Company Overview

Our company stands as the foremost roofing contractor in Texas. Without equal, our skilled roofing team bring decades of expertise in delivering roof replacement and repair services to the residents of our area. If you need a reputable roofing contractor, contact us!

“Ja-Mar” stands for James & Marlyn. James McKinney, our founder, has deep roots in the area dating back to when Austin was a small town. In fact, a contractor from the 19th century chose to pass on its customer base to no other company than Ja-Mar Roofing. The roofs we install have proven their durability, gracing numerous notable structures and residences in the greater Austin area for over 48 years. We began as a small, detail-oriented roofing service dedicated to our customers. Since those early days, we have strived to keep that focus. Reach out to us today! 512-441-8437 (Our number has remained the same for more than 48 years!)

I grew up in Bronte, Texas, a small town. As a child, I was mainly involved in sports. Our community was tight-knit, and everyone was familiar with one another. Bronte was a wonderful place.

My roofing journey began in 1992-93, thanks to my brother's encouragement after he found success in sales. Our roofing business thrived in West Texas for many years, before I sold my interest and moved to Austin, TX, a place I had always dreamed of being. In 2005, I acquired a fantastic roofing company that had a stellar reputation and rich heritage. Ja-Mar Roofing & Sheet Metal has transformed from a small Mom & Pop operation into a successful roofing enterprise serving customers throughout Texas. Nonetheless, we maintain the friendly customer service and precise attention to detail that has made us a household name in Austin since 1970.

I needed some repair work on the roof of my house. I had gotten three bids for the repair and I was most impressed with the one from Chris Mobley at JaMar Roofing. He was nice enough to have my son who lives in Houston call him after hours about the repairs needed. He was on time and did exactly the work stated on the bid. I would definitely recommend him and JaMar Roofing. Thank you, S. Cornelius

My insurance company couldn't give me specific referrals when I called to tell them I had a leak, they said to get it patched asap and gave me a couple names of companies their other customers had used. I called Ja-Mar because I recognized the name. Chris Mobley is one of the friendliest, down to earth guy I've ever met. His communication skills were superb, always kept me in the loop. I highly recommend Ja-Mar and especially Chris! As for the patch, he did an excellent job, quick, no fuss, no mess involved and he guaranteed me it will not leak.

I live in a really old house in Central Austin. The roof needed some major help (fascia, shake removal, decking, etc) before the shingles could be replaced. I contacted two other companies I found here on yelp with very good reviews to do the work, but communication was shoddy and in the end neither was able to complete the work. Drew from Ja-Mar showed up and was able to delivery a very competitive bid within a day and began the work within a few days. There was never an issue with communication as responses were prompt and Drew always kept me in the loop on where we were in the process. Their carpenter Amalio's work was top notch and the rest of the team was efficient and left absolutely zero mess. I highly recommend these guys and will be calling Drew the next time I need any work done.

The job was to have concrete poured (more added to existing patio) and an aluminum patio cover over all that. I had asked for no ceiling fan and lights to be installed. The patio cover is made by a company in Florida, semi custom design and shipped to companies like Ja-Mar.

I did a 3 payment option, 1st up front, 2nd after concrete, and 3rd on completion.

Blair Howell was the salesman for me. He had told me it would take about 3 weeks from start to end for the whole thing to get done. The concrete would have rebar in it, the contractor also said they don't use bags but mixing trucks to get the right kind of mix. About 3 days to cure. During that time, the order for patio cover would take about 2 weeks. Sadly, it took a month and half.

Two of my biggest issues is lack of communication and lying by Blair Howell. Blair had said rebar in concrete, none of that was ever in. I have video evidence of that. Second, they did use bags. Now while a patio doesn't have much load and doesn't really require rebar. Don't tell me one thing and do something else. Same goes for the bags instead of a mixer truck. Don't lie, just tell the truth.

About two weeks after the concrete was completed, no patio cover was put up. While they didn't initially give me a time frame, it had been two weeks; which ended about on a Friday. So a few more days go by into the next week, nothing. I hear nothing. So I call them up on Thursday. Blair said he couldn't hear me and would call me back shortly in a hour. Time goes by plus some and nothing. I call him again, no answer.

I call the office and talk to a secretary or front office person? He tells me Blair is there and ask if I can hold, few minutes later, Blair gets on and tells me that the stuff should be in next week and installed a couple days after.

Time goes by and yup, nothing. I call and this time he explains that the salesman, for the Florida company that deals with sales in the region had quit and the order never went through. It would be another two weeks.

So, um why didn't Blair call me up when he found out this information? Why does the customer have to call all the time to find out if they're being scammed off or not?

So, time goes by and finally gets installed. The installer had called me up, asking me about the location of the electrical to come out of the patio. Center (left to right) and center front to back was my choice. I also found out that they don't install lights and just run the electrical. (Sigh) Really? Can't Blair just be honest with me? What a big fat lair Blair Howell is.

So, I buy my light and install it myself.

Forgot to add, really, all they had to do was call me, keep me update, don't lie and the rating would be 5-stars. The cover is nice, no complaints, no issues with concrete either. Just communicate, people are understanding when things are beyond one's control.

These guys did a fantastic job. Jake came out and looked at what problems we were having, took some pics, and we had a bid within the week. These guys fixed what others couldn't. They had to fabricate a portion of the roof and locate panels to replace a couple of our 30 year old panels that were in need of replacement. Very professional and stuck to the schedule. Another great achievement is that they didn't disrupt our business at all. Great team at Ja-Mar.

Jamar and Denny Satterfield have been great to work with. Our new roof is beautiful. We had no issues at all and we are very happy with the job they did on our house.

Drew is the best. We love our repairs! He dealt with the insurance people all the way through the process, did the legwork to get more funding for unique circumstances like our steep driveway (increased labor) and kept us up to date on the status of adjustment requests for our unusually varied claim (it was not just the roof). Drew was never out of touch, and he came repeatedly to oversee contractors for various steps (roof, gutters, exterior paint, interior paint-high high ceilings). With additional damage discovered, and so many stages, and surprises, our project took a while to complete but we are happy with everything. The roof was fast, and done well, and so were the gutters. The paint, especially the interior, took longer to get right, but Drew made sure we were happy with the final results, even sending the painters to touch up places that were spotted in different lighting after it was dry. I'm so glad we worked with Drew, this guy has integrity and he never made excuses or dodged our calls when we had questions or concerns. Our house and our claim had a lot of obstacles and hiccups...and we were worried at times, but JaMar and Drew really pulled through and stuck with it. We would use them again!

I knew my roof needed minor repairs but I was not comfortable getting up there due to the steep pitch. Special thanks to Jake Landry from Ja-mar who came by on short notice to honestly assess the issues and fix them on the spot. He was 100% professional and I'll definitely be using Jamar Roofing in the future. Thank you Jake!

Jamar is aces! My house in Lakeway was damaged by hail and Ron at Jamar went above and beyond! He gave me an estimate, progress updates, and the crew not only installed a quality roof but did a great job cleaning up the construction site. I recommend Ron and Jamar roofing to anyone in the market for quality labor and materials, customer service and competitive pricing. Thanks guys!

Randy from Ja-Mar is about the nicest guy you will ever meet. He will take the time to explain everything to you in detail. We ended up going with a different company but we definitely appreciated Randy and the time he spent with us.
