About

Zilker Roofing is a family run Austin roofing contractor named for the Zilker neighborhood and park, and it works from 801 Barton Springs Road, Suite 07-104, in 78704, a short walk from the park itself. BBB records show the business starting in November 2022 with Tyler Lawson as president. The company describes itself as a family business run by Tyler alongside his brother Dickie Lawson, and says four of its lead project managers are brothers. The work is residential and commercial roof replacement, repair and inspection, with a heavy emphasis on hail damage inspection and storm restoration, which is the dominant roofing story across Central Texas. It installs Owens Corning and Malarkey asphalt shingle lines, including the Class 4 impact resistant Duration STORM, Duration FLEX, Vista, Legacy and Windsor products, plus standing seam and R panel metal. Replacements carry a 5 year workmanship warranty and repairs a 2 year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's material coverage. It is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating and it appears in Owens Corning's own contractor directory under the legal name Zilker Roofing LLC. The company also states Malarkey Emerald Pro certification, Google Guaranteed status and membership of The Good Contractors List with a 25,000 dollar workmanship guarantee. On insurance work it says plainly that it does not use Assignment of Benefits contracts and is not a licensed public adjuster, and that it documents damage and writes an independent estimate rather than negotiating the claim for you.

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 licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0699 or the company name.

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.

Zilker Roofing was amazing from start to finish. Kelly Henry reached out right away and walked me through the entire process, making everything easy to understand. He was always available by phone or text to answer any questions, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Tyler, the co-owner, was also very helpful throughout the process. At first, the insurance company didn’t want to cover a full roof replacement, but with Zilker Roofing’s help and expertise, we were able to get it approved. The team was honest, transparent, and very professional. They also worked around our schedule for the installation and used high-quality materials. The roof looks fantastic, and the entire process was smooth from beginning to end. I highly recommend Zilker Roofing!

Zilker roofing did a great job replacing my roof! The crew showed up at 7am and finished up right around 5pm. The roofers were quick, the project managers (Will and Billy) were thorough and overall Im happy with how everything turned out. They replaced the bad fascia, old decking and repainted with matching color where needed. Everything came out looking really good.❤️

Had an excellent experience with Zilker Roofing from start to finish. They came out promptly for a roof inspection, clearly explained what needed to be done, and completed all the necessary repairs efficiently and professionally. What impressed me most was their combination of quality work, competitive pricing, and genuinely easy communication. There was no pressure, no surprises, and they delivered exactly what they promised in the timeframe they quoted. If you need roofing work, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to Zilker Roofing. Great team all around.

I had a great experience with Zilker Roofing. They made what could have been a stressful process incredibly easy by taking care of every detail and making the entire project seamless. The crew did an outstanding job, treated my property with care, and left everything clean when they were finished. The quality of the workmanship was terrific, and the roof looks fantastic. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy roofing company.

Zilker was amazing and I thank them for all of their help. We had a long process to get the insurance to approve replacing my hail damaged roof. With William's help, the process was successful and once approved the scheduling for the job was very quick. The roofing team was so well coordinated, you could tell that they were experienced and worked well together. My roof was replaced in one day and the guys stayed late to make sure all was cleaned up. The only suggestion I have for homeowners is to make sure all moveable items are removed from around the house; such as, potted plants.

Frequently asked

Is Zilker Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No roofer is. Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so any company claiming to be state licensed for roofing is overstating things. What you can verify is general liability and workers compensation insurance direct from the insurer, RCAT standing, and any registration your city requires.
What does the RCAT status on this listing mean?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Plain membership is paid dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is separately earned and is the status recorded here for this company. The two are not interchangeable, and neither one is a government license.
Where is Zilker Roofing based, and is the name just a reference to the park?
The name refers to the Zilker neighborhood and Zilker Park in south central Austin, and the company works from 801 Barton Springs Road, Suite 07-104, Austin 78704, which is on the park side of the river. The same address appears on its own site, its BBB profile and its RCAT record.
How long has the company been trading?
BBB records a business start of 21 November 2022 and the company's own structured data gives a founding date of 2022. The owner is described as bringing around 15 years of local roofing experience to a business that is itself young, so judge it on its recent work and its warranty rather than on decades of history.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles a good idea in Austin?
Central Texas takes hail regularly, and a Class 4 shingle is tested to survive a steel ball impact without splitting the mat. Zilker installs the Owens Corning Duration STORM and Duration FLEX lines and Malarkey Vista, Legacy and Windsor. Any premium discount is set by your own insurer, not by the state, and the company is careful to say the commonly quoted range is neither statewide nor guaranteed. Ask your carrier for the number in writing.
Will the company handle my hail insurance claim for me?
It says it will not, and that is the honest answer you want. Zilker states it does not use Assignment of Benefits contracts and is not a licensed public adjuster. It inspects and documents the damage, writes an independent estimate and explains the paperwork, but it does not file or negotiate the claim on your behalf. In Texas, only a licensed public adjuster can act for you in a claim negotiation.
What warranty comes with the work?
Roof replacements carry a 5 year Zilker workmanship warranty and repairs carry a 2 year workmanship warranty. That sits on top of the manufacturer's material warranty, which for a complete system can run to limited lifetime coverage against manufacturing defects. Workmanship and material warranties cover different failures, so read both.
Which shingle brands does it install?
Mostly Owens Corning and Malarkey, with GAF also available. The Owens Corning range runs from three tab Supreme and Classic through Oakridge and the TruDefinition Duration family up to the Berkshire slate look line, and the Malarkey range includes the Ecoasis cool roof product. It also installs standing seam and R panel metal.
Does Zilker work outside Austin proper?
Yes. It publishes a Central Texas footprint that includes Bee Cave, Lakeway, Westlake, Rollingwood, Steiner Ranch, Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, Georgetown, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Hutto, Manor, Elgin, Bastrop, Del Valle, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Spicewood and Lago Vista.
Who pulls the permit for a re-roof in the Austin area?
Texas has no statewide building code office, so permitting and inspection rules are set city by city and county by county, and they differ between the City of Austin and the surrounding suburbs and unincorporated Travis and Hays County areas. Ask which authority covers your address, confirm the permit is pulled in the contractor's name rather than yours, and ask to see the final inspection sign off.
