The next generation

Fast forward to the late ‘80s, Cy’s youngest son Dave spent many summers working for the family business. Dave loved it so much that the day after he graduated from UW – Madison, he began full-time at Tilsen. He eventually took over Tilsen Roofing and still runs it today.

On Top of Wisconsin Since 1953

When Cyril “Cy” Tilsen got back from World War II, his determination to provide for his family led him straight to work with a local construction contractor. A veteran B17 bomber pilot, Cy was no stranger to hard work and quickly found success in Madison’s construction industry.

Cy’s work continued until 1953 when he bought a truck and started Tilsen Roofing. His integrity and commitment to clients led to growing work in Southern Wisconsin, including projects like the original Hilldale Mall, the former Madison General Hospital, an addition to the Edgewater Hotel, and more.
