Roof Replacement Contractor: Choosing the Right Professional for Your Project

Written By

Bar H Contractors

Replacing your roof is one of the most important investments you’ll make as a homeowner. The right roofing system enhances your home’s structural integrity, improves energy efficiency, and protects your family from Texas weather hazards. Just as critical as choosing the right roofing materials is choosing the right contractor to install them.

In the Cross Timbers region—where hailstorms, high winds, and tornadoes are common—you need a roofing company that brings local experience, technical expertise, and a reputation for doing the job right. That’s where Bar H Contractors comes in. With more than 15 years of trusted service, we specialize in residential and commercial roof replacement projects that stand the test of time.

Why the Right Roof Replacement Contractor Matters

Roof replacement isn’t a small undertaking. A poorly installed roof can lead to:

  • Water leaks and costly interior damage
  • Higher energy bills due to poor ventilation
  • Voided manufacturer warranties from improper installation
  • A shortened roof lifespan, requiring another costly replacement sooner than expected

Selecting the right contractor protects your investment and gives you peace of mind knowing your roof is installed to code, with materials that perform as intended under Texas weather conditions.

What to Look For in a Roof Replacement Contractor

1. Industry Certifications and Manufacturer Training

Choose a contractor with recognized industry certifications. Bar H Contractors is proud to be a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster™, a distinction that allows us to offer extended manufacturer warranties and proves our installers are trained to the highest standards.

We’re also active members of:

  • National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)
  • Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)

These memberships reflect our commitment to professionalism, ethics, and staying current with best practices.

2. Local Experience and Weather Knowledge

Contractors who understand local conditions can recommend roofing systems that perform best in the Cross Timbers climate. Bar H Contractors has handled hundreds of roof replacements across Stephenville and surrounding communities. We’ve built roofs that can withstand:

  • Hail impact
  • UV degradation
  • Wind uplift during storms
  • Flash flooding runoff patterns

We also understand local building codes and permitting requirements, streamlining the replacement process.

3. Transparent Estimates and Clear Communication

Your contractor should offer:

  • Detailed, line-item estimates
  • Realistic project timelines
  • Material options explained in everyday terms
  • Consistent communication throughout the project

At Bar H Contractors, our five-step roof replacement process starts with listening. We take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions, and ensure there are no surprises.

Our Five-Step Roof Replacement Process

Step 1: Contact and Initial Consultation

It starts with a phone call or online request. We schedule a visit to inspect your roof using high-resolution drone technology and conduct a thorough assessment.

Step 2: Understand Customer Goals

We don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. We talk with you about:

  • Budget
  • Aesthetic preferences
  • Material performance expectations
  • Insurance involvement if storm damage is involved

Step 3: Order Materials and Plan Logistics

Once you approve the proposal, we order premium materials from trusted suppliers. As a CertainTeed partner, we offer high-performing shingles, underlayments, and accessories that are backed by manufacturer warranties.

Step 4: Execute the Roof Replacement

Our crews follow industry-standard and manufacturer-recommended installation techniques. We ensure:

  • Full removal of old roofing materials
  • Proper deck repair, if needed
  • Ice and water shields in vulnerable areas
  • Correct nailing and ventilation systems
  • Flashing installation that prevents future leaks

We maintain a clean job site and complete most residential projects in 1–2 days.

Step 5: File Warranties and Final Walkthrough

We provide you with all warranty documents and ensure you're satisfied with the work before wrapping up. We’ll also explain maintenance tips and signs to watch for in future storms.

Handling Insurance Claims for Storm Damage

Severe Texas weather can lead to unexpected roof damage. Navigating insurance claims can be overwhelming, especially when you’re also dealing with the stress of home repairs.

Bar H Contractors helps homeowners with:

  • Documented damage reports using drone photography
  • Communication with adjusters
  • Detailed replacement estimates
  • Guidance on your policy’s coverage and exclusions

We ensure your new roof complies with insurance requirements while restoring your property’s value and safety.
