Hiring a roofer can be a tricky process, especially when you’re in a bind. While affordable roofing services are often highly preferred, you have to be wary and manage your expectations with regards to quality. However, opting for a well-established business could also mean paying more.

Anytime someone knocks on your door to sell you something it’s best to be cautious and even more so in the case of your roof. While there are many legitimate, licensed, local contractors offering roof repair and replacements following hail storms, there are some that are not to be trusted. Protect yourself by asking the following:

Are they a licensed member of Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?

Texas does not require roofing contractors to be licensed but the RCAT allows contractors to self-regulate by becoming licensed through the association.

Where is their physical address and how long have they been at that location?

If they recently moved into that location, what was their previous address? In the roofing industry, there are contractors known as ‘stormers.’ They follow hail storms around the country, set up shop in a rented office front, work for a few weeks and then take off to chase the next storm. You want to be sure the person you choose to work with is truly local and will be around months later should any issues arise.

What insurance do they carry?

You’ll want to find out if they are insured for umbrella, workers compensation, and general liability. Roofing can be dangerous, and an insured contractor protects you in case there is an accident.

Are they certified to install a manufacturer’s product and offer a warranty?

Shingle manufacturers will recognize contractors as certified to install their system after they meet certain requirements as a business and in experience and training. Remember, your roof is made up of a system of products (underlayment, vents, pipe collars, etc.) that protect your home – it’s not just the shingle that matters.

Will they offer a workmanship warranty or guarantee?

Many roofing system warranties only protect against manufacturer’s defects. If there is a problem due to poor workmanship you could be left hanging.

Help us provide Thanksgiving dinner to families who need help.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, we wanted to share a little bit about why we believe it’s so important for us to give back to those in need in our community. Our families have been blessed to be able to run a successful roofing business that continues to grow. We’ve always been happy to be involved in the Community Restore program, donating our time and workmanship to those in need. We think it’s time to do more.

We are now in our fifth year of business and as we celebrate our ‘5th Year of Roofing Excellence,’ we realize we wouldn’t be where we are today without the trust and support of our local community. The folks in the greater Austin and Georgetown, Texas markets have believed in our business and our people, allowing us to install new roofs and repair existing ones.
Family is very important to us and there is no better time of year to build memories of time spent with our families than the holidays. We envision a table filled with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and all the fixings of a nice holiday meal. But there are people right in our very own community who struggle every day to put a meal on the table and just don’t have the means to prepare a large Thanksgiving meal for their family.
That’s why this year, to celebrate our fifth year in business and to give back to the community we are adopting 5 families and will deliver all the ingredients they need to make their Thanksgiving a family-filled, special holiday with many memories created.
We are asking for your help to let us know who out there needs help. Please visit our website and complete the nomination form. Five families will be selected on November 15, 2018 and we will contact them to make arrangements to deliver their holiday meal ingredients.

Our team pitched in to provide a complete new roof and other exterior repairs to a Georgetown, Texas homeowner through Community Restore.

Community Restore was founded in 2009 to organize youth and other volunteers to help homeowners in the Georgetown, Texas area who had a need for exterior repairs but didn’t have the ability either financially or physically to get the work done.  In 2010, Mike Pickel, our co-founder, became the director of the board for the organization and he organizes a project each summer. Volunteers range from 13 to 86 years old and have a strong heart to help.

The 2017 project included an entire roof replacement with new plywood decking, exterior repairs, painting and yard cleanup. When the work was completed, the home looked as good as new, and was in a condition to provide many more years of shelter for the homeowner.
One of the core values of our business is to give back to the community. By volunteering with Community Restore, we are able to use our skills to help repair and restore homes of those who can use a hand. It’s always a privilege to be able to help our neighbors.
