Connected to the standards that define good roofing.
Buckshot is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association, the industry's leading professional association. It keeps our crews tied to recognized standards, ongoing education, and roofing best practices, so the work we do reflects how roofing should be done. Family-owned since 1979.
The roofing industry's professional association.
The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) is one of the construction industry's oldest and most respected trade associations. Here's what membership actually means, and, just as importantly, what it doesn't.
A trade association
The NRCA represents professional roofing contractors and develops the standards and guidelines that inform quality roofing practice across the country.
Education & resources
Membership connects our team to technical resources, training, and the latest in roofing methods, materials, and safety, so our knowledge stays current.
What it isn't
To be straight with you: NRCA membership is professional membership, not a license, a certification, or a warranty. It reflects our commitment to the craft, not a guarantee on any one job.
What a standards-driven contractor means for your roof.
You shouldn't have to take "we do quality work" on faith. Being tied to NRCA standards is one of the ways we keep that promise honest:
- We work to recognized standards, not just whatever's fastest or cheapest on the day.
- Our knowledge stays current, on materials, methods, and safety, through ongoing education.
- It signals a long-term contractor, the kind that invests in the craft and plans to be around.
- It pairs with our other credentials and, most of all, the warranty we put on your project.
NRCA membership is one piece of the picture.
We back our work with a range of industry credentials and affiliations, each meaning something specific. Explore the ones that carry their own standards and programs:
GAF Master Elite →
A top GAF shingle-system certification held by a small share of roofers, enabling enhanced warranties on qualifying asphalt roofs.
FORTIFIED →
A resilience standard from the IBHS for roofs built to better withstand severe weather.
BBB A+
An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, reflecting our standing and how we handle customers.
WRCA & UASRC
Membership in regional and association roofing bodies, keeping us connected to standards close to home.
InterNACHI
Inspection-related credentials that sharpen how thoroughly we assess a roof.
IICRC
Standards relevant to restoration and water-damage work, useful after storms.
Where the standards actually show up.
A credential only matters if it changes how the work gets done. Here's where our standards-driven approach shows up on your project:
- Our own crews, never subcontracted, so the people on your roof answer to us.
- Proper installation, following manufacturer and industry standards, not shortcuts.
- Honest assessments, we tell you whether you need a repair or a replacement, with photos.
- Warranty in writing, the standards inform the work; the warranty backs it. Our warranties →
