Do you offer free estimates?

Yes! We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all roofing services. Call us at (956) 600-0501 or visit our contact page to get started.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. We work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards.

How long have you been in business?

Baccaro Roofing has served South Texas for over 5 years, with more than 500 completed projects and a 5.0-star rating across our 20+ Google reviews. Ronnie Baccaro is the owner-operator and personally inspects every job. We're built on RGV referrals — most of our work comes from neighbors recommending us.

Do you help with insurance claims?

Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies. We'll document the damage, meet with adjusters, and ensure you get the coverage you deserve.

What does a typical roof replacement cost in the RGV?

Most full residential replacements in the Rio Grande Valley range from $8,000 to $18,000, depending on roof size, slope, material (asphalt shingle vs. metal), and decking condition. Use our free Roof Cost Calculator at /roof-cost-calculator for an instant estimate, or call (956) 600-0501 for a no-pressure on-site inspection.

What roofing materials do you use?

We use top-quality materials from trusted manufacturers including architectural shingles, metal roofing, and flat roofing systems. We'll recommend the best option for your home and budget.

What warranty do you provide?

Every new roof comes with the manufacturer's material warranty (typically 30–50 years on architectural shingles, lifetime on metal) plus our 5-year workmanship warranty on installation. If anything fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it free. No fine print, no hassle.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Baccaro Roofing is fully insured for general liability and workers' comp, and operates across the Rio Grande Valley with all required local permits pulled on every job. We carry full documentation on every job site and can provide certificates of insurance on request before any work begins.

What areas of the Rio Grande Valley do you serve?

We serve all 45+ cities across the Rio Grande Valley — Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy, and Starr counties — including McAllen, Brownsville, Edinburg, Pharr, Mission, Harlingen, Weslaco, San Juan, Alamo, and South Padre Island. If you're in the RGV, we'll come give you a free inspection.

Do you work in Spanish too?

Yes — completely. Ronnie and most of the Baccaro crew are native Spanish speakers, and we run the entire job in Spanish if that's what you prefer: inspection notes, written quote, insurance adjuster meeting, daily progress check-ins, final walkthrough. The /techos/ section of our site and our Spanish blog posts are written in native Spanish, not translated. Roofing decisions are too important to lose detail in a language gap. Call (956) 600-0501 and ask for Ronnie en español.

Do you work on commercial roofs?

Yes. Baccaro Roofing handles flat and low-slope commercial systems — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal — across the RGV. We work with property managers, HOAs, retail centers, and small industrial clients. Same free inspection policy: we'll diagnose what's wrong and quote it honestly before any contract.

Can I finance my roof?

Yes — financing is available on roof replacements through partner lenders so you don't have to cover the full cost upfront. Most homeowners qualify, the application is quick during your inspection visit, and we don't pull credit unless you ask. Visit baccaro-roofing.com/financing for current options, or just mention it during your free inspection and Ronnie will walk through what fits. No pressure if cash works better for you — we won't push financing on anyone.

Baccaro Roofing GuideBaccaro vs AV Roofing: Honest Comparison

May 24, 20265 min read

TL;DR — AV Roofing and Baccaro Roofing are both legitimate RGV options. AV has established local citations and niche service pages that show real depth in their core area. Baccaro covers all 45 RGV cities across four counties with a fully bilingual website, owner-operator structure, and a free online cost calculator with financing options. Different shapes, both real.

About both companies

AV Roofing is an established local roofing contractor with strong citation presence and niche service pages across the central RGV. That kind of citation depth — being listed accurately across local directories with consistent NAP data and specific service-area content — is the mark of a company that's invested in being findable and accountable in its core market.

Baccaro Roofing operates out of 4305 N 10th St, McAllen, and covers 45 cities across the Rio Grande Valley — Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy, and Starr counties. Owner Ronnie Baccaro personally inspects every job. The company has completed 500+ projects over 5+ years and holds a 5.0-star rating across 20 Google reviews. The website is fully bilingual with Spanish-keyword URLs, and there's a free roof cost calculator plus financing options for homeowners who need them.

Where AV Roofing is genuinely strong

AV's local presence is real. Established citations across directories, niche service pages, and consistent local SEO signals indicate a company that knows its territory well and has invested in showing up correctly when local homeowners search. That kind of digital discipline often correlates with operational discipline — companies that pay attention to details online tend to pay attention to details on the roof.

If you're in AV's core service area and you've already seen them quote a neighbor's roof or you've gotten a referral from someone they worked for, that local familiarity is worth something. Knowing the company has roots in your specific town — and that you'll be able to find them again if you need warranty work in three years — matters. Their niche service page depth also signals they handle a wider range of specific repair types than a generalist competitor.

Where Baccaro stands out

The coverage footprint is the biggest single difference. Baccaro covers 45 RGV cities across four counties — from Brownsville and South Padre on the Gulf, through the McAllen metro, west to Rio Grande City, and north into the Willacy County rural towns. If you own property in multiple Valley locations or you're outside the central Hidalgo cluster, that coverage matters.

The website is fully bilingual with Spanish-keyword URLs — meaning a Spanish-speaking homeowner gets a native experience from search to inspection to invoice, not an English site with a translation toggle. The free online roof cost calculator gives you a real ballpark before you even pick up the phone, and financing options are available for homeowners who need to spread the cost.

Structurally, it's owner-operator: Ronnie inspects every job himself. That's different from a traditional contractor model where the person who quotes you is not the person who'll be on your roof or the person responsible if something goes wrong in year three. And every quote is written, line-itemed, and emailed within 24 hours — no verbal-only pricing.

Side-by-side comparison

| Dimension | AV Roofing | Baccaro Roofing | |---|---|---| | Service area | Established local presence | 45 RGV cities, 4 counties | | Ownership structure | Traditional contractor | Owner-operator (Ronnie Baccaro) | | Website | English-focused | Fully bilingual, Spanish-keyword URLs | | Cost calculator | Quote-based | Free online calculator | | Financing options | Varies | Available | | Pricing transparency | Standard contractor quoting | Written, line-itemed, 24-hour turnaround | | Spanish capability | Available | Fully bilingual, no handoff | | Reviews | Established local base | 5.0 stars across 20 Google reviews |

Which one should you call?

If you're in AV's core service area, have already gotten a personal referral, and you specifically want a roofer with deep local citation presence and niche service pages, AV is a legitimate call. There's no reason to overlook a company that's invested in being correctly findable in its market.

If you're outside the central RGV cluster — coastal Cameron County, rural Willacy, the Starr County edge — or you own property across multiple Valley cities, Baccaro's 45-city coverage is the better fit. If Spanish is your primary language and you want a website and a roofer that meet you fully in Spanish, that's Baccaro. If you want a ballpark cost estimate before you even call, the free [roof cost calculator](/roof-cost-calculator) gives you that. And if you want the owner of the company on your roof during inspection, that's the Baccaro model.

Common questions

Does coverage area really matter? Yes — if a roofer doesn't regularly work in your city, response time for warranty calls suffers. Confirm they actually serve your address.

Is a cost calculator accurate? It's a ballpark, not a quote. A real number requires a real inspection. But it helps you set budget expectations before you call.

Should I take financing if it's offered? Only if the terms work for your budget. Compare any financing offer to a HELOC or a credit union loan — sometimes those are cheaper. Never sign financing just to close a roofing deal.

How do I know who's actually doing the work? Ask directly. "Who's the foreman on my job?" "Is the crew employees or subcontractors?" Good roofers answer cleanly.
