About
Ironside Roofing General Contracting LLC trades publicly as Ironside Roofing GC and is based in Gunter, Texas, in Grayson County on the northern edge of the DFW area. The company's own website gives a Gunter 75058 location, a direct phone line and a company email address, and states that more than 20 years of construction industry experience sits behind the business.
The published work is residential and storm led: new roof installation, roof repair and routine maintenance, storm and hail damage inspection, water damage restoration and full home remodeling. Coverage is described as North Texas generally rather than as a fixed list of cities, which fits a Grayson County base working south into Collin and Denton counties, including Frisco where the company holds a 2026 contractor registration. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with emergency service advertised outside those hours.
The registered address, 288 Bledsoe Rd, is a rural Grayson County property with a house, a barn and a workshop rather than a commercial roofing yard. That reads as an owner operated contractor working from home ground, which is normal and legitimate for a smaller North Texas roofing outfit rather than a sign of a mailbox address. No RCAT record was found via RCAT search, and the company's own site claims no manufacturer certification.

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.

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 Ironside Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a roofing licence, so no roofer in the state holds one. What can be checked is city contractor registration, which this company holds with Frisco for 2026, plus current general liability and workers compensation insurance and any voluntary industry credentials. Anyone advertising a Texas state roofing licence is misdescribing what exists.
Is the company an RCAT member?
We could not find a record for it through the RCAT directory search. That is reported as not found rather than as not listed, since a directory search can miss a record. RCAT membership and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL) are two different things, and neither is claimed by the company on its own site.
Does the company hold GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed certification?
None is claimed on its own website and we verified none. Note that an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor profile exists for a company called Ironside Roofing & Exteriors, but that is a separate business in Cumming, Georgia. Its credential does not belong to the Texas company.
Where is the company actually based?
Gunter, in Grayson County, about 25 miles north of Frisco. The registered address is a rural property with a house, barn and workshop rather than a commercial yard, which is a normal setup for an owner operated roofing contractor in that part of North Texas.
What areas does it cover?
The company describes its coverage as North Texas rather than naming specific cities, and it registered with the City of Frisco for 2026. For anything outside the immediate Grayson and north Collin County area, ask directly whether your address falls inside the working radius before booking an inspection.
Why does hail drive so much roofing work in Grayson and Collin counties?
This stretch of North Texas sits in what forecasters informally call Hail Alley. Spring storm systems regularly produce hail large enough to bruise asphalt shingle mats and dent metal, vents and gutters. Most replacements in the area begin as insurance claims rather than as age related renewals.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth paying extra for here?
Frequently yes. Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 impact test and many Texas insurers discount premiums for it. It resists hail bruising better than standard shingles without being hail proof. Confirm what discount your own insurer offers before committing to the upgrade.
Who pulls the permit for a re roof?
Whoever the city requires, and Texas has no statewide code enforcement so it varies. Gunter, Frisco, Van Alstyne and Sherman each set their own rules and Frisco requires the contractor to be registered before a permit is issued. Ask in advance who files it and whether a city inspection is included in the quoted price.
What should the contract spell out before I sign?
Shingle brand, line and colour, underlayment and ventilation, how rotten decking is priced per sheet, the workmanship warranty term, debris removal and magnet nail sweep, the payment schedule and the total price. Texas law also gives a right to cancel an insurance claim roofing contract within a set window if the claim is denied.
Does a roof in Gunter need windstorm certification?
No. WPI-8 certification and TWIA coverage apply only to the fourteen first tier Gulf Coast counties. Grayson County and the northern DFW suburbs are inland, so hail resistance, wind uplift at the edges and attic ventilation are the things that matter here.
