    —  What Is The WRCA

    SEC 01 / 05

    Wisconsin's roofing association.

    The Wisconsin Roofing Contractors Association (WRCA) is the state's professional body for roofing contractors. Here's what our membership actually means, and, just as importantly, what it doesn't.

    A statewide association

    The WRCA represents professional roofing contractors across Wisconsin, promoting quality work, standards, and professionalism in our home state.

    Standards close to home

    Membership keeps us connected to roofing practices and education relevant to Wisconsin conditions, including the freeze-thaw climate our roofs actually face.

    What it isn't

    To be straight with you: WRCA 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.

    —  Why Local Matters

    SEC 02 / 05

    A Wisconsin roof has Wisconsin problems.

    Roofing in our state isn't the same as roofing in a mild climate. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, heavy snow loads, and big temperature swings all test a roof in ways a contractor has to plan for. Being tied to a Wisconsin roofing body matters because:

    The standards reflect our climate, not a generic, anywhere-in-the-country approach.We're rooted here, family-owned in Wisconsin since 1979, not a company passing through.It pairs with national standards, our WRCA membership sits alongside our national NRCA membership.It signals a long-term contractor, the kind invested in the local trade and here to stay.

    —  More Than One Credential

    SEC 03 / 05

    A Stack Of Real Qualifications

    WRCA membership is one piece of the picture.

    We back our work with a range of industry credentials and affiliations, local and national, each meaning something specific. Explore the ones with their own standards and programs:

    —  Standards In Practice

    SEC 04 / 05

    Where being a Wisconsin pro actually shows up.

    A credential only matters if it changes how the work gets done. Here's where our standards-driven, local approach shows up on your project:

    Our own crews, never subcontracted, so the people on your roof answer to us.Built for the climate, installed for Wisconsin freeze-thaw, snow, and ice-dam realities.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.

    It means we belong to the Wisconsin Roofing Contractors Association, our state’s professional roofing body. Membership keeps our team connected to roofing standards, education, and a community of professionals right here in Wisconsin, and signals our commitment to quality local work. More on the WRCA →

    No, and we want to be clear about that. WRCA membership is professional membership, not a contractor’s license, a certification, or a warranty. It reflects our commitment to standards and the craft. The guarantee on your project is the written warranty we provide. Our warranties →

    They’re complementary. The WRCA is Wisconsin’s state-level roofing association, focused on our region and climate. The NRCA is the national association. We’re members of both, so we stay tied to standards at the local and national level. Our NRCA membership →

    No. Our credentials are part of how we run the business, not a line item on your estimate. You get a clear, itemized, no-obligation estimate, and the value of working with a standards-driven, local, family-owned contractor comes built in. Free estimate →

    Alongside WRCA, we hold NRCA membership, GAF Master Elite, FORTIFIED, a BBB A+ rating, and affiliations including UASRC, InterNACHI, and IICRC. Each means something specific, and we’re glad to explain any of them. See our credentials →

    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.
