Will you drive out to Mount Ida?
Yes. Mount Ida sits west of Hot Springs on Highway 270, about an hour from our shop at 209 Albert Pike. Plenty of roofers will not make that drive. We will.
Montgomery County is rural, and that is exactly why people here get ignored. Your inspection and estimate are free anyway.
Do rural jobs cost more out here?
No. Free inspections and free estimates apply in Mount Ida the same as in town. The drive is our problem to solve, not something we add to your bill.
One thing helps us. Tell us about your driveway when you call.
| What we ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Driveway length and grade | We bring the right truck |
| Turnaround room | Dump trailers need space |
| Overhanging trees | Tall loads need clearance |
| Gate or locked access | We plan arrival time |
Answer those, and we show up ready the first time.
What roof works best in Montgomery County?
Metal, for most homes out here. The county is deep in the Ouachita National Forest, and trees hang over almost everything. Limbs fall. Wet leaves sit.
A metal roof shrugs that off and lasts 40 to 70 years. When you live an hour from town, a roof you never think about is worth a lot.
We also install shingle roofs when that is the better fit for your house and budget.
Do you roof cabins around Lake Ouachita?
Yes. Lake Ouachita has cabins and weekend places, and many owners live somewhere else. That makes photos matter.
We document what we find and what we do. You see the roof without making the drive.
How fast can you respond to a leak?
Slower than in town, but we come. Call 501-359-5550 and tell us water is getting in. Active leaks move to the front.
We can tarp the roof to stop the damage while we schedule the real fix. See roof repair and leak repair.
What about storm and hail damage?
Same as anywhere in the Ouachitas. Hail and wind hit Montgomery County too, and insurance often pays for the damage.
We inspect free and meet your adjuster. Read hail damage repair and storm damage repair. We also handle gutters and siding.
Are you a licensed Arkansas roofer?
Yes. Arkansas Roofing License RR0540931024 and Home Improvement License 0378510824. Over 20 years, 500 plus projects, 20 trained people, and a 4.9 rating.
We also work in Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, and Malvern.

Mount Ida roofing questions
Will you actually drive out to Mount Ida?
Yes. Mount Ida is west of Hot Springs on Highway 270, about an hour from our shop at 209 Albert Pike. A lot of roofers will not make that drive for a rural job. We will, and the inspection and estimate are still free.
Do you charge extra for rural Montgomery County jobs?
No. Inspections and estimates are free out here, same as in town. The drive is our problem, not yours. What we do ask is that you tell us about the driveway when you call, so we bring the right truck and equipment the first time.
Is a metal roof a good idea near Lake Ouachita?
Usually yes. Montgomery County is heavily wooded, and metal handles falling limbs and wet debris better than shingles do. Metal also lasts 40 to 70 years, which matters when you live far from town and do not want a crew back every 15 years.
How long will it take to get someone out here?
Longer than in town, but not long. We plan Mount Ida trips so a crew is not driving back and forth every day. If water is coming in, call 501-359-5550 and say so. Active leaks get moved up, and we can tarp the roof to stop the damage.
Do you roof cabins and weekend places out here?
Yes. Lake Ouachita has cabins and second homes, and many owners are not around much. We photograph everything we find and everything we do, so you can see the roof without making the drive. We can report by phone or email.
