Work listed includes complete tear-offs and new roof installations, targeted roof repairs, gutter installation and repair, storm damage assessment, flood and water damage restoration, and help documenting insurance claims after hail and high wind.

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.
RegionKaufman
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.
Where is Red Storm Roofing & Restoration actually based?
Kaufman, Texas, at 1055 Chartres. Kaufman is the seat of Kaufman County, southeast of Dallas, and the BBB profile confirms both the street address and the city given on the Arlington contractor register.
What does the name 'Red Storm' refer to?
Nothing in the company's published material explains the name, so this directory does not offer a meaning for it. Treat any explanation you see elsewhere as unsourced.
How long has the company been operating?
Not long. BBB opened its file on 21 April 2026 and records the business as having traded less than six months at that point, which is why BBB shows it as Not Rated. No founding year is published on the company's own site, so this listing leaves the year blank rather than guess.
Is the company BBB accredited?
No. The BBB profile states it is not a BBB accredited business and has not sought accreditation. Accreditation is a paid programme, so its absence is not by itself a mark against a contractor, particularly a new one.
Which phone number is correct?
The company's own website and its BBB profile both publish 214-453-2751, and that is the number recorded here. The Arlington register carries 214-580-6929 for the same contact, Steven Sutton, and that number also appears on listings for a Sutton Roofing at the same Kaufman address. Both appear to reach the same owner.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. There is no state roofing license in Texas, so no Texas roofer is state-licensed for roofing. The real checks available to a homeowner are current insurance, RCAT status if the company holds any, and registration with the cities where the contractor pulls permits.
Is this company listed with RCAT?
It was not found via an RCAT directory search. RCAT membership is voluntary and many working Texas roofers are not members, so this is a gap in verifiable credentials rather than a finding against the company.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed?
Member means the company pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is a separate qualification earned through RCAT's own requirements. They are not equivalent, and a company advertising RCAT involvement should be asked which of the two it actually holds.
What kind of roof damage is common in Kaufman County?
Hail and straight-line wind. Kaufman County sits in the North and Central Texas hail belt, where spring storms drive most roof insurance claims. This is well inland, so coastal windstorm certification does not apply.
What should I ask a newer roofing company before signing?
Ask for the general liability certificate and workers compensation status direct from the insurer or agent rather than as a forwarded PDF, ask who physically does the work and whether crews are employees or subcontractors, get decking replacement pricing and disposal in the written scope, confirm the company registers and pulls the permit in your city, and get the workmanship warranty in writing with its term and exclusions. With a business under two years old, the warranty is only as good as the company's staying power, so weigh the manufacturer warranty accordingly.
