About
Armored Roofing and Solar operates out of Arlington, Texas, at 3105 W Arkansas Ln, and serves the wider Dallas and Fort Worth area. The Better Business Bureau records the company as incorporated on 27 February 2025 and starting business on 20 March 2025, with Austin Kimball as managing member. It is BBB accredited and carried an A rating as of July 2026, which is a meaningful data point for a company barely a year old, since accreditation requires an application and a complaint history review rather than simply claiming a listing.
The roofing side covers repair, full replacement, storm damage work, roof inspections, metal roofing and flat roofing. Solar is a real service line rather than a name, in the sense that the company runs a dedicated solar panel installation page on its own site describing a consultation and energy use assessment before design. Worth noting for balance that the BBB profile categorises the business under roofing and general contracting only, so treat the solar capability as company stated. The company also advertises general contracting adjacent work including gutters, siding, windows, fencing, decks, remodelling and foundation repair.
North Texas roofing is hail driven, and a company that sells both roofing and solar should be able to explain how panel mounting interacts with the roof warranty and what happens to a solar array when hail takes the roof underneath it. That is a fair question to put to any roofing and solar contractor before signing.

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 — Frisco #R25-1841Check the registry ↗Contractor registration, City of Frisco, first registered 16 July 2025. Confirmed against the city register. The city does not publish an expiry date for these registrations, so ask the company to confirm its registration is still current.
RegionArlington
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 Armored Roofing and Solar licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas issues no state roofing licence, so no Texas roofer holds one. The checks that do exist are current general liability and workers compensation insurance, registration with the city where the work takes place, BBB accreditation, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT.
Does the company appear in the RCAT directory?
No record was found under this name via an RCAT directory search. An RCAT search on the word Armored returns two unrelated Wichita Falls companies. RCAT membership is voluntary, so an absent record says nothing negative about a contractor.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Membership means paying dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, awarded as CRRL, RRL or CRL, is earned separately through RCAT's testing program. They should never be presented as the same standing.
What does BBB accreditation actually tell me?
It means the business applied to the BBB, met its standards and agreed to respond to complaints through the BBB process. It is a voluntary paid programme, not a government approval, but the rating does reflect complaint history, so it is worth reading the profile rather than only the letter grade.
How does hail affect roofs in Arlington and the wider metroplex?
North Texas takes some of the most frequent damaging hail in the United States. Stones bruise the asphalt mat, which shortens shingle life without necessarily causing an immediate leak. Most full replacements across Tarrant, Dallas and Collin counties follow a storm rather than simple wear.
Should I choose Class 4 impact resistant shingles?
Class 4 is the top result in the UL 2218 impact test and those shingles resist hail cracking better than standard products. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, so ask your own carrier what credit applies before you pick a product.
How do solar panels and a roof replacement interact?
Panels are mounted through the roof covering, so ask any roofing and solar contractor how penetrations are flashed, whether the roof manufacturer's warranty survives the mounting method, and what the cost is to detach and reset an array if the roof is later replaced under a hail claim.
Do solar panels survive Texas hail?
Most modern panels are tested against hail impact, but coverage after a storm depends on your homeowner or dedicated policy and on how the array is mounted. Confirm with your insurer how a roof mounted array is covered before installation, not after a storm.
Who is responsible for the permit?
Normally the contractor. Texas has no statewide building code administration, so each city sets its own rules and most North Texas cities require the roofer to be registered with the city before a permit is issued. Confirm the requirement with your city's building inspections department.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for the certificate of insurance direct from the agent with you named as certificate holder, ask whether crews are employees or subcontractors, ask for the workmanship warranty length in writing separately from the manufacturer warranty, and never accept an offer to waive or absorb your deductible, which is not legal in Texas.
