    Every residential roof we build — and every one we fix.

    One family-owned crew for replacement, repair, and every roofing material, working on homes throughout Wisconsin. Pick where you are, and each link takes you straight to the details, pricing guidance, and a free inspection.

    Roof Replacement

    Full tear-off, deck inspection, ice barrier at the eaves as Wisconsin's building code requires, GAF underlayment, balanced ventilation and premium architectural shingles.

    Roof Repair

    Leaks, missing shingles, flashing failures and storm damage — fixed fast, often same or next day, with an honest verdict.

    Asphalt Shingles

    GAF Timberline HDZ and designer architectural shingles — the best value in residential roofing, with the 50-year Gold Pledge.

    Metal Roofing

    Standing-seam and metal systems that last 40–70 years, shed heavy Wisconsin snow, and cut cooling bills. A lifetime roof.

    Synthetic Shingles

    The look of slate or cedar at a fraction of the weight and cost — Class-4 impact ratings and long material warranties.

    Cedar Shake

    Natural western cedar for timeless curb appeal, installed by a crew that knows how to make it last in this climate.

    Tile Roofing

    Concrete and clay tile with a 50+ year lifespan and premium architectural character — engineered and installed for the load.

    Roofing Cost Guide

    What a new roof actually costs in Wisconsin — by material, size and pitch — plus financing from as low as a monthly payment.

    Not sure which roof is right?

    Twenty minutes on a ladder and a written report and you’ll know exactly where you stand — a claim, a repair, or nothing to worry about.

    — Why homeowners choose Buckshot

    The person who scopes your roof is the person who fixes it.

    Most roofing companies are middlemen who hand your roof to a sub at 6am. We’re not. Three generations of the same family, and every crew member is an InterNACHI-certified inspector who has read the same code book as the inspector who signs off.

    GAF Master Elite · Top 2%

    Only the top 2% of roofers nationwide qualify. It’s the only way to issue the Gold Pledge — a 50-year non-prorated workmanship warranty backed directly by GAF.

    FORTIFIED · 1 of 4 in WI

    An IBHS third-party standard: sealed roof deck, ring-shank fasteners, enhanced edge nailing. Meaningfully better wind and water performance — and many insurers offer a premium credit.

    ★ Homeowner favorite

    Insurance handled in-house

    The same carriers we scope for send us their policyholders. We document every facet, handle adjuster supplements, and on a covered claim you pay only your deductible.

    2–3× the liability coverage

    We carry two to three times the liability most program contractors carry, and we’re rated A to A+ in 10+ BBB regions across the country.

    ★ Homeowner favorite

    Most installs in one day

    Tear-off, deck, ice-and-water, ventilation, shingles and a magnetic nail sweep — most residential roofs are done by sundown.

    Balanced ventilation, standard

    Imbalanced attic ventilation kills shingles in seven years instead of fifty. We size intake to exhaust and measure twice — on every BGC roof.

    ● Storm crews available today

    Think the last storm touched your roof?

    From Rock County hail to wind off Lake Michigan, Wisconsin storm damage is invisible from the driveway and obvious from the ladder. We photograph every facet and tell you straight. On a covered claim, you pay only your deductible.

    Our promise

    Four reasons the first call is risk-free.

    Free 20-minute inspection

    A crew chief on the roof with a drone — no cost, no sales pressure, no obligation to hire us.

    You keep the report

    A written, photo-documented report is yours to keep — whether or not you ever hire Buckshot.

    Deductible-only on claims

    On a covered storm claim you pay only your deductible. We document every facet and handle the adjuster.

    50-year Gold Pledge

    Backed directly by GAF — a non-prorated workmanship warranty only Master Elite contractors can issue.

    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.

    — Frequently asked

    Honest answers to the real questions.

    Anywhere in our Wisconsin service area, emergencies get a 24/7 answer, and we can tarp or stabilize a roof within hours. Most full residential roof replacements are scheduled within one to three weeks and finished in a single day.

    If a covered storm damaged your roof, you typically pay only your deductible. We document every facet for your carrier and handle the adjuster supplements in-house. Start with a free inspection.

    FORTIFIED is a third-party IBHS standard — sealed roof deck, ring-shank fasteners and enhanced edge nailing — for measurably better wind and water performance. Many insurers give a premium credit. We’re 1 of 4 FORTIFIED providers in Wisconsin.

    Both. As a GAF Master Elite contractor we issue the Gold Pledge: a 50-year non-prorated workmanship warranty plus lifetime limited material coverage, backed directly by GAF — not just by us.

    Architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, synthetic slate & shake, natural cedar shake, and tile — matched to your home, budget and HOA.

    A crew chief does a drone and ladder inspection, hit-tests for hail, and audits vents and flashing, then delivers a written report within 48 hours: a claim, a repair, or nothing to worry about. It costs nothing and you keep the report.
