Siding services for WI & IA homeowners.
We don't do one type of siding and try to sell it to everyone. Different homes, different climates, different budgets, the right product depends on your situation.
Vinyl Siding Installation
The most common choice for Wisconsin homes, and for good reason: durable, no painting, and it handles temperature swings well with proper expansion gaps. Profiles from double 4-inch to board-and-batten and Dutch lap, in dozens of colors.
The detail that separates good from bad: the house wrap underneath. We install a proper moisture barrier before any panel goes on. Skip it and water gets into the sheathing within two or three winters.
Fiber Cement Siding
Costs more than vinyl up front, but in Wisconsin's climate it often makes more sense long-term. It doesn't crack in freeze-thaw, holds paint 15-plus years, and is impact-resistant, hail that dents vinyl typically doesn't penetrate fiber cement.
It's also fire-resistant and doesn't attract woodpeckers. If you've replaced storm-damaged siding twice, fiber cement is worth the conversation.
Siding Repair
Not every problem needs a whole-house replacement. Missing panels from a windstorm, cracked sections from hail, warped panels near a dryer vent, these get repaired.
We match existing siding where possible and are honest when a repair will look patched versus when it can be done cleanly.
Siding Replacement
When siding reaches the end of its life, typically 20 to 25 years for vinyl here, full replacement is the right call. We remove the old siding, inspect and replace any damaged sheathing and moisture barrier, and install new.
Most full siding replacements are completed in two to three days.
Storm & Hail Damage
Hail that damages your roof almost always damages your siding too. Dented, cracked, or punctured panels are covered under most homeowner's policies, but only if the claim is properly documented.
Same process we use for roofing: you pay your deductible, we handle the rest.

"Siding done in 2 and a half days, great work."
Which makes more sense for your WI home?
The question we get most from Wisconsin homeowners replacing siding for the first time. Here's an honest breakdown.
| Factor | Vinyl Siding | Fiber Cement |
|---|---|---|
| Installed cost | $7 to $12 per sq ft | $10 to $18 per sq ft |
| Lifespan in Wisconsin | 20 to 25 years | 30 to 50 years |
| Hail resistance | Dents at ½" hail, cracks at 1" | Impact resistant, holds up to most hail |
| Freeze-thaw performance | Can crack if struck in extreme cold | Does not crack in freeze-thaw cycles |
| Painting required | No, color is in the material | Yes, holds paint 15+ years |
| Fire resistance | Not rated | Fire resistant |
| Best for | Most standard residential budgets in Dane and Milwaukee County | Long-term owners, repeated hail exposure, higher-end homes |
For most standard budgets, vinyl is the practical choice. For homeowners who've had repeated hail damage or want the lowest lifetime maintenance cost, fiber cement makes the difference. We'll walk you through both during your free estimate, no pressure either way.
Gutter services, custom-fabricated.
Gutters don't get attention until they fail, and a failing gutter rots fascia, floods foundations, and sends water behind the siding. We include a gutter assessment with every siding inspection.
Seamless Gutter Installation
Fabricated on-site in K-style and half-round, so the only joints are at corners and downspouts, fewer places for leaks. We match color to your trim or siding, offer copper, and aim downspouts at least 6 feet from the foundation.
Gutter Guard Installation
In neighborhoods with large canopy trees, common across older Madison areas like Willy Street, Marquette, and Nakoma, guards turn cleaning twice a year into almost never. We install micro-mesh and reverse-curve guards.
Gutter Repair
Sagging sections, separated joints, gutters pitched the wrong way, these are fixable without replacing the whole system. We re-hang, re-pitch, and re-seal across WI and IA, and replace a run when it's too corroded to hold.
Financing Available
A full gutter replacement or a combined siding-and-gutter project can be a significant expense. Financing is available for qualified projects, ask about current terms when you call.

Honest numbers. No range games.
Real ranges based on actual Wisconsin jobs, not the "$5,000 to $50,000, it depends" answer that wastes your time. On-site estimates are free and specific to your home.
Storm damage? If hail or wind damaged your siding, most Wisconsin policies cover full replacement cost minus your deductible. RCV policies pay full replacement value; ACV policies depreciate based on siding age. We walk you through your specific coverage during the free inspection.
Our own crewsThree things that actually differentiate us.
Three things separate Buckshot from most siding contractors in this market, practically, not in marketing language. We've run on word of mouth across Wisconsin and Iowa since 1979.
- Licensed and verifiable, WI Lic. DC-080900045, full liability insurance
- We handle the insurance claim, inspection to check
- Financing for qualified projects
The difference, in plain terms.
Licensed & Verifiable
WI Contractor License DC-080900045 and full liability insurance. Verify any contractor through the Wisconsin DSPS before signing. Ours is always current.
Insurance Claims, Handled
Hail damages siding and roof together. We document both, attend the adjuster meeting, and advocate for a complete scope. You pay your deductible. We handle the paperwork.
Financing
Not every homeowner has $10,000 to $20,000 on hand. We offer financing so you can replace siding now. Ask about terms, or apply online through our lending partner.
