Zilker Roofing

The time had come to get a new roof for my home. A recent hailstorm had done a number on my 20 year old roof. Even though it looked OK to my untrained eye, I knew it probably wasn't a good idea to delay action. After decades of covering the news on television in Austin, I know severe weather will always be a threat to my home. I noticed a number of neighbors had posted yard signs for Zilker Roofing. There were 7 of their signs on one cul-de-sac! All the new roofs and gutters looked terrific. As I was walking on that street I happened to meet Tyler Dean Lawson, one of the owners of Zilker Roofing who was there working on a home. Tyler is quite personable and it was obviously to me - well versed with all things roofing. I learned he has a well trained crew working for him. His brother Richard is one of the co-owners. An Austin family business! Tyler pointed out that so many people are calling him because time was running out to file an insurance claim for the hail damage in our part of Austin. He left me his card and offered to come by my home for a free inspection and estimate. When I got home I searched for reviews of Zilker Roofing - virtually all were 5 stars. I asked Tyler to come by and he confirmed that I was overdue for a new roof. Some of the wooden planks I couldn't see were rotting. It was only a matter of time I could start to have a leaking roof. Tyler was at my house when the insurance adjustor came by for an inspection. Tyler asked questions of her that I would have never thought of asking. After the insurance claim was filed and paid to me, I signed the contract with Zilker Roofing at what I believe was a fair price. With Tyler's guidance, my wife and I selected a shingle that is of higher quality and a more eye pleasing color than what we had before. We also got an upgraded and more efficient gutter system. I now have new custom onsite fabricated cricket and counter flashing (see picture), and other features too numerous to mention. Tyler kept me well informed during the process. The Zilker crew worked hard and had the roof finished in one day. They completely cleaned our yard to where you couldn't tell they were even here! Tyler came back out himself and pointed out to me several improvements I didn't even notice, and was eager to further make things right to his standard. The new roof looks fantastic and now I have peace of mind that my home is protected for years to come. I expect professionalism when it comes to protecting my home, and that's exactly what I got with Zilker Roofing!

Tyler and his team are the best! They are very knowledgeable about roofs and working with insurance to get things done. We ran into issues with our insurance provider and Tyler was able to effectively appeal an incorrect decision and get us the rood replacement we needed from hail storms. When it came time to actually replace the roof, his team was fast, skilled, and safe throughout the old roof removal and new roof install. I'm very happy with our new roof and working with Tyler throughout this experience. I would recommend him and his team to anyone needing a trustworthy, highly qualified, and reputable roof company.

My Mom was in the process of selling her house and needed a new roof. Tyler made it a point to be present when the claim adjuster from State Farm insurance came to the house. He didn’t have to do that. The fact that Tyler came over to advocate on our behalf shows his care and commitment. We were 9 days from closing and Tyler's team completed a new roof in one day! We received photos of the work during the process and photos when finished. What a night and day difference! You will get quality materials and people with Zilker Roofing. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. Highly recommend!!
