"Had a terrible experience a few years ago. New roof was installed and the craftsmanship was awful. It leaked during the first rainstorm and now a few years later it looks like it's 20 years old. Not sure if the shingles are defective, but other roofing contractors have come by asking if I need a new roof because it looks so old and worn-out. When I tell them it's only a few years old, they gasp and are in disbelief... Bottom line, use a better installation company. It's all about the installation. If there are issues with the shingles, a good, quality, experienced roofing installer will stop working and correct the issues so they put a quality roof on your house. Even if that means pulling off all their prior work and starting over. A roof is the most important part of your home and it should be done right."

"Lone Star Roofing & Construction provided a superb group of employees and subcontractors to repair lightning damage to our house and paint the exterior. They handled the entire project, and I only had to make one phone call to get the complete job done. The office staff has been most helpful through it all. They are the highest caliber for courtesy and service that can be found today and are thorough and attentive to detail. When the estimator came to assess the damage, I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and professional approach to our needs. He was a much-needed calming influence. He is outstanding, and my respect for him has only grown through the process. When he submitted the estimate to USAA, he successfully got them to pay for a new roof covering the entire structure, not just the damaged part. That alone saved us thousands of dollars, and we are most grateful. He also earned my thanks for being on site several times as work was in progress. The project manager seemed to be here whenever work was being done to make sure everything met his extremely high standards. I can’t overemphasize how important our relationship has been because I knew that we could absolutely trust him and the workmanship of the crews. He shared with me that a subcontractor gets one chance with the company. If that subcontractor displays incompetence, you never see them again on a Lone Star job. That’s what I wanted to hear. All the subcontractors did outstanding work. The carpenter and his crew, including his wife, are the best. My Dad was a carpenter with a strong work ethic and a determination to do the job right the first time. He taught me well. The carpenters displayed those qualities and should be highly commended because the workplace is full of people who don’t adhere to either standard. The roofers were also outstanding. I was amazed at one of them having been with the company for 25 years and the skilled roofers who worked with him. We were very glad to get high quality paint skillfully applied to the exterior because the house with a new roof and new paint looks great. The painters also repaired and painted sheetrock nails that had been popped out by the “explosion” caused by lightning striking the second story roof. Finally, I would like to commend the electricians. The owner of that company is an electrician’s electrician and gave us complete confidence in what needed to be done in order to repair damages but also to keep us safe. His electricians replaced the entire panel outside the garage where electric service comes from the transformer on the pole out back. Pedernales Electric had already replaced the transformer immediately after the lightning strike. The men also replaced all the breakers in the panel box inside the garage. On our schedule they will soon replace switches and receptacles throughout the house. When I first met the electricians, I quickly gained complete confidence because the senior electrician was an encyclopedia who has been doing his job over 50 years, as I recall. I myself had worked as a helper with an electrician in his 60’s for a while when I was saving money to attend college, and I have many fond memories of working with him (well, maybe not the 135-150 degree heat in attics or crawling under houses built on pier and beam). All in all, I have gained the utmost respect for Lone Star Roofing & Construction and all the people who work for the company. You have our gratitude for making an extremely stressful lightning strike seem like a routine matter. Thank you."
