    - Why asphalt, why GAF

    The smart default for most homes.

    Architectural asphalt dominates American roofing for good reason - and the brand and the installer behind it decide how long it lasts.

    Best value per year

    Architectural asphalt delivers strong performance, the widest color range, and the lowest cost per year of protection of any common roofing material.

    GAF - the largest maker

    GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America, and its Timberline line is the most-installed shingle in the country, proven across millions of roofs.

    GAF Master Elite install

    Fewer than 2% of contractors earn GAF Master Elite. Our installs are verified by GAF directly - the only way to register GAF’s System Plus coverage.

    - More than shingles

    A shingle roof is a system.

    The shingle is what you see, but the layers under it decide whether your roof lasts. A quote that’s only shingles and nails leaves out the parts that keep water out in a Midwest winter.

    Ice-&-water shield - self-adhering membrane at eaves, valleys and penetrations, beyond code minimum, to stop ice-dam backup.
    Synthetic underlayment - a full-deck moisture barrier under the shingles, far tougher than old felt paper.
    Starter course & GAF shingles - a sealed starter course plus the Timberline field shingles, installed to GAF spec.
    Ridge cap & ridge vent - matching ridge cap over a ridge vent - required for warranty validity in this climate.
    - Repair or replace

    Is your shingle roof actually done?

    A repair makes sense when the damage is isolated and the shingles still have real life left. Replacement makes more sense when you see these.

    ★ Most common

    Twenty-plus years old

    Check your guttersWidespread granule loss - the grit that looks like coarse black sand collecting at your downspouts.

    Lifting and curling

    Multiple areasLifting, curling or cracked shingles spread across the roof, not one isolated patch you can point at.

    Leaks and soft decking

    - GAF shingle options

    Three shingles. One right answer for your home.

    All three are GAF shingles we install as a complete system. What changes between them is dimension, color depth, weight and impact rating - and we bring physical samples so you can see them in your home’s light.

    Timberline HDZ

    Most installedGAF’s flagship architectural shingle. 130 mph wind rating, Class A fire rating, LayerLock staple-free seal and StainGuard Plus algae protection.

    Timberline UHDZ

    Premium architecturalA thicker profile with deeper shadow lines and better impact performance. Carries a Class 4 impact rating, which some insurers discount in hail country.

    Camelot II

    DesignerGAF’s designer tier - engineered to mimic slate or cedar shake with the performance of a modern laminate. For character homes where the roofline is the feature.

    Want impact-rated protection? Class 4 shingles resist the hail that bruises a standard shingle, and some insurers reduce your premium for them - worth asking your agent before you choose. Compare all three shingle tiers →

    - Color & longevity

    The right color - that stays clean.

    Color is the decision homeowners agonize over, and the one most affected by your home’s actual light. Two things matter here.

    See it in your light

    A color reads differently on a sample card than on a roof slope. We bring full samples to your home and show how each looks against your siding and trim in natural light.

    StainGuard Plus

    Shaded, north-facing slopes develop black algae streaking without protection. GAF’s StainGuard Plus resists it, so your roof keeps its color for years.

    Built for freeze-thaw

    Asphalt is rated 25–30 years, but real-world life runs 18–22 without a proper install. Correct ventilation and ice-&-water shield protect the full lifespan.

    When the big storms came through the Madison-area in April 2026, I immediately started looking for a reputable roofer—who also understood the importance of weather-resistant materials that can withstand hail and wind. It didn’t take me long to find Brad from BCG. We had damage that needed to be repaired before the next round of storms came through later that day and Brad had a crew out within hours. Our neighbors also had damage, and when their roofing company didn’t show up, Brad and his crew also took on fixing their damage on the spot. The contracting process was done over email and we were able to clearly understand all of the options available to us. On the day of install, the crew was efficient and fast with their work. But also, mistakes can happen. And what matters to us is not that there’s perfection (because that’s not realistic), but how a contractor deals with a mistake. As they were taking down the tarps when they were finished with the roof, one of our lights next to the garage broke. Brad helped find a replacement online and had it shipped directly to our house! Such great service! All in all, we were very happy with Brad and the service we received from him and BCG. We’ve since recommended their services to several of our friends and neighbors who also had storm damage. While I hope we won’t have to do that again for a long time, we would work with BCG again in a heartbeat!

    I am extremely pleased with the service Matt Walmer from Buckshot General Contracting (BGC) provided for me during the hailstorm damage in Madison in April. I had just switched insurance companies one year ago and was worried about how much they would cover. Matt assured me everything would be taken care of and had nothing to worry about. True to his word he immediately answered phone calls during off hours even when he was with daughter at volleyball and answering texts in seconds Matt met up with assessor and arrived 20 minutes early. During roof replacement he stopped in 3 times to check the progress and next day he came back to do a walk around to make sure the cleanup was to his standards. I have been so blessed to work with Matt at BGC as my contractor as everything went so smoothly. No problems with my insurance company and I was the first one on my block to get my roof done. I also was telling Matt about some of my neighbors having problems with their insurance and he was willing to look at their paperwork and giving them advice on how to deal with them. I can proudly say I announced to them how good Matt was and gave them his card. Thank you so much Matt for your excellent service and being a great representative for Buckshot General Contracting. These days days it’s hard to find a business that is 100% committed to making sure the customer is their #1 concern. Going to be doing more work and sticking with them as I know it will be top quality.

    We contacted BGC after storm damage and had them completely re-roof and re-side our house, garage, and shed. The entire process was incredibly smooth from start to finish. They were easy to work with, handled all the details, and made what could have been a stressful situation completely worry-free. Our contact, Jayce Kirkland, was outstanding. His professionalism, communication, and courteous demeanor were truly a breath of fresh air. He took care of everything for us and made sure the project stayed on track every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and have and would highly recommend BGC to anyone needing roofing or siding work!

    - Frequently asked

    Asphalt shingle questions, answered.

    GAF architectural shingles are rated about 25–30 years, but real-world life runs closer to 18–22 without a proper install. Correct ventilation and ice-&-water shield are what protect the full lifespan - which is why the installer matters as much as the shingle.

    Timberline HDZ fits most homes - best value, widest colours, up to 130 mph. UHDZ adds deeper shadow lines and curb appeal, great before a sale. Camelot II gives a designer cedar-shake look. We bring physical samples so you can see each in your home’s light.

    Standard architectural shingles handle typical Midwest weather, and GAF’s Timberline CS Class 4 impact-resistant shingle adds hail protection that can qualify for an insurance premium discount. We’ll tell you whether it fits your home and policy.

    Those streaks are algae, common on shaded, north-facing slopes. GAF’s StainGuard Plus resists it so your roof keeps its colour for years.

    Most asphalt roofs run about $7,500 to $22,000+ depending on home size, pitch and shingle tier. A typical mid-size home with Timberline HDZ lands around $11,000–$15,500. Your written, line-item estimate is free. See the cost guide →

    The same GAF shingle carries a very different warranty and lifespan depending on who installs it. Only a GAF Master Elite contractor can register GAF’s System Plus coverage, and correct flashing, ventilation and underlayment are what let a roof reach its rated life.
