About
Cen-Tex Roof Systems is a Central Texas roofing contractor based at 15110 N IH-35 in Elm Mott, just north of Waco in McLennan County. Despite appearing on the City of Arlington contractor register, this is not a Dallas Fort Worth company. Its phone, (254) 751-7700, is a Waco area code, its office and its work sit in the Heart of Texas, and its own site and chamber listings put it squarely in the Waco market.
The company handles residential and commercial roofing, roof replacement, seamless gutters and general remodelling including siding, windows, decks, patios and painting. Published material describes asphalt shingles, TPO, PVC and metal roofing systems, with metal called out as a particular strength. Its stated service area covers Waco, Elm Mott and the surrounding Heart of Texas counties of McLennan, Bell, Hill, Coryell, Freestone and Limestone, reaching communities from Hewitt, Woodway and Robinson through to Temple, Killeen, Belton, Gatesville, Mexia, Teague and Hillsboro.
The BBB records the business as starting on 1 January 1987, incorporating on 21 July 2009, and BBB Accredited since 20 February 2009, with an A+ rating and no closure alert. Anthony (Tony) LeNoir is listed as President. The company has been voted Waco's best roofer by Wacoan readers for twelve consecutive years and received Baylor University's Texas Family Business of the Year award in 2019. Texas has no state roofing licence, so ask for current insurance certificates 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 — Arlington Check the register ↗Registered contractor, City of Arlington. Arlington registers roofing companies in its general contractor category; its published dataset carries no registration number and no expiry date, and the dataset itself may lag by some months.. 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.
RegionElm Mott
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
Where is Cen-Tex Roof Systems actually based?
Elm Mott, in McLennan County, just north of Waco in Central Texas. Its office address is 15110 N IH-35, Elm Mott, TX 76640, and its phone is a 254 Waco area code number. It appears on the City of Arlington contractor register but it is not a Dallas Fort Worth company.
Is the company licensed by the State of Texas?
No Texas roofer is. Texas issues no state roofing licence. Trust is built instead on current insurance certificates, BBB standing, city registration and voluntary industry credentials. Cen-Tex Roof Systems has been BBB Accredited since 2009.
Is Cen-Tex Roof Systems in the RCAT directory?
A search of RCAT's contractor directory did not return a record for this company. A separate San Antonio business called Cen-Tex Roofing and Renovations Inc. does appear in RCAT, but that is a different company at a different address with a different principal, so do not confuse the two.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
They are separate. Membership means a company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL) is earned separately through examination. A member is not automatically licensed by RCAT, and the two should never be presented as the same thing.
What areas does the company serve?
Waco and Elm Mott plus the surrounding Heart of Texas counties, named as McLennan, Bell, Hill, Coryell, Freestone and Limestone. Named communities include Hewitt, Woodway, Robinson, Temple, Killeen, Belton, Gatesville, Mexia, Teague and Hillsboro.
How old is the business?
The BBB records a business start date of 1 January 1987 and an incorporation date of 21 July 2009, giving roughly thirty nine years of trading. Anthony LeNoir is listed as President.
Does hail matter as much in Waco as it does in Dallas?
Yes. Central Texas sits in the same broad hail corridor as North Texas and McLennan County sees regular damaging hail. Class 4 impact rated shingles, which carry the top UL 2218 rating, are worth asking about, along with whether your insurer offers a premium credit for them.
Can the company do flat and low slope commercial roofs?
Yes. Published material lists TPO and PVC single ply systems alongside metal and asphalt shingles, and commercial roofing is one of its named service categories.
Who issues the permit for a reroof around Waco?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and inspection are handled locally. Work in the City of Waco goes through Waco's own building services, while properties in unincorporated McLennan County or in Elm Mott follow different rules. Confirm in writing that the contractor pulls the permit.
What should I check before signing a roofing contract in Central Texas?
Ask for current general liability and workers compensation certificates and call the agent to confirm they are live. Get a written scope naming the shingle or membrane brand and line, underlayment, ventilation and flashing. Ask whether crews are in house or subcontracted, who supervises the tear off, the manufacturer warranty tier and the separate workmanship warranty. Do not pay in full before completion and inspection.
