We don't do one type of siding and try to sell it to everyone. Different homes, different climates, different budgets — the right product depends on your situation.
Vinyl siding is the most common choice for Wisconsin homes, and for good reason — it's durable, doesn't need painting, and handles temperature swings well when installed with proper expansion gaps. We install vinyl in a range of profiles: double 4-inch, board-and-batten, Dutch lap, in dozens of colors.
The detail that separates good installation from bad: the house wrap underneath. We install a proper moisture barrier before any panel goes on. Skip that step and water gets behind the siding, into the sheathing, and you have a rot problem inside two or three Wisconsin winters.
"Buckshot was top notch. They helped me deal with everything at ease — all I had to do was pick out my colors and they handled the rest."
Bradly Benson · Wisconsin homeowner · Google ★★★★★Fiber cement costs more than vinyl up front. In Wisconsin's climate, it often makes more sense long-term. It doesn't crack in freeze-thaw cycles, holds paint for 15-plus years, and is impact-resistant — hailstones that dent vinyl panels typically don't penetrate fiber cement.
It's also fire-resistant and doesn't attract woodpeckers — a genuine issue with wood siding in areas of Wisconsin where woodpecker activity is high. If you've had repeated hail events and you're replacing storm-damaged siding for the second time, fiber cement is worth the conversation.
Not every siding problem requires replacing the whole house. Missing panels from a windstorm, cracked sections from a hail impact, warped panels near a dryer vent — these get repaired. We match existing siding where possible and are honest when a repair is going to look patched versus when it can be done cleanly.
When siding has reached the end of its life — typically 20–25 years for vinyl in Wisconsin's climate — full replacement is the right call. We remove the old siding, inspect the sheathing and moisture barrier underneath, replace any damaged sheathing, and install new. Most full siding replacements are completed in two to three days.
"Siding done in 2 and a half days — great work."
Packer Fan · Wisconsin homeowner · Google ★★★★★Hailstorms that damage your roof almost always damage your siding too. Dented, cracked, or punctured panels are covered under most homeowner's insurance policies — but only if the claim is properly documented. We inspect and photograph all siding damage, include it in the same adjuster scope as any roof damage, and make sure your claim covers the full exterior impact of the storm.
Same process we use for roofing: you pay your deductible, we handle the rest.
Storm damage roofing and siding services →This is the question we get most often from Wisconsin homeowners replacing siding for the first time. Here's an honest breakdown.
| Factor | Vinyl Siding | Fiber Cement |
|---|---|---|
| Installed cost | $7–$12 per sq ft | $10–$18 per sq ft |
| Lifespan in Wisconsin | 20–25 years | 30–50 years |
| Hail resistance | Dents at ½" hail, cracks at 1" | Impact resistant — holds up to most hail |
| Freeze-thaw performance | Can crack if struck in extreme cold | Does not crack in freeze-thaw cycles |
| Painting required | No — color is in the material | Yes — holds paint 15+ years |
| Fire resistance | Not rated | Fire resistant |
| Best for | Most standard residential budgets in Dane County and Milwaukee County | Long-term owners, repeated hail exposure, higher-end homes |
For most standard residential budgets, vinyl is the practical choice. For homeowners who've had repeated hail damage or want the lowest lifetime maintenance cost, fiber cement makes the difference. We'll walk you through both during your free estimate — no pressure on either direction.
Gutters don't get attention until they fail. A gutter that pulls away from the fascia, clogs every fall, or overflows onto a foundation can cause structural damage, rot the fascia board, and send water behind the siding at the eaves. We include gutter assessment with every siding inspection.
We fabricate seamless gutters on-site in standard K-style and half-round profiles. Seamless means no seams along the run — the only joints are at corners and downspout connections. Fewer joints means fewer places for leaks to develop. We match gutter color to your trim or siding and offer copper for homeowners who want the premium look. Downspouts are positioned to direct water at least 6 feet from the foundation.
If you're in a neighborhood with large canopy trees — common across older Madison neighborhoods like Willy Street, Marquette, and Nakoma — gutter guards make the difference between cleaning gutters twice a year and cleaning them almost never. We install micro-mesh and reverse-curve guards that keep leaves, pine needles, and seedpods out while keeping water flowing through.
Sagging sections, separated joints, gutters pitched the wrong direction — these are fixable without replacing the whole system. We re-hang, re-pitch, and re-seal gutters across our Wisconsin and Iowa service territory. If a section is too corroded to hold a repair, we replace that run and match the existing profile.
A full gutter replacement or combined siding and gutter project can be a significant expense. Financing options are available for qualified projects — ask about current terms when you call or submit the estimate form. Apply through our lending partner at your convenience.

Storm damage? If hail or wind damaged your siding, most Wisconsin homeowner's policies cover the full replacement cost minus your deductible. RCV policies pay full replacement value. ACV policies depreciate based on siding age. We walk you through your specific coverage during the free inspection.
Three things separate Buckshot from most siding contractors in this market — practically, not in marketing language.
We carry Wisconsin Contractor License DC-080900045 and maintain full liability insurance. That's not universal in the siding industry — particularly after major storm events when out-of-state contractors flood into hail-affected markets. Verify any contractor's license through the Wisconsin DSPS before signing anything. Ours is always on file and always current.
When a hailstorm hits your home, your siding and roof both take damage at the same time. We document both, attend the adjuster meeting, and advocate for a complete approved scope that covers the full exterior impact — not just what the adjuster catches on a 15-minute walkthrough. You pay your deductible. We handle the paperwork from inspection to check.
Not every homeowner has $10,000 to $20,000 available for a siding project out of pocket. We offer financing options that make it possible to replace your siding now without waiting. Ask about current terms when you call or apply online through our lending partner.
Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The installation process was smooth, with minimal disruption to our operations. The new siding looks amazing and has given the building a fresh, modern look that we're proud of.
Buckshot was top notch when it came to my project. They helped me deal with everything at ease — all I had to do was pick out my colors and they handled the rest. I would highly recommend them for anything exterior wise.

During this whole process Daniel was on the job to make sure things were to my satisfaction and corresponded with me in person, by phone and email. The job was done well and under the tight time constraints we had to work with. To say the least I was impressed with all aspects of dealing with Daniel.
