About
Sherlock Home Roofing is a family-operated roofing contractor based in League City serving the greater Houston metro. The company brands itself around meticulous, detective-style roof inspections and offers free inspections, roof repair, full replacement, and storm-damage insurance claim assistance.
The business is owned by Jonathan Bradford and is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. Its BBB profile lists a business start date of October 13, 2022, while the company's own website separately describes itself as founded in 2018 following Hurricane Harvey; that discrepancy could not be resolved from the sources read and is flagged in notes.
Serving League City, Galveston County, Texas and 17 more areas shown on the map.
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
Not checked for League CityTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.

RegionLeague City
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.
Certifications
GAF Master EliteCompany-reported — ask to see the certificate
Is Sherlock Home Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas has no statewide roofing license. Trust in a Texas roofer is based on verified insurance, BBB standing, and manufacturer certifications rather than a state license number.
Is Sherlock Home Roofing BBB accredited?
Yes. Its BBB profile shows an A+ rating and accreditation since October 4, 2023.
What does GAF Master Elite certification mean?
GAF Master Elite is GAF's top contractor certification tier, reserved for roughly the top 2 percent of GAF-network contractors who meet ongoing licensing, insurance, and reputation standards. Sherlock Home Roofing states this certification on its own website.
Does Sherlock Home Roofing help with hail and storm insurance claims?
Yes, insurance claim assistance for storm damage is listed among its services. Homeowners should still get their own adjuster estimate and understand the claims timeline before signing an agreement.
Are impact-resistant Class 4 shingles available?
The company lists asphalt shingles among its materials but does not specify Class 4 impact ratings on its website. Ask directly about Class 4 shingle options, which can qualify for insurance premium discounts in Texas.
Is League City in a coastal windstorm zone?
League City is in Galveston County, part of the WPI-8/TWIA first-tier coastal windstorm counties. Homeowners near the coast should confirm whether a contractor has experience with windstorm-rated roofing systems.
Does League City require a roofing permit?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting rules are set locally. Confirm current permit requirements with the City of League City before any roof replacement.
How many locations does Sherlock Home Roofing have?
The BBB lists two League City addresses for this business: 240 W Galveston St and 1305 Ocean Manor Ln. This listing corresponds to the 240 W Galveston St address.
What should I ask before hiring a roofer in the Houston metro?
Ask for proof of current insurance, a written itemized estimate, manufacturer certification verification, and a clear timeline, especially if the job involves an insurance claim.
What year was Sherlock Home Roofing founded?
Sources disagree: the company's own website states it was founded in 2018 after Hurricane Harvey, while its BBB registration date is October 13, 2022. Ask the company directly to clarify.
