Milwaukee's
Roofing &
Exterior Crew.
Family-owned since 1979. GAF Master Elite certified — one of a very small number of contractors in the greater Milwaukee area to hold that designation. Roof replacement, repair, storm damage, commercial roofing, siding, and gutters across Milwaukee County and surrounding suburbs. Free estimates, no pressure, real crew.
Every Exterior Service
Milwaukee Needs.
From Bay View bungalows to commercial flat roofs on the south side — Buckshot handles the full range of residential and commercial exterior work. One company, one call, no subcontracting.
Full Roof Replacement
Full tear-off down to the deck — never a layover. Milwaukee's older housing stock, particularly in Riverwest, Walker's Point, and the near north and south sides, frequently has two or even three existing shingle layers already on. We do complete tear-offs and board-by-board deck inspections on every job. GAF Master Elite certification means your replacement qualifies for the 50-year System Plus warranty — the strongest in the industry, available only through the top 2% of US contractors. Most residential replacements are done in a single day.
GAF Master EliteLeak Repair & Restoration
Leaks, failed flashing, cracked or missing shingles, ice dam damage, chimney flashing failures, and soffit rot from chronic gutter overflow. We find the actual source of the problem — not just the visible symptom — and repair it so it holds through another Wisconsin winter. We won't sell you a replacement if a repair is the honest answer.
All Roof Types"We had Buckshot replace our roof a few years ago — the service and speed were excellent. So we called them back when we had a problem with our chimney leaking. Once again, excellent work. We recommend them highly."
Pamela J. · Milwaukee, WI · Google ★★★★★Storm & Hail Insurance Claims
Milwaukee sits in one of the most active severe weather corridors in the Midwest. The Lake Michigan effect extends storm season further into spring and fall than most of Wisconsin — and documented hail events across Milwaukee County have occurred every year since 2018. Most homeowners either don't file or accept a low initial offer. We attend the adjuster meeting with a full documentation package. Pre-approved through Contractor Connection, Nexus, Innovation, Sedgewick, and MSP.

Ginger B. · Milwaukee, WI · Google ★★★★★Commercial & Flat Roofing
TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and full commercial re-roofing for Milwaukee businesses, property managers, and multi-unit buildings. From the Third Ward warehouse corridor to flat-roofed apartment density across the north and south sides — we built this service line with the documentation standards and project coordination requirements commercial clients actually need.
Residential + CommercialSiding & Gutters
Vinyl siding and fiber cement (Hardie board) for Milwaukee homes where durability through freeze-thaw cycling matters as much as appearance. Custom seamless gutters fabricated on site — properly sized for Milwaukee's actual precipitation load and freeze-thaw cycle from November through April. If your home took hail or wind damage, siding and gutters are often impacted alongside the roof and can be included in the same insurance claim.
Custom Fabricated24/7 Emergency Response
Storm damage, fallen trees, active leaks — answered around the clock at (608) 909-9109. We dispatch fast, secure what's exposed, stop water intrusion, and follow up with a full written damage assessment for your insurance file. Milwaukee County, all suburbs, no exceptions.
24/7 AvailableAttic Ventilation
Prevents ice dams, extends roof life, and reduces heating costs. Assessed and included with every roofing estimate at no charge. In Milwaukee's climate, proper ridge vent and soffit vent balance isn't optional — it's a core component of a roofing system that performs through Wisconsin winters. GAF explicitly requires proper ventilation for System Plus warranty validity.
Included with EstimatesFortified Roofing
Built to certified wind and impact resistance standards above code minimum. Fortified designation is relevant for Milwaukee County homeowners looking at insurance cost reductions — some carriers offer meaningful premium adjustments for Gold-level certification. Call (608) 909-9109 to discuss whether your home qualifies.

Market Is Underserved.
That Works for You.
Most roofing companies in the area focus almost entirely on residential work. Commercial roofing — flat roofs, TPO systems, multi-unit buildings — is genuinely underserved in Milwaukee. That means better scheduling availability, faster project starts, and more direct communication than you'd typically get from a residential-only contractor trying to stretch into commercial work.
We built this service line deliberately. The documentation standards, insurance paperwork, and project coordination that commercial clients need are different from residential. We understand the difference because we do both — with the same crew accountability and the same no-subcontracting policy on every job.
- Flat roof replacement and repair
- TPO and EPDM membrane systems
- Modified bitumen for high-traffic roofs
- Multi-unit residential and mixed-use buildings
- Property management company relationships

What Actually
Differentiates Us
in a Big Market.
Milwaukee has plenty of roofing companies. Some have been around for decades. Others arrived after the last big hail season. Here's what makes Buckshot the right call — practically, not in marketing language.
GAF Master Elite — Top 2%
Every installation we complete qualifies for the 50-year GAF System Plus warranty — materials and labor both covered. Standard contractors cannot offer this regardless of how long they've been in business. The certification is earned, not purchased.
Milwaukee's Older Homes Require Real Tear-Offs
Bay View, Walker's Point, Riverwest, Brewers Hill — Milwaukee's historic housing stock frequently has two or three roofing layers already installed. We do complete tear-offs and inspect every decking board. No layovers, no shortcuts.
"Our 1920s bungalow had three layers of old roofing. Buckshot did the complete tear-off, fixed rotted decking they found underneath, and installed a new GAF roof with proper attic ventilation. Completely transparent process and professional crew throughout."
Patricia R. · Milwaukee, WI · GuildQuality ★★★★★Named Crew. Real Accountability.
Our customers don't just review the company — they review the people. Chad Yates and Jayce are among the crew members customers mention by name. Peter U. wrote: "Chad Yates made sure everything was done perfectly from start to finish — his attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly set the company apart." That's a homeowner who watched a real person care about their roof.

47 Years of Wisconsin Weather
Founded in 1979. Lake Michigan rooflines have specific demands — ice dam formation patterns, extended freeze-thaw cycling, and thermal stress that inland markets don't experience the same way. We understand them because we've been here long enough to see what fails over time and what doesn't.
Most Homeowners
Leave Money on
the Table.
After a major hail event, the difference between a $4,000 repair check and a $20,000 full replacement approval often comes down to who documented the damage and how. Adjusters aren't inspecting with the same detail as a contractor who gets on the roof and measures impact density per square.
Buckshot provides free hail inspections with the kind of documentation that insurance adjusters are trained to recognize. We attend the adjuster visit, present our findings, and have helped Wisconsin homeowners get full approvals on claims that were initially returned as repair-only. You pay your deductible. We handle the rest.

Buckshot General Contracting is fast, reliable, and delivers high-quality work you can trust. Chad Yates made sure everything was done perfectly from start to finish — his attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly set the company apart. Highly recommend.
Buckshot has always been there for me. Professional every step of the way — able to answer all my questions and help with submitting all paperwork needed for my insurance company. My house looks amazing. Thank you Chad and your employees.

Our 1920s bungalow had three layers of old roofing. Buckshot did the complete tear-off, fixed rotted decking they found underneath, and installed a new GAF roof with proper attic ventilation. Completely transparent process and professional crew throughout.
The roofing crew were very honest and made my roof look very good. Everything was cleaned up after the job was completed.
Jayce and his crew did a great job shingling the roof of our house. Job was done within a few hours with cleanup included. Would recommend. Just be careful if wife has plants on the front porch. 😎
