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.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Not checked for KingwoodTexas 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.
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Handal's Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas issues no statewide roofing license. Trust here comes from insurance verification, BBB accreditation and, where applicable, RCAT status, not a government license, so ask for a current certificate of insurance.
Is this company an RCAT Member or an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) offers a dues-paying Membership and a separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential. No RCAT status could be confirmed for this company; ask directly which, if either, applies.
Does Harris County fall under TWIA/WPI-8 windstorm rules?
Kingwood is well inland in Harris County, outside the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's coastal WPI-8 seacoast territory, which is concentrated near the bay and Gulf. Hail, not windstorm certification, is the more relevant coverage issue for this area.
Does the company install impact-resistant Class 4 shingles?
Kingwood and greater Houston sit in Texas Hail Alley, where Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can earn an insurance premium discount. Ask directly which shingle lines and impact ratings are offered.
Does Handal's Roofing operate in more than one city?
Yes. The brand appears under BBB and social profiles for both Kingwood and Friendswood, Texas, and its own marketing lists Katy as a third service area. This listing covers the Kingwood, Russell Palmer Rd location specifically.
What permits are required for a roof replacement in Kingwood?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set locally, and Kingwood addresses fall under Houston/Harris County jurisdiction for permitting purposes. Confirm with the contractor whether a permit will be pulled.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
A standard residential asphalt shingle replacement commonly takes one to two days, though larger or storm-damaged roofs can take longer. Ask for a written timeline as part of the estimate.
What is the difference between a roof repair and a full replacement?
A repair addresses a specific issue such as a leak or damaged flashing. A full replacement removes the entire roof system down to the deck. Ask the contractor to explain their specific recommendation for your roof.
Does the company offer a workmanship warranty?
Ask for the specific warranty terms in writing, including duration and whether it covers labor only or labor plus materials, before signing.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract?
Get a written itemized estimate, confirm the exact shingle or material product, ask about the payment schedule, confirm who pulls the permit, and get warranty terms in writing.
