— When To Replace
SEC 01 / 07
A repair fixes one section of wall. Siding replacement makes sense when the material itself is failing across the house, and these are the signs Buckshot checks for at every estimate.
Vinyl siding typically lasts 20 to 25 years in a Wisconsin climate. Near the end of that range, repairs cost more than they return.
Cracks, splits and brittle panels on more than one wall mean the material is failing as a whole, and patching one section will not keep up.
Soft spots, warped panels or stains on interior walls point to water behind the siding. That is a house wrap failure, and replacement is how it gets fixed.
Gaps in old siding and worn house wrap let cold air in. New siding over a sealed weather barrier tightens the building envelope.
When hail or wind damages siding across the home, a full replacement is often covered by your insurance claim.
New color, new material and real curb appeal add resale value when you plan to sell in the next few years.
— What's Actually Included
SEC 02 / 07
Every Buckshot siding replacement covers four stages. The work between tear-off and new siding decides how long the new exterior lasts.

SEC 03 / 07
Budget, upkeep and how long you plan to stay decide the right material. Buckshot walks you through all three options at your estimate.
The value pick. Vinyl needs no painting and holds up to Wisconsin freeze-thaw swings.
Vinyl siding →
A real wood-grain look, treated against moisture and insects, and lighter than fiber cement.
Engineered wood siding →
The longest-lasting option. Fiber cement resists freeze-thaw cracking, hail impact and fire.

— The Timeline
SEC 04 / 07
Most Buckshot siding replacements finish in two to three days once materials arrive. Here is how the project runs from estimate to walkthrough.
01
We measure the walls, inspect the siding and sheathing, and give you written pricing for each material.
02
You pick material and color. We order, schedule and handle the insurance side when it is a claim.
03
The old siding comes off, and damaged sheathing and house wrap are repaired or replaced.
04
New siding goes on to spec, the site is cleaned, and we walk the finished home with you.
— Why Buckshot
SEC 05 / 07
New siding lasts as long as the work behind it. Buckshot protects that investment with three commitments on every replacement.
A weather-resistive barrier goes on before any panel, so water never reaches the sheathing.
When a storm caused the damage, we document it and work your claim the same way we do for roofs, and you pay your deductible. Storm damage →
Financing is available for qualified projects, so you can replace failing siding now and pay over time. Financing →

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!Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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!Posted on Google![]()
