About
Clear Choice Roofing appears on the City of Arlington registered contractors list at 107 Trillium St in Lakewood Village, with Russell Lightfoot as the registered contact and 469-576-3304 as the registered phone. The Better Business Bureau holds a file on a Clear Choice Roofing carrying that exact phone number, and that file names Russell Lightfoot as both principal and customer contact. The contact is therefore an active principal of the business, not someone who only filed the registration paperwork.
BBB records the business as started on 1 June 2010, with the BBB file opened on 21 June 2010. The company is not BBB accredited and BBB reports it as Not Rated, stating it does not have enough information to issue a rating. BBB files the business under roofing contractors, siding contractors, gutters, commercial roofing and tile roofing contractors.
The published addresses do not agree with each other. The Arlington register gives Lakewood Village, in Denton County. The BBB file gives an apartment on Carrollton Parkway in Carrollton. A permit-data directory places a Clear Choice Roofing owned by Russell Lightfoot on Eagle Mountain Circle in Fort Worth. No company website and no Google Business Profile could be found for this operator, and the name Clear Choice Roofing is used by several unrelated Texas companies, including ones in Austin, Odessa and Denton. Because the three addresses conflict and none confirms the others, this listing carries no city and no county rather than publishing a location we could not verify.

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.
RegionLakewood Village
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 Clear Choice Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No roofing company is. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so there is no state licence number to look up for any Texas roofer. Trust in Texas rests on other things: current general liability and workers compensation insurance, city registration where the city requires it, voluntary trade credentials, and the company's own track record.
What does the Arlington contractor registration actually prove?
It shows the company is on the City of Arlington's registered contractors list, which is what a contractor needs in order to pull permits in Arlington. It is not an insurance check, a competence check or a quality rating. Arlington's published dataset carries no status column and no expiry date, so ask the company to confirm its registration is current before work begins.
Why is no city or county shown for this listing?
Because three separate sources give three different addresses: Lakewood Village on the Arlington register, Carrollton on the BBB file, and Fort Worth in a permit-data directory. Rather than pick one and risk publishing the wrong location, the fields are left blank. Ask the company directly where it is based and where its crews work from.
Is this the same Clear Choice Roofing I have seen in Austin or Odessa?
No. Clear Choice Roofing is a heavily reused name. There are separate and unrelated companies trading as Clear Choice Roofing in Austin, in the Odessa and Midland area, and in Denton, each with its own phone number and website. This listing is anchored to the phone number 469-576-3304 and to Russell Lightfoot.
Is Clear Choice Roofing an RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory returned no record for this company. RCAT membership is voluntary and most Texas roofers are not members, so a missing record says nothing about quality. It simply means we could not find one via RCAT search.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
They are two separate things and should never be treated as equivalent. A Member is a company that pays dues to the association. A Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's own testing and requirements. A company can be a Member without holding the credential.
How do I verify a roofer's insurance in Texas?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent to you directly by the insurance agent, not a PDF forwarded by the contractor. Check that general liability is current on the day work starts, check the policy limits, and check whether workers compensation is carried. Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers compensation, so ask specifically rather than assuming.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth it in North Texas?
North and Central Texas sit in the part of the country that takes the most damaging hail, so Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are a common upgrade. Many Texas home insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Ask your insurer what discount applies before you choose, because the discount varies by carrier and can change the maths considerably.
Do I need a permit for a re-roof?
Usually yes, and it depends entirely on your city. Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection rules are set city by city. Arlington, Fort Worth, Carrollton and the small Denton County towns each run their own process. Confirm who is pulling the permit, the contractor or you, and get that in writing.
What should I ask before signing anything after a hail storm?
Ask for the full company legal name and the physical address it operates from, a certificate of insurance from the agent, a written scope that names the shingle line and underlayment, the warranty terms in writing for both workmanship and materials, and whether the contract binds you if your insurance claim is denied. Never sign a document that assigns your insurance benefits to the contractor without reading it closely.
