Red Rover Roofing, a family-owned roofing company in Williamson County, Tennessee, was founded by retired U.S. Army Captain Courtney Hostetler and her husband Alex. The company combines nearly a decade of storm damage restoration experience with military-grade operational discipline, and a personal mission rooted in one family's firsthand struggle with the insurance claims process.

Why it matters

Red Rover Roofing addresses a gap in the roofing industry by offering homeowners full-service storm damage restoration and insurance claim assistance under one roof, backed by credentials that include Xactimate Level 2 Certification, CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator status, and Tennessee Home Improvement License.

The details

Alex Hostetler entered the roofing and construction industry in Houston, Texas, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. During that same period, he unknowingly purchased a home with severe hidden mold and water damage – and spent more than nine months fighting his own insurance company to get a fair settlement. That experience became the foundation for everything Red Rover stands for. Co-founder Courtney Hostetler, a retired Army Captain, brings operational discipline to the company, translating her military logistics background into project management, scheduling precision, and accountability on every job.

  • Red Rover Roofing was founded in Spring Hill, Tennessee in 2026.
