Meet the Owner
Hopkins Custom Roofing was founded in 2020 by Jon Hopkins, a native East Texan who has been doing business in Gilmer since 2009. Jon served six years in the United States Air Force as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) instructor, where he learned the value of discipline, service, and attention to detail.
After completing his service, Jon continued building community-focused businesses by opening East Texas’ first CrossFit gym, CrossFit Citadel. He operated the gym for eight years before transitioning into roofing and construction in 2017. His leadership and commitment to integrity shape the foundation of Hopkins Custom Roofing.
Jon works alongside Jeff, also a native East Texan, who brings years of service-driven experience to the company. After a decade in the Dallas restaurant industry and starting his family there, Jeff returned home to Tyler to serve the East Texas community. When Jeff isn’t helping homeowners protect their property, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and five children.
Together, Jon and Jeff lead Hopkins Custom Roofing with shared values: local service, honest communication, and quality work done the right way.
Quality Service You Can Trust
Most homeowners know they need a new roof when they see spots or leaks in the ceiling, but there are other tell tale signs that your roof is needing repair or replacement.
Roof Inspections
Most roofing issues start small long before leaks or stains appear inside your home. Because hail dents, lifted shingles, and granule loss aren’t always visible from the ground, a professional inspection is the only way to truly understand your roof’s condition.
Our team performs thorough, honest inspections, documenting any damage and explaining exactly what we find. Whether your roof simply needs a minor repair or is showing signs of aging, we give you clear recommendations based on your goals, budget, and insurance eligibility.
For storm-related concerns, we also provide photographic evidence and guidance to help you determine whether an insurance claim is worth pursuing.
Roof Repairs
Small roof issues can quickly become expensive problems if ignored. From missing shingles and cracked flashing to storm-related leaks or wind uplift, our repair team addresses each issue with precision and urgency.
We diagnose the root cause not just the visible symptoms ensuring the repair truly resolves the problem instead of providing a temporary patch.
Our repairs are completed using high-quality materials matched to your existing roof, so your home stays protected and visually consistent. Whether your home was hit by a recent storm or you’re dealing with general wear-and-tear, we provide repairs that extend the life of your roof and protect your home.
Need a repair? We’re here to help. What’s the best way to contact you?
Roof Replacement
A roof replacement is a major investment, and we make sure it’s done right. If your roof has reached the end of its lifespan, suffered severe hail damage, or experienced repeated leaks, we install a completely new roofing system designed for the harsh conditions of East Texas.
We walk you through all your options from shingle profiles to underlayment upgrades and explain the benefits of each. Our replacement roofs are installed using premium materials, expert crews, strong warranties, and clean jobsite practices.
The result is a roof that boosts curb appeal, increases your home’s value, and provides long-term performance you can trust.
Your roof is an investment for your home and family. Book your free consultation today.
Testimonials
Jon went above and beyond for us. A few months after we got our new roof, we experienced a severe thunderstorm with straight line winds. Two of our skylights were popped open by the wind, and rain was pouring into the house. I called Jon, and he came quickly and got up on the roof in the pouring rain and dangerous conditions and put our skylights back in place. Amazing kindness, work ethic and integrity. I recommend him to everyone I know.
Jon is trustworthy, honest and always follows through to make sure the customer is satisfied. I highly recommend his services.
We met Jon the day after the 2019 straight line wind came through that devastated many homes in Huntington Park, including ours. Jon’s knowledge of what we needed was assuring to us. And he brought & installed blue tarps in the interim! We recommend him without reservation.
AMAZING in all aspects. Knowledgeable and professional from start to finish. They are very reliable and exhibited great input and communication. Their cleanup was immeasurable, as our property was left debris free. We received excellent service and value. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for great value and professional service.
Jon did a fantastic job on our home. He was in and out very quickly and did quality work with no call backs. We are extremely happy and would recommend him to everyone without hesitation. Thanks for a great job!
Jon is very kind & professional. He came for a inspection then patiently explained our options & the process of making a claim. His crew did a thorough job and finished in one day. We were also impressed with the walk-around just to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. It still looks solid after a couple of years and a few wild East Texas storms.
