About
Hang Loose Enterprises, which brands itself as HLE, is a League City based roofing and home repair company founded in mid 2024 after Hurricane Beryl swept through the Houston area. The company handles roof repairs from minor to major, roof additions such as ridge vents, solar fans, and metal work, full roof replacements on both cash bids and insurance claims, commercial roofing, and general home repair, with completed projects in coastal towns including Port Aransas and Portland.
HLE is an RCAT member, a member of the Houston Area Roofing Contractors Association, and appears on GAF's residential contractor locator. Its re-roofing process includes tear off to the decking, a decking inspection, ice and water barrier in valleys and roof openings, 30 lb synthetic felt underlayment, and installation to coastal or non coastal building codes as the location requires. Roof inspections are free and include photo documentation inside and out.

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.

Frequently asked
Is Hang Loose Enterprises licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas has no state roofing license. HLE is a member of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT). Note that RCAT membership is different from RCAT's separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, which requires an exam. Ask any roofer for a current certificate of liability insurance regardless of membership.
What is HLE and how new is the company?
HLE stands for Hang Loose Enterprises LLC, a League City company founded in mid 2024 after Hurricane Beryl hit the Houston area. Newer companies can do excellent work; verify insurance, get the full scope in writing, and check recent local references.
Does League City need windstorm (WPI-8) certification?
League City is in Galveston County, one of TWIA's 14 first tier coastal counties. Roof work on homes that carry or want TWIA windstorm coverage generally needs a WPI-8 or WPI-8-E certificate confirming the work meets the windstorm building code.
Who issues the WPI-8 certificate, the roofer?
No. The roofer builds to the windstorm specification, but the certificate is issued through the Texas Department of Insurance or by a Texas licensed professional engineer who inspects the completed work.
Does HLE advertise windstorm certified work?
Its website does not mention WPI-8 or TWIA by name, but its FAQ states that installations comply with coastal or non coastal building codes as the location requires. If you need a windstorm certificate for TWIA coverage, confirm who will arrange the engineer inspection before signing.
Does HLE charge for roof inspections?
No. The company states inspections are complimentary and include photos of the entire exterior plus any interior damage found.
Can HLE work with my insurance claim?
Yes. The company handles full replacements on both cash bids and insurance claims, and notes that insurance claims are often the most cost effective route to a new roof. You still choose your own contractor; the insurer pays the claim, not the roofer.
How long does a roof replacement take?
HLE states residential roofs of 50 squares or fewer are typically completed in one day, with larger homes taking about two days. Commercial timelines depend on scope.
What is in HLE's re-roofing process?
Tear off down to the decking, a decking inspection, ice and water barrier in valleys and around roof openings, 30 lb synthetic felt underlayment, then shingle installation built to the applicable coastal or non coastal building code.
Do I need a permit to re-roof in League City?
Texas permitting runs city by city. League City has its own permitting requirements, and Galveston County's TWIA designated areas add windstorm compliance considerations. Confirm who pulls the permit before work starts.
