    Why metal

    The roof you install once.

    Metal costs more upfront, then quietly wins the next 50 years. Here’s why owners planning to hold the building choose it.

    40-60 year lifespan

    Often the last roof the building ever needs - a metal roof typically outlasts two or three single-ply membrane replacements.

    Lowest cost per year

    Higher upfront, but fewer replacements and minimal upkeep push the lifecycle cost below single-ply for long-term owners.

    Cool-metal energy savings

    Reflective PVDF finishes bounce heat instead of absorbing it, trimming cooling loads and utility bills all summer.

    Low maintenance

    No re-coat cycles and no seams to reseal - just periodic inspections. It largely takes care of itself.

    Sheds snow, resists fire

    Metal sheds snow and ice, carries Class A fire ratings, and stays tough through freeze-thaw without getting brittle.

    Sustainable & solar-ready

    High recycled content, fully recyclable - and standing seam takes clamp-on solar with no roof penetrations.

    Standing seam vs. panels

    Three ways to put metal on your building.

    The right system depends on your building, slope and budget. We install and recommend all three.

    Standing seam

    Premium · concealed fastener Raised vertical seams with hidden fasteners - no penetrations to leak. The weathertight, solar-ready choice for offices, retail and low-slope roofs.

    Exposed-fastener panels

    Value · R-panel / corrugated Through-fastened panels that install fast and cost less - the workhorse for agricultural, industrial and warehouse buildings.

    Retrofit / recover

    Over existing A new metal roof installed over a sound existing roof where the structure and code allow - saving on tear-off and disposal.

    Not sure metal is the right call? We also install PVC / TPO single-ply and modified bitumen →

    Commercial metal cost

    What a commercial metal roof costs in Wisconsin.

    Installed per-square-foot ranges - your written proposal is exact after a measure and structural check.

    Exposed-fastener panels

    $5-$10per sq ft installedR-panel and corrugated - the most cost-effective way onto agricultural, industrial and warehouse roofs.

    ★ Premium

    Standing seam

    $9-$16per sq ft installedConcealed fasteners, PVDF finish and solar-readiness - the long-life, weathertight system.

    Retrofit / recover

    $7-$14per sq ft installedMetal over a sound existing roof - saves roughly $1-$2/sq ft in tear-off and disposal.

    A typical 10,000 sq ft standing-seam roof runs roughly $80,000-$140,000 installed - but over a 40-60 year life with almost no maintenance, the cost per year is what wins. Free assessment and written proposal, no obligation.

    Metals & finishes

    The metal, and the coat that protects it.

    Two base metals and a premium factory finish - we’ll match the substrate and color to your building and environment.

    Steel & Galvalume

    The workhorse Galvanized or Galvalume-coated steel - strong, cost-effective and corrosion-resistant for the vast majority of commercial roofs.

    Aluminum

    Naturally corrosion-proof Lightweight and naturally rust-proof - the choice for corrosive or high-humidity environments and weight-sensitive structures.

    PVDF / Kynar finish

    Premium coating A fade- and chalk-resistant factory coating with cool-roof heat reflection - it keeps its color and performance for decades.

    The long game

    Metal vs. single-ply, over 50 years.

    Single-ply wins on upfront price. Metal wins on the timeline that matters if you’re holding the building - here’s the honest lifecycle picture.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    *update* number 2 I have been through about 4 different people now to get my issue fixed. They came and fixed the side that was leaking. The contractor that came out confirmed the siding wasnt installed properly and put in some flashing to fix the issue. Since it wasnt installed right i wanted the rest of the house done to prevent other issues and the company agreed to do that. Still not done and now im dealing with yet another person who has not contacted me to resolve my issue. Told them when this job was completed i wanted a new patio door as well to get the last year of the energy credit. Crickets. I have been very patient, but am beyond frustrated at this point. *update* After posting i was contacted regarding my review. Turns out the reason i wasn’t contacted was because my salesman is no longer with the company and never responded to tell me that when i called him (his number was still correct at the time of the call). I had a rep come to my home and immediately discuss solutions to the issue. Everything was done properly on my home, its just one of those things no one could foresee. I am beyond happy with the speed things are moving once i was contacted. Already making plans for additional work needed next season. Had windows and siding done. The windows crew was fantastic. Personable as well as professional. Siding crew was also great. My issue comes with the after care. My basement was leaking during rains. It also leaked running the sprinkler for new grass. Contacted my salesman and never heard back. Been probably a month? Had a contractor friend of mine come look and the issue was the siding wasnt ran low enough (or a piece of flashing would have worked as well) to stop water from coming through the basement from under the sill plate. Id have even paid to have it corrected, but no call. My issue is a simple one, but the aftercare deserves a one. The total score is because their crews were great. The people in admin simply need to be better. I had to remove foam that was trafficking water in and will be using flex seal to create a barrier since no call was made back. Update as of april, 2026. After some frustrating back and forth one of their contractors came our and looked at my situation late summer of 2025. Confirmed the siding wasnt done properly and installed flashing where the leak was and i haven’t had an issue since. Despite the numerous tornados weve had. With that said, Fall of 2025 i told them (after being informed the siding wasn’t done properly by their guy) i told them while the basement no longer seems to leak, i want the rest of the house covered with that flashing incase their are other problems. i dont want to refinish my basement to discover issues. The “salesman” essentially accused me of only wanting free things and after him explaining to me how awesome he was and that i was wrong, i stopped the phone call. The subcontractors they hire are overall solid, but some of the staff have made the company unusable for me. Just be cautious if you use them. Communication is great… until they get your money.
    Frequently asked

    Commercial metal questions, answered.

    Standing seam hides its fasteners under raised vertical seams, so there are no penetrations to leak - the premium, weathertight, solar-ready choice. Exposed-fastener panels (R-panel, corrugated) are through-fastened and more cost-effective, and suit agricultural, industrial and warehouse buildings.

    About 40-60 years - often the last roof the building ever needs. It typically outlasts two or three single-ply membrane replacements over the same period.

    Over the building lifecycle, usually yes. Fewer replacements, minimal maintenance and cool-metal energy savings drive the cost per year below single-ply for long-term owners. We’ll lay out the math in your proposal.

    Very well. Metal sheds snow and ice instead of holding it, resists ice damage, carries Class A fire ratings, and stays tough through freeze-thaw without getting brittle.

    Yes - especially standing seam. Solar arrays clamp directly to the seams with no roof penetrations, so you can add solar later without compromising the roof or its warranty.

    Often, yes. A retrofit or recover over a sound existing roof can save on tear-off where the structure can carry the load and code allows. We assess it first and tell you honestly.
