“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars for Brad Farr and Water Damage & Roofing! If you are dealing with hail damage, need a roof replacement, or just need a professional you can completely trust, Brad Farr is your guy. Brad came out to our property four different times to meet with the insurance adjuster. His knowledge of the insurance process is a massive game-changer for a homeowner. He has incredible rapport with adjusters, knows how the system works, and understands the critical details to look out for. Beyond navigating the insurance side, Brad is incredibly sharp, professional, and informative. He spent a great deal of time thoroughly explaining our options without ever being pushy. He gave us fantastic advice on everything from standard roof decks to ridge vents, easily calculated the financial payback amount for upgrading to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, and even gave us tips on shopping around for better insurance rates once the roof is completed. I cannot recommend Brad and his company highly enough. His customer service, industry connections, and expertise are top-tier. If you want a roofer who is highly connected, brilliant at what he does, and fiercely honest, call Brad! Christina”

“Mark Larson is stand up guy and an excellent communicator. I needed 3 new vents on my roof. He was able to make it out the next day to check it out. He took great photos from within the attic and drone photos of the roof and showed me exactly what needed to be done. Mark sent his guys the next week to get the job done. They did great work and communication was clear. I was impressed with them. You can tell this is a good company, and I would recommend Mark to family and friends for any roofing needs.”

“I had full confidence in Brad the moment I met him! He diagnosed our problem and sent Bryan out a couple of days later to fix it! We had arrived home after a trip to Baltimore just after Austin's last big rain and found some signs of leakage inside the dining room....turned out to be some nails that had worked loose. I am extremely grateful to my sister, Kay, who recommended his company, WDR. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants an honest, ethical appraisal and excellent follow-up!”

“Service, inspection, and feedback were honest and prompt. Every step of the way I felt I was dealing with a professional that was focused on my best interest. This went a long way with me and I really appreciated it for peace of mind. They inspected my roof thoroughly, determined that it wasn't time to replace, and didn't charge me anything on top of that! I also have two neighbors who have used these folks and they are very happy as well. I am happy to recommend them, good service and honesty is hard to find nowadays!”

“We needed a quick turnaround on a roof replacement and Brad at WDR went above and beyond to get it done. He supported us through the entire process. He also connected with our insurance to ensure everything was completed in a timely manner. It was a great experience and I’d highly recommend WDR to anyone looks to replace or repair their roof.”

“Brad from Lakeway Roofing & Water Damage inspected the roof at my Georgetown Texas property, I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and honesty throughout the entire process. Brad was very knowledgeable, punctual, and incredibly thorough with the inspection. He took the time to explain the roof’s condition in clear, simple terms and answered all of my questions without any pressure or upselling. It’s refreshing to work with a honest contractor who is straightforward and genuinely looks out for the customer’s best interests. I truly appreciate the detailed inspection and honest assessment. I would absolutely recommend Lakeway Roofing & Water Damage to any homeowner or investor looking for trustworthy, high-quality roofing services.”

“We recently had a new roof installed and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. A job that normally would have taken two days was completed in just one, without sacrificing quality. The team carefully chose a day with no rain and communicated any schedule changes promptly. A special mention goes to Will, who led the project. He was professional yet friendly, and I truly felt that every decision he made was in my best interest — almost as if my house were his own. That level of care and attention is rare, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind throughout the process. The crew worked efficiently, respected our property, and left everything spotless when the job was done. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for roof repair or replacement. Their speed, professionalism, and genuine care for their customers set them apart.”

“Professional, thorough, responsive, and kind! We called WDR to inspect an exterior roof leak, and Mark Larson texted back with an ETA. He arrived on time, evaluated the leak, and also inspected other areas of the roof for similar issues. He sent detailed photos and offered suggestions for addressing the problems and preventing moisture damage to our soffit. He spotted an area that needed attention and went above and beyond by taking care of it on the spot. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and WDR to anyone. Thank you so much Mark!”

“The Project Manager Mark provided us with complete information and details regarding our damage and what would be required to repair the damage. WDR’s estimate was fair, and they even did extra work with no additional cost. The repairs were completed quickly and on schedule, and we were very satisfied with the individuals who did the work, and with the job they did. I would definitely recommend WDR to anyone in need of such services.”

“Brad and his team were just fantastic. Very knowledgeable, fair and thorough. Because we live in Central Texas, I've had my fair share of roofs changed out. I'll only be using WDR for any future projects. Hopefully, I won't be needing the Water Damage part but I'm sure they would handle it with the same professionalism that I experienced with my roof.”

