Masada Roofing, Inc. installs hundreds of new roofs each year in the Central Texas area.
Just some of our Happy Customers:
Dear Derek,
I just wanted to say thanks to Masada Roofing for my new roof.
For years, I had dreaded going through the insurance process to get my roof done, even though my house is 13 years old and has been through numerous storms. I guess I thought the insurance company would not replace my roof due to the age of the house and thought that I had to somehow wrangle an agreement out of them. Masada made the process extremely simple, pointing out the damage to the insurance inspector, and really just handling everything.
I’ve also heard horror stories about some companies not stripping down the entire roof for replacement, but that’s not the case with Masada. Masada discovered and replaced some rotted wood on the roof. Without that replacement, I would have been vulnerable to thousands of dollars in damage!
I live in a pretty big two-story house, and Masada replaced the roof in 4 hours. When they finished, everything was so clean; it was as if they weren’t even there.
My young daughter even picked out the new (lighter color) shingles, which look great! And not only did my insurance cover the cost of the new roof, but the new roof included ridge vents which are expected to save us money on our utility bills.
I would highly recommend Masada Roofing to anyone that even thinks they need a new roof, and I have. I cannot stress enough how simple and very professional Masada made the entire process. Everyone that I know that has used Masada Roofing has had the same great experiences as well.
Sincerely,
Rob and Jeri C
I am delighted to recommend Derek Foley and Masada Roofing, Inc. as my roofing consultant of choice. I’ve known Derek for over 5 years. He has done 2 jobs for my personal properties, and several more for my real estate clients and friends.
What places Derek above others in the roofing business is his integrity and determination to do all he can to satisfy his clients. Because of Derek’s proven protocol of successfully interacting with insurance adjusters, he has been able to obtain replacement for most all clients I have referred to him. It has been my experience that many times, the condition of a roof will make or break a sale. A bad roof can keep a client from obtaining homeowners insurance, and it can cause a buyer to walk away from an otherwise sound real estate transaction. He also understands and respects the timeliness in closing a sale.
I am happy to have Derek’s expertise and knowledge as close as a cell phone call away. He’s a good friend and an excellent business affiliate!

Dear Derek & Diana,
Once again you saved another sale. I really appreciate the high quality professional service you have provided both to me and my clients. In real estate you are only as strong as your team and I am proud to have Masada Roofing at my side.
Thanks,

As a Realtor in the Austin area for the past five years, I have had mixed experiences with a menagerie of vendors, much like other Realtors. Naturally, once we had had a positive experience with an individual or a company, we tend to refer them to others, as we now refer Derek Foley, Masada Roofing, Inc.
Negotiations during the Option Period of a contract are critical, and sometimes tense, for both the Buyer and Seller. Should the Buyer’s Professional Property Inspection Report reveal roof damage, suggesting repair and /or replacement, it is common for the Buyer to ask the Seller to complete the work, prior to closing and funding, and bear all or part of the cost, or possibly reduce the sales price accordingly.
As we know, this may intensify already elevated emotions. It takes a special talent to sit down with the Seller and/or the Buyer and rationally explain the options available. When damage is a direct result of Acts of God; i.e., wind or storm or hail damage, it may be prudent to consult with the Seller’s insurance to seek coverage under policy – or cover costs covered out-of-pocket.
For the contractual parties this maze of confusion, along with a possible closing delay, may further escalate emotions. Derek Foley handles these situations with finesse, lending his expertise of the roofing trade, and coupling his ability to work in a heart-felt way with folks who are already under duress. Explaining the different avenues available to them, along with the seemingly endless stack of mandated forms and approvals, Derek has circumvented difficulties and has still met our time-sensitive closing date deadlines.
Derek is forthright and honest. We asked Derek to view a property he had recently purchased. A previous inspection report revealed superficial roof damage, but we wanted a solid second opinion. He knew we were prepared to have the work done if necessary. Derek personally examined the roof, thoroughly explained his findings, and assured us the roof was in good order instead of fabricating a slam-dunk repair order.
We urge you to contact Derek at 512-431-4247 with your roofing questions and needs, and we remain confident you will be pleased, as we are, with Derek’s integrity and expertise.
