About
Wilson Roofing is the Austin company at 217-A South Commons Ford Road in west Austin, 78733, in Travis County, and wilsonroofing.com is genuinely its own website rather than a same name firm in another state. The address 217 S Commons Ford Rd Ste A and the phone (512) 263-3157 appear identically on the company's own site, its BBB profile, its RCAT record and its listing in GAF's contractor directory, which is what separates it from the several unrelated Wilson Roofing businesses operating elsewhere in the country. BBB records the business as started in October 1976 and BBB Accredited since 1981 with an A+ rating, one of the longest running accreditations among Austin roofers. The company's own history says Ralph Wilson bought the business from his older brother Doyle in 1976 and ran it for 42 years before his nephew Taylor Wilson purchased it in 2018 to keep it in the family, and it says the firm has roofed more than 80,000 homes. Justin Buschman is listed as the RCAT contact and as a BBB principal, and John Kaiser as vice president for new construction. RCAT lists the company as a Member. GAF's own contractor directory lists Wilson Roofing as a Master Elite contractor and shows a President's Club award, which is the top tier of GAF's residential programme and is restricted to a small share of roofers nationally. Work spans residential replacement and repair, new construction roofing for builders, and commercial work, supported by an in house metal shop, and BBB categorises the company for metal, flat and tile roofing, skylights, and hail and wind damage repair with insurance claim assistance. Central Texas roofs contend with spring hail and severe thunderstorm wind, along with the long Austin summer of high heat and ultraviolet exposure that ages shingles and makes attic ventilation worth getting right.

Insurance & credential verification
Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.
Confirm this listing yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search.
Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.

We had an excellent experience with Wilson Roofing, from office staff, lead contacts, inspectors, estimators, schedulers and roof installers. They accommodated our very tight timeline, communicated quickly & clearly, presented a detailed contract, provided a competitive & reasonable bid and were professional in all aspects of their work. The large roof crew arrived on time at 7 a.m., worked 8 hours straight with only a short lunch break, laid tarps all around the house, clearly had a system and knew their jobs, and did an excellent job of clean-up. Our yard may have looked better than before they arrived.😉 We cannot say enough good things about Wilson Roofing! Charlene Urwin & John Pratt
Wilson Roofing did an excellent job replacing our old roof. They were timely, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. Everyone was very nice to work with, and they did it all for a fair price. I highly recommend them
After several days of hard rains we discovered a small leak around the exhaust vent of the heating system. On a holiday weekend, of course. We contacted Wilson Roofing late on a Friday, confirmed that the leak was minor and being captured in a pan. There was a crew here early on the Tuesday after Memorial day. Our entire roof was inspected, photos were taken, and, as expected, time and Texas heat/sun had deteriorated the 8 year old sealant used when the house was built. The crew went over the entire roof, not just where the leak occurred, replacing sealant, checking flashing, everything. Let us know the shingles were in good shape, no need for further repairs, and all completed within the hour at a very reasonable cost. All in all, a very courteous, professional transaction. Highly recommend Wilson Roofing. They, and their extended family, have been in the home building and roofing business in Central Texas for a very long time, and have maintained a great "word of mouth" reputation. Very happy with their work. No leaks after the repair!
Great experience with Wilson Roofing! Ian set up a thorough inspection quickly. The inspector used my leak photos to find the exact issue and offered a solid long-term fix. The crew was punctual, efficient, and finished on schedule. It’s only been two days since the repair, but I am highly satisfied with their work so far!
I recently hired Wilson Roofing to find and repair a leak in my concrete tile roof. While assessing the roof, Teddy, the Wilson Roofing representative, not only quickly assessed the original problem, but also saw another area of concern which proved to be worse than my initial leak. Great catch Teddy! Within two days I received an estimate for the repairs, signed a contract and scheduled a day for the repairs. Asuncion and his crew completed the repairs in about 2 hours' time and did a beautiful job. It rained 1.4" that evening and there were no leaks at all! The next day, Wilson emailed me an invoice for the repairs. I especially appreciated the fact that they included a series of photographs thoroughly documenting all the work that had been done. That is great customer service! Wilson Roofing is professional, easy to work with, and a good value for the quality of work performed. I highly recommend them to anyone for any roofing needs you may have.
