Why This Matters: Texas is one of the few states where roofing contractors are not legally required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If you hire an uninsured contractor and a crew member falls off your roof and gets hurt, Texas law allows that injured worker or their attorney to sue the homeowner directly and place a legal lien against your house!
Elite Roofing Solutions LLC carries full statutory Workers' Compensation insurance. Every technician on your roof is 100% insured by us. It is extremely important because it means we will NEVER sue the homeowner if an employee falls off the roof and gets hurt, ensuring you are 100% legally and financially shielded.
We offer multiple financing options so you never have to compromise on your home or commercial building's protection due to upfront capital. We partner with top lenders to offer flexible, budget-friendly financing programs for complete GAF roof replacements and insurance deductible assistance.
