The Best Roofers in Longview, Texas

This is the roofer we would call first, for two reasons that you can check rather than take on faith. The Better Business Bureau's own Longview roofing directory lists Gordy Roofing Inc. at 712 Glencrest Ln C2 on (903) 636-7464, which is exactly the address and number the company publishes itself, so the shop is where it says it is. And it carries GAF Master Elite certification, which is the tier GAF restricts to a small share of contractors and the one that unlocks the Golden Pledge warranty.

On age, the company's own site dates the business to 1968 and says over 55 years, while third-party listings describe it as more than 45 years and trace the family back to William Riley Gordy Sr. roofing in the Dallas area in the late 1960s before moving east. Those do not reconcile, so take it as a shop with roots in the 1960s rather than a precise number. It also lists memberships in the Longview Chamber of Commerce, the East Texas Builders Association and the Tyler Area Builders Association, which are things you can ring up and confirm.

Roof Care is BBB accredited with an A plus rating, accredited since 30 November 2018, with Ricardo Gamboa listed as owner and Michelle Gamboa as operations director. Accreditation is a paid, revocable status tied to a fixed address, which makes it a more useful signal in this trade than a badge somebody dropped into a website footer. No complaints are closed on the file in the last three years.

The practical reason to call here is the sheet metal shop. It fabricates its own flashing, drip edge and metal panel work rather than ordering it in, which is what usually decides whether a tricky valley, chimney or low-slope transition gets done right or gets caulked. It handles asphalt shingle, metal, clay tile and synthetic slate across flat, low-slope and steep-slope roofs, plus seamless gutters and TPO. One thing to know: its own site says family owned since 2009, while the BBB file gives a business start date of 1 July 2012, so the two do not agree on the company's age.

This is the commercial shop on the list. GAF's own contractor directory lists it as a GoldElite Commercial contractor and a CoatingsPro liquid applied roofing contractor, working in asphaltic, single ply and coatings systems. Those are manufacturer held credentials in a directory the manufacturer maintains, not self-reported ones, and coatings certification in particular is worth knowing about if you own a flat roof that does not need tearing off yet.

The BBB file gives an A plus rating with J. Cruz Mendez as president and a business start date of 1 January 1990, while the GAF listing describes it as serving Longview for 28 years, so the exact age is unsettled. It is not BBB accredited, which is worth stating plainly rather than glossing. Note the hours: this is an 8 to 5 weekday shop that shuts at 3 on Friday, so it is built for planned work rather than a storm night call out.

Be clear on what this is: a Tyler company with a Longview branch, not a Longview original. Its own site runs five numbers, with Tyler as the head office and separate lines for Longview, Rockwall, Prosper and Austin. The Longview address above comes from the BBB's Longview roofing directory, where it holds an A plus rating. We have ranked it fourth on that basis rather than hidden the geography.

What earns it the spot is credentials and cover. It publishes a Roofing Contractors Association of Texas licence number, 03-0692, which is a membership you can verify against the association rather than a logo. It is Platinum Preferred with Owens Corning, the top tier in that manufacturer's programme, and it is Versico TPO certified for commercial work. It dates itself to 2008. The 24 hour phone matters most after a hail line moves through, when the first question is who actually picks up.

A genuinely local commercial specialist. The company's own site says Cutberto "PeeWee" Chavarria started roofing in 1986 and founded the business in 1999, and that his son Eduardo joined in 2021 after serving in the Marine Corps. The Lindale Chamber of Commerce directory lists the business at the same Highway 322 address, which is the independent confirmation that there is a shop behind the name.

The work is single ply, modified bitumen, roof coatings, metal and repairs, which is the commercial and low-slope end of the trade rather than residential shingle replacement. It also does RV roof coating and repair, which almost nobody else here advertises. Two phone numbers circulate: the (903) 500-7174 on its own site and the (903) 806-2652 in the chamber listing. Both trace back to the same address, so either should reach somebody.

Another honest label: this is a White Oak company, not a Longview one, though White Oak is ten minutes up Highway 80 and Longview is squarely in its service area. Its own site gives the shop address above, an A plus BBB rating, more than 25 years in roofing and 30 in residential and commercial construction, and a Good Contractor listing. It also appears in the Lindale Chamber of Commerce directory.

It covers residential and commercial, including TPO, modified bitumen, PVC and metal, plus gutters, windows and emergency restoration. The thing we would actually use it for is the text line. The company publishes one number for call or text and says texts are picked up outside office hours, which in practice gets a photograph of a leak in front of somebody at nine on a Saturday night.

Stonewater is a Tyler company, head office at 924 W Houston Street, with a Longview office at the East Loop 281 address above. The BBB's Longview roofing directory lists it there on (903) 266-1205, and independent contractor directories date the business to 2010 and describe it as family owned. It also appears in the Austin Chamber of Commerce member directory, which is consistent with a company working Tyler, Longview and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Its strength is the system list rather than shingles: built-up roofing, foam, EPDM and TPO alongside designer and asphalt shingles and storm damage work. If you are specifying a commercial reroof and want more than one bid on a membrane or a foam system, this belongs on the list with Advanced Roofing Services and PeeWee. We have ranked it seventh because it is the Longview branch of an out-of-town company and because its own website would not render for us this week, so everything above is from directories rather than from the company's own pages.

This is the entry most lists get wrong, and the reason is worth knowing before you dial. Several Longview roofing directories publish a 505 East Cotton Street address in Longview for Randy Langford Roofing. The company's own website gives a Gilmer address, 1110 Evergreen Road, and describes itself as part of the Tony Langford Roofing and Construction family. So this is a Gilmer outfit that works Longview, which is a fine thing to be, just not what the directories imply.

What we can verify is good. It is run by Randy and Zach Langford as a father and son team, it is BBB accredited with an A plus rating, and it works Monday to Saturday with early starts, which is unusual cover for a two-generation shop. It installs composition shingle, metal, modified rubber and tile, and it lists Owens Corning, GAF, TAMKO and Mule-Hide as material lines. Its own site says in business since 1968, which we have not been able to confirm independently, so treat it as the company's claim.
