If you haven’t yet made the decision to use our services, we encourage you to conduct thorough research! Roofing contractors often receive a high volume of complaints according to the Better Business Bureau.

Sadly, scammers and unethical contractors often exploit homeowners after storms. Be aware that many contractors travel from state to state, leaving town without resolving any outstanding issues or providing warranties for their work. Here are some helpful tips:

– Have you heard of them before? That’s a good sign!
– Visit their website to verify their physical address. Many companies falsely claim to be “local” after a storm, but often they are not.
– Check their reviews thoroughly. Look for a substantial number of reviews, ensure some are recent, and assess both the positive and negative feedback to gauge authenticity.
– Are they dressed professionally and driving a company-branded truck? These are positive indicators.
– Are they a legit LLC or Corporation? You can typically confirm this information through your state’s website or just request their EIN number. If they fight back, RED FLAG!

The duration of the job will depend on its complexity. A straightforward roof replacement typically takes about one day, while a kitchen remodel might take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the scope of work and any customization involved. We will provide a more precise timeline after assessing the specific details of your project.

The decision depends on the condition of the gutters and the ability of roofers to work around them. Typically, if the gutters are in good condition, we can work around them. However, on steep roof systems, it may not be economically feasible to do so. It’s important to note that if the roof is damaged by hail, the gutters are likely affected as well, so it’s advisable to include both in a single insurance claim.

Great Question!

We have partnerships with many suppliers including but not limited to:

No, we will not cover your deductible. Roofing contractors who say they will cover the deductible are committing insurance fraud. We pride ourselves in being honest and fair with all our customers and therefore we do not compromise on our ethics. 

No, making a claim in Texas will not raise your insurance deductible. Deductibles typically remain the same regardless of claims made; however, your insurance premiums may increase after a claim. It’s always best to check your specific policy details for any variations. New roofs usually end up with lower premium when shopping around.

Absolutely! Please let us know the date and time when the insurance adjuster is scheduled to visit your home, and we will be there to meet with them.
