About

It primarily serves South Texas, including Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen, Edinburg, Weslaco, and South Padre Island, and its site also lists an expansion into the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

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.

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Does Texas require a state license for roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Verify a contractor's own liability insurance and, where applicable, local city registration rather than any claim of state licensing.
What is RCAT and why does it matter?
RCAT offers plain membership as well as a separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential. These are not the same thing, so ask which status a contractor actually holds.
Is Cameron County subject to coastal windstorm rules?
Yes. Cameron County, including Brownsville, is a first-tier TWIA county, so roofing work here may need to meet WPI-8 windstorm certification standards for wind and hurricane insurance coverage.
What roofing systems does Amigo Construction install?
According to the company's own site, Amigo Construction is a certified installer for Duro-Last, Karnak, Mule Hide, Versico, Drexel Metals, and Owens Corning products, covering both single-ply commercial membranes and residential shingle systems.
Does Brownsville require a roofing permit?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set city by city. Confirm permit requirements with the City of Brownsville before roofing work begins.
What should I ask before hiring a roofing contractor?
Ask for proof of current general liability insurance, a written scope of work, manufacturer and workmanship warranty terms, and whether Amigo's own crews or subcontractors will perform the work.
Is Amigo Construction BBB accredited?
No. As of this review, the BBB profile shows the business is not BBB accredited and BBB has not issued it a rating.
Does Amigo Construction work on storm-damaged roofs?
Yes, storm damage repair and insurance claim assistance are listed among the company's services on its own website.
What areas does Amigo Construction serve?
The company's site lists South Texas cities including Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen, Edinburg, and Weslaco, and states it has also expanded service into the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Should I get multiple estimates before choosing a roofer?
Yes. Comparing several written estimates and checking BBB history and recent reviews helps homeowners avoid storm-chaser contractors that follow major weather events in Texas.
