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.

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 Vega Roofing: Honest Comparison

May 24, 20265 min read

TL;DR — Vega Roofing and Baccaro Roofing serve very different lanes. Vega has 61 years in business, BBB accreditation, and a stack of manufacturer certifications across multiple flat- and steep-roof systems. Baccaro is a 5+ year, owner-operated boutique with a 5.0-star rating across all 20 reviews and a no-pressure modern materials focus. Both are real. They just fit different homeowners.

About both companies

Vega Roofing has been in the Rio Grande Valley since 1965 — 61 years and counting. They're BBB accredited and hold manufacturer certifications across Duro-Last, Poly-Glas, Gaco, GAF, and Owens Corning. That spread is unusual: most roofers commit to one or two manufacturer programs, but Vega's range means they can spec almost any commercial flat-roof or residential steep-roof system a customer asks for. Decades of institutional knowledge come with that.

Baccaro Roofing is the smaller end of the spectrum by design. Based at 4305 N 10th St, McAllen, the company has been operating for 5+ years with 500+ completed projects and a perfect 5.0-star rating across all 20 Google reviews. Owner Ronnie Baccaro personally inspects every job. The crew is fully bilingual, and the focus is on modern residential systems — Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and standing-seam metal — with a straightforward, no-sales-pressure quoting process.

Where Vega Roofing is genuinely strong

Tenure is the headline. 61 years is not a marketing number — it's six decades of payroll, six decades of standing behind warranties, six decades of seeing what fails in the Valley climate. Most roofing companies don't make it past year five. Vega has made it past year sixty. That track record alone is a legitimate reason to call them.

BBB accreditation adds another layer of formal accountability — they've committed to a public complaint resolution process. And the breadth of manufacturer certifications is genuinely useful: if you have a commercial flat roof and want a specific Duro-Last or Gaco system, or you want bids across multiple GAF tiers, Vega can deliver options that smaller shops can't. For complex multi-system buildings, that range matters.

Where Baccaro stands out

The boutique structure is the point. With a smaller crew and fewer simultaneous jobs, accountability lives in one place: Ronnie. He's the one who quotes it, the one who shows up, and the one whose name is on the warranty. There's no layer of project managers or commissioned salespeople between you and the decision-maker.

The materials focus is intentionally modern. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles often qualify for insurance discounts in hail-exposed counties, and standing-seam metal handles RGV's UV and hurricane wind better than most legacy systems. No legacy sales tactics either — no "sign today for this price," no door-to-door post-storm chasing. Every quote is written, line-itemed, and emailed within 24 hours of a free inspection. And the 5.0-star rating across all 20 Google reviews is consistent — not an average dragged up by volume, but every single customer rating the experience the same way.

Side-by-side comparison

| Dimension | Vega Roofing | Baccaro Roofing | |---|---|---| | Year founded | 1965 (61 years) | 5+ years | | Ownership structure | Established multi-decade company | Owner-operator (Ronnie Baccaro) | | BBB accreditation | Yes | Not yet | | Manufacturer certifications | Duro-Last, Poly-Glas, Gaco, GAF, OC | Standard partnerships, modern focus | | Material focus | Full commercial + residential range | Class 4 + standing-seam residential | | Pricing transparency | Standard contractor quoting | Written, line-itemed, 24-hour turnaround | | Reviews | Established base | 5.0 stars across all 20 reviews | | Sales approach | Traditional contractor model | No-pressure, free inspection always |

Which one should you call?

If you have a commercial flat-roof project that needs a specific manufacturer system — Duro-Last, Gaco, Poly-Glas — Vega is built for that and Baccaro is not. Call Vega. If you value six decades of track record and BBB accreditation specifically as decision factors, those are real and Vega earns that call.

If you're a residential homeowner who wants the owner of the company on your roof, a written photo-based quote within 24 hours, and zero pressure to sign anything on the spot, Baccaro fits better. If you want modern Class 4 or standing-seam systems quoted cleanly without an upsell to legacy materials, Baccaro fits better. And if you're the kind of customer who reads every review and notices that all 20 are 5-star (not an average), that consistency is the Baccaro signal.

The smart play is the same as always: get quotes from both. Read [how to choose a roof replacement contractor near you](/blog/roof-replacement-near-me-how-to-choose) before you compare.

Common questions

Does 61 years guarantee better work? It guarantees they'll likely still be around to honor a warranty. It doesn't guarantee any single crew member's workmanship — ask who's actually on your roof.

Is BBB accreditation a must? It's a positive signal, not a requirement. Plenty of excellent roofers aren't accredited; plenty of mediocre ones are. Treat it as one data point among many.

How important are manufacturer certifications? Important if you want enhanced manufacturer warranties (extended coverage tiers). Less important if you're buying a standard system on a typical residential reroof.

What if I want both options compared? Get both quotes in writing, side by side, with the same scope. Compare apples to apples.
