    Inspection
    Storm & Hail Damage

    Thorough Documentation.
    Straightforward Process.

    After a hailstorm or severe wind event, the damage to your roof isn't always visible from the ground. Granule loss, dented flashing, and cracked shingles often go unnoticed until water finds its way in — weeks or months later. A thorough inspection early prevents small damage from becoming a major repair.

    Buckshot provides free storm damage inspections across the Fox Valley. Our teams are trained to identify and document all weather-related damage and provide detailed written reports with photographs. We are pre-approved to scope and perform covered restoration work through five major insurance contractor programs.

    Note: Buckshot General Contracting provides damage assessment, documentation, and restoration services. We are not public adjusters and do not provide claims adjusting services. All insurance determinations are made by your insurance carrier. Coverage depends on your individual policy.
    • Free hail and storm damage inspection with written documentation
    • Detailed photo reports prepared to insurance industry standards
    • Pre-approved through 5 preferred insurance contractor programs
    • Temporary roof securing available the same day if needed
    • Experience with hail, wind, ice dam, and fallen tree damage

    What We Do
    in the Fox Valley.

    One company handles every exterior need — from a single-day roof repair to a full commercial re-roof. No subcontracting hand-offs without your knowledge, and no job considered too small.

    Roof Replacement
    Full tear-off and installation using GAF shingles selected for Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads. Most Appleton homes completed in a single day. GAF Master Elite status means we can offer the 50-year System Plus warranty — a significant upgrade over standard manufacturer warranties.
    Most Common
    Roof Repair
    We trace the actual source of a leak rather than patching visible symptoms. Lifted flashing, cracked ridge caps, failed pipe boots, and ice dam damage are common in the Fox Valley and each has a specific fix that holds through Wisconsin winters.
    Low Competition
    Storm Damage
    Detailed hail and wind damage inspections with written documentation. We are pre-approved through 5 insurance contractor programs to scope and complete covered restoration work. All coverage decisions rest with your insurance carrier per your individual policy.
    Documentation Specialists
    Commercial Roofing
    Flat roof systems, TPO, and full commercial restoration for Appleton businesses and Outagamie County property managers. Commercial roofing in the Fox Valley is an underserved niche — most local contractors are primarily residential, which means commercial clients get faster scheduling through Buckshot.
    Low Competition
    Emergency Repairs
    24/7 response for active storm damage across the Fox Valley. We dispatch quickly to secure exposed areas, remove debris, and stop water intrusion before interior damage compounds. Temporary tarping and permanent repair in sequence.
    24/7 Available
    Siding & Gutters
    Vinyl and fiber cement siding installation, gutter systems, gutter guards, and complete exterior restoration. Storm damage to siding and gutters is often documented alongside roofing in insurance restoration projects — we handle all exterior systems together.

    The Owner

    Chad Yates Started
    on a Roof at 14.

    Chad grew up in Orfordville, Wisconsin, working beside his brothers as a laborer under his father's company, Yates Construction. By the time he launched Buckshot General Contracting, the roofing trade wasn't something he studied — it was something he'd done with his hands for years.

    That background shapes how Buckshot operates today. Every project gets the same attention whether it's a two-square repair or a full commercial replacement. When Chad and the BGC team arrive at your door, you get a straightforward assessment, a clear estimate, and a crew that takes cleanup as seriously as the roof itself.

    Buckshot's reputation across Wisconsin is built job by job. A 4.7-star Google rating across 80 reviews from real homeowners reflects the same standard Chad set from the beginning: show up, do it right, stand behind the work.

    The Warranty Most
    Appleton Roofers
    Cannot Offer.

    GAF Master Elite is the top tier of contractor certification in the roofing industry, held by fewer than 2% of contractors in the United States. Earning it requires verified licensing, insurance, quality standards, and ongoing training reviews — it's not a marketing label you pay for.

    The practical difference for your Appleton home: a GAF Master Elite installation qualifies for the System Plus 50-year warranty, which covers both the shingles and the labor. Standard contractor certifications only cover the materials. That labor coverage matters when something goes wrong years from now.

    • 50-year System Plus warranty — materials and labor both covered
    • Full GAF shingle lineup including Timberline HDZ and UHDZ
    • Verified installation standards required for certification
    • Warranty transfers when you sell your home

    Wisconsin Homeowner

    Buckshot provided detailed documentation of the hail damage to our roof. Their inspection report was thorough and professional. The installation crew was on time, worked all day, and the finished roof looks great. Would hire them again without hesitation.

    The crew showed up when they said they would, worked clean all day, and swept the driveway with a magnet before leaving. I've dealt with contractors who left debris for a week. That level of care tells you a lot about how seriously they take the actual work.

    Third time using Buckshot across three different properties over the years. Each time — professional, reliable, same quality. Companies that get better as they grow are rare. This is one of them. Highly recommended to anyone in Wisconsin looking for a roofer they can actually count on.

    FAQ — Appleton & Fox Valley

    Questions We Get
    in the Fox Valley.

    Do you serve Appleton and the Fox Valley area?
    Yes. We serve Appleton, Grand Chute, Neenah, Menasha, Kaukauna, Little Chute, Kimberly, Greenville, Hortonville, Combined Locks, Oshkosh, and surrounding Outagamie County communities. If you don't see your area listed, call (608) 909-9109 — we likely cover it.
    What does a roof replacement cost in Appleton WI?
    Most residential roof replacements in the Fox Valley run between $9,000 and $17,000 depending on home size, roof pitch, material selection, and whether a full tear-off is required. A typical Appleton home with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles generally lands in the $11,000–$14,000 range. We provide free, detailed written estimates with no pressure to commit.
    Do you provide storm damage inspections in Appleton?
    Yes — all inspections are free with no obligation. We document damage with photos and written reports. Buckshot is pre-approved through five insurance contractor programs (Contractor Connection, Nexus, Innovation, Sedgewick, and MSP) to scope and complete covered restoration work. Coverage and claims decisions are made by your insurance carrier based on your policy.
    What makes Buckshot different from other roofers in Appleton?
    GAF Master Elite certification places us in the top 2% of US roofing contractors. It requires verified licensing, adequate insurance, quality standards, and ongoing review — and it's the only path to offering the 50-year System Plus warranty. Beyond credentials, Buckshot has been family-owned since 1979. The accountability that comes with that is different from a franchise operation.
    Do you handle commercial roofing in Appleton?
    Yes. We handle flat roofs, TPO systems, and full commercial re-roof projects for businesses and property managers in the Fox Valley. Commercial roofing in Appleton is genuinely underserved — most area contractors focus on residential work — which means commercial clients typically see faster scheduling and more direct communication working with us.
    Are you licensed and insured in Wisconsin?
    Yes. Wisconsin contractor license DC-080900045. We carry full liability and workers' compensation coverage on every project. We are members of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), Wisconsin Roofing Contractors Association (WRCA), United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC), and are BBB accredited.

    Fox Valley Roofing.
    Done Right.

    Free inspection. Honest estimate. A crew that shows up when they say they will.