Deferentially,
Angie P
Derek,
We want to thank you for all of the help that you provided during the course of getting our roof work underway and for seeing it through to a satisfactory conclusion. Your experience, advice and assistance was essential to having our rejected insurance claim reinstated and ultimately paid in full. Your communication and coordination at every phase of this process was timely and effective.
The roofing crew also conducted themselves as experienced professionals. They were efficient and courteous. They exceeded our expectations for attention to detail. They also completed the entire lob in one day, as scheduled, and they were careful to protect out property, as committed. We were so impressed with their work ethic and the quality of their work, we were pleased to offer them a gratuity.
Since the completion of the installation, a number of our neighbors have commented on how good the new roof looks.
As a result of all of the above, we are pleased to refer your services to others.
Sincerely,
Chuck and Pam F
This letter is a recommendation for “my roofer”, Derek Foley.
Last spring, (2001) Derek came to our home and noticed that our roof looked on need of repair. He started to answer my questions about our roof and the cost of replacing it. It was over $25,000. At the time, I thought it might need to be partially replaced, but I never imagined that it was in bad enough shape for my insurance company (State Farm) to cover me for a brand new roof.
It was a seventeen year old wood shake roof that had suffered through Texas’ summer heat. There was also an increasing amount of wind damage occurring along with very minor hail damage. I assure you, I would not have been successful in getting total coverage had Derek not represented my interests directly with the claim adjuster. He was tenacious, he understood the dynamics of the insurance claims business and was knowledgeable about roofing.
After climbing up on my extremely steep and large roof, Derek surveyed the damage, took thorough notes and reviewed the weather and damage history. He then met my insurance company claims agent, pointed out the specific areas of damage, reviewed the scope of work, and persisted in persuading them to replace the entire roof. In fact, he came by the house on numerous occasions to review and mark the location of the damage and importantly, to keep my wife and I informed about the process. We were both very impressed with his enthusiasm for the project and his professional demeanor.
As it turned out, we insisted that State Farm work with our roofer –Derek– and he provided a very competitive bid. Within a few weeks, roof construction started. The work was completed in less than two weeks and we couldn’t be more pleased.
We feel very comfortable in recommending Derek Foley, not only for the persistence he demonstrated, but for the way he handled the entire process. He not only started the job, he finished the job when he said he would. I would recommend Derek to anyone wanting a new roof and representation by a person that proved to be responsive and professional in all facets of their business.
Sincerely,
Frank and Linda Lane F
Dear Mr. Foley,
We wish to express our gratitude for your personal assistance and guidance with the estimate & installation of our new roof. While we suffered a very severe, frightening hail storm on March 25 with 2 1/4″ hail battering our roof, your work after the storm could not have been any better. Your representation with our Insurance Adjustor helped us to obtain maximum funds and there is no question that our claim would not have gone through with such results without your personal assistance. Your pre-work explanations of what was to happen in regards to the claim and actual roof installation was right on and you attended to all the details. And as you claimed, the roofers arrived at 9:00 am and were gone by 5:00 pm, with the area fully cleaned up and a beautiful new roof professionally installed (and that even included the work on our larger patio shed roof!). Again, we thank you and your team for a very fine effort and we wish you all the luck in your future business.
Sincerely
Ken & Judy K
We highly recommend Derek Foley and his roofing company. Our house was hit very hard by a hail storm 3 years ago. We dreaded getting the work done. Derek made it a snap. He came out and did an assessment, helped us choose the shingle colors, and made the entire process “EASY”.
Derek worked with the insurance company and saved us a lot of time and effort. The crew also did a great job — they arrived early, worked quickly and the job was finished in a day. And they did an excellent job with the clean-up (having worked with other contractors — this is important!) If you need a roof replacement — give Derek a call!

As you know, Clyde and I are on a fixed income so a new roof seemed impossible.
You said you could help us and knowing you as the person you are and a member of my Church, my husband and i knew we could count on you and your company.
You explained all of the details so we could understand each step to take. We did not even have to speak with the Insurance Company. You took care of everything. The roof was on in hours and no clean-up for us to do.
My husband and I want to thank you for all of the help and guidance you gave us when is was time for a new roof. We are especially thankful for you offering to continually check our roof when hail strikes.
May God continue to Bless you and your company.
