About
DK General Construction & Roofing is a family run roofing and remodeling contractor based in Alvarado, in Johnson County south of Fort Worth. The BBB file records the business as starting on 12 February 2008 and incorporating on 12 October 2017, and lists it as a BBB Accredited Business since 1 November 2014. Danny J. Clampitt is named on the BBB file as manager, which matches the contact recorded on the Arlington contractor register.
The work splits between roofing and general construction. On the roofing side the company lists composite shingle roofs, hail and wind damage repair, attic ventilation and ridge vents, flashing, gutters, and skylights and solar tubes. On the construction side it lists kitchen and bathroom remodeling, staining and painting, room additions and home building, and the BBB categorises it across building contractors, roofing, concrete, framing, window installation and custom home building.
Its own site names Alvarado, Midlothian, Keene, Cedar Hill and Gainesville among the places it works, and describes itself as a North and East Texas roofer. This is hail country, so ask about impact resistant Class 4 shingles and check any premium discount with your own insurer. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so verify current general liability insurance and workers compensation before work starts.

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.

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 this company licensed by the State of Texas?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence, so nobody roofing in Texas holds one. Check current general liability insurance, workers compensation, city registration where required, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT status or a manufacturer certification instead.
The website shows a State of Texas Registered Builder number. Is that a licence?
No. It is a builder registration number the company displays itself, not a roofing licence and not a competence check by any state regulator. Texas does not licence roofers. Judge the company on insurance, references, warranty terms and its BBB record instead.
Does the company appear in the RCAT directory?
Not found via RCAT search. A search of web.rcat.net for DK General returned no records. RCAT membership is voluntary, so absence is not a negative finding, it simply means there is no RCAT credential to report.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Member means the company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's own testing. The two are not equivalent and neither is a government licence.
Is the CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster credential verified?
It is displayed on the company's own website but could not be confirmed against a CertainTeed contractor directory profile. Treat it as company-stated and ask the company to show its current CertainTeed credential letter or ID number if the certification matters to your warranty.
What is DK's Arlington connection?
The company appears on the City of Arlington registered contractor list, which lets it pull permits in Arlington. Its own base is Alvarado in Johnson County, roughly half an hour south of Arlington, and its own site names Alvarado, Midlothian, Keene, Cedar Hill and Gainesville as places it works.
Are they the same company as DK Kennemur Roofing?
No. DK Kennemur Roofing is a separate Grand Prairie business run by Douglas Kennemur. This company is DK General Construction & Roofing of Alvarado, managed by Danny J. Clampitt. The shared DK initials are a coincidence.
Should I ask about Class 4 impact resistant shingles?
Yes if you are in the North Texas hail belt. Class 4 shingles are tested to UL 2218 for impact resistance and many Texas homeowners insurers offer a premium discount for them. Confirm the discount amount with your own carrier before paying the upgrade cost.
Do they handle work beyond the roof?
Yes. Alongside roofing the company lists kitchen and bathroom remodeling, room additions and home building, and staining and painting, and its BBB categories include framing, concrete, window installation and custom home building.
What should I check before signing?
Ask for the certificate of general liability insurance direct from the insurer, confirm workers compensation, get a written scope naming the shingle line, decking replacement price per sheet and ventilation plan, confirm who pulls the permit in your city, and get both the manufacturer and workmanship warranties in writing.
