About
How we like to work.
- You see what we sawWe take photos up there and go through them with you. It's the only way to see work you were never going to climb up and check yourself.
- Everything in writing, firstWhat we found, what it needs, what it costs. If something changes the price, we talk about it before it lands on the invoice.
- Your claim stays yoursWe won't ask you to sign your claim over to us. We'll document the damage for your adjuster, and the claim stays in your name.
- Repair before replacePlenty of roofs have life left in them. When yours does, we'd rather say so than sell you a tear-off.
Service area
Where we work.
All of Texas. Homes and commercial buildings, on shingle, metal, tile and flat systems alike.
If you want to know whether we can get to you, call and ask. It's a short conversation.
The part that matters
How to vet a roofer in Texas.
Use this on us. Then use it on whoever else you're talking to. It's the same list either way.
None of it requires you to hire us. If this sends you to a different roofer who checks out, that's a good outcome. Every owner who knows what to ask makes it harder for the other kind to work here.
Know that there's no license to check
Texas does not license roofing contractors, so there's no license number to verify and no board to file with. Anyone can call themselves a roofer here tomorrow.
There is a voluntary program. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas runs an RCAT license requiring a couple of years in business, a fixed Texas address, proof of insurance and passed exams. Ask whether a contractor holds it, and understand that not holding it isn't disqualifying on its own.
Get the certificate of insurance, and read it
You want general liability and workers' compensation. Without workers' comp, a roofer who falls on your property can become your problem. Check the dates are current, and don't accept "we're covered, don't worry about it."
Waiving your deductible is illegal
It gets framed as a favor. "We'll eat the deductible, the roof won't cost you anything." In Texas that's against the law, and it's usually paid for by inflating the claim or cutting the work. A contractor willing to break that law during the sales pitch is showing you how the rest of the job will go.
Never sign an assignment of benefits
An AOB hands your insurance claim to the contractor. They deal with your insurer, they control the money, and you have very little say if the work goes badly. You are never required to sign one.
Be careful with the knock at the door
After every major hailstorm, out-of-state crews work Texas neighborhoods. Some are fine. Many are not. The Texas Attorney General's consumer protection division has documented the pattern repeatedly: inflated damage reports, cheaper materials than were billed, and companies that collect the insurance money and disappear before the work is finished.
The tell is usually urgency. If someone needs a signature today, that urgency is for their benefit and not yours.
Get it in writing, and get a second opinion
A real estimate names the materials, the scope, the timeline and the price. If a roof genuinely needs replacing today, it will still need replacing on Thursday. Any contractor uncomfortable with you getting a second opinion has told you something useful.
Ask who's going to be on your roof
In a lot of companies the person who sells the job and the crew who install it have never met. That's not automatically bad, but you should know which arrangement you're buying, and who to call when something isn't right.
