Repair
Report
Because roof leaks are unpredictable, Gilstrap Roofing does not warranty repairs. A leak may be coming from an area that is undetectable without tearing off part of the roof or another issue may develop over time in the same area.

There are several different types of commercial roofing and industrial roofing products available to fit a wide variety of needs.

Residential
Report
Shingle roofs come in come in two basic varieties; three-tab shingles and architectural shingles. Many manufacturers also make designer shingles that are made to look like other materials, like wood shakes or slate. These shingles are generally more durable and have a distinctive look, but are also considerably more expensive.

These guys are lifesavers, after dealing with a handful of the larger roofing companies in the area, and being up sold nearly to death, we landed on Gilstrap. They gave us a better price than any of the other companies that gave us a quote, and got the job done in a timely, efficient manner. Just solid, honest work from the moment they started. We had one issue with a leak, but the leak was a result of a pest control company anchoring anti-squirrel mesh by nailing it through the brand new roof(that's a different review for a different time) we discovered the leak at 2:30 in the morning and called Gilstrap right away to leave a message and let them know what was going on.

We expected to have to wait til the next morning to hear back, but not thirty minutes later we got an email saying they would be out in the morning. They took care of absolutely everything, even contacting the company that was at fault, and they got it done in an afternoon(Andreas really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and he did it in scorching heat too, really, really great work).

Excellent service, excellent work, and everyone we've dealt with has been friendly and professional every step of the way. I would highly recommend Gilstrap if you're in the market for a new roof, or need some repair work.

Did a professional job except for one detail. There is a small area of roof chimney needing attention. Six months and we are still waiting. The repair was in original contract and subs have said the repair is easy. What's the issue?

We have used Brian Gilstrap for all of our roofing needs for many years. He has done small roofing repair jobs at our rental properties as well as larger jobs, such as replacing a flat roof over the back of our home. Most recently, Brian replaced the roof on our home and the roofs on two of our rental homes. His workers are experienced and efficient, and they thoroughly cleared our properties of all debris.

We dealt directly with Brian Gilstrap, the owner of Gilstrap Roofing, in pricing and scheduling these jobs, He was competitive in his quotes, and he was able to schedule and complete the jobs within a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Gilstrap Roofing Company.

Thanks so much Gilstrap roofing you guys did a Gr8 job. Found a good bit of rotten and broken wood but they stuck with it got them replaced and still finished in one day. I found one little issue with my gate but I called Eric and he sent a guy right out to take care of it no problem. So I will definitely recommend them in the future. Thanks Eric Martin and Gilstrap roofing for a job well done

Brian Gilstrap and his employees did a great job on our roof. His estimate was the most reasonable. The workmanship was excellent and the roof looks so good. Very professional throughout the process. After the roof was installed, Brian inspected it to make sure it was to the quality he expects. I highly recommend Gilstrap Roofing. Services: Roof installation, Roof inspection

We were happy we chose Gilstrap Roofing for our recent roofing project. Their sales rep, Erik Martin, was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. Their crew was cheerful, quick, and competent as they removed the shingles, demolished the above-roof part of the old chimney, repaired the roof, and attached the new shingles. Since they started late due to a previous job, they worked into the evening to finish up and came back the next day for a thorough yard clean up. The new roof looks great.

We highly recommend Gilstrap Roofing, Inc. They are so helpful from the quote to the finished product. The crew was efficient, professional, and kept everything tidy throughout the entire process. We were very impressed with how they cleaned up after removing the original roof. They even sent someone back the next day to inspect and sweep for nails. We could not be happier with the final product. Overall, an excellent experience with Gilstrap Roofing!

Gilstrap Roofing was amazing to work with. They worked with our insurance company to get our roof replaced. Dan was very professional and was prompt. He came out and looked at the damage and then began paperwork with the insurance. Dan also came out to meet with the adjusters. After the paperwork was final, the roof was started in two days. The insulation was a whole roof and was scheduled for 2 days. Dan's crew worked to replace our roof in a day.

