Older homesBefore a reroof

What a historic Cedarburg home needs before a reroof

A century-old home is not a bigger version of a new one. These are the things we plan for before the first shingle comes off.

Profile & color that fit

Dimensional architectural shingles in muted, era-appropriate colors read well on stone and frame homes, so the roof suits the house and the historic streetscape rather than fighting it.

Hidden ventilation upgrades

Older attics were rarely built to breathe. Adding balanced intake and exhaust without altering the home’s look is what actually stops future ice dams and premature shingle wear.

Ice-and-water at the eaves

Long Ozaukee winters push melt back under the shingles at the edges. A membrane along the eaves and in the valleys is the durable defense on a steep older roof.

The decking underneath

Board sheathing and multiple old layers often hide soft spots that only appear once the roof is stripped to bare wood, so we plan for what we may find, not just what we can see.

Additions & dormers

Century homes grow over time, and every added wing, dormer and porch roof creates a junction that needs fresh, correctly detailed flashing to stay watertight.

Permits & district rules

Homes in or near the historic district can have review or material considerations. We plan the permit and any requirements with the property before the tear-off, not after.

What goes wrongCedarburg roof failure

What actually wears out a Cedarburg roof

Summer hailOzaukee County thunderstorms drop hail that strips the protective granules off shingles and dents flashing and vents.

Straight-line windWind off the surrounding open country lifts and tears shingles, sometimes down a whole block at once.

Ice damsUnder-ventilated older attics let heat melt the snow up high, and it refreezes at the eaves and forces water under the shingles.

Valley & dormer leaksSteep historic rooflines and added dormers have many intersections where old flashing eventually gives way.

Aging builder shinglesNewer subdivision homes on the edge of town are reaching the end of their first roof all around the same time.

Masonry chimney wearOld brick chimneys on Cedarburg’s original homes need step and counter flashing rebuilt, not just re-caulked.

How we buildLayer by layer

Built for Wisconsin, layer by layer

A roof is a system, not just shingles. Every Cedarburg roof we install is built to handle ice dams, wind and hail, from the deck up.

Decking inspected on bare wood before anything goes back on, so soft spots get replaced.

Ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, the local ice-dam defense.

GAF Timberline HDZ & UHDZ with StainGuard algae resistance and LayerLock high-wind nailing.

Camelot II available for a designer slate look.

Synthetic underlayment, ridge cap, drip edge and new pipe-boot flashing throughout.

Balanced attic ventilation so heat and moisture do not cook the roof from below.

Repair or replaceThe honest answer

Repair it or replace it?

On a Cedarburg home the honest call depends on the roof’s age, the home’s era and whether the attic is quietly feeding leaks and ice dams.

What we find on your Cedarburg roof	What we usually recommend
One leak at a valley, dormer or chimney, roof otherwise sound	Targeted repair
A few hail-bruised or wind-lifted shingles after a storm	Targeted repair
Storm damage across most of the roof, documented for a claim	Insurance replacement
Builder shingles past 18 to 22 years, curling or bald	Full replacement
Repeat ice-dam leaks and an under-ventilated older attic	Replacement + ventilation
Soft decking or several old layers found on inspection	Full replacement

Our free inspection includes the attic and eaves, and on an older home a material and color plan, all in writing with photos before you decide anything.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

FAQCedarburg roofing

Cedarburg roofing questions, answered straight

Historic stone home, a frame house off Washington Avenue, or a newer subdivision roof? Call and talk it through with a real person, no call center.

Call (608) 909-9109

Q.01 Do you roof historic homes in Cedarburg?

Yes. Much of Cedarburg’s housing dates to the 1800s, including stone and frame homes in and around the historic district. We plan the profile, color, flashing and hidden ventilation to protect the home and match its character, and we sort out any local requirements before the tear-off.

Q.02 Can you match a roof to my home’s historic look?

That is the goal on an older home. Modern architectural shingles come in dimensional profiles and muted colors that read well on a 19th-century stone or frame house, and standing-seam metal suits some steep or landmark rooflines. We help you pick a material and color that respect the home and the streetscape.

Q.03 Why do older Cedarburg homes get ice dams?

Older attics were rarely built with enough ventilation, so heat melts the snow up high, it refreezes at the cold eaves, and the ice pushes water under the shingles. The durable fix is attic air-sealing, balanced ventilation and ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, done in a way that does not change the home’s look.

Q.04 Does Cedarburg get hail and wind damage?

Yes. As a Milwaukee-area county in the region’s severe-storm corridor, Ozaukee sees summer thunderstorms with hail and strong straight-line winds off the open country. Hail strips granules and dents flashing; wind lifts and tears shingles. A free inspection with photos tells you whether it is worth an insurance claim.

Q.05 Are you local to Cedarburg, or do you travel here?

Buckshot is a Wisconsin roofing contractor based in Madison, GAF Master Elite and family-owned since 1979. We take on Cedarburg and Ozaukee County roof replacement and storm work as a licensed Wisconsin contractor. Call (608) 909-9109 and we will confirm scheduling for your address before anything is promised.
