About

FBM Roofing & Solar is a family run roofing and solar contractor based at 108 S Dallas Street in Ennis, in Ellis County. The company traces its roots to 1977, when, as it tells the story, George French and Melrose Bond French moved from Richardson to Ennis and began building homes under the name French & Bond; son Mike French took over in 2003 and broadened the family business. FBM Roofing & Solar shares its phone number and email domain with FBM Construction Inc of Ennis, the affiliated general contracting firm. It is unrelated to Foundation Building Materials, the national building products distributor with the same initials. The company handles residential and commercial roofing, roof repair with leak detection, roof replacement, metal roofing, new construction roofing, storm damage assessment and gutter services, and it also designs and installs solar panel systems. It states that solar designs are produced with modeling software and satellite imagery and that most installations finish in one to two days. Service pages cover Ennis, Waxahachie, Wilmer and the southern Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. FBM Roofing & Solar appears in GAF's residential contractor directory and in IKO's contractor finder, though the specific certification tiers could not be read. Texas has no state roofing license; this directory lists the company with the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor status.

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 #01-0573 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.

Both Rodney and Jackson at FBM have been a breeze to work with. From start to finish, they were there every step of the way to guide us and answer any questions we had. The process was seamless. The day of install (full roof repair and gutters) went smoothly and everything was done efficiently and professionally. My husband and I would definitely recommend FBM.

We had an excellent experience with FBM Roofing & Solar! They replaced our damaged roof, garage door, and completed several other repairs after the damage to our home. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The customer service was outstanding, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Chief was on site throughout the entire project, making sure everything was done right and keeping us informed every step of the way. FBM Roofing & Solar is a great company with a hardworking, professional team that truly cares about their customers. We are extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing or home repairs!

FBM Roofing & Solar did an excellent job on my roof. I had a very strict deadline, and Chief assured me they could meet it - and they did. Materials were delivered the night before, the crew worked efficiently, and the entire area was cleaned up afterwards. I'm very pleased with the results and I highly recommend FBM Roofing & Solar. - G. Yates, M. Flores

Matt made himself available to us very quickly. He is an honest businessman and does amazing work. My realtor said he was so good she would use him again for her other houses in need.

We had roof damage from the high winds in our area recently. We called FBM Roofing & Solar. Rodney & Jackson came by, did an inspection of the damages and installed our new roof all within a week of speaking with them. They along with their crew did a great job & couldn’t have been more professional and friendly. We will definitely refer anyone in need of roofing to contact FBM Roofing & Solar

Frequently asked

Does FBM Roofing & Solar hold a Texas state roofing license?
Texas has no state roofing license, so no roofer holds one. This directory lists FBM Roofing & Solar with the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor status, which is an earned industry credential, not a government license.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Membership means belonging to the trade association. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is separate and earned through RCAT testing and vetting. They are not the same thing.
Is FBM Roofing & Solar connected to Foundation Building Materials?
No. FBM Roofing & Solar is a local family run Ennis contractor affiliated with FBM Construction Inc. Foundation Building Materials is an unrelated national building products distributor that happens to share the initials.
How long has the company been around?
The company states its history goes back to 1977, when the French family began building homes in Ennis under the name French & Bond, with the next generation taking over in 2003.
What roofing services does FBM offer?
Residential and commercial roofing, roof repair with leak detection, full replacement, metal roofing, new construction roofs, storm damage assessment and gutter services.
Does FBM really install solar as well as roofs?
Yes, solar panel installation is a core service. The company states designs are produced with modeling software and satellite imagery and that most installations finish in one to two days.
Where does FBM Roofing & Solar work?
It is based in Ennis and serves Ellis County communities such as Waxahachie and Wilmer plus the southern side of the DFW metroplex.
Can FBM waive my insurance deductible after a hailstorm?
No Texas roofer legally can. Since 2019 Texas law requires homeowners to pay their deductible, and any contractor offering to absorb it is violating the law.
Can a roofer negotiate my hail claim with the insurance company?
Not in Texas. A roofing contractor can assess and document storm damage and meet your adjuster, but it cannot act as a public adjuster, so the claim stays between you and your insurer.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in Ellis County?
Ellis County sits in the North Texas hail corridor, so Class 4 shingles are a sensible upgrade. Many insurers offer premium credits for them; confirm the discount and any cosmetic damage exclusion with your insurer first.
