Roofing standards, close to home.
Buckshot is a member of the Wisconsin Roofing Contractors Association, the state's professional roofing body. It keeps our crews tied to roofing standards and a community of pros right here in Wisconsin, where we've been family-owned since 1979. National know-how, local roots.
Wisconsin's roofing association.
The Wisconsin Roofing Contractors Association (WRCA) is the state's professional body for roofing contractors. Here's what our membership actually means, and, just as importantly, what it doesn't.
A statewide association
The WRCA represents professional roofing contractors across Wisconsin, promoting quality work, standards, and professionalism in our home state.
Standards close to home
Membership keeps us connected to roofing practices and education relevant to Wisconsin conditions, including the freeze-thaw climate our roofs actually face.
What it isn't
To be straight with you: WRCA membership is professional membership, not a license, a certification, or a warranty. It reflects our commitment to the craft, not a guarantee on any one job.
A Wisconsin roof has Wisconsin problems.
Roofing in our state isn't the same as roofing in a mild climate. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, heavy snow loads, and big temperature swings all test a roof in ways a contractor has to plan for. Being tied to a Wisconsin roofing body matters because:
- The standards reflect our climate, not a generic, anywhere-in-the-country approach.
- We're rooted here, family-owned in Wisconsin since 1979, not a company passing through.
- It pairs with national standards, our WRCA membership sits alongside our national NRCA membership.
- It signals a long-term contractor, the kind invested in the local trade and here to stay.
WRCA membership is one piece of the picture.
We back our work with a range of industry credentials and affiliations, local and national, each meaning something specific. Explore the ones with their own standards and programs:
NRCA Member →
Our national counterpart, membership in the National Roofing Contractors Association, the industry's leading professional body.
GAF Master Elite →
A top GAF shingle-system certification held by a small share of roofers, enabling enhanced warranties on qualifying asphalt roofs.
FORTIFIED →
A resilience standard from the IBHS for roofs built to better withstand severe weather.
BBB A+
An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, reflecting our standing and how we treat customers.
UASRC & InterNACHI
Additional association and inspection-related credentials that sharpen how we assess a roof.
IICRC
Standards relevant to restoration and water-damage work, useful after storms.
Where being a Wisconsin pro actually shows up.
A credential only matters if it changes how the work gets done. Here's where our standards-driven, local approach shows up on your project:
- Our own crews, never subcontracted, so the people on your roof answer to us.
- Built for the climate, installed for Wisconsin freeze-thaw, snow, and ice-dam realities.
- Honest assessments, we tell you whether you need a repair or a replacement, with photos.
- Warranty in writing, the standards inform the work; the warranty backs it. Our warranties →
