Hostetler Roofing

Preliminary research published, deeper verification in progress. What you see below is what we’ve sourced from public records, manufacturer directories, and the contractor’s own published claims — each line marked as either verified-by-source or pending. We’ll add insurance-by-phone confirmations, supplier-account verifications, and the phone-call rubric score as research continues. The Eaveside grade is assigned only after all of that is complete.

What we checked

• ✓Licensed and insured.Active state license #AR-0340400322, verified directly with the issuing board.
• •Insurance verified by phone.$1.0M general liability and workers' compensation, both verified by phone with the agent. Carrier names shown when published.
• ✓Real local office.Office at 7347 US Highway 278, Nashville, AR 71852 (Howard County, ~37 miles from Mena). Verified address.
• ✓Local-presence depth.Headquartered in an adjacent county with documented, ongoing service in this market. Legitimate operator with local roots, but materials are not pre-staged locally and response times are materially longer than in-market presence.
• ✓Clean public records.We check Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas state court systems plus county recorders for outstanding judgments or mechanics liens against the company and its principals. Result published with full release.
• •Real reviews, real customers.Reviews analyzed for velocity, language patterns, owner response, and cross-platform consistency. Detail shown when published.
• •Top-tier manufacturer certifications.No top-tier manufacturer certifications. Their warranty is the contractor's own, not a manufacturer-backed system.
• •Local supplier accounts.Local supplier accounts not yet confirmed. Will be verified by phone with the supply branch.
• •Warranty.Warranty terms shown when published.
• •The phone call.We call every featured contractor and score the conversation across communication, transparency, sales pressure, and willingness to provide insurance certificates and pull permits. Score shown when published.

Things to know

• Years in business: 43 years (current owner: 0)
• Public complaint records: No BBB complaints on file in the past 3 years. We use BBB as a public-records source for complaint history. We do not weight BBB accreditation status — it’s partly pay-to-play and is not a quality signal.
• Crews: in-house W-2 employees.

Eaveside grade pending. We grade every contractor against the same published methodology.
