After the storm, one local crew handles all of it.
When hail or high wind moves through southern Iowa, Buckshot inspects free, documents the damage for your adjuster, and rebuilds with our own crews, no subcontractors. GAF Master Elite, family-owned since 1979, and 24/7 emergency response across Appanoose County. Most claim customers pay only their deductible.
Got it. We'll be in touch.
Thanks, there. We received your Centerville roofing request and respond within 2 hours during business hours.
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.
Every service your Centerville roof might need.
From a single leak repair to a full tear-off with new GAF installation, all under one crew, one company, one local point of contact.
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off to bare decking, decking inspection, GAF Timberline HDZ or UHDZ, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, ridge cap, and new flashing. Most homes completed in a single day.
Replacement details →Roof Repair
Leak diagnosis, chimney and valley flashing, step flashing, shingle replacement, and storm repairs. We trace the actual source of every leak before recommending a fix, not just the visible spot.
Repair services →Hail & Storm Damage
Free hail inspections with detailed photo documentation. We attend your adjuster visit and present our assessment. Pre-approved through 5 insurance programs. ACV vs RCV guidance included.
Storm & claims →Emergency Roof Repair
Active leaks, storm damage, fallen branches, missing shingles after severe weather. We dispatch across Centerville and Appanoose County around the clock, tarp and secure first, assessment within 24 hours.
Emergency line →Commercial Roofing

Commercial services →Attic Ventilation
Inadequate ridge, soffit, and attic fan systems shorten shingle life and drive winter ice dams. Proper ventilation also cuts summer cooling costs. Assessed and quoted on every roofing estimate.
Ventilation details →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.

- GAF Timberline UHDZ, ultra-high-definition, ideal for shaded lots prone to algae
- Ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, installed on every project regardless of code minimum

No mystery. Step by step.
Exactly what happens from your first call to the finished roof on your Centerville home. Repairs scheduled within 24 to 48 hours of approval; most replacements within 2 to 3 weeks.
Free inspection & written report
We document your full roof system with photos, shingles, decking, flashing, gutters, ventilation, and you get a written report regardless of whether you hire us.
Honest itemized estimate
A line-item breakdown of every material and labor cost, not a vague square-footage quote. We explain every number before anything is signed.
Material selection
We walk you through GAF shingle options, colors, warranty levels, and the ventilation system that matches your home. No pressure on tier.
Permits & scheduling
We pull the required Appanoose County permits. Most replacements scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks; emergencies within 24 to 48 hours.
Installation day
Crew arrives on time, protective tarps and magnetic nail sweepers down, full tear-off with decking inspection, and cleanup before leaving. Most homes done in a single day.
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the finished job with you and register your GAF warranty. You get the warranty certificate, permit closeout, and our workmanship warranty in writing.
Hail or wind claim? We carry the paperwork.
A large share of southern Iowa roofing jobs come through insurance claims after hail and wind events. We document the damage in adjuster format, attend the adjuster visit in person, and coordinate the claim from first call to final check. Most homeowners pay only their deductible.
- Free inspection & photo documentation
- Claim report in the adjuster's format
- Attending the adjuster visit
- RCV vs ACV and depreciation guidance
- Supplements & final claim documentation
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.
A real warranty, not a slogan.

Trusted across the Midwest.
You could not even tell they had been there, except that I had a new roof. I didn't even find a nail.
Great job explaining shingle defects and working along with the insurance adjuster to get my claim satisfied.
The help they provided with the paperwork and insurance company was amazing and much appreciated.
