Glacier Home Exteriors holds certifications from both of the top shingle manufacturers in North America — GAF and Owens Corning. This dual certification is rare. Most roofing companies hold one certification or neither. What does this mean for you? Access to enhanced warranty programs from both manufacturers, including GAF System Plus warranties up to 50 years and Owens Corning Platinum Protection limited warranties. It also means our installers have been factory-trained and vetted by both companies, so your roof is installed to the highest standards regardless of which brand you choose.
Our team brings over 40 years of combined roofing experience to every job. We have deep knowledge of Central Texas weather patterns, local building codes, and HOA requirements across the Waco area. That experience means we know which materials perform best in our climate, how to properly ventilate attics for Texas heat, and how to navigate the permitting process efficiently so your project stays on schedule.

GAF Timberline HDZ is America’s number one selling shingle for good reason. It features LayerLock technology for a strong, flat seal against wind uplift and is available with Class 4 impact resistance ratings for maximum hail protection. Timberline HDZ shingles come in a wide color selection to match any home style and are backed by a 50-year limited warranty. As a GAF Certified contractor, Glacier can offer enhanced warranty coverage that most roofers cannot.
Owens Corning Duration shingles feature patented SureNail Technology, which provides a reinforced nailing zone for 130 MPH wind resistance. TruDefinition color options give your roof a rich, dimensional look with vibrant color depth. Duration shingles come with a strong warranty program, and as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Glacier can offer upgraded warranty options not available through non-certified installers.
CertainTeed Landmark shingles are a budget-friendly premium option for homeowners who want high quality without the top-tier price tag. These architectural shingles feature dual-layer construction for a dimensional appearance and come in a good range of colors. Landmark shingles offer solid performance and a competitive warranty, making them a popular choice for Waco homeowners looking for value.
For homeowners who want the longest-lasting roof possible, Glacier installs standing seam and metal tile roofing systems. Metal roofs offer a 50+ year lifespan, excellent hail resistance, and superior energy efficiency in the Texas heat. They are a smart long-term investment for Central Texas homes and can significantly reduce cooling costs during our hot summers.
Not all roofing companies are the same. Here is how Glacier Home Exteriors stands apart from other roofers in the Waco area:
Central Texas averages 4 to 6 major hail storms per year. Hail impacts damage shingles by cracking them, dislodging granules, and creating weak spots that lead to leaks over time. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground after a storm, hidden hail damage can shorten its lifespan significantly. Glacier offers free hail damage inspections after every major storm event in the Waco area.
Straight-line winds and severe thunderstorms can peel back shingles, lift edges, and expose the underlayment beneath. Once the underlayment is exposed, your roof is vulnerable to water intrusion. Wind damage often starts at the edges and ridges of the roof where shingles are most susceptible to uplift.
Waco regularly sees temperatures above 100 degrees during the summer months. Prolonged extreme heat breaks down asphalt shingles faster than in cooler climates, causing accelerated granule loss and making shingles brittle and prone to cracking. This is why proper material selection and ventilation are critical for roof longevity in Central Texas.
Without proper attic ventilation, heat builds up in your attic space and bakes the underside of your shingles. Poor ventilation can reduce shingle lifespan by as much as 30 percent. Glacier evaluates your attic ventilation on every roof inspection and recommends improvements when needed to protect your investment.
After major hail events, out-of-town roofing crews flood into Waco offering cheap, fast roof replacements. These storm chasers often do shoddy work using subpar materials, then disappear before problems surface. They typically offer no real warranty support because they have no local presence. Always choose a locally owned and operated roofing company like Glacier that will be here for years to come.
A new asphalt shingle roof in Waco typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000, depending on the size of your home, the roofing material you choose, and the complexity of your roof design. Metal roofing and premium shingle options will cost more. Glacier provides free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what your project will cost before any work begins. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
Yes. Glacier provides full insurance claim assistance at no extra cost to homeowners. Our process starts with a free storm damage inspection of your roof. If we find damage, we document everything with detailed photos and measurements, coordinate the adjuster meeting at your property, and support you through the entire claim process from inspection to settlement. We work with all major insurance carriers.
Most residential roof replacements in the Waco area are completed in 1 to 2 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may take an additional day. Glacier coordinates scheduling to minimize disruption to your daily routine and keeps you informed of progress throughout the project.
For maximum hail protection in Central Texas, we recommend GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with Class 4 impact resistance or metal roofing. Class 4 rated shingles are tested to withstand impacts from 2-inch steel balls dropped from 20 feet and may qualify you for insurance premium discounts. Metal roofing offers the highest level of hail resistance available and can last 50 years or more.
Signs of hail damage include missing or displaced granules on shingles, dents or bruises in shingle surfaces, cracked or broken tiles, and damage to gutters, vents, or flashing. However, hail damage is often difficult to see from the ground. Glacier offers free roof inspections after storms so you can know for certain whether your roof has been damaged.
