• Has the wind, hail and hot weather taken a toll on your roof? If so, it’s probably time to contact an Austin roofer to get quotes on roofing repair. You can do it the “old-fashioned” way, by calling a bunch of total strangers on the phone. Or you can do it the quick and easy way, by using the link below.

    Did you know that many roofing contractors are not even licensed to work in Austin, or in Texas at large? It’s true. And if a roofer isn’t licensed to work in the state, you can bet he does not have the appropriate insurance either. This means several things:

    • You probably won’t be satisfied with the job.
    • You are liable for any injuries the roofer sustains on your property.
    • You may even be scammed by paying for a roofing job that doesn’t get done.

    But all of this risk can be avoided, or at least minimized, if you choose an Austin roofing company that has been pre-screened by a professional services organization like Service Magic. I’ve provided a link above that you can use to find pre-screened Austin roofers and get quotes from them at the same time. It saves you time, but it also helps to ensure the quality of the roofing service.

    Other Ways to Find Austin Roofing Companies

    You could also find an Austin, Texas roofer through the National Roofing Contractor Association (NRCA). Their website allows you to search for contractors by zip code. In order to be a member of the NRCA, an individual must go through a certain amount of training and education. This gives you an added degree of third-party validation, which will help you find a reliable and competent Austin roofing company.

    We also recommend doing a bit of “detective work” before you choose an Austin roofer to work on your home. Let’s say you’ve narrowed it down to three different companies, and you’ve obtained quotes from each company. This is a good time to do a bit of background research on each of the roofing companies, and the Internet makes this process fairly simple:

    • Do a Better Business Bureau search for the company’s name to check their rating.
    • Do a Google search for the company’s name to see what people have posted online about them.
    • Research theĀ  contractor’s name, not just the company. He may have operated under a different name in the past.
    • Check the roofer’s website for a list of testimonials / referrals. If you don’t find any, ask for them.

    I hope this information helps you find a roofing contractor in the Austin, Texas area. In closing, I’d like to offer some helpful links. Here’s a link to the roofer section of Service Magic (highly recommended):

    And here’s a partial list of companies and contractors in Austin. We are not endorsing any of these professionals. We are just listing them here for your convenience. All of these roofers claim to be fully licensed and insured, but you’ll still have to do your own research like we talked about above.

    • www.aceroofingtexas.com
    • www.capcoroofing.com
    • www.perryroofing.org
    • www.austinroofinginc.com

    Remember, not all roofing companies are created equal. Some Austin roofers are great at what they do, and they have the training and licensing to back this up. Other contractors are a disaster waiting to happen. The more research you do up front, the more likely you are to find a top-notch roof company in Austin, Texas. Good luck.
