Build a career with a crew that stands behind it.

Buckshot runs its own crews on every job, no subcontracting. That means steady, year-round work with a 47-year family company, not another season chasing storms for a 1099 check. If you take pride in doing it right, there's a place for you here.

    —  Why Buckshot

    01 / Why

    More than a paycheck for the season.

    A lot of roofing work is seasonal and subbed out. We're built the opposite way: our own crews, real standards, and a family name on every job.

    Steady work

    An established 1979 company, not a seasonal storm operation that vanishes when the weather clears.

    Our own crews

    You work for Buckshot directly as W-2, not a subbed-out 1099 bouncing between companies.

    Learn the best

    Build under GAF Master Elite systems, the top 2% of roofers, with proven standards.

    Local roots

    Work close to home across WI and IA, for a company your neighbors can find tomorrow.
