About
Tovar Roofing is a small roofing contractor based in Mesquite, in eastern Dallas County. Third-party business listings place the company at 1304 Virgie Joe Drive, Mesquite, TX 75149, and the phone number (214) 498-3237 matches the number carried on the City of Dallas registered-contractor record.
The company has very little verifiable web presence. No company website was found, and the listings that do exist (Yelp, Yellow Pages, Angi, Manta, BuildZoom) are directory pages rather than material published by the business itself. Because of that, this listing reports only what could be confirmed: the trading name, the Mesquite address, and the phone number. Services, founding year, ownership, materials and certifications are left blank rather than guessed.
Homeowners considering a small local contractor like this one should ask directly for a current certificate of general liability insurance, proof of workers compensation coverage if crews will be on the roof, and a written scope of work before signing anything.

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.

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.
RegionMesquite
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 is describing something that does not exist. Trust in Texas is built on current insurance certificates, city or county registration where it is required, voluntary credentials such as RCAT, and manufacturer certifications.
What does City of Dallas contractor registration actually mean?
Dallas City Code Chapter 52 requires roofing contractors to register with the city before permits are issued for work inside the city limits. Registration confirms the company filed with the city. It is not a competency test and Dallas does not publish a licence number or an expiry date for it.
Is Tovar Roofing an RCAT member?
No record for Tovar Roofing was found via the RCAT member directory search. RCAT membership is voluntary, so a company can be a perfectly legitimate roofer without appearing there. Absence from the directory is not a mark against a contractor.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
An RCAT Member is a company that pays association dues. The RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. They are not the same thing, and a contractor should not describe plain membership as a licence.
How should I verify a roofer's insurance in Texas?
Ask for the certificate of insurance to be emailed to you directly by the insurance agency, not forwarded by the contractor. Check that the general liability policy is current, that the coverage amount is meaningful for the size of your job, and ask whether workers compensation is carried for the crew.
Why does hail matter so much for Mesquite roofs?
Mesquite sits in the North Texas hail corridor, where damaging hail events are common in spring and early summer. Hail is the single biggest driver of roof replacement in the Dallas area, and most large roofing jobs here run through a property insurance claim rather than being paid out of pocket.
What are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and are they worth it?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steel-ball impact test. Class 4 shingles resist hail bruising better than standard three-tab or architectural shingles, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your own insurer what discount applies before deciding, because the saving varies by carrier.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Mesquite or Dallas?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting is set city by city. Both Mesquite and Dallas require permits for roof replacement, and Dallas additionally requires the contractor to be registered with the city. Confirm with the relevant city building department before work starts, and make sure the contractor pulls the permit rather than asking you to.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for a written scope listing the shingle brand, line and colour, underlayment, ventilation, flashing and decking allowance. Ask who pulls the permit, what the workmanship warranty covers and for how long, and what happens if the insurance carrier revises the scope mid-job. Never pay in full before the work is finished.
Should a roofer handle my insurance claim for me?
In Texas, only a licensed public adjuster may negotiate a claim on your behalf, and state law bars a roofing contractor from acting as both the contractor and the adjuster on the same job. A roofer can meet the adjuster on site and document damage, but you should be the one talking to your carrier about settlement.
