LONGHORN Roofing Inc

What LONGHORN Roofing Inc does

Longhorn Roofing Inc is a residential roofing contractor headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 1985 by Eddie Latham and owned since 2008 by Tom Green. The company serves individual homeowners across 16 Central Texas cities spanning Travis, Hays, and Williamson counties, including Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, Lakeway, and Pflugerville. Its operating model is direct-to-consumer with a four-step sales process (complimentary initial estimate, expert recommendations, formal written estimate, scheduled installation) and in-house employed crews performing all work.

The company's core offerings span composite/asphalt shingle roofing (dimensional and 3-tab from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed), custom standing-seam metal roofing manufactured on-site from 24-gauge Galvalume-coated steel panels, cool roof shingles for energy efficiency, roof ventilation, repair, flashing, and storm damage restoration. Technical differentiators include a 3-step shingle installation process (versus industry-standard 2-step), a 12-point post-installation inspection program, and on-site metal panel fabrication that eliminates fastener exposure for watertightness. The company holds certifications from GAF (Certified Roofer), Owens Corning (Preferred Contractor), and CertainTeed (Master Shingle Applicator), carries an A+ BBB rating, and won the Angie's List Super Service Award in 2013.

Revenue is generated through one-time project fees for installations and repairs plus free inspections and consultations, with insurance claim assistance included as part of the service flow. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates; payment is due upon completion via cash, check, or credit card. With 6 employees, the business is intentionally lean, leveraging referrals from past customers, local contractors, and a real estate professional who has channeled clients for 20 years, supplemented by Google, Yelp, and Facebook reviews. The company is bootstrapped and privately held with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding.
