About
J & H Roofing is a small roofing contractor recorded at 3708 Forest Lawn Drive in Balch Springs, in eastern Dallas County. The Better Business Bureau opened a file on the business in September 2019 and its BBB profile now carries no rating because the bureau marks the business as out of business. That status has not been contradicted by any company-published source we could find.
The company has no website we could locate. The only company-controlled page we found is a Facebook business page listed as J&H Roofing, Balch Springs TX. Because there is no About page, no services page and no Google Business Profile we could read, this listing is deliberately sparse. Several unrelated firms trade under very similar J&H and JH Roofing names in Austin, Ohio and Michigan, and none of those are this Dallas County company.
Homeowners in Balch Springs should treat this record as a registration trace rather than an active marketing profile, and should confirm current operating status, insurance and a working phone number directly before engaging anyone using this name.
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.

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.

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.
No. Texas has no state roofing licence and no state roofing board. Any contractor who tells you they are state-licensed for roofing in Texas is describing something that does not exist. Your real checks are a current certificate of insurance, references and city registration where the city requires it.
What does it mean that Dallas requires roofing contractors to register?
The City of Dallas requires contractors working in the city to register with the city under its code. Registration is an administrative filing, not a competency licence, and Dallas does not publish a licence number or an expiry date for registrants. It is worth confirming, but it is not a substitute for checking insurance.
What is RCAT and what does membership mean?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. It has two separate things. Plain membership means a company pays dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing. They are not the same and should never be treated as equivalent.
Is this company listed with RCAT?
We searched the RCAT member directory by surname and by city and did not find a record for this company. That means not found via RCAT search. It is not proof of anything negative, because many working Texas roofers are simply not RCAT members.
Why is this listing so thin?
Because we only publish what we could actually read on a source page. This company has no website, no readable Google Business Profile and only a bare Facebook page. Rather than pad the entry with guesses, we left the fields blank.
What should I do about a business marked out of business by the BBB?
Treat it as a strong signal to verify before you commit. Call the number, ask for a current certificate of insurance naming your address, and ask for two recent local references. If none of that checks out, move on to another contractor.
Why does hail matter so much for roofs in Dallas County?
North Texas sits in what insurers informally call Hail Alley. Hail is the single biggest driver of roof replacement in the Dallas area, far more than wind or age alone. It is the reason most roofing work here runs through an insurance claim.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in Balch Springs?
Often yes. Class 4 shingles are tested to resist impact better than standard shingles, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your carrier what discount applies before you choose, because the discount varies a lot between insurers.
Do I need windstorm certification for a roof in Balch Springs?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certification and TWIA coverage apply to the first-tier Gulf Coast counties. Balch Springs is inland in Dallas County, so windstorm certification is not part of the job here.
What should I ask any roofer before signing?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly by the insurer, a written scope naming the exact shingle line and underlayment, who pulls the permit, what the workmanship warranty covers and for how long, and whether the crew is employed or subcontracted. Get all of it in writing before any deposit.
