About
Bethel Roofing & Restoration is a family owned roofing and restoration contractor based at 1317 Timberview Dr in Allen, in Collin County, roughly fifteen minutes north east of Plano. The Better Business Bureau lists it with the alternate business name Tim Bethel Construction LLC and names Tim Bethel as president and owner and William Bethel as vice president. BBB records the business as having started on 26 July 2012 and incorporated on 3 February 2017, and it has been BBB accredited since 29 April 2013 with an A plus rating. The company appears on the City of Plano register of general contractors at the same Allen address.
The work runs wider than roofing alone. The company's own site lists roof installation, repair, replacement and restoration, gutter installation and repair, and storm damage work, alongside fire, flood, water and dry rot restoration, plus vinyl window replacement and kitchen, bathroom and countertop remodelling. It states that it works directly with insurance providers to move claims along, and that emergency roofing repair is available around the clock. Roofing materials named on the site include asphalt shingle, metal, tile, slate, shake, rubber and foam, together with flat roof systems, and the site specifically discusses impact resistant shingles for hail prone areas.
Allen and the surrounding Collin County suburbs sit well inland in North Texas hail country, which is reflected in the company's emphasis on hail damage repair and insurance claim assistance. The site states over twenty years of experience helping homeowners and businesses across North Texas and more than a thousand completed projects, and describes named service areas including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland, Carrollton, Addison, Dallas, Prosper, Lucas, New Hope and Lowry Crossing. No manufacturer contractor programme profile with GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed was found, so the BBB accreditation is the credential that can actually be verified here.

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 — Plano Check the register ↗Registered general contractor, City of Plano. Roofing companies register in Plano's general contractor category, which also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign work; it is a $100 annual registration renewed yearly, and the city's published requirements do not list proof of insurance or a bond. 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.
RegionAllen
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
Does the name Bethel refer to a religious affiliation?
It is the owners' family surname. BBB names Tim Bethel as president and owner and William Bethel as vice president, and lists Tim Bethel Construction LLC as an alternate business name for the same company. We found no faith based statement, mission or affiliation on the company's own website. So the name reads as a family name rather than a religious claim.
How long has Bethel Roofing & Restoration been in business?
There are two figures and they measure different things. BBB records the business as started on 26 July 2012 and incorporated on 3 February 2017. The company's own website states over twenty years of experience helping homeowners and businesses across North Texas, which reads as the owners' personal experience in the trade rather than the age of this legal entity. The BBB accreditation date of 29 April 2013 is consistent with the 2012 start date.
Where is the company based and which areas does it cover?
It is based at 1317 Timberview Dr in Allen, Texas, in Collin County. Its own site names Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland, Carrollton, Addison, Dallas, Prosper, Lucas, New Hope and Lowry Crossing among the areas it serves, and describes its territory as Collin County and North Texas generally. It also appears on the City of Plano general contractor register, which is what allows it to take permitted work inside Plano.
Is the company an RCAT member?
It was not found via an RCAT search. A search of the RCAT member directory for Bethel returned no records. RCAT membership is voluntary and paid for, so plenty of well regarded Texas roofers are not members, and absence from the directory is not a mark against a company. In this case the BBB accreditation, held since 2013 with an A plus rating, is the third party credential you can go and verify.
Does Texas licence roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence and no state roofing licence board, so nobody in Texas can hold one. What exists instead is city registration where the city requires it, general liability and workers compensation insurance, and voluntary industry credentials. Within RCAT there are two separate things: plain membership, which is a paid subscription, and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor designation (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which is tested. They are not the same and should never be treated as equivalent.
What does the company do about hail damage claims?
Its site states that it works directly with your insurance provider to make the claims process as smooth as possible, and it lists hail damage repair and storm damage restoration as core services. In practice that normally means inspecting the roof, documenting the damage, and being present when the adjuster inspects so that the two assessments can be reconciled on the spot. Open the claim with your insurer yourself rather than having a contractor open it for you.
What are Class 4 impact resistant shingles?
Class 4 is the top grade in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test. Those shingles use a tougher and more flexible mat that resists the bruising a standard shingle suffers when hail hits it. This company's site specifically discusses impact resistant shingles for hail prone areas. Many Texas insurers give a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, so ask your carrier what discount applies and ask the roofer for the manufacturer data sheet showing the rating.
Why is hail such a big deal in Collin County?
Allen, Plano, McKinney and Frisco sit in the North Texas corridor commonly called Hail Alley, where large hail is the leading cause of roof loss. Hail strips the granules that protect the asphalt and fractures the mat below, so the roof ages years in a single afternoon. Because that bruising is usually invisible from the ground, damage is often only found when a leak appears months later, which is why a post storm inspection is worth doing even when the roof looks fine.
Can one contractor handle both the roof and the interior damage?
This one says it can. Alongside roofing it lists fire, flood, water and dry rot damage restoration, plus vinyl window replacement and kitchen, bathroom and countertop remodelling. Using a single contractor for a whole loss can simplify the insurance paperwork and remove the gaps where one trade blames another. Ask for the scope of each part in writing, and confirm which parts are self performed and which are subcontracted.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in North Texas?
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance and workers compensation, sent to you by the insurance agent directly. Ask who pulls the permit, since permitting is city by city in Texas and Allen, Plano and Frisco each run their own process. Ask for the manufacturer warranty and the workmanship warranty in writing as two separate documents. Ask for recent local addresses. Do not sign anything that assigns your insurance claim proceeds, and do not sign on the first visit under time pressure.
