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 Marva Roofing: Honest Comparison

May 24, 20265 min read

TL;DR — Marva Roofing and Baccaro Roofing are both real, established RGV roofers with strong local reputations. Marva brings a veteran-owned story and deep multi-city chamber roots. Baccaro brings Spanish-first capability, modern Class 4 and standing-seam focus, and a written photo-based quote within 24 hours. Read both sides honestly and pick on fit.

About both companies

Marva Roofing is a veteran-owned roofing contractor with an established presence across the central RGV. They hold chamber of commerce memberships in Pharr, Mission, and Edinburg — three of the major Valley business communities — which signals real local engagement and accountability. Their multi-city brand presence makes them a familiar name for homeowners in the McAllen metro.

Baccaro Roofing operates out of 4305 N 10th St, McAllen, covering 45 RGV cities from Brownsville on the coast to Rio Grande City on the western edge. Owner Ronnie Baccaro inspects every job personally. The company has completed 500+ projects over 5+ years and currently holds a 5.0-star rating across 20 Google reviews. The crew is fully bilingual at a native level, and the focus skews modern: Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and standing-seam metal systems.

Where Marva Roofing is genuinely strong

Veteran-owned matters to a lot of RGV homeowners — and it should. It signals a particular kind of accountability and discipline that's earned, not advertised. If supporting a veteran-owned business is part of how you make hiring decisions, that's a real, valid reason to call Marva.

The three-chamber membership is also genuinely meaningful. Chamber dues aren't free, and active participation across Pharr, Mission, and Edinburg means they've shown up in those communities for long enough to be known. That kind of local network is hard to fake and tends to correlate with companies that stick around to honor warranties. Their established brand presence in the central Valley means you'll find them easily and hear about them from neighbors.

Where Baccaro stands out

A few honest differentiators. First, full Spanish-first capability with no language handoff — the same person who inspects your roof can negotiate, explain, and write up the job entirely in Spanish if that's your preference. No "let me get my coworker who speaks Spanish." In a region where Spanish is the home language for most households, that changes the conversation.

Second, the materials focus. Baccaro skews toward Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (which often qualify for insurance discounts in hail-prone areas) and standing-seam metal systems — the same modern product mix that performs best in RGV's mix of UV exposure, hurricane wind, and hailstorms. Third, photo-based written quotes within 24 hours of inspection. You get the actual photos of what's wrong, the line-item cost, and the timeline — emailed, not just verbally promised. Fourth, coverage from Brownsville to Rio Grande City, including coastal Cameron County where wind ratings matter most.

Side-by-side comparison

| Dimension | Marva Roofing | Baccaro Roofing | |---|---|---| | Ownership story | Veteran-owned | Owner-operator (Ronnie Baccaro) | | Local presence | 3 chamber memberships (Pharr, Mission, Edinburg) | 45-city RGV coverage incl. coastal | | Spanish capability | Available | Fully bilingual, no handoff | | Material focus | Full-service roofing | Class 4 + standing-seam focus | | Quote format | Standard contractor quoting | Photo-based, line-itemed, 24-hour turnaround | | Free inspection | Varies | Always free, always | | Years in business | Established multi-city brand | 5+ years, 500+ projects | | Reviews | Established review base | 5.0 stars across 20 Google reviews |

Which one should you call?

If supporting a veteran-owned business is important to you, or you already know Marva through chamber events or neighbor referrals in Pharr, Mission, or Edinburg, that's a real reason to call them first. They've earned that local trust.

If you want the conversation entirely in Spanish from inspection to invoice, or you're specifically shopping Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or standing-seam metal, Baccaro is the better fit. If you're in Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, or anywhere on the coastal edge of the Valley, Baccaro's coverage extends fully there. And if you want photos of what's wrong with your roof emailed to you with itemized pricing the next day — no "trust me" pricing — that's the Baccaro process.

Common questions

Why does it matter that the quote is in writing? Because verbal numbers change. A line-itemed written quote protects you from "oh that wasn't included" surprises mid-project.

Should I pick the roofer with the lowest price? Not blindly. The lowest price often skips synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, or proper ridge ventilation. Compare scope, not just totals.

How do I verify they're insured? Ask for a certificate of insurance listing general liability and workers' comp. Call the carrier directly to confirm it's active — takes 5 minutes.

Does it matter if the owner does the inspection? It matters for accountability. When the owner has seen your roof personally, the decisions on materials and pricing are coming from the person who'll honor the warranty.
