How to Choose a Roofing Company in Austin — Verify, Don't Trust.

1. Verify credentials with the organization that issued them. RCAT lists Zilker Roofing with Commercial & Residential Roofing License #03-0699; check the current listing yourself. 2. Request current proof of insurance and confirm the named company and dates. 3. Review BBB, Good Contractors List, or other profiles directly and read each organization’s criteria. 4. Confirm manufacturer program status with the manufacturer’s own directory. 5. Compare written estimates for materials, labor, scope, exclusions, payment terms, and warranty documents.

After a storm, read any inspection authorization or contract before signing and do not sign a blank form. Texas law prohibits a contractor from offering to waive, rebate, or absorb a property-policy deductible. A roofer who also performs repairs cannot act or advertise as the policyholder’s public insurance adjuster; the homeowner remains responsible for communicating with the insurer about the claim.

Zilker Roofing is not a licensed public adjuster. We do not file insurance claims on your behalf, negotiate with your insurance carrier, or speak to your insurer without your involvement. We provide documentation and support only. Zilker Roofing does not use Assignment of Benefits contracts. The homeowner remains the policyholder in control of their claim at all times. We never ask customers to sign over their insurance rights to us. We do not pay, waive, or absorb deductibles. We never suggest a replacement when a repair is the right call. What we do provide is the inspection, photographs, measurements, and a detailed written estimate you own, whichever roofer you ultimately choose.
