Roofs built for the weather that lives here.
Forty-seven years standing up to Wisconsin winters and Midwest storms. GAF Master Elite. FORTIFIED-certified.
Six trades. One crew. Zero handoffs.
We do the scoping, the bid, the install, and the cleanup — so the person inspecting your damage is the same person fixing it. No subs handed your roof at 6am.
Roof replacement & repair.
Full tear-off, deck inspection, ice-and-water shield, GAF underlayment, balanced ventilation, premium architectural shingles. Most one-day jobs done by sundown.

TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen single-ply membrane for warehouses, retail, and multi-tenant. 20-year non-prorated warranty options.
Learn more →Hail & storm damage.
Trusted by Sedgwick, Innovation, Nexus, MSP, and Contractor Connection to scope policyholders' roofs. Same crew does the scope and the work.
Learn more →Siding, gutters, full envelope.
James Hardie fiber cement, Mastic premium vinyl, and 6" seamless aluminum gutters. The other 90% of the exterior, done with the same standard as the roof.
Learn more →Same-day emergency tarp.
Tree through the roof at 2am? Call. We do board-up, tarp, and leak stabilization before the next rain — and document everything for the insurance claim.
Call now →Attic ventilation, done right.
Imbalanced attic ventilation kills shingles in seven years instead of fifty. We size intake to exhaust and we measure twice. Standard on every BGC roof.
Learn more →Family-built. Storm-tested. Since 1979.
Three generations of the same family answering the same phone. Our crew chiefs have spent twenty years on roofs in this climate — they know what fails first, and how to make it not.
Most roofing companies are middlemen. We're not. The person who scopes your damage is the person who fixes it.
We carry two to three times the liability coverage most program contractors carry. We're rated A to A+ in over ten BBB regions across the country. Every staff member is an InterNACHI-certified home inspector — the crew on your roof has read the same code book as the inspector who'll sign off.
And when a storm finally rolls through Dane County, the same insurance carriers we work for as scoping contractors send their policyholders our way. That's the trust loop.
When the storm passes, call us before the sun does.
Hail and wind damage is freshest in the first 24 hours — easiest to document for the carrier, hardest for them to deny. Here's the timeline from impact to install.
Call our 24/7 line.
A human answers — not a service. We log the address and dispatch the nearest crew chief with a drone.
Drone + ladder inspection.
Full elevation photos, hit-test, vent and flashing audit. Documented report delivered to you and your carrier within 48 hours.
Emergency tarp if needed.
If the deck is open or there's an active leak, we tarp and board-up before the next rain. Cost rolls into the claim.
Claim approval & scope.
We handle adjuster supplements, scope alignment, and product selection. You sign two things.
Full replacement.
Tear-off, deck, ice-and-water, ventilation, shingles, magnetic sweep. One day on most roofs.
Recent work. Real photos. No stock.
A sample of jobs from the last twelve months across Wisconsin and Iowa. Every photo is ours — drone shots, before/afters, the messy stuff in the middle.
FORTIFIED & GAF Master Elite. The two that matter.
Most certifications are participation trophies. These two genuinely affect what's on your roof, what your insurance does about it, and how long it lasts.
A third-party construction standard from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. Sealed roof deck, ring-shank fasteners, enhanced edge nailing. Meaningfully better wind and water performance — and many insurers offer a premium credit.
- Sealed roof deck (taped seams)
- Ring-shank fasteners on every shingle
- Independent third-party inspection
- Insurance premium credits available
GAF's highest contractor tier. Reserved for the top 2% of roofers in the country. It's the only way to issue the Gold Pledge — 50-year non-prorated coverage on workmanship and tear-off, backed directly by GAF.
- 50-year non-prorated workmanship warranty
- Lifetime limited material warranty
- Backed directly by GAF, not the installer
- Available on Timberline HDZ & designer shingles
Three generations. One standard.

Watch our storyThe paperwork most contractors won't show you.
Five preferred-contracting programs. Two to three times the liability most contractors carry. Every employee a certified home inspector. We brought receipts.
