Your roof takes a beating from Texas sun, hail, and 70-mph winds. When it’s time for repair or replacement, choosing the wrong roofing service can cost you thousands and years of headaches. Here’s your no-BS guide to picking the company that actually deserves to climb on your house.

Why Most Homeowners Choose the Wrong Roofing Service (and How to Avoid Their Mistakes)

People usually pick based on the lowest price or whoever knocks first after a storm. Both choices almost always end badly.

Price-Shopping Trap
The cheapest bid almost always cuts corners on materials, crew experience, or insurance. You’ll pay for it later with leaks, voided warranties, and premature failure.

Storm-Chaser Nightmare
Out-of-town crews flood Texas after every hailstorm, collect big deposits, then disappear when callbacks start rolling in six months later.

Word-of-Mouth Reality Check
 Even your neighbor’s “great guy” can turn into a disaster if he’s uninsured, unlicensed subcontractors. Always verify yourself.

Must-Have Credentials Every Legitimate Roofing Service Should Have

Don’t trust a slick website or a handshake. Demand proof of these three things.

Proper Insurance (No Exceptions)
 They must carry at least $1 million general liability and full workers’ compensation. Ask for the certificate and call the carrier to confirm it’s active.

Local Business License and Tax ID
 Verify they’re registered with the Texas Secretary of State and have a physical local address (not a P.O. box or storage unit).

Manufacturer Certifications
 GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, or Owens Corning Platinum status means the roofing service has passed rigorous training and insurance requirements.

Questions That Separate Real Roofers from Pretenders

Ask these on the phone or during the estimate. Good companies answer fast and in detail.

Who exactly will be on my roof?
Best answer: “Our own full-time W-2 employees.” Run from anyone who says “my subs” or “I hire day labor.”

How many roofs like mine have you done in the last 12 months? Look for at least 50–100 similar jobs locally. Experience with Texas heat, hail ratings, and code requirements matters.

Will you pull permits and schedule inspections?
If they say “we don’t bother with permits on repairs,” hang up. It voids insurance claims and your homeowner’s policy.

How TexUs Insulation Approaches Roofing Differently

We started as Texas’s most trusted insulation company, so we see roofs from the attic side first. That changes everything.

We Spot Hidden Damage Others Miss
Because we understand roof insulation, ventilation, and deck rot, we catch issues like improper flashing, missing ice & water shield, and condensation problems before they become leaks.

Same Crews, Same Standards
The same background-checked, full-time teams that install our spray foam and blown-in roof insulation also handle roofing projects — with the same obsessive cleanup and quality control.

No Games, No Pressure
You get one fair price in writing, full material samples, and warranty details upfront. We never “find extra damage” after tear-off to jack up the bill.

The Step-by-Step Process You Deserve from a Roofing Service

Here’s exactly what should happen from first call to final nail.

Detailed Inspection with Photos & Drone Footage
No guessing — you see every cracked shingle, rusted flashing, and soft deck spot.

Itemized Written Proposal
Valid for 30–60 days, no vague “allowances” or surprise change orders.

Professional Tear-Off and Daily Cleanup
Tarps, magnetic sweeps for nails, and your yard left cleaner than we found it.

Final Walkthrough & Warranty Registration
 We register all manufacturer warranties for you and schedule a free 1-year follow-up inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selecting a Roofing Service

How do I know if a roofing service is legitimate?
 Check active insurance, local address, manufacturer certifications, and recent Google/BBB reviews. If they won’t show certificates, walk away.

Should I get multiple bids?
Yes three is perfect. But compare apples to apples: same shingle brand, same warranty, same scope of work.

What if my roof just has a small leak?
Even small repairs should be done by a fully insured pro. DIY or handyman fixes often make the problem worse.

Will a new roof lower my energy bills?
Absolutely — especially when paired with proper roof insulation and ventilation. Many of our customers save $400–$900 per year.

How long should a roof replacement take?
Most homes are finished in 1–3 days. We’ll never leave your house exposed overnight.

Do you work with insurance claims?
 Yes  we handle everything from inspection to supplement filing at no extra cost.

What happens to my old roof?
 We recycle asphalt shingles when possible and always haul everything away. Your yard will look untouched when we’re done.
