About Bates Roofing
A Family Business Built on Honest Work
Bates Roofing is a veteran-owned, family-operated roofing company proudly serving Granbury and Hood County. We built this business on a simple promise: treat every homeowner the way we'd want our own family treated — with honesty, craftsmanship, and respect for your time and budget.
Owner Jacob Bates served his country before bringing that same discipline and dedication to the roofing industry. Jacob has years of hands-on roofing experience across Hood County and North Texas, and he's on every job personally — not just sending a crew. That means you get the owner's attention from the first inspection to the final nail.
When storms hit at 2 AM, we answer the phone. From full roof replacements to storm damage repairs and leak detection, our crew brings the same commitment to every job. We're not a call center — when you call Bates Roofing, you get the owner.
- Veteran owned & operated
- 24/7 emergency storm response
- Licensed & fully insured in Texas
- Drone-assisted roof inspections
- Insurance claim assistance
- Free, no-pressure estimates