The crew was very professional and hard working. One area of our roof had to be reconstructed so that water does not stand after a rain storm. This was added relief to us as the homeowners. Dan came several times to bring the crew materials and check on them. He also checked on them and provided what they needed to continue a long day of work. Gilstrap Roofing is very supportive of their employees.

Our neighbor even commented on the professionalism of the contractors to the crew members. The crew protected my flowers and moved items that could have been damaged when the shingles were removed. They cleaned up after the completion of the job (old shingles removed, nails picked up and trash cleaned up). They replaced everything that they had moved.

We had nothing to do after the roof. This was very nice. It is so nice to step back and look at our new roof. We are totally satisfied with our roof and the professional staff at Gilstrap Roofing. If you are in the need of a roof, we highly recommend Gilstrap Roofing. Give Dan a call.

Brian and JJ came out so quickly to provide us a quote for our roof. We had a long list of repairs after our buyers home inspection was performed and Gilstrap roofing made checking the roof off our list the easiest and smoothest of the repairs. They were very quick to respond (same day), professional and courteous. We had a few contractors come to quote the job and Gilstrap Roofing had the best price, not to mention they were the easiest to work with. Cannot recommend them enough and will definitely call them without question if we have more roofing needs in the future.

This is the second time we've used Gilstrap, and the second time we'd recommend them to someone else. The first time, they came out to do a small patch job (in a difficult spot); when we still had some leakage after a rain a few weeks later, they came right back out and fixed it. This second time was for a larger area, and we've had no issues since.

The guys are really nice and polite! The only thing was they were a little hard to get out here the second time - took a few phone calls. But we are so pleased with their work and their attitude, that it was worth it to us to use them despite the phone tag. :)

I work for both sav-way convenience stores and Landrum rentals. Chase has done the roof on 6 of our locations and repaired several of them. We have done both shingles and metal roofing and both look great.

After struggling to get a call back from other companies Chase came out the very next day and gave me an estimate. His crew was out the next week and replaced the roof in just one day. He made it such a simple process and was extremely helpful.

Our roof was in need of replacing. They came out and give us a very good price. Once I give them the go ahead Chase got the ball rolling. The job was completed in the time we were told. Done a great job, shingles look great and all was cleaned up.

Gils trap worked on some leaks in my roof, and after a year, and some heavy rains, the leaks have reappeared. I have called them 4 times and keep getting promises that they will call me, but they never do.

My one star rating is because I did not get an chance to see their work product. I called Gilstrap roofing a few weeks ago and had a hard time getting anyone to call me back. Finally I found someone else to make a small repair while I waiting on the insurance adjuster to inspect the roof. After the claim was approved by insurance, I again called Gilstrap because the company seemed to have good ratings and I thought maybe the lack of communication a few weeks back was just a fluke.

I called last week and I was told someone from scheduling would call me back. I waited. I called on Thursday 10/15. Knowing that there has been some bad weather in the area and that they may be busy, I gave it until Monday. Monday comes and goes and no one calls me back. On Tuesday 10/20 I call back and a lady apologized for the oversight and said someone would call me as soon as possible from scheduling. Well it's Thursday and no one has called back. So I have called another company because I am done begging Gilstrap Roofing to call me back.

Over a year ago, wind damage caused our roof to suffer major leaks. After the insurance company accepted our claim, we had the daunting task of finding a respectable company to put on a new roof. After hearing Gilstrap Roofing advertised on the radio, I checked them out. Their experience and A+ BBB rating won me over. One of their reps came over, gave us an estimate, and days later they began work on our roof. We were very pleased with the entire process. I highly recommend their company.

Gilstrap Roofing just finished a second roof for me and I could not be happier. Their team is knowledgeable, showed up on time and finished on time. Good communication. Good clean-up. Great follow-up inspection process as well.

Knowledgeable. True to their word. Amazing customer service. Hard working. Quick and efficient. These are just a few of the things I can say about Brian and the team at Gilstrap Roofing. Very professional and unlike many people that have worked at or on my house in the past, these guys do what they say.
