About
Empire Roofing is a large commercial and industrial roofing contractor founded in Fort Worth in 1982 by Ronnie and Sandra McGlothlin. It grew from a crew of eight into one of the biggest commercial roofers in Texas, and since July 2021 it has operated as Empire Roofing, a Tecta America Company, part of the national Tecta America commercial roofing group. The corporate headquarters remains in Fort Worth, with branch offices across Texas and in several other states. The Houston area branch, registered with RCAT under Humble in Harris County, now lists its office at 16520 Central Green Blvd in north Houston near Bush Intercontinental Airport, a short drive from Humble; older listings show its former address on Kenswick Drive in Humble. The branch serves the greater Houston area, including Cypress and out to College Station. Crews inspect, install and repair low-slope and metal commercial systems (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up asphalt and gravel, standing seam metal), with preventative maintenance programs and 24/7 emergency leak response through a dedicated local team. Homeowners should note that Empire Roofing is not a residential shingle company. Its work is for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, and its client list includes national names such as American Airlines and CBRE.

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 licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0019 or the company name.
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.

Empire was very professional, clean, and thorough with their work. You get the best quality work guaranteed!
So I'm taking my dog to the vet to euthanize her, it's a very emotional day, and my tire blows on the freeway. I have two kids under two, who haven't eaten yet, and two dogs in a very loaded car. Took the first exit, and park in the closest parking lot. Realize I don't have the right tools to change the tire. While I'm trying to get roadside assistance sorted, a giant truck from Empire Roofing pulls up behind me and they ask if I need help, I mention the tool issue, 4 guys pop out, and start pulling out tools, they ask if my boys or I need water. Alex and crew from truck 359, thank you so much. The compassion and kindness really brought some light to my day. If I ever need roof work done, I know who I'm going to first.
Absolutely terrible driver. You don’t own the road. Next time you will be reported to the police.
I guess empire roofing drivers are far more superior than all other drivers on the road that they have to drive on the shoulder to pass people while getting onto the freeway like driver of truck CA7 4390.
Do all your drivers drove recklessly or just the one?