Yours Sincerely,
Clyde and Alice M
Derek,
I just wanted to say thank you on this rainy day for my new roof. You and your crew did an outstanding job to fix the roof and repair the damage that was done. You went above and beyond the call of duty to do it so quickly after signing the contract as I was in need of an emergency repair.
You followed through with everything that you said you would do and made the process as painless as possible. All I had to do was pick the color of the new roof and sign some papers. You and your crew took care of everything and the house and the grounds were in better shape after you left.
I will definitely recommend you to my friends and neighbors.
Sincerely,
Cynthia R
We are writing this as a letter of recommendation for your roofing company. We were originally referred to Masada Roofing from a friend when our roof needed repairs.
We had received a bid from another roofing company that would not do the simple fixes that we requested. Instead, they suggested that we get the entire roof replaced by insurance. Skeptical, we contacted you for a second opinion. You gave us an honest assessment that our roof would not qualify for replacement, but you made the minor repairs that were needed. We really appreciated you saving us the hassle of an insurance claim denial, and taking the time to make minor repairs.
Several months later, when Austin’s major hail storm hit this Spring, we trusted your opinion and called you to assess the damage. Your employee determined that our roof had sustained major damage that would qualify for a total replacement. Throughout the entire process — from the insurance claim to the roof installation– your representative was professional, respectful, and attentive. He didn’t pressure us to spend extra money on unnecessary upgrades, but when we decided to make upgrades, he did his best to get us the materials for the best price. In the end, the job cost us less than we were expecting! You were also very patient and understanding when we ran into a delay with our insurance check.
Thank you for running your company in a professional, honest manner, and for being an advocate for the customer. These are qualities that are unfortunately absent in many companies. We love our new roof and will continue to recommend Masada Roofing.
Sincerely,
Sarah E & Damon C
Derek:
This letter will speak for itself, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Having to put on a new roof is an unpleasant task for any homeowner; however, you made the project seem simple and uncomplicated.
I cannot praise you and your staff enough from your knowledge and expertise of roofing to your staff’s professional and fast work. I have and will continue to refer Masada Roofing, Inc. to my friends, for I know they are as happy with their roofs as I am.
Where else can you find professional, quality service and a consultant/contractor that has a ” wonderful sense of humor” and a personality to match but with Derek Foley and Masada Roofing, Inc.
Best of luck to you and your company in your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Laura S
A good friend who was quite happy with her new roof referred Derek Foley to me during the 3 week rains of July 2002. I called Derek and requested he inspect the condition of my roof. He came the next day and informed me my roof was older but still serviceable. Four months later a major hail storm hit South Austin. Within a few days, I received a call from Derek inquiring if I wanted my roof inspected again. Grateful for the call, I gladly agreed. Derek’s diagnosis was that the roof was severely hail damaged and I needed a new one.
He gave me his fifteen minute visual presentation explaining what exactly needed to happen and how to accomplish it effectively and efficiently. I was quite impressed with the presentation and how attentive Derek was to my roofing needs. I quickly agreed, made one phone call to my insurance company and then he took charge. He quickly arranged a meeting on the roof with my insurance adjustor who instantly agreed that I needed a new roof and the financial arrangements were made between the two. All I had to do was pick a roof color and set a roofing date. Derek made the claims process so easy. Derek also made some good recommendations for energy and financial savings such as the roof ridge vents. The ridge vents also look quite nice. Derek seemed thoroughly knowledgeable of the roofing process and in other matters of home maintenance.
A few good weather days before the roofing date, a truckload of shingles were neatly stacked on my roof. On the actual appointment day, the crew showed up exactly on time and began their labor. They worked hard all day and by dusk, there was absolutely no trace they had been there except I had a beautiful new roof. I was in absolute awe of how smoothly this home maintenance project transpired and amazed at how Derek so meticulously handled every detail. A yard full of roofing nails is not what you want after a roofing job. His crew even used a metal detector to scan my yard.
Every time Derek is in the neighborhood he stops by and checks on the roof. We just had another hail storm the other day and I was hoping he would come by and check my roof. Today he did and the roof is in great shape. As a duplex homeowner constantly doing home projects, I have never met anyone as dedicated to the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. The after care treatment is unheard of in this day and age. Derek is a caring individual and a homeowner’s best friend.
Sincerely,
Donna W
