About
Gorilla Roofing Solutions is a locally and family owned San Antonio roofing and exteriors company operating out of 8826 Padie Summit on the far West Side (78251). GAF's contractor directory lists the legal entity as Gorilla Roofing LLC at that address with the phone (726) 300-2649, the same number the city register carries. The company's BBB profile names Eli Daniel Terrazas as owner, records the business as started on 1 September 2020, and shows it BBB Accredited since October 2020 with an A+ rating.
The service list is roofing plus the exterior work that usually follows a hail claim: asphalt shingle roof installation, metal roof installation, roof repair, roof inspection, storm damage repair, commercial roofing, siding installation and solar installation. GAF's directory records the company as a GAF Certified contractor, which is the level that allows it to offer GAF's System Plus limited warranty on qualifying roof systems. Note that this credential appears on GAF's own directory rather than on the company's website, which does not mention it.
Coverage is the eastern and northeastern side of the metro plus the city itself: San Antonio, Bexar County, Converse, Schertz and New Braunfels. This is inland hail and heat country, not a coastal windstorm market. Texas has no state roofing license, so verify the general liability and workers' compensation certificates with the issuing agent and confirm the contractor pulls the permit in their own name.

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 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.

Frequently asked
Is Gorilla Roofing Solutions licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas issues no state roofing license, so no Texas roofer holds one. The company describes itself as fully licensed and insured, which in San Antonio means city home improvement contractor registration plus liability and workers' compensation coverage. Verify both certificates with the issuing insurance agent before signing.
Is the GAF certification real, or just a marketing line?
It is verifiable. GAF's own contractor directory lists the entity Gorilla Roofing LLC at 8826 Padie Summit, San Antonio 78251 with the phone (726) 300-2649 as a GAF Certified contractor able to offer the System Plus limited warranty. That is GAF's record, not the company's claim. The company's own website does not mention GAF at all.
What does GAF Certified actually get me?
Access to GAF's System Plus limited warranty on a qualifying full system install, which extends coverage beyond the basic shingle-only warranty. GAF Certified is the entry tier, below Master Elite. Ask for the warranty to be registered with GAF in your name after the job and keep the registration confirmation.
Is the company an RCAT member?
We searched the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory at web.rcat.net for Gorilla and got no match, so we report it as not found via RCAT search rather than not listed. RCAT membership is voluntary. This company's verifiable third party credentials are its GAF certification and its BBB accreditation.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Member means the company pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL) is separately earned through RCAT's own exam and experience requirements. They are not the same thing and neither implies the other, so ask which a contractor holds and get the licence number.
There is a Gorilla Roofing in Florida. Is this the same company?
No. This is a separate San Antonio business. Everything in this listing was tied to the Texas company by the (726) 300-2649 number in the city register and the 8826 Padie Summit, 78251 address that GAF and BBB both show. Gorilla Roofing names appear in several states and are unrelated to each other.
Why does the phone number start 726 instead of 210?
726 is a newer overlay area code for the same San Antonio geography as 210, introduced when 210 numbers ran short. A 726 number is just as local as a 210 one. The company also publishes a 210 office number on its own site.
What is the dominant roofing threat in San Antonio?
Hail and heat. Bexar County sits at the southern end of Texas hail country and takes damaging hail most spring seasons. Between storms, months of intense UV and very high roof deck temperatures dry out asphalt binder and break down sealant strips, so many local roofs wear out well before their printed warranty term.
Do I need WPI-8 windstorm certification in Bexar County?
No. WPI-8 certification through TWIA covers only the 14 first-tier Gulf Coast counties. Bexar County, along with Converse and Schertz, is inland and outside that program. Windstorm certification offered on a San Antonio roof is not something your policy can use.
Should I pay for Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
In a hail market it is usually the best-value upgrade available. Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test, and most Texas carriers give a standing premium discount for a documented Class 4 roof. Get the exact discount from your insurer, then weigh it against the upcharge over your expected time in the house.
