Roof replacement, storm restoration, and repairs across New Braunfels and the surrounding Hill Country—plus residential remodeling, additions, and construction. GAF certifies only a small fraction of contractors at its highest level — it requires a licensed, insured, verifiable local business, and it unlocks warranties most roofers can’t offer. You’ll get a straight assessment and a firm number.
Hail moves across Central Texas and the crews follow it. They knock on doors, they talk about a free roof, they hand you a form to sign while you’re still standing in the yard looking at your gutters.
Some of them do fine work. Many don’t. The problem is that you have no way to tell which is which, and you’re being asked to decide today.
Here’s the part that usually goes unsaid: the contractor who installs your roof is the one who has to honor the workmanship warranty on it. If that contractor has moved on to the next storm in the next state, your warranty went with them.
Every roofer says they’re certified. Most mean they bought shingles from someone. Master Elite is different, and it’s worth thirty seconds of your time to understand why.
GAF doesn’t hand it out. A contractor has to prove they’re properly licensed, carry real insurance, and have a documented reputation that GAF verifies independently — then keep proving it. It is a small fraction of roofing contractors nationally.
Which leads to the useful part: a storm chaser cannot hold this certification. It requires a verifiable local business with a track record, which is exactly what a company that shows up after the hail and leaves before winter does not have. That’s not marketing. It’s a structural fact about how the certification works.
Specific warranty terms and coverage lengths are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
