After a storm, the right contractor matters most.
Buckshot is a member of the United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC), a homeowner-focused group built to promote ethical, best-practice storm restoration, the opposite of the storm-chasers that show up after bad weather. Family-owned since 1979.
A standard built for homeowners.
The United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC) is a non-profit organization founded in 2012 to promote the highest ethical standards in storm restoration. Here's what our membership means, and what it doesn't.
Homeowner-focused
The UASRC was created to be a homeowner-centric organization, identifying best business practices so people dealing with a member know they're working with a reputable contractor.
An answer to storm-chasers
It was founded specifically to counter the fly-by-night "storm chasers" who flood an area after bad weather and give the storm restoration industry a bad name.
What it is, and isn't
To be straight with you: UASRC is a professional membership tied to a best-practices standard, not a contractor's license or a warranty. It reflects how we operate, not a guarantee on any one job.
The week after a storm is when homeowners get burned.
When hail or wind rolls through, out-of-town crews follow. Some are fine; many are gone the moment the check clears. A homeowner-first standard like the UASRC matters because the alternative is costly:
- Storm-chasers pressure you to sign fast, before you've understood the damage or your options.
- They're not here for the warranty, when a problem surfaces next winter, they've moved on.
- We're the opposite, established, local, and family-owned since 1979, with our own crews.
- We work with any insurance carrier and document your storm damage honestly for the claim.
UASRC 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 with their own standards and programs:

Membership in the Wisconsin Roofing Contractors Association, our home-state roofing body.
GAF Master Elite →
A top GAF shingle-system certification held by a small share of roofers, enabling enhanced warranties on qualifying asphalt roofs.

BBB A+

InterNACHI & IICRC
Inspection and restoration credentials that sharpen how we assess and restore after storms.
What a homeowner-first standard looks like on your storm claim.
A credential only matters if it changes how the work gets done. Here's where our storm-restoration standards show up on your project:
- Honest damage assessment, we document what's actually there, with photos, not invented damage.
- We work with any carrier, and you pay your deductible while we handle the rest of the process.
- A contractor, not a public adjuster, your insurer decides coverage; we do the roofing right.
- 24/7 emergency response, tarping and water mitigation when a storm can't wait. Storm damage →
