About
Moulton Roofing and Construction is a small family-run general contractor working out of Waxahachie in Ellis County, south of the DFW metroplex. Beyond roofing it takes on metal buildings, concrete, decks and pergolas, window replacement, house painting and gutters, and it advertises make-ready work for homeowners preparing a property for sale.
The company operates from 155 Kelly Drive in Waxahachie, which public records also show as the residence of Geoffrey Moulton. That makes this a home-based operation, which for a small general contractor is normal rather than a warning sign. Geoff Moulton is the contact name carried on the City of Arlington contractor register, and the surname match to the business name plus the shared address is consistent with an owner-operated firm.
The company has no website of its own. Its presence is on directory and review platforms rather than a company domain, and its BBB file has been open since December 2020. Homeowners should expect to reach it by phone rather than through a web form.

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.
RegionWaxahachie
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.
No, because Texas has no state roofing licence. Roofing competence in Texas is not certified by any state agency. What can be checked is city registration (this company appears on the City of Arlington registered contractor list), the company's own liability and workers compensation insurance, and any voluntary trade credentials it holds.
Is Moulton Roofing and Construction a RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory returned no record for this company. That is a not-found result rather than evidence against it, since RCAT membership is voluntary and costs money that many small contractors choose not to spend.
Does the company have a website?
No company website could be found. Its information appears on third-party platforms such as Yelp, HomeAdvisor, BuildZoom and the BBB. That is common for owner-operated contractors who get work by referral, and it is not by itself a reason for concern, though it does mean you cannot check a written scope of services online.
The address looks like a house. Is that a problem?
Not on its own. 155 Kelly Drive is a residential address that public records also associate with Geoffrey Moulton personally, so this is a home-based business. A one or two person contractor working from home is a legitimate and very common arrangement in the trades. What matters is insurance, references and written scope, not whether there is a storefront.
Is the company BBB accredited?
No. The BBB file has been open since 7 December 2020 but the business is not accredited, and the BBB shows it as Not Rated because it does not hold enough information to issue a rating. No accreditation and no rating are different from a bad rating, and neither is a complaint record.
Which phone number is current?
Two different numbers appear across sources: 817-891-7984 on the Arlington register and on Yelp, and 972-979-9411 on the BBB file. The 817 number matches in two independent places, so start there, and treat the 972 number as a fallback.
What is the dominant roofing risk in Ellis County?
Hail. Waxahachie sits in the North Texas hail corridor, where spring storms regularly drop stones large enough to bruise or fracture asphalt shingles. Wind damage happens too, but hail is what drives most roof replacements and most insurance claims in this part of the state.
Should a homeowner in this area consider Class 4 shingles?
They are worth pricing out. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are rated to withstand a test impact that damages standard shingles, and many Texas insurers give a premium credit for them. The credit varies by carrier, so ask your own insurer for the number before you decide whether the upgrade pays back.
Who pulls the permit for the work?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection are handled city by city. In practice the contractor should pull the permit in the city where the work happens, and that is what a city contractor registration exists to allow. Confirm in writing who is responsible before work starts.
What should be checked before signing with any Texas roofer?
Ask for the certificate of insurance to be emailed by the insurance agent directly, not handed to you as a photocopy. Confirm the company is registered in the city where your home is. Get a written scope naming the shingle product and colour, the underlayment and the flashing work. Avoid paying the full amount up front, and be wary of anyone asking you to sign a contingency agreement at the door after a storm.
