By Matt Rush · Updated October 26, 2026 Aaron M. I recently used Different Roofing to install two turbine vents on my roof, and I was extremely impressed with their work. They showed up on time, did quality work, and even corrected a few additional issues they found along the way without trying to upsell me. What really stood out was their honesty, professionalism, and pricing. I received several quotes, and Different Roofing came in significantly lower than the competition while still delivering excellent workmanship. It’s hard to find contractors these days that are both affordable and dependable, but these guys absolutely delivered. Highly recommended! FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Reviews Michelle M.

Travis at Different Roofing is an experienced, professional, informative, responsive, efficient, and prepared roofer. Following some hail damage to my home in Plano, he came out quickly and was transparent through the whole process of inspecting and repairing my roof. He would give me a heads up on what was gonna happen at each step. He also advocated for me and gave helpful suggestions to get my home insurance reduced because of the higher quality roof that he installed. His team even killed a wasps nest for me that they found. The whole experience was painless, and I never felt pressured at any point in the process. What I really appreciate was that he was patient and respectful with me the whole time, even as I took my time to make decisions or when other things came up that delayed my responses.
