Testimonials
Had a great experience with NineLine Roofing. The owner, Eian, was genuinely helpful and explained everything in a way I could understand. He didn’t rush me or try to push anything, and the whole process felt smooth and honest. Definitely a 5-star job from start to finish.
If I could give Nine Line more than five stars I would. They put on our new roof and did a fantastic job! Art was professional and courtesy all the way. He made sure the job was done to perfection. Art also worked with my insurance company to make sure we received every penny that was coming to us. Thank you again for your loyalty and integrity, Art!
Arturo did a great job taking this off my plate. He upgraded us to a class 3 shingle just for being a veteran! These guys are fellow veterans and looked out for their own. They even sent drone photos and videos to me as before and afters.
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this roofing company! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. They walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood exactly what was being done.customer relationships.
I’ve use them for my roofing needs on both of my rentals and these are some incredible guys to work with the prompt with their communication. Their contracts were very easy to navigate through. The customer. Service was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them to anybody.
Great group of Vets ready to handle business and look out for their neighbors. Couldn’t get better than this if your roof is in danger reach out to 9 Line and get prepared to have that roof saved!

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my insurance denies the claim?
If your claim is denied, you owe us nothing.
We don’t charge for the inspection, documentation, adjuster meeting, or any of the work we put in.
You have zero financial risk.
Do I owe anything upfront or after inspection?
No — there are absolutely no upfront costs.
Your inspection, storm report, photos, and claim assistance are 100% free.
If your roof qualifies for coverage, insurance pays for the replacement.
If it doesn’t, you pay nothing.
How long does a claim-approved replacement take?
Most homeowners get an answer from insurance in 24–72 hours after we meet the adjuster.
Once approved, we can typically install the new roof in 1 day depending on weather and material availability.
Can you meet my insurance adjuster for me?
Yes — we handle the entire adjuster meeting for you at no charge.
We show the adjuster every point of storm damage so nothing gets missed.
This is one of the biggest reasons our approval rates are so high.
What if my roof doesn’t qualify for insurance?
If your roof doesn’t have storm-related damage that qualifies, we’ll explain exactly why and provide photos.
You’re not obligated to buy anything, and we don’t charge for our time.
If you still want roof work done, we can give you options — but that’s completely up to you.
Do you cover upgrades or only replacements?
Every approved homeowner gets a full roofing system upgrade, including:
architectural shingles
synthetic underlayment
improved ventilation
high-wind nailing
upgraded ridge caps
These upgrades are included, not extra.
How do I know if my roof even qualifies?
The fastest way is to schedule a free roof approval check.
We’ll inspect the entire roof, document damage, and tell you straight up — yes or no — in minutes.
Are you a local roofing company?
Yes — we’re a veteran-owned Central Texas roofing company, not storm chasers or out-of-state contractors.
We live here, we work here, and we stand behind every roof we install.
Do I have to file the claim myself?
No — we guide you through the entire process step-by-step so you don’t miss anything.
It takes just a few minutes, and we stay with you until the claim is fully approved.
Will my insurance rates go up if I file a claim?
No. Roofing claims fall under act-of-God events, which insurance cannot legally penalize you for.
Your rates are based on your ZIP code’s total storm losses — not your individual claim.
