About Temple Roofing & Exteriors LLC
Hunter Temple has been working roofs in the Hot Springs area for about eight years. He started Temple Roofing and Exteriors a couple of years ago to run jobs under his own name, which makes this a newer shop in a market that absorbed real storm damage in 2023 and 2024. The BBB record is clean and the accreditation is current, and what customers have said on Facebook and through the Greater Hot Springs Chamber has been steady since he opened.
Hunter holds GAF Certified contractor status. It's not the top of the GAF ladder, but it's a real manufacturer program, which means the materials and workmanship on a GAF job carry backing beyond Hunter's word alone. For a business a couple of years old, that's a meaningful starting point.
What comes through in the reviews is a pattern of honesty about the scope of work. Customers mention specifically that Hunter told them what they actually needed, including cases where a repair made more sense than a full replacement. That's not the conversation every contractor is willing to have, especially in a market still working through storm claims. A roofer who'll talk you out of a job he doesn't think you need is building a business on repeat customers, not one-time storm work.
Hot Springs has had enough out-of-town operators come through in the last two years that a local contractor with a clean complaint record and a track record of recommending less work, not more, is worth paying attention to. When you call, ask Hunter to walk through what the roof actually needs before anything gets written up. That first conversation is where you'll learn the most about how he works.
