Whether your roof has reached the end of its normal life cycle, you've just weathered a bad storm, or you're looking to start a larger remodeling project and want to get the roof done on the same loan, Austin Roofing & Construction should be your first choice when you search for "contractors near me."
We have extensive expertise in every type of roofing material and in building roofs of every size and condition. We know just what you need to get the job done right and on time. When you choose a roofing company, you want to know there are good reasons to pick that company. At Austin Roofing & Construction, we can think of at least ten great reasons to get a new roof with us.
1. We Know Our Roofs
Some roofers specialize in just one type of roof, be it shingles, metal roofs, or flat commercial roofs. When you ask them for a recommendation for your roofing needs, they're always going to recommend the roofing style they know because that's all they know. We don't want to be a one-trick pony. We've taken the time to learn about the benefits and limitations of every type of roof in every application, and we put that expertise to work for you as you decide on a roof for your project.
Some of our people have been in the roofing business for three generations, and our company has more than 27 years in the industry. Through continuing education, we keep up with the latest innovations in roofing materials while staying true to timeless best practices, so our roofs always deliver. When you contact Austin Roofing & Construction, you can always get a free appointment to talk through your needs and concerns. Even if you don't end up getting a roof with us, we're happy to give you professional advice so you can make the best decision about the right roof for your needs.
2. We Think Customer Service Trumps Profitability
Profits aren't first with us: customer service is. We know that if you're happy, we'll be happy, and our business will succeed. Offering world-class customer service is one of our key values, and that means you can expect some important things from us that you might not get from other roofers.
A Personal Touch
You won't get passed from person to person or blown off if a bigger project comes along. We write to our customers after every project and ask for feedback, and we pay attention to what we hear. We're always available when you have a problem or question.
Respect
You aren't just a job to us, and your roof isn't just a project number or a dollar amount. To us, respect is pretty simple. It means listening and doing exactly what we say we'll do, from telling you the truth about the project at every step to staying on time and on budget.
3. We Put Safety First
We care about the safety of your new roof, the safety of our crew, and even the safety of the community. That's why we are fully insured. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance so that if any part of our work isn't done right, you're fully protected. We also carry worker's compensation so that everyone who works for us is covered, and you're protected from any accidents that might happen while we're on your property. We even carry some seriously extensive auto insurance so our drivers, and everyone on the roads of Austin, are protected.
4. We Can Do It All
Why should you pay one company to put on a roof and another company to do the gutters, fix storm damage, or build you a new deck? Any residential project you have that includes a roofing project, we can take care of. We can handle bathroom renovations, kitchen remodels, or anything else you can think of.
Most people get financing to cover a big remodel, so it only makes sense to combine as many items as possible onto one loan. We can even help you get the financing you need through LightStream, a part of SunTrust Bank. For well-qualified borrowers, you can expect the most competitive rates possible; and even for those with low qualifications, we can usually find a way to get you approved.
5. We Offer Great Warranties
We stand by all our work. Whether you're getting a residential or non-residential roof, we can offer guarantees of up to 50 years for your roof. We use only the best, proven materials so we can be certain of what we're promising. We also have 25-year shingles, 20-year snap lock metal roofs, and plenty of other options. We also warranty our labor for five to 10 years, depending on the material you choose. You won't find better warranties on workmanship anywhere in the business.
6. We Care About the Community
You live and do business in Austin, and when you hunt for “contractors near me,” you should be led to roofers who are part of that same community. With an invested local company, if anything goes wrong, you know right where to go to get it made right.
Our non-profit arm, Roofing Austin Weird, has been spending 1% of our profits on donated roofs, labor, and accessories since 2015. In 2019, we built 11 free roofs for Community First! Village. We want to be part of helping everyone in Austin find success and security for themselves and their families.
7. We Have Licensing Your Can Trust
Texas does not require roofing contractors to have a license, which opens the door for scammers to come into the community and take advantage of people in tough positions. Whenever there's a storm, you can see these “ambulance chaser” roofers advertising their services at cut-rate prices that are too good to be true.
Often, the money you pay them upfront for supplies is already spent, and without ties to the local community, these scammers will be on their way to the next town with your roofing project only half done. Even worse, some of them may be just waiting for an accident to happen on your property so they can sue you and get a claim from your homeowner's insurance.
8. We Offer Free Estimates - No Obligation or Hard Sell Tactics
You should know what you're getting into right from the beginning of your project. Shady roofing companies won't give you an estimate without getting cash for it, or they qualify everything they say and promise so they can jack the price up later. That's never what we do.
We'll come take a look at your project, give you an estimate, and help you understand exactly what goes into that estimate. We'll walk you through every aspect, and we never twist your arm or try to force you to choose us. If we give you an estimate, you can trust that's what it's going to cost.
9. We're Certified on the Best Roofing Materials
We're certified on Owens Corning, Master Shingle residential products, and are also GAF Certified Weather Stopper Roofing Contractors. We're certified to use Duro-Last and Mule-Hide products, and we have GAF Commercial roof certification, as well. We don't cut corners, and we pride ourselves on being at the cutting-edge of the roofing industry.
10. We're Absolutely Thorough
Forget those horror stories you've heard of roofers leaving your old roof lying around the yard after they disappear or trashing your landscaping and then heading off to the next job to leave you to clean it all up. We take pride in our work, and that means taking the time to correctly diagnose your problem, doing the work right, and then taking those extra moments to double-check our work and clean up afterward. Then we always follow up with you through hand-written communication, not impersonal bot-generated surveys, to make sure you're satisfied.
