Roof replacement in Wisconsin, since 1979.
Buckshot has replaced roofs in Madison and southern Wisconsin since 1979. Our GAF Master Elite crew strips yours to the bare decking and rebuilds it with ice-and-water barrier at the eaves, balanced soffit-to-ridge ventilation and Timberline HDZ shingles. The quote is free, financing is available, and we file the storm claim.

Six signs your roof needs replacing, not patching.
Two or more of these together usually mean a repair only delays the cost. A Buckshot inspector walks the roof, photographs each slope and tells you which one you are actually looking at.
Asphalt shingles in Dane County typically reach end of service life at 20 to 25 years, shortened by freeze-thaw cycling.
Once a shingle loses its thermal seal strip, wind lifts the tab and water tracks underneath to the deck.
Granules are the shingle’s UV armour. Bare asphalt shows as dark patches and ages fast once exposed.
Water stains on rafters, compressed insulation or pinholes of daylight point to a decking problem, not a shingle problem.
Circular bruises, granule loss at impact points and creased tabs after a storm are usually a covered insurance loss.
A dipping ridge line or decking that flexes underfoot is structural. Have it looked at before the next snow load.
Eight layers, installed to GAF specification.
A Buckshot roof replacement is a full tear-off, never an overlay. Each layer below goes on in the order GAF’s certified system requires, which is what keeps the roof eligible for GAF’s strongest coverage.
What a roof replacement actually costs to build.
Three variables move a Wisconsin roof quote more than anything else, and all three are measured on the roof rather than over the phone. That is why Buckshot writes a line-item estimate after an inspection instead of quoting a range.
Size and pitch
Counted in squaresRoof area is priced per square, which is 100 square feet. Anything steeper than a 6/12 pitch adds staging, fall protection and labour hours to the same square count.
Layers and decking
Exposed at tear-offOne layer comes off faster and cheaper than two or three. Soft or delaminated sheathing only shows once the old roof is gone, so it is quoted as a per-sheet allowance.
Roofline complexity
Valleys, dormers, skylightsEvery valley, dormer, chimney and skylight is hand-flashed. Two-storey elevations and tight lot access slow the crew and add to the labour line.
Every Buckshot estimate is free, written and itemised by line, so materials, labour and disposal are visible separately. Want a figure before an inspector visits?

GAF Designer
Slate and shake looksProfiles such as Camelot II and Grand Sequoia reproduce the depth of natural slate or cedar shake while installing as a modern laminate shingle.
Standing-seam metal
40 to 70 year serviceConcealed-fastener panels shed snow and ice instead of holding it, and stand up to the hail that moves through Dane, Rock and Green counties each spring.

Roof replacement questions, answered.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Wisconsin?
It depends on three things we measure on site: the size and pitch of your roof, how many old layers come off and whether the decking underneath is sound, and how complex the roofline is. That is why we will not quote a number over the phone. Your written estimate is free and line-item, and covered storm damage means you pay only your deductible. For a rough figure first, try our roof cost estimator.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Buckshot roof replacements are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two to three days.
Will insurance pay for my new roof?
If a covered storm damaged your roof, insurance typically pays for the replacement and you pay only your deductible. We document the damage, meet the adjuster, and handle the claim. See how claims work →
Do you offer financing?
Yes - financing is available through Service Finance Company on approved credit, so you can replace your roof now and pay over time from a low monthly payment.
What’s included in a Buckshot roof replacement?
Full tear-off to the deck, deck inspection and repair, ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, balanced attic ventilation, GAF architectural shingles, ridge cap, and a full magnetic-sweep cleanup.
What warranty comes with it?
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, Buckshot installs to GAF’s certified system, which makes your roof eligible for GAF’s strongest manufacturer-backed coverage.
