About
A Star Roofing of Texas is a small family run roofing contractor based on Circle Drive in North Richland Hills, in Tarrant County. The company brands itself as "A Star Roofing of Texas", written as two separate words with no hyphen, and that spelling is consistent across its own website, its GAF contractor listing, its Better Business Bureau file and its Yelp and Instagram profiles. The leading "A" is part of the name rather than an alphabetical listing device.
James Lesjak, the contact on the Arlington contractor register, is the owner. The BBB file records him as "Mr. James (Jimbo) Lesjak, Owner/Manager", and the company describes itself as a father and daughter team. Lesjak worked in roofing for more than a decade before starting this business, which the BBB records as commencing on 13 June 2023 and incorporating on 16 August 2023.
The company is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, accredited since 13 December 2023, and it is listed as a GAF Certified contractor on GAF's own contractor locator, which allows it to offer the GAF System Plus limited warranty on qualifying roof systems. Work covers inspections, repair, storm damage and full replacement, mainly across North Richland Hills, Keller, Colleyville, Bedford and the wider Fort Worth side of the metroplex.

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 — 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.
RegionNorth Richland Hills
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 A Star Roofing of Texas state licensed?
Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so no Texas roofer holds one. The company's website refers to a general contractor's licence, which in this part of Texas means city level contractor registration rather than a state credential. The verifiable checks are its GAF certification, its BBB accreditation, current insurance certificates, and registration with the city issuing your permit.
What does GAF Certified actually mean?
GAF Certified is the entry tier of GAF's contractor programme. It confirms the roofer is registered with GAF and can offer the GAF System Plus limited warranty on qualifying systems. It sits below GAF Master Elite. A Star Roofing of Texas appears on GAF's own contractor locator at the Certified level, so this is verified rather than company stated.
Is the company in the RCAT directory?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory for "A Star Roofing" returned no record when this listing was researched in August 2026. RCAT membership is voluntary and separate from the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, and plenty of accredited Texas roofers are in neither. Ask the company directly if trade association membership matters to you.
How new is the business?
The BBB file records the business as started on 13 June 2023 and incorporated on 16 August 2023, so it is roughly three years old. The owner worked in roofing for over a decade before that. A young company with an experienced principal is common in this trade, and it is a fair thing to ask about when you compare bids.
What does the City of Arlington registration cover?
It registers the company to pull permits and request inspections in Arlington. The Arlington register publishes the company name, address, a contact person, a phone number and a contractor category. It publishes no status and no expiry date, so read it as evidence of registration and nothing more.
Should I put impact resistant shingles on a Tarrant County roof?
Tarrant County sits squarely in the North Texas hail belt. A Class 4 impact rated shingle is tested against a two inch steel ball dropped from twenty feet and most Texas insurers offer a premium credit for one. Ask both your roofer for the price difference and your insurer for the size of the discount, then compare the two.
How should I check insurance before signing?
Ask for the certificate of insurance to come to you directly from the insurance agency rather than from the contractor, and check that both general liability and workers compensation are current for the whole period of your job. Texas does not compel roofers to carry workers compensation, so confirm it rather than assume it.
Who pulls the permit in North Richland Hills or Arlington?
Texas has no statewide building code, so requirements are set by each city. In most Tarrant County cities the roofing contractor pulls the permit, which is why the company has to be registered with that city first. Get in writing who is pulling the permit and that the final inspection is included.
What happens on a hail insurance claim?
You file with your own insurer, an adjuster inspects, and the carrier issues a scope and pays replacement cost less depreciation and your deductible. A contractor may attend the inspection, but the settlement is between you and your insurer. In Texas a contractor cannot act as a public adjuster on a job it is bidding, and offering to absorb or waive your deductible is fraud.
What should I ask before signing?
Ask for the written scope covering underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the per sheet price for replacing rotten decking, the exact shingle line and colour, the length of the workmanship warranty and who honours it, whether the GAF System Plus warranty is being registered on your job, the payment schedule, and a certificate of insurance sent by the agent.
