The communities we work in are the ones we live in.
Buckshot has been a family-owned business since 1979, and the towns across Wisconsin and Iowa where we put roofs over people's heads are home. We believe a local business should show up for its neighbors. Know a cause or a neighbor who could use a hand? Tell us.
Know a cause worth supporting?
We'd rather hear from the people who live here than guess. If a local organization, school group, or neighbor in your area could use support, point us to it.
A local business should act like one.
We're not a national chain passing through. We've been family-owned since 1979, our crews are local, and the people we serve are our neighbors. That shapes how we think about giving back.
Home is local
The towns where we work are where our families and crews live too. Supporting them is supporting ourselves.
People over transactions
A roof is a big moment in a family's life. We try to treat every customer, and every neighbor, like we'd want to be treated.
Showing up after storms
When a storm rolls through, communities pull together. As a contractor, we try to be a steady, honest presence when people need help most.
The kinds of causes close to home.
Rather than spread thin, we'd rather make a real difference close to where we work. We're especially drawn to the things that keep a community strong:
- Local youth, schools, and family programs in the towns we serve.
- Neighbors facing hardship, especially after storms or tough seasons.
- Community projects and improvements that help everyone.
- Causes our team and customers care about, because they live here too.
Built on small-town roots.
Buckshot's owner, Chad Yates, grew up in Orfordville, Wisconsin, and learned the trade working alongside his father in the family construction business. That small-town, family-first upbringing is still how the company operates today.
It's why we use our own crews instead of subcontractors, why we treat a customer's home like our own, and why being part of the community, not just working in it, matters to us.
