Blackbelt Roofing and General Contracting LLC provides residential roof replacements, insurance claim assistance, gutters, exterior repairs, and general contracting services to homeowners throughout Hutto and the surrounding Austin area. Founded by Jacob Rhodes and Brandon Gutierrez, the company was built by two longtime sales professionals who spent more than five years working together before launching a business focused on professionalism, clear communication, and quality craftsmanship.

After years of working in high-pressure industries, Jacob and Brandon saw an opportunity to create a contracting company that operates differently—one that treats every customer honestly, communicates clearly throughout the process, and never cuts corners on workmanship. That straightforward approach has become the foundation of how the company operates on every project, whether it's a full roof replacement or helping homeowners navigate a complex insurance claim.

The company name reflects the discipline and commitment to mastery that shape its work. Brandon Gutierrez is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt who also coaches a local class of approximately 50 students. He brings the same leadership, consistency, and attention to detail from the mat into the company's day-to-day operations. That mindset—focused on precision, accountability, and continuous improvement—has become a core part of the company culture and how the team approaches each project.

Licensed and insured, the company specializes in residential roofing and exterior work, with particular experience helping homeowners manage insurance claims from start to finish. You'll work directly with a team that understands the technical side of roofing and the communication side of making a complicated process feel manageable.
