Texas isn't called the Lone Star State for nothing – it stands alone in its extreme weather conditions. From scorching summers and hailstorms to tornadoes and hurricane threats, our roofs face a unique set of challenges. That's why it's no surprise that roofing companies seem to outnumber the stars in our vast Texas sky.

But with so many options, how do you find a roofing company that's trustworthy, experienced, and won't leave you high and dry (or with a leaky roof) after a storm? The answer lies in understanding Texas's roofing landscape and knowing how to spot the signs of a reputable roofer, especially online.

Why So Many Roofers?

Climate:

Texas's harsh climate necessitates frequent repairs and replacements. Hail damage alone costs Texans billions annually!

Growth:

Texas's booming population leads to more construction, fueling the demand for roofing services, repairs and roof renovations.

Insurance:

Insurance claims for roof damage are common, attracting contractors from all over, since no license is required by State of Texas.

How To Spot Fly By Night Roofers

Slick Website, Shady Practices: Beware of websites that are all flash and no substance. A reputable roofer will have a professional site with detailed information about their services, experience, and licensing.

Things to watch for: High-Pressure Sales: If a roofer pushes you to sign a contract on the spot or demands a large upfront payment, it's a major red flag. Legitimate companies offer free inspections and estimates with no obligation

Missing Credentials: Always verify a roofer's license, insurance, and certifications. You can usually find this information on their website or by asking directly.

Lack of Local Presence: Fly-by-night roofers often lack a physical address or local phone number.They might be based out of state and disappear after a storm.

Too-Good-to-Be-True Deals: Be wary of lowball estimates. Reputable roofers use quality materials and won't cut corners to offer the lowest price.
