    Hit by a storm?

    Storm damage roof repair in Middleton.

    Storm damage roof repair in Middleton starts on the roof, not from the driveway. Hail bruises and wind-lifted shingles rarely show from the ground, so we photograph every facet and build the insurance claim from that evidence. On a covered storm you typically pay only your deductible.

    What goes into a Middleton storm claim

    • Every slope photographed. Field shingles, ridge, valleys, and the soft metals on vents, gutters and downspouts.
    • Hail hits circled and counted. Carriers want a hit count per test square, so we mark and record them before anything is filed.
    • Scope written to carrier format. The estimate goes over in the format your adjuster already works in, which removes a round of argument.
    • We meet the adjuster on the roof. Five carrier and TPA programs, and a project manager on the ladder rather than a salesperson on the phone.

    The paper that matters

    Warranty coverage on a Middleton roof.

    GAF Master Elite status lets us register the 50-year System Plus warranty on a Middleton roof, covering shingles and workmanship, non-prorated. A roof installed after a storm should outlast the next twenty of them, and the paperwork should say so. Most contractors can register only GAF standard 30-year prorated material coverage.

      BUILT TO TAKE A HIT

      Shingle and metal roofing options in Middleton.

      Two Middleton roofs can look identical from the curb and perform completely differently in a Dane County hailstorm. Architectural asphalt, Class 4 impact-rated asphalt and standing seam metal each handle hail differently. The system underneath decides how long any of them lasts.

      • Class 4 impact-rated shingles are tested to UL 2218, the top impact grade, and stand up to hail that bruises ordinary shingles.
      • GAF Timberline HDZ and UHDZ asphalt with LayerLock high-wind nailing, or standing seam metal roofing where a Middleton homeowner wants a longer-life panel.
      • Ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, and sealed flashing at every valley, chimney, and penetration.
      • Bare-deck inspection so any soft or storm-soaked sheathing is replaced, not papered over.

      Standard vs Class 4 impact-resistant shingles

      On an exposed Middleton lot, Class 4 shingles usually justify the upgrade. They resist hail impact far better, and some carriers offer a premium credit for installing them. The credit varies by carrier, so confirm it with yours. We price both options at the inspection.

      REPAIR OR REPLACE

      Roof repair or roof replacement in Middleton?

      Roughly 30 percent is the line on a Middleton roof. Below that, with the rest of the roof healthy, a focused roof repair costs less and holds. Past a third of the roof, or past the 18 to 22 years asphalt lasts in Dane County, replacement protects the home better and carries a claim more easily. You get that call in writing.
      Lean toward repairUnder 30%
      • A few damaged shingles on one slope
      • Roof is younger than about 15 years
      • One traceable leak at flashing, a valley or a pipe boot
      • Granules and shingle mat still intact across the rest of the roof
      • Decking below is dry and sound

      Hail and wind damage on a Middleton roof

      Bruised soft metals

      Dents in vents, gutters and downspouts are the clearest hail signature on a Middleton roof.

      Granules washing out

      Sandy grit in the gutters means the shingle mat is losing its protective surface.

      Creased or missing shingles

      Straight-line wind across Dane County snaps the seal strip, leaving shingles to flap, crease and tear.

      Interior water stains

      Rings on a ceiling or damp attic insulation mean the roof already leaks and repair cannot wait.

      Split flashing seals

      Cracked sealant at chimneys and valleys is the next leak in line on most older Middleton homes.

      Pitted or cracked siding

      Hail pits vinyl and steel siding too, and that damage usually belongs on the same Middleton claim.

      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!

      Q.01How do I know if the last storm damaged my roof?
      Most hail and wind damage hides from the ground. Look for dents on vents and gutters, grit in the downspouts, and creased or missing shingles. A free roof inspection in Middleton settles it, and the photos either start a claim or put your mind at ease.
      Q.02Will filing a storm claim cost me out of pocket?
      On most covered hail or wind claims, your only cost is your deductible. The rest is settled between us and your carrier. Coverage and amounts depend on your policy, so we document thoroughly and meet your adjuster on the roof to make sure the full scope is counted.
      Q.03Do you serve my part of Dane County?
      Yes. We cover Old Middleton, Pheasant Branch, Greenway Station and Stonefield, plus Madison, Cross Plains, Waunakee, Verona, Shorewood Hills and Maple Bluff. Our office sits in Madison and our crews work Dane County daily, so you get a local Middleton roofing contractor rather than an out-of-town storm crew.
      Q.04Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it here?
      In a hail-prone part of Dane County, often yes. Class 4 shingles carry the highest UL 2218 impact rating and hold up far better to hail, and some insurers offer a premium credit for them. The discount varies by carrier, so confirm it with yours. We will price both options at the inspection.
      Q.05What does GAF Master Elite mean for me?
      GAF reserves Master Elite for roughly the top 2% of contractors nationally, based on experience, licensing, insurance, and reputation. Practically, it is what lets us register the 50-year System Plus warranty covering both shingles and workmanship. You can verify any contractor's status on GAF's locator.
      Q.06How much does a roof cost in Middleton?
      A full replacement generally runs $8,500 to $18,000, with a typical 1,800 square foot home around $12,000 to $15,000 on GAF Timberline HDZ. On a covered storm claim your share is usually just the deductible. You get an itemized written estimate at the inspection, and roof financing at 0% is available through Service Finance Company.
      Q.07Should I repair or replace?
      Under about 30 percent functional damage on a roof that still has life, roof repair is the right move. At a third or more, or once the roof passes the 18 to 22 years asphalt lasts in Middleton, replacement protects the home better and carries a claim more easily. We put that call in writing.
      Q.08How fast can you get out after a storm?
      Our storm line is answered 24/7, and emergency roof repair in Middleton starts with tarping and documentation so an active leak does not become interior damage while the claim gets going. Call (608) 909-9109 and a real person will help you triage it.
      Q.09Do you do siding repair and replacement in Middleton?
      Yes. We install and repair vinyl, insulated vinyl, steel and James Hardie fiber cement siding across Middleton, plus seamless 5 and 6 inch gutters and guards. Hail that damages a roof usually damages walls too, so siding and roofing stay on one claim and one crew. Financing is available.
      Q.10How long does the actual install take?
      Most Middleton roof installations finish in a single day. We protect the landscaping, sweep the whole property with magnets for stray nails, and inspect the bare decking before the new system goes down, so the only trace left behind is the new roof.
