We don't subcontract our roofing work. Our crews are ours, and every project is managed by a Buckshot project manager from the first inspection to the final cleanup. Here's what we handle.
When a roof is past repair — typically after 20–25 years for standard asphalt shingles in a Wisconsin climate — full replacement is the right call. We remove the old shingles, inspect and replace damaged decking, install ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys, and lay down new GAF shingles to manufacturer specification.
"Roof done less than a day — great work."
Packer Fan · Wisconsin homeowner · Google ★★★★★Not every roofing problem needs a full replacement. Missing shingles, damaged flashing around chimneys or skylights, small leak sources, cracked ridge cap — these are repaired when the rest of the roof is in sound condition. We locate the actual source of the problem, not just the visible symptom, and fix it with a written estimate before any work starts.
"They assessed and made the repair in good time. Very good workmanship in my opinion."
Ryan Pinnow · Wisconsin homeowner · Google ★★★★★Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground. Impacts leave soft spots in the shingle mat that cause water infiltration 12–18 months later — long after the storm. We inspect for hail impact patterns, document everything for your insurance adjuster, and attend the adjuster meeting with you so your claim is complete. Most storm restoration customers pay only their deductible.
Storm damage roof repair Wisconsin →For homeowners who want a roof that goes beyond standard residential specs, we install FORTIFIED-rated roofing systems designed to withstand high winds and severe weather better than code-minimum installations. This matters in Wisconsin, where wind events regularly exceed 60 mph and hail events hit the same neighborhoods multiple years in a row.
Fortified roofing systems Wisconsin →A poorly ventilated attic kills roofs early. In Wisconsin winters, inadequate ventilation creates ice dams at the eaves — ice builds up, backs water under the shingles, and saturates the decking. In summer, heat buildup degrades shingles from underneath. We assess ventilation on every roof inspection and install ridge vents, soffit vents, and power ventilators where needed.
Attic ventilation installation Wisconsin →Tree limbs come down. Windstorms pull shingles off in sections. When your roof is open to the sky, you need someone fast. We respond to emergency calls across our Wisconsin and Iowa territory, tarp exposed areas immediately, and document the damage for your insurance carrier. (608) 909-9109 — answered 24/7.
Emergency roof repair Wisconsin →If a storm has damaged your roof, filing the claim correctly determines what you get paid. We handle the paperwork, attend the adjuster inspection, and make sure the approved scope is complete before a single nail goes in. We're pre-approved through Contractor Connection, Nexus, Innovation, Sedgewick, and MSP — five preferred carrier programs that let us speak the same language as adjusters from the first call.
"I paid my insurance deductible and Buckshot worked with the insurance on the bill so I didn't have to."
P.S. · Wisconsin homeowner · Google ★★★★★Standard asphalt shingles are rated for 25–30 years. In Wisconsin, real-world lifespan runs closer to 18–22 years for most of the housing stock in Dane County. Three things drive that gap — and all three are preventable with the right installation and materials.
When gutters and eaves ice over in January and February, water backs up under the first few rows of shingles. Ice and water shield prevents this — but only if it was installed correctly in the first place. A lot of roofs in older Madison and Waunakee neighborhoods were installed before ice and water shield was standard practice. We see it regularly on inspections.
Southern Wisconsin sits in a storm corridor that sees measurable hail almost every spring. One-inch hailstones don't leave obvious dents on a shingle, but they crack the granule bond. Once that layer fractures, UV degradation accelerates and the shingle dries out within a few seasons. A roof that looked fine the day after a hailstorm can be leaking by the following fall.
We've inspected homes in Fitchburg and McFarland where the attic was 150°F on a July afternoon with zero air movement. That kind of heat, sustained over years, causes shingles to crack and curl at the edges well before their rated lifespan. Proper ridge and soffit ventilation keeps attic temperatures in line and extends shingle life by years.
GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. Their Master Elite certification is the top tier — fewer than 2% of roofing contractors in the country qualify. To earn it, a contractor has to maintain proper licensing and insurance, demonstrate installation quality, and maintain a track record of customer satisfaction verified by GAF directly.
For Wisconsin homeowners, it means two things. First, you're getting a contractor whose installation quality has been independently verified — not just self-reported. Second, you have access to GAF's enhanced warranty tiers, including System Plus and Golden Pledge coverage, which are only available through Master Elite contractors. A standard installer cannot offer you these warranties no matter what they charge.

We used Buckshot for a new roof. Very responsive, communicated well and did a phenomenal job!
You could not even tell they had been there, except that I had a new roof. I didn't even find a nail. And my contact Steve fixed an error the contractors made when I had new soffit installed, which he did not charge me extra for doing.
The entire team was professional and knowledgeable. Always willing to answer questions. Thank you Buckshot team for making our project run quickly and smoothly.
Jeremy was great to work with. His crew did an excellent job and finished in one day!
