the Fox Valley recognition places the company among other local businesses acknowledged for community preference in their respective categories. For DuraShield Roofing & Contracting, the award marks a milestone in its ongoing presence throughout Wisconsin. The firm continues to operate with an emphasis on trained technicians, manufacturer-backed products, and attention to individual project requirements. This approach has supported steady growth while maintaining focus on the practical needs of property owners facing roofing decisions related to age, storm damage, or planned upgrades.
