About
Protex Roofing LLC appears on the City of Plano registered general contractors list at 2544 Tarpley Rd #106. Independent sources place that street address in Carrollton, Texas 75006, in Dallas County, in the Tarpley Road light industrial and small bay office corridor just off I-35E. The company has no findable website of its own, no Google Business Profile that could be confirmed, and no BBB profile under this name.
The domain that business directories associate with this company, protexroof.com, no longer resolves to a site of its own. A fetch of it returns a 301 permanent redirect to protexroof1.com, which is operated by a separately named entity, Protex Roofing & Construction, Inc., listing a Dallas office at 16135 Preston Rd along with a Carrollton address at 2544 Tarpley Rd. That is suggestive of a rebrand or a related company, but the entity names differ (LLC versus Inc) and no source read for this listing states the relationship outright.
The phone number carried on the Plano register, 214-989-5486, could not be matched to any published listing for this or any other company. A different number, 214-929-9979, is the one that appears on directory records for the Tarpley Road address and on Protex Roofing & Construction. Homeowners should treat this listing as unconfirmed and ask the company directly to identify itself, its current legal name, and its insurance before any work is discussed.

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.
RegionCarrollton
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 Texas issue a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no state roofing license and no state agency that licenses roofing contractors. Anyone can trade as a roofer here. That is why the checks that matter are the contractor's own general liability and workers compensation certificates, city registration where the city requires it, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT or a manufacturer certification.
What does registration with the City of Plano actually mean?
It means the company completed the city's contractor registration so it can pull permits and have work inspected in Plano. Plano's published list of registered general contractors shows only company name, address and phone. It carries no status column, no expiry date and no trade column, so it is not a statement that the registration is current today.
Why is Protex Roofing listed under general contractors rather than roofers?
Plano folds roofing into a broad general contractor category that also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign companies. Appearing on that list does not by itself confirm what trade a company works in, so the trade has to be confirmed from the company's own sources.
Is this company still in business?
That could not be confirmed. There is no working website under this name, no BBB profile, and the phone number on the city register does not appear in any published listing. The domain associated with the company now redirects to a different, similarly named entity. Ask for current proof of insurance and a current company name before proceeding.
What should I ask a Carrollton or Plano roofer before signing?
Ask for the certificate of general liability insurance and workers compensation with your address on it, sent directly from the insurer or agent. Ask who pulls the permit. Ask for the manufacturer's shingle warranty terms in writing, and the company's own labor warranty length. Ask for three local addresses of jobs completed in the last year.
Why does hail matter so much in Dallas County?
North Texas sits in the corridor commonly called Hail Alley, and hail is the dominant cause of roof claims here. Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are rated to UL 2218 and are the usual upgrade discussed after a hail event. Many Texas insurers offer a premium credit for them, though the credit and the rules vary by carrier.
Does a Plano registration cover work in Carrollton or Dallas?
No. Texas has no statewide building code administration, so permitting and contractor registration are handled city by city. A contractor registered in Plano still has to be registered and permitted separately in Carrollton, Dallas, Richardson or wherever the work actually happens.
Is a company that is not in the RCAT directory a problem?
Not on its own. RCAT membership is voluntary and many competent Texas roofers are not members. RCAT also runs a separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) that is not the same thing as plain membership. Absence from the directory simply means no RCAT record was found, not that the company is unqualified.
What is the difference between the RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed statuses?
A Member pays dues to the association. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is earned separately through RCAT's examination and experience requirements and is shown against a named individual with a license number. Do not treat one as evidence of the other.
How do I check that a contractor's insurance is real?
Do not accept a PDF forwarded by the salesperson. Ask for the agent's name and number, call the agency yourself, and confirm the policy is in force, that it names the contractor exactly as written on your contract, and that the coverage dates span your project. Ask specifically whether roofing operations are excluded, because some general liability policies exclude them.
