    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!

    Repair or replaceThe honest answer

    Not sure what you need? Repair or replace?

    We use the 30 percent rule. If storm damage covers less than about 30 percent of the roof, a repair usually wins. More than that, replacement is the smarter money.

    What we find on your Windsor roofWhat we usually recommend
    Damage on one slope or just a few shinglesTargeted repair
    An isolated leak traced to flashing, a pipe boot, or a valleyTargeted repair
    Roof under roughly 15 years, decking dry and solid, no widespread granule lossTargeted repair
    Hail or wind damage spread across multiple slopesFull replacement
    Roof at 18 to 22+ years, the real Wisconsin asphalt lifespanFull replacement
    Repeat leaks, or soft, rotted decking found on inspectionFull replacement

    Not sure where your roof lands? At your free Windsor inspection we tell you which one it needs, in writing, with photos to back it up. No pressure either way.

    Warning signsSix to watch

    Six signs your Windsor roof needs a look

    Granules in guttersSandy buildup means the protective layer is wearing off the shingles.
    Denting on soft metalsBruised vents, gutters or downspouts are the clearest fingerprint of hail.
    Lifted or missing shinglesWind breaks the seal strip, so shingles flap, crack or blow off.
    Ceiling or attic stainsBrown rings or damp insulation mean water is already getting past.
    Cracked flashing caulkDried sealant at chimneys and valleys is a leak waiting to happen.
    Sagging soffit or fasciaSoft, bowing edges signal trapped moisture and a ventilation problem.

    FAQWindsor roofing

    Common questions, Windsor roofing answered

    Still have questions? Talk to a real Windsor-area project manager. No call centers.

    Call (608) 909-9109
    Q.01 Do you serve my Windsor neighborhood?

    Yes. We cover all of Windsor, including Lake Windsor, Morrisonville, Token Creek and the newer subdivisions off Windsor Road, plus DeForest, Sun Prairie and Waunakee. We are about 15 minutes away in Madison.

    Q.02 How much does a roof replacement cost in Windsor?

    Most Windsor replacements run between $8,500 and $18,000, with a typical 1,800 square foot home around $12,000 to $15,000. The exact number depends on size, pitch, layers and decking. You get an itemized written estimate after a free inspection, and 0% financing is available on approved credit. Ranges here are typical rather than a quote, and only your written estimate is binding.

    Q.03 What does GAF Master Elite actually mean?

    GAF awards Master Elite to roughly the top 2% of US roofers and re-checks our licensing, insurance and workmanship every year. It is the only way to register the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, and we go through what that warranty covers and excludes with you before you sign.

    Q.04 How do I know if my roof has hail or storm damage?

    Look for granules in the gutters, dented vents and flashing, and lifted or missing shingles after a storm. Dane County leads Wisconsin for hail, so damage is common and easy to miss from the ground. A free inspection with photos tells you for certain.

    Q.05 Will my homeowners insurance cover storm damage?

    Most Wisconsin homeowner policies cover sudden hail and wind damage. We document the damage, help you file, meet your adjuster on the roof, and complete the work so you typically pay only your deductible on a covered claim. Coverage is decided by your carrier and your policy, so we never promise a claim outcome.

    Q.06 What is the difference between ACV and RCV on my claim?

    ACV, actual cash value, is the depreciated value of your roof and is usually the first check. RCV, replacement cost value, is the full replacement cost, and the recoverable depreciation is often released in a second check once the work is done.

    Q.07 Should I repair or replace my roof?

    Use the 30 percent rule. If damage is localized and the roof is under 15 years old, repair usually wins. If damage spans multiple slopes, the roof is 18 to 22+ years old, or leaks keep coming back, replacement is smarter and resets the warranty.

    Q.08 How long does a roof take, and do you make a mess?

    Most Windsor homes are torn off and replaced in a single day. We protect the landscaping and finish with a magnetic nail sweep, so there is nothing left in the yard.

    Q.09 Asphalt or metal, which is better for a Windsor home?

    Architectural asphalt is lower cost and right for most Windsor homes, lasting about 18 to 22 years here. Standing seam metal costs more but lasts 40 to 50 years and sheds snow well. We help you choose based on your home and how long you plan to stay.

    Q.10 Do you do more than roofs?

    Yes. We are a full exterior contractor: roofing, siding, seamless gutters and attic ventilation, all handled by our own crews under one contract and one project manager.
