About
Sprout Roofing is an Austin roofing contractor at 2506 S Lamar Blvd, founded in October 2022 according to its BBB file and led by owners Cody Cooper and Barrett Tilson along with manager Logan Tilson. The company is BBB accredited with an A+ rating.
The company's website describes residential work in architectural shingle, standing seam metal, tile, and slate roofing, plus commercial systems in TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built up roofing, and lists an IKO RoofPro Certified Contractor credential. The site also displays a 4.8 rating across 56 Google reviews.
The company's own site references about ten years of roofing experience, which is longer than the October 2022 BBB formation date for this LLC. That likely reflects the founders' prior industry experience rather than the age of this specific business, so year_established here follows the BBB record.
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
Required in Austin Permit office ↗Contractor Registration via Austin Build + Connect (AB+C) - Building and Trade Contractor Services. Registration is required here to pull a roofing permit; we have not confirmed this company's own status, so check it before you sign.
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Sprout Roofing an RCAT Member or RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT splits status into two different things: a paid Member and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor (CRRL) credential. A search of the RCAT directory did not return a record for Sprout Roofing, so ask the company directly which status, if either, it currently holds.
Does Texas issue a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license, so there is no state license number to check for any Texas roofer. Trust instead comes from verified insurance, RCAT status, and city registration where required.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Austin?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set city by city. Austin requires permits for most roofing work through its Development Services Department; confirm with the city and ask your contractor whether they pull the permit.
Is Travis County at risk for hail damage?
Travis County sits on the eastern edge of Texas's Hail Alley and does see damaging hail, though less often than North Texas or the Panhandle. Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are worth asking about, and some insurers discount premiums for installing them.
How can I verify a roofer's insurance before hiring?
Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder, then call the carrier listed on it to confirm the policy is active and covers roofing work. A photo of a certificate alone is not proof it is current.
What should I ask before signing a contract with Sprout Roofing or any Texas roofer?
Get the exact material and manufacturer line in writing, the workmanship warranty period separate from the material warranty, who pulls the permit, the payment schedule, and how change orders for hidden decking damage are handled.
Does WPI-8 or TWIA windstorm certification apply here?
No. WPI-8 and TWIA windstorm rules apply only to the 14 first tier counties along the Texas Gulf Coast. Travis County is inland and not part of that zone, so standard homeowners insurance rules apply.
What warranty should I expect on a new roof?
Expect two separate warranties: a manufacturer material warranty on the shingles or roofing system itself, and a separate workmanship warranty from the installer covering labor. Ask Sprout Roofing to spell out both terms in writing before signing.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most single family roof replacements in the Austin area take one to three days once materials are on site, weather permitting. Slate, tile, and complex commercial systems can take longer.
How do I check this company's BBB rating myself?
Search 'Sprout Roofing' on bbb.org and open the Austin profile directly. BBB shows the letter grade rating and accreditation status as two separate facts, and the profile page itself is the reliable source, not a search summary.
