About
Kent Elliott Roofing has served San Angelo and the surrounding West Texas region since 1966, when it was founded by Truett Kent Elliott. The company is now owned by Brandon Smythe and still operates from its original San Angelo location at 128 W Washington Dr.
The company holds GAF Certified Contractor and GAF Commercial Certified Contractor status, along with CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator recognition, and is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association. It handles residential composition shingle, metal, tile, wood shingle and slate roofing, as well as commercial TPO single ply roofing. It has been BBB accredited since 2007 and carries an A+ BBB rating.
Beyond its San Angelo headquarters, the company's own contact page lists separate local phone numbers for offices serving Midland/Odessa, Abilene and Del Rio, positioning it as a West Texas and Permian Basin regional roofer rather than a single-city operation.

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 San AngeloTexas 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
Does Texas require roofing contractors to hold a state license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Homeowners should instead verify a contractor's liability insurance, ask about trade association standing such as RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas), and check any local registration requirements.
Is Kent Elliott Roofing listed with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?
A search of the RCAT member directory under 'Kent Elliott Roofing' and 'Elliott' returned no matching listing. That does not by itself mean the company is unaffiliated; homeowners who want RCAT confirmation should ask the company directly or search web.rcat.net themselves.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT has two distinct designations. Plain 'Member' status means a company pays RCAT dues. 'Licensed Roofing Contractor' (shown as CRRL or RRL) is a separately earned credential with its own requirements. The two should never be treated as equivalent.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it around San Angelo and the Permian Basin?
West Texas sees regular hail activity, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost more upfront but often qualify homeowners for an insurance premium discount and hold up better to hail strikes. It is worth asking any roofer to quote both standard and Class 4 options.
What should I ask a roofing contractor to provide before signing a contract?
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance naming your address, a written scope of work, the specific materials and manufacturer to be used, payment and deposit terms, and an estimated timeline, all in writing before any deposit changes hands.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in San Angelo?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set city by city and county by county. San Angelo homeowners should confirm permit requirements with the city's building department rather than assume the contractor's word is sufficient.
How do I document and file a hail damage insurance claim?
Photograph the damage, get a written inspection from a roofer, and contact your insurer to schedule its own adjuster visit before repair work begins. Keep every estimate and piece of correspondence in case the scope or payout is disputed.
How can I check a Texas roofer's reviews before hiring?
Cross-reference reviews across several sources, such as Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Facebook, rather than relying on one platform. If the numbers disagree sharply between platforms, ask the company about it directly.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Texas take one to three days once materials are on site and weather cooperates; commercial jobs or large storm-damage repairs can take longer depending on scope.
How do I avoid storm-chasing roofing scams after a hailstorm?
Be cautious of door-knockers with no local address or history who pressure same-day contract signing. Favor established local companies, verify their insurance and BBB standing yourself, and get more than one estimate before committing.
