About
Jenkins Roofing is a third-generation family roofing and construction company that started in Grand Prairie in 1968 and has served the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex ever since. The business is registered as Jenkins Roofing Company Inc. and also trades as Jenkins Roofing and Construction. Its BBB profile names Todd Jenkins as chief executive and Teresa Jenkins as vice president, and records the business as accredited since 1992.
The company works on both residential and commercial buildings. Alongside roof replacement and repair it handles solar panel installation, exterior construction and painting, interior remodelling and outdoor living spaces, which makes it a general exterior contractor rather than a roofing-only outfit.
Jenkins holds GAF Master Elite status and has its own listing in the GAF contractor directory for Arlington, Texas. GAF limits Master Elite to a small share of roofers in North America and allows those contractors to offer its longest-running workmanship-backed warranties. The operating office is now at 1615 W Abram Street in Arlington, although the City of Dallas registration and the (972) 264-8091 number still trace back to the original Grand Prairie base.

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.

InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
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.
RegionGrand Prairie
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
How long has Jenkins Roofing been in business?
Since 1968. The company started in Grand Prairie and its BBB profile records the business as operating for more than 55 years, now run by a third generation of the Jenkins family.
Is Jenkins Roofing state-licensed?
No roofer in Texas is state-licensed, because Texas does not issue a state roofing licence. What can be checked here is the company's GAF Master Elite standing, its long-standing BBB accreditation, its City of Dallas contractor registration, and current insurance certificates.
What does GAF Master Elite actually mean?
Master Elite is GAF's top residential contractor tier. GAF states that only a small percentage of roofers in North America are invited into it, and Master Elite contractors are the ones permitted to offer GAF's strongest warranty options including the Golden Pledge. Jenkins Roofing Company Inc has its own listing in the GAF contractor directory for Arlington, Texas, so this credential is verified at source rather than only company-stated.
Is Jenkins Roofing an RCAT member?
An RCAT directory search did not return a record for this company. RCAT membership is voluntary and separate from the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, so a company can be long-established and well credentialed without appearing there.
Where is the company actually based?
The office is at 1615 W Abram Street, Suite 110, Arlington, TX 76013, which is in Tarrant County. The company began in Grand Prairie and its City of Dallas contractor registration is filed under Grand Prairie, whose 75050 area lies in the Dallas County portion of that city.
Which counties does the company work across?
Its published coverage is the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding North Texas, which spans Dallas, Tarrant and neighbouring counties. Confirm your specific address with the company before booking.
Do they do commercial roofing as well as houses?
Yes. The company lists both residential and commercial roofing, and it appears in the GAF commercial contractor directory as well as the residential one.
What are the opening hours?
The company's contact page lists Monday to Saturday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, closed Sunday.
How does hail affect a roof replacement decision in this part of Texas?
Dallas and Tarrant counties sit in North Texas Hail Alley, and hail rather than age drives most local roof replacements. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are rated to the top level of the UL 2218 impact test and many Texas insurers give a premium discount for them, so it is worth asking both the roofer and your carrier about Class 4 before choosing a product.
Does a roof here need a windstorm certificate?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certification and TWIA coverage apply only to the 14 first-tier Gulf Coast counties. Grand Prairie, Arlington and Dallas are inland, so no windstorm certificate is part of the job. Permitting is handled by the individual city instead, since Texas has no statewide building code enforcement.