“We had an excellent experience working with Mark at WDR. He was thorough, professional, honest and responsive. Our roof leak was hard to identify and Mark took his time to find the source. I appreciated the use of technology and time he took explaining everything to me. Pricing was fair and competitive. The work done to repair the leak was efficient and careful (managed not to break a tile). Would highly recommend.”

“I've worked with all sorts of home repair related companies from HVAC and plumbers to Deck builders for upgrades and repairs to our Austin home. WDR was far and away the easiest and most professional to work with and made the experience of replacing our roof smooth and enjoyable. Can't recommend them enough!”

“Brad at WDR roofing has come through for me multiple times. After a hail storm he replaced the roof and took care of everything the insurance company needed. And then more recently when we were buying a house he inspected the roof and provided a report to the seller on the same day I called! I am grateful to have worked with Brad and appreciate his ability to be there when we needed him!”

“It is rare to find a company that doesn’t just meet expectations but consistently exceeds them. I recently worked with Austin Roofing Company and Water Damage, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. In an industry where "over-promising and under-delivering" has become the norm, this team is a breath of fresh air. The quality of the roof replacement and damaged structure repair is top-tier. You can tell immediately that they don't cut corners. Everyone and all material arrived on time and right on schedule , and the attention to detail was evident. It’s clear that they have refined their process to ensure the customer gets exactly what they paid for—and then some. A company is only as good as the person running it, and Brad Farr is the real deal. It’s clear that he sets a high standard for the entire team, proving that they take personal pride in every single project. If you are looking for a business that values integrity, delivers high-quality results, and actually follows through on its word, look no further than Austin Roofing Company and Water Damage. I will definitely be a returning customer and cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“Lakeway Roofing and Water Damage is an excellent company. I highly recommend Lakeway Roofing and Mark Larson. Mark ihelped me tarp patch my roof to prevent rain damage from a hole in my roof! He is very detail oriented and highly professional and did a great job. This is a company you can trust to get your work done successfully. Give them a call. God bless this company and Mark Larson and his family! I truly appreciate Marks help!”

“Mr. Ali came and checked our roof on 06/7/26. He did a great job explaining and making sure noting is wrong currently. He recommended checking again after 6 months.”

“After last week’s heavy rains, and all the blessings that came with them, I just want to give a huge shoutout to my go-to roofer. I’m genuinely grateful to have Ali with Lakeway Roofing & Water Damage - WDR taking care of my roof repairs. While several homes in my cul-de-sac were dealing with leaks, mine held strong, and that says everything. Thank you, Ali. Truly appreciate the quality work and peace of mind!!!!”

“Will Mayo and Danny at Lakeway Roofing & Water Damage did an excellent job taking care of our aging roof after we discovered a leak. The issue turned out to be worn seals around a few vents that were letting water into the attic. They were very professional, clearly explained what was going on, and fixed everything in under one business day. The cost was very reasonable, and they even sent before-and-after photos, which I really appreciated. I’m glad I called them out when I did, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing roof repairs.”

“If there were a sixth star, Ali from WDR would’ve earned it twice. I don’t usually leave reviews, but when a roofer basically parkours onto your house like a superhero and then teaches you Roofing 101 with the enthusiasm of Bill Nye, you write the review. Ali from WDR showed up, hopped onto my roof with ninja-level agility, and performed the most thorough inspection I’ve ever seen. I’m talking CSI: Roof Edition. He checked every corner, every vent, every skylight, and every sad little nail that was left exposed by the “roofer” who installed my roof less than a year ago. (Let’s just say… that guy and craftsmanship have never met.) Not only did Ali reseal every vent, skylight, and exposed nail with precision and pride, but he also sent me THREE incredibly detailed videos while he was still up there on me, like a live documentary reporter. He wanted to make sure I not only understood what was wrong, but also learned how to spot issues in the future. It felt like a personal masterclass in roofing, minus the tuition fees. And this man? Humble as they come. He spoke so highly of his partners at WDR, you’d think he was describing superheroes. He told me he’s known Brad, the owner, for yea”

“My son is a marine and is deployed to the Middle East. He has a house in Leander, Texas where there was a large hail storm. The storm damaged his roof and it needed to be repaired. My daughter-in-law found a company based on their good reviews. The company was WDR. Will was the project manager who reached out to us from WDR. From our first phone call Will was very nice and helpful. He was always available to answer questions no matter what time of day or night. My son’s time zone is 8 hour ahead of us so Will accommodate him by being available to him which made it 10pm for him. The care and respect he showed our family is immensely. You can’t buy that kind of service and it’s not shown by most companies. Will went over and above with us. He communicated with us weekly up until the job was done. I am will forever be great full for you and your company Will for helping my son through this time. He has a stressful job and you made this process so easy for him. You made us feel like family instead of a customer. God bless you Will.”
