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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 issue a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license, so contractors are not required to hold a state-issued roofing credential. Trust is instead based on verified insurance, business registration, and standing with groups such as the BBB.
Is Mike Barnett Construction a member of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?
A search of the RCAT member directory did not return a listing for Mike Barnett Construction as of this review. That does not necessarily mean the company has never applied. Homeowners can check current RCAT status directly at rcat.net before hiring.
How can I verify Mike Barnett Construction is insured?
Texas does not centrally publish contractor insurance status. Ask Mike Barnett Construction directly for a current certificate of general liability insurance and confirm the policy is active by calling the insurer listed. The company states it is licensed, bonded and insured.
Do impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles make sense in Jefferson County?
Jefferson County sits in Gulf Coast windstorm territory (WPI-8) and also sees hail. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can reduce storm damage and sometimes qualify for an insurance discount. Ask Mike Barnett Construction whether Class 4 shingles fit your project.
What is a WPI-8 / TWIA windstorm certificate?
A WPI-8 certificate documents that a roof meets Texas Department of Insurance windstorm building code requirements in the 14 first-tier coastal counties, which include Jefferson County. This review did not confirm whether Mike Barnett Construction issues WPI-8 certificates, so ask before signing.
Do I need a building permit for a roof replacement in Port Neches?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting rules are set city by city. Check with the City of Port Neches building department, or ask Mike Barnett Construction whether they pull the permit as part of the job.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract?
Ask for proof of current general liability insurance, a written scope of work and materials list, the payment schedule, the workmanship warranty period, and whether the company or the manufacturer handles warranty claims.
Does Mike Barnett Construction do more than roofing?
Yes. Based on its own website, the company also offers concrete construction, siding, and general commercial and residential construction and remodeling, in addition to flat and metal roofing.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most single-family roof replacements in Texas take one to three days depending on roof size, pitch, material and weather. Ask Mike Barnett Construction for a project-specific timeline.
Does Mike Barnett Construction handle insurance claims for storm or hail damage?
This review did not confirm whether Mike Barnett Construction offers insurance claim assistance. Ask them directly whether they will meet your adjuster on-site and document storm damage.
