About
This record is registered under the name Deep East Texas Roofing & Construction, LLC, based in Lufkin, Texas. Its Better Business Bureau profile, read directly, lists that name as an alternate name of a business whose primary BBB name is now Roof Ryders, which matches the company's current website: its former domain (deepeasttexasroofingconstructionllc.com) redirects straight to callroofryders.com. The rebrand followed a merger with Jay Lott Roofing, according to the current site's own copy. The company is owned by Justin Schlichter, who also holds a Texas Professional Home Inspector License, a separate credential from roofing (which Texas does not license). Roof Ryders offers roof installation and replacement, roof repair, storm damage restoration, emergency tarping, roof inspections, roof cleaning, gutters, skylight installation, and commercial roofing, working with asphalt shingle, metal, TPO, composite, and flat roofing systems. Its website lists service areas across 18 East Texas communities including Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Jacksonville, and Livingston. The BBB profile, matched on this record's exact given address (3201 S Medford Dr Ste 4, Lufkin, TX 75901) and phone number, shows an A+ rating and BBB accreditation. The company's current website instead lists a different suite and phone (3213 S Medford Dr Ste 316, (936) 225-5571); both are reported here rather than one being silently discarded. Several third-party listings describe the company as a GAF Master Elite contractor, but this could not be independently verified on a GAF page we could read (GAF's own contractor directory blocked automated access).

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.
