Residential Roofing Contractor for Wisconsin Homes

One crew handles the whole roof, from the first inspection to the final walkthrough, anywhere in Wisconsin. Snow load, ice dams, spring hail and freeze-thaw all shorten roof life here, so we build for all four rather than the mildest of them. Employees rather than subcontractors, under WI license DC-080900045.

    — Why Wisconsin homeowners choose Buckshot

    Why hire a residential roofing contractor with its own crews.

    Buckshot keeps the work in house rather than brokering it out. The crew that scopes your roof is the crew that installs it, backed by three generations of one family. Every crew member holds InterNACHI certification, so they know the code your roof gets signed off against.

    GAF Master Elite · top 2% of US roofers

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

    FORTIFIED · one of four in Wisconsin

    A third-party IBHS standard covering 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 carriers we scope for send us their policyholders. We photograph 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 cover most program contractors carry, and we’re rated A to A+ in 10+ BBB regions across the country.

    ★ Homeowner favorite

    Most replacements finish 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

    Unbalanced attic ventilation ends shingle life in seven years instead of fifty. We size intake to exhaust and measure twice, on every BGC roof.

    ● Storm crews out today

    Did the last storm reach your roof?

    Rock County hail and wind off Lake Michigan, Wisconsin storm damage is invisible from the driveway and obvious from the ladder. We photograph every facet and give you the verdict straight. On a covered claim you pay the deductible and nothing more.

    Our promise

    What a free roof inspection covers.

    Free 20-minute inspection

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

    You keep the report

    Deductible-only on claims

    On a covered storm claim your share is the deductible. We photograph every facet and meet the adjuster on the roof.

    50-year Gold Pledge

    Backed directly by GAF, 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!

    — Frequently asked

    Residential roofing questions, answered.

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

    On a covered storm claim you typically pay only your deductible. We photograph every facet for your carrier and handle the adjuster supplements in-house. Start with a free inspection.

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

    Both, and that is the point. 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.

    A crew chief runs a drone and ladder inspection, hit-tests for hail, 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 the written report is yours to keep.

    We document hail and wind damage for your insurer.
    Roof inspection
    Twenty minutes on the roof, and the written report is yours.
    Roof maintenance
    Annual checks catch small failures before winter.
    Roof decking
    Rotted sheathing shows up at tear-off and gets replaced.

    Skylights
    Skylights get reflashed during a roof replacement.
    Ice dam removal
    Steam clears the dam, then ventilation stops it returning.
    Flat and low-slope roofing
    Shingles cannot drain a low slope, so porches get membrane.
