Signs it's time to replace, not repair.

A repair is often enough, but past a certain point, patching just delays the inevitable. These are the signs a full replacement is the smarter call.

✓

Age (20+ years)

Most asphalt roofs last around 20 to 25 years. Past that, materials get brittle and failures multiply. Age alone is often reason enough to plan ahead.

✓

Leaks in multiple spots

One leak is a repair. Several leaks, or recurring ones, usually mean the roof is failing system-wide, and chasing them gets expensive.

✓

Granules in the gutters

Finding shingle granules in your gutters means the protective surface is wearing off and the shingles are near the end of their life.

✓

Curling & missing shingles

Widespread curling, cracking, or missing shingles is the roof telling you it can't keep sealing out water much longer.

✓

Storm or hail damage

Significant storm or hail damage can warrant a full replacement, often covered by insurance. We document it for your claim.

✓

Sagging or daylight

A sagging roofline or daylight through the attic boards points to deeper structural issues, time to replace, not patch.

SEC 02 / 07

A new roof is a big decision. Do it once, do it right.

A replacement is one of the larger investments you'll make in your home, so the installer matters as much as the shingles. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, top 2%, we install complete systems built to last:

The full GAF system, not just shingles, installed to Master Elite spec.The strongest warranties, including options only Master Elite can offer.Our own crews, no subcontracting, so quality stays with us.Proper installation, the single biggest factor in how long a roof lasts.

A Complete System, Not Just Shingles

Built as a system, backed for the long haul.

A roof is more than what you see. We install the full assembly, and back it with warranties that match the quality of the work, with stronger options available through our Master Elite certification.

— Paying For It

SEC 04 / 07

Financing, insurance, or both.

A new roof is a real expense, but it doesn't have to be all at once or all out of pocket. We help you sort out how to pay for it:

Financing through Service Finance Company, LLC, subject to approval, to spread the cost.Insurance, if storm or hail damage caused it, we document the claim and work with any carrier.You pay your deductible, we handle the rest on covered storm claims.A clear, itemized estimate so you know exactly what you're paying for.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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!
