— Why Centerville Chooses Buckshot

SEC 01 / 07

Not "licensed and insured." Actually different.

Plenty of roofers pass through southern Iowa after a storm. Here's what makes a local Buckshot roof different, with specifics, not slogans.

✓

GAF Master Elite, top 2%

Only 2% of US roofing contractors earn this status. It means your Centerville roof qualifies for GAF's 50-year System Plus warranty covering both materials and workmanship, which standard contractors cannot offer.

✓

47 years on Midwest roofs

Family-owned since 1979. We've built roofs through decades of Midwest weather, spring hail, summer wind, freeze-thaw winters, and we know how to build one that outlasts an Iowa season cycle.

✓

5 insurance programs

Pre-approved through Contractor Connection, Nexus, Innovation, Sedgwick, and MSP. We attend adjuster visits, present documentation, and have turned repair-only offers into full replacements.

✓

No subcontractors. Ever.

Every crew member who touches your Centerville roof is a Buckshot employee. The same people who estimate your job install it, supervised by the same foreman. Your roof is never handed off.

✓

24/7 emergency response

Storms don't keep office hours. Active leaks, fallen branches, or missing shingles after severe weather, we respond across Appanoose County around the clock. (608) 909-9109.

✓

Financing available

A roof replacement is a significant investment. We offer financing through our lending partners so cash flow doesn't delay a roof that needs replacing. Terms explained at your estimate, no surprises.

— What Goes on Your Roof

SEC 03 / 07

Built for the Iowa season cycle.

Material selection determines how your roof handles southern Iowa's hail springs, windy summers, and freeze-thaw winters. We install GAF Timberline products on the majority of Centerville residential replacements, the best cost-to-performance choice for this climate.

— What a Roof Costs Here

SEC 06 / 07

Real numbers, because vague estimates waste your time. A typical 1,800 sq ft home with GAF Timberline HDZ generally runs $12,000 to $15,000. Your exact figure depends on a handful of factors we confirm at the free inspection:

Roofing squares (size)
Pitch & slope complexity
Existing layers to remove
Decking condition
Ventilation upgrades
Flashing replacements

Insurance claim? If your roof is replaced through a covered claim, you pay only your deductible and we work directly with your insurer to recover the full replacement cost under your policy's RCV terms.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

Free inspection · 24/7 emergency line

Q.01 — Does Buckshot actually serve Centerville, or just Wisconsin?

We serve Centerville and Appanoose County directly. Buckshot is family-owned since 1979 with a local field office here in southern Iowa, the same crews, the same GAF Master Elite standards, and the same 24/7 emergency response we’re known for across the Midwest.

Q.02 — What does a new roof cost in Centerville?

Most residential replacements run $8,500 to $18,000, with a typical 1,800 sq ft home on GAF Timberline HDZ around $12,000 to $15,000. The exact figure depends on size, pitch, existing layers, decking condition, and ventilation, all confirmed at your free inspection. If it’s a covered insurance claim, you pay only your deductible. See pricing →

Q.03 — Do you handle the insurance claim after a storm?

Yes. We document the damage in adjuster format, attend the adjuster visit in person, and coordinate the claim from inspection to final paperwork. We’re pre-approved through 5 carrier programs. We are your contractor, not a public adjuster (Iowa Code §522C). Claims help →

Q.04 — How fast can you respond to an emergency?

Our emergency line is answered 24/7 and we dispatch across Centerville and Appanoose County around the clock. For active leaks and storm damage we tarp and secure first, then provide a full assessment within 24 hours. Call (608) 909-9109.

Q.05 — What makes GAF Master Elite worth it?

Only the top 2% of US roofing contractors hold it, and it’s the only way to access GAF’s 50-year System Plus warranty covering both materials and workmanship, non-prorated and transferable. A standard contractor can’t offer that no matter how long they’ve been in business. More on Master Elite →

Q.06 — Do you use subcontractors?

Never. Every crew member who touches your Centerville roof is a Buckshot employee. The same people who inspect and quote your roof install it, supervised by the same foreman, and the workmanship warranty is ours, in writing.
