About
Hatley Brothers II Roofing & Construction is a family owned roofing and general construction company at 1235 S Hampton Rd in DeSoto, in southern Dallas County. The business is owned by Ke'Elronn Hatley and reaches customers on (214) 744-1700. The name in some public records appears as 'Hatley Brothers ll', which is a transcription of the Roman numeral II. The company itself uses Hatley Brothers II, and also trades online as Hatley Bros 2.
The company describes more than thirty years in roofing and construction and over 10,000 completed projects. The scope is genuinely mixed rather than roofing only: alongside residential and commercial roofing, its public listings name interior and exterior construction, painting, flooring, countertops and retaining walls. It advertises a 24/7 emergency response capability for urgent roof problems, and its website sets out a range of warranty options from installer and labour warranties through panel, seam, material and finish warranties.
Hatley Brothers II has been a BBB Accredited Business since June 2000 and holds an A+ rating with the BBB serving Dallas and Northeast Texas, with a business start date of July 1995 on file. It should not be confused with Hatley Brothers Roofing and Construction LLC, a separate Dallas company on Seaton Drive with a different phone number and website. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so before signing, ask any contractor for current general liability and workers compensation certificates sent directly by the insurer.

Insurance & credential verification
Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionDesoto
Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.

Frequently asked
Is the company's name really 'Hatley Brothers ll'?
No. Some public registration lists render the name as 'Hatley Brothers ll' because the Roman numeral II gets transcribed as two lowercase Ls. The company brands itself as Hatley Brothers II Roofing & Construction, and shortens that to Hatley Bros 2 on its website and social profiles.
How is this different from Hatley Brothers Roofing and Construction in Dallas?
They are two separate businesses with similar names. This listing is the DeSoto company at 1235 S Hampton Rd, reachable on (214) 744-1700, owned by Ke'Elronn Hatley. A different Hatley Brothers roofing company operates from Seaton Drive in Dallas with its own phone number and website. Confirm by phone number and street address.
Does a roofer in DeSoto need a Texas state licence?
No, because Texas does not issue one. There is no statewide roofing licence anywhere in Texas. What you can and should check is current insurance, any voluntary RCAT credential, manufacturer certifications, and registration with the city where the work is being done.
Is Hatley Brothers II an RCAT member?
A search of the RCAT member directory did not return a record for this company, so we report it as not found via RCAT search rather than as unlisted. RCAT membership is voluntary and many long established Texas roofers are not members. Ask the company directly if the credential matters to you.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
An RCAT Member simply pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's testing and continuing education programme. The two are not equivalent, so ask a contractor which one it actually holds.
Why does hail matter so much for a DeSoto roof?
Southern Dallas County sits inside the North Texas hail corridor, where damaging hail is a regular seasonal risk. Hail bruises asphalt shingles by knocking off protective granules, which shortens the roof's remaining life even when it does not leak immediately. That is why post storm inspections matter even without visible ceiling stains.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles a good idea here?
For hail exposed North Texas homes they are often worth pricing. Class 4 products are tested against steel ball impact and resist granule loss and cracking better than standard shingles. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount, so ask your own carrier what discount applies before choosing.
What warranty should I expect on a new roof?
There are two separate warranties. The manufacturer warranty covers defects in the shingle or panel itself. The workmanship warranty covers the installation and comes from the contractor. Ask for both in writing, with the term length, what voids them, and whether the workmanship warranty transfers if you sell the house.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in DeSoto?
Texas has no statewide building code administration, so permitting is set city by city. DeSoto and neighbouring Dallas County cities generally require a permit for roof replacement. Confirm with the city's building inspections office and get it in writing which party is pulling and paying for the permit.
What should I ask a roofing contractor before signing?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurance agency, a written scope with the exact product and colour, the workmanship warranty term, whether crews are employees or subcontractors, who handles the permit and the final inspection, the payment schedule, and what happens to the contract if your insurance claim is denied.
