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)
City/county registration
Not checked for AbileneTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.

From the initial estimate to the final inspection, everything went smoothly. The team was knowledgeable, responsive, and very professional. They completed the roof efficiently, paid attention to detail, and took great care of our home and yard. The roof looks beautiful, and we feel confident in the quality of the work. I highly recommend this company.

Had some shingles blow off my roof during a big wind storm we had recently. Called Bunton Roofing. They called right back. Set up an appointment to come out. Gave me a very fair number to fix it. Stayed in touch the whole time. Fixed it. Looks brand new. Great service
Just the way I like it. Didn’t try to sell me a whole new roof, just took care of business.
Highly recommend

Frequently asked
Is Bunton Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No Texas roofer is. Texas does not issue a state roofing contractor licence, so there is no state licence number for any roofer in the state. What you can check is insurance, association membership such as RCAT, manufacturer credentials and the BBB record. Bunton Roofing appears in the RCAT directory as a member and is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating.
What does the RCAT Member status mean?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Bunton Roofing Company appears in the RCAT directory as a Member, meaning it has joined and pays dues. That is separate from RCAT's independently earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL). Membership indicates industry participation and access to training, not a government licence.
What is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster and why does it matter?
ShingleMaster is CertainTeed's credential for shingle roofing contractors, earned through manufacturer training and testing, and it is the level that unlocks CertainTeed's enhanced system warranties. CertainTeed's own contractor profile records Bunton Roofing Co LLC as holding it since 2022, so it is verifiable at the source rather than being a claim on a website. Ask which specific extended warranty your job would qualify for.
Are impact resistant shingles worth it in Abilene?
West Texas sees plenty of hail and wind, so it is a fair question. Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 impact test and those shingles hold up better under hail. Many Texas homeowner carriers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, though the amount varies by carrier. Get the discount confirmed by your insurer first, then get the exact product name and rating written into the proposal.
Does the company handle commercial and flat roofs?
Yes, and this is one of its stronger areas. Bunton Roofing works hot asphalt built up systems, modified bitumen, gravel ballast, TPO and PVC single ply membranes, alongside metal panel systems such as R-Panel, U-Panel and corrugated. It also offers preventative maintenance programmes, which is what most commercial building owners actually need to keep a membrane roof under warranty.
How do I verify a roofer's insurance before signing?
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability and workers compensation, and have the insurance agency named on the certificate send it to you directly rather than accepting a forwarded copy. Confirm the policy dates cover the days your roof will actually be open. Bunton Roofing states it is fully insured for both residential and commercial work, but always confirm the current certificate yourself.
Can a roofer pay or waive my insurance deductible?
No. Texas law prohibits a contractor from paying, waiving, rebating or promising to absorb any part of your property insurance deductible. If a company offers to cover it, that is a warning sign rather than a deal, and it puts your claim at risk. Decline and get a straight quote instead.
Who handles permitting in Abilene and the Big Country?
Texas has no statewide residential building code, so permit rules are set locally. The City of Abilene has its own requirements, and the smaller Big Country communities and unincorporated Taylor County areas differ from each other. Ask the contractor in writing whether a permit is needed at your address and who is filing it, and confirm it with the local building department if you are unsure.
How does a hail or wind claim usually work?
You report the damage to your carrier, an adjuster inspects and issues a scope and estimate, and payment typically comes in two parts, an actual cash value cheque first and the recoverable depreciation after the work is completed and invoiced. A contractor who will meet the adjuster on site and document missed items is worth more than one who only quotes. Your deductible remains yours to pay.
What areas does Bunton Roofing serve?
Abilene plus a wide stretch of the Big Country, including Brownwood, Sweetwater, Breckenridge, Coleman, Cisco, Stamford, Winters and Merkel, with the company citing 30 to 40 surrounding West Texas communities. Because that radius is large, confirm your town is inside the normal working area when you request an estimate.
