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.

RegionHarlingen

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 F1 General Contractor & Roofing BBB accredited?
Yes. Its BBB profile shows accreditation since June 9, 2017 with an A+ rating, and the business started April 25, 2015 under owner Carlos Arevalo.
Does Texas issue a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Instead of a license number, ask any roofing contractor for proof of current general liability insurance.
Is Cameron County a windstorm insurance zone?
Yes. Cameron County, including Harlingen, sits in the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's first-tier catastrophe area, often referred to as WPI-8 territory. Ask whether your roof will need a windstorm inspection certificate.
What insurance claim help does F1 offer?
The company states it provides technical support for insurance claims, including help preparing for adjuster meetings. Confirm in writing exactly what claim assistance is included before signing.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Harlingen?
Request a written scope of work, the specific material brand being installed, labor and manufacturer warranty terms, and proof of insurance. Avoid contractors who pressure you to sign immediately after a storm.
Does zero-down-payment financing change what I should verify?
No. Financing terms are separate from contractor legitimacy. Still verify insurance, get a written contract, and understand the full financed cost including any interest before signing.
Does the City of Harlingen require a roofing permit?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set locally. Check with the City of Harlingen building department on permit requirements for your project.
How do I verify a roofing contractor's insurance?
Ask for a certificate of insurance and, where possible, confirm coverage directly with the insurer named on it.
What materials does F1 General Contractor & Roofing install?
The company's site describes shingle, metal, and TPO roofing options for residential and commercial jobs.
What warranty should I expect on a new roof?
Expect a manufacturer material warranty plus a separate labor warranty from the installer. Get both, along with what voids them, in writing before work starts.
