What Zilker Roofing Does Not Do

These aren't fine print — they're firm commitments about what we won't do, kept the same everywhere we publish and independently verifiable.

Our Commitment

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.

Our Commitment

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.

Our Commitment

Zilker Roofing does not recommend a full roof replacement when a targeted repair is the right solution. The repair-vs-replace decision is driven by the condition of the roof, not by what is most profitable.

About These Claims

Every claim here is independently verifiable — anyone can check any claim on its own, without needing access to Zilker Roofing's internal systems.
