About Hostetler Roofing

Hostetler Roofing's office at 7347 US Highway 278 in Nashville, Arkansas sits about 80 miles east of Idabel, putting McCurtain County squarely inside the company's documented cross-border service area. Hostetler has been at this location since 1983. Merle Kropf is Owner; his son Trevor runs day-to-day operations as General Manager. The team is licensed in both Arkansas and Oklahoma, with the OK CIB Residential Roofing Endorsement currently in process.

The credentialing is broad. Hostetler is factory-certified with IB Roof Systems on the commercial PVC side, an Approved ALDO Applicator carrying the Premier ALDO Roof Coating Contractor designation, and a Reed's Metals partner on the metal side. The crew working under Trevor includes Zac Miller as Commercial Roof Specialist and residential specialists Alex Valladares and Joel Betancort. BBB A+ accredited since December 2009.

The review record points specifically at the kind of work McCurtain County needs. After the November 2022 EF3-EF4 Idabel tornado and the November 2024 event between Idabel and Broken Bow, the area's homeowners need crews who can handle full restoration, not just shingle swaps. Hostetler's customer reviews include tornado- and tree-damage repair work, and the live Google profile shows 4.9 stars across 326 reviews. Jim Lucas's metal-roof replacement review credits the crew with walking him through expected substructure issues and explaining the best path forward. Deborah W. described tornado- and tree-damaged repair work as "reasonably priced."

For homeowners weighing options, Hostetler offers free inspections and financing through Hearth, with prequalification that doesn't impact credit score.

  • 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.
  • Top-tier manufacturer certifications.Certified at the top tier with IB Roof Systems Factory-Certified, ALDO Coatings Premier ALDO Roof Coating Contractor, Reed's Metals Authorized Contractor — meaning the manufacturer audited their installs and stands behind their warranty.
