Roofave
About us

Nobody enjoys ringing a roofer

We have been putting roofs on Central Texas homes since 1998. The trade has changed a lot in that time. One thing has not: nobody enjoys ringing a roofer.

  1. 1998

    Two people and a truck

    Started on repairs the bigger outfits would not take, working off a phone number passed between neighbours.

  2. 2006

    The first full crew

    Four roofers, two vans, and the first jobs big enough to need a skip on the drive rather than a tarp.

  3. 2014

    Prices went on the website

    The idea nobody in the trade liked. It cost us negotiating room and won us the customers who had already been quoted twice.

  4. 2020

    Storm work, at scale

    A bad hail season taught us to schedule around insurance adjusters instead of waiting on them.

  5. 2025

    The estimator

    The same rates our own estimators use, put on the site so a homeowner can get a range before anyone knocks.

Our mission

To protect what matters most

A roof is the only part of a house whose job is to be ignored. Ours is to put one up that earns being forgotten about, and to be straight with you about what that costs before you have committed to anything.

Roofave started as two people and a truck, doing the repairs the bigger outfits could not be bothered with. The work came from neighbours telling neighbours, which is still where most of it comes from.

What we kept hearing was not about workmanship. It was about the process — the sales visit before anyone would name a figure, the quote that arrived three days later, the feeling of being sold to in your own kitchen.

Our vision

To be the roofer people recommend without being asked

Most of our work still arrives the way the first job did, from somebody telling a neighbour. That is the only growth number we actually watch.

So we did the obvious thing and put the prices on the website. The estimator on this site uses the same rates our own estimators do, and it will give you a range before we know your name.

It costs us some negotiating room. It has also meant that by the time we do meet somebody, they already know roughly what the job costs, and we can spend the visit talking about the roof instead of about money.

Our values

The things we will not budge on

  • Say the number first

    Every quote we give is itemised, and the estimator gives you most of it before we ever speak.

  • Fix what is wrong

    Not what is easiest to sell. If a repair will do, we will tell you a repair will do.

  • Show the evidence

    Photographs of anything we flag, before and after. You should not have to take our word for what is on your roof.

  • Leave it clean

    Magnet sweep, skip gone the same day, gutters cleared. It is the part people mention most.

  • Turn up when we said

    A morning slot means a morning slot. If the weather moves us, you hear it from us first.

  • One crew, start to finish

    The people who quote your roof are the people who strip it. Nothing is handed to a sub you never met.

  • Answer the phone after

    The warranty is only worth what the callback is worth, and the callback is the part most outfits get wrong.

Credentials

Paperwork you can ask for

Any roofer worth hiring will hand these over without being asked. If one hesitates, that is your answer.

  • Licensed and insured

    Full liability and workers’ compensation cover, certificates on request.

  • Manufacturer certified

    Certified installers for the systems we fit, which is what makes a manufacturer warranty enforceable.

  • Since 1998

    Working the same metros for over two decades, mostly on referrals from people we have already roofed.

Careers

Join the crew, climb higher

If you can hang a roof properly and turn up when you said you would, we would rather hear from you than from an agency. Tell us what you have worked on.

No awards have been won. This section is a structural placeholder. Claiming an accolade a business has not received is a false advertising claim, so it takes real entries or it comes out.
