Find Pre-Screened Top-Rated Roofing Contractors. Free Service!

It never fails. Every time we have a hail-producing storm in the Round Rock area, we get flooded with leaflets and postcards from roofing contractors. Have hail damage? Need shingles replaced? Get a free quote. That sort of thing.

But did you know that many of roofers are not from Round Rock, Texas? In fact, some are not even from the state of Texas. You see, there’s a certain element within the roofing industry known as “storm chasers.” These are roofers who literally follow storms in order to get business, sometimes even crossing state lines.

That’s why most of them have magnetic signs on their trucks — they can swap out the sign to match the city or state they are in. After our last big storm, I saw a truck with a magnetic sign that said “Austin’s Roofing Experts,” even though the truck had Louisiana plates. So the next time one of these people knock on your door and claim to be a Round Rock roofing expert, you should say: “Where is your office located?”

How to Find a Round Rock Roofing Company

Of all the home-related services, roofing in particular is known for having a lot of sharks. That’s one of the many reasons I recommend using Service Magic to find Round Rock roofers (see the link provided above). When you use their online directory of roofing contractors, you benefit from the pre-screening process they have in place.

In order to be listed in the Service Magic directory, a Round Rock roofer must be licensed and insured in the state of their listing. So when you search for contractors in the Round Rock area, you’ll know they are licensed by the state of Texas.

You can also view customer ratings and comments, which is a huge help when choosing a roofer in your area. A lot of these companies will have customer testimonials on their own websites, but that doesn’t tell you very much. After all, they could have easily wrote those “customer” testimonials themselves. But when you see customer reviews and ratings on a third-party website, you know they are the real deal. Now that’s a smart way to find your next Round Rock roofing pro!
