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.
