About
Horisons Roofing and Siding is a League City roofing and siding contractor working across the Bay Area and greater Houston. The company trades as Horisons LLC, and the Better Business Bureau lists a business start date of January 2010 with BBB accreditation held since June 2012 and an A+ rating. Its own site describes roofing and siding work for both single family homes and multifamily properties, which matches its membership in the Houston Apartment Association.
The work list covers roof installation, replacement, repair and maintenance on residential and multifamily buildings, plus siding installation, replacement and repair in vinyl and fiber cement. Horisons also runs a roof insurance claims support service, walking owners through estimates, inspections and documentation after storm and wind damage. The company is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and lists membership in the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas and the Roofing Contractors Association of Houston.
League City sits in Galveston County, one of the 14 first tier coastal counties covered by the Texas Department of Insurance windstorm program, so roofs there commonly need a WPI-8 Certificate of Compliance to be eligible for Texas Windstorm Insurance Association coverage. Horisons publishes a free homeowner download called A Guide to Windstorm Certificates on its resources page, so it clearly works in that context. It does not, however, advertise WPI-8 compliant installation as a specific service, so treat windstorm certification capability as not confirmed and ask the company directly before signing.

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 #03-0377 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.

Frequently asked
Is Horisons licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and neither is any other Texas roofer. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence. When Horisons says it is licensed and insured, that refers to general liability and workers compensation coverage plus any local registration, not a state trade licence. The meaningful checks are current insurance certificates, the RCAT record, and the BBB file.
What does the RCAT status on this listing mean?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas has two separate things. Plain membership means a company pays dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. This listing shows Horisons with the RCAT Licensed credential, which is the stronger of the two. Always confirm the current status on the RCAT directory.
League City is in Galveston County. Do I need a WPI-8 windstorm certificate?
Very likely yes. Galveston County is one of the 14 first tier coastal counties in the Texas Department of Insurance windstorm program. If you carry or want Texas Windstorm Insurance Association wind and hail coverage, TWIA will not insure the structure without a Certificate of Compliance (Form WPI-8) covering the roof and exterior envelope.
Does the roofing contractor issue the WPI-8 certificate?
No. The roofer builds the roof to the TDI windstorm specification and supplies the paperwork. The certificate itself is issued by the Texas Department of Insurance after inspection by a TDI appointed windstorm inspector, or on the basis of a Texas licensed professional engineer's evaluation. No roofing company can issue its own WPI-8.
Does Horisons do WPI-8 windstorm certified work?
Horisons publishes a free homeowner guide to windstorm certificates on its resources page, so it clearly operates in a windstorm zone and understands the process. It does not advertise WPI-8 compliant installation as a named service, so that capability is not confirmed here. Ask directly, in writing, before you sign anything.
What should I ask any coastal roofer before signing?
Ask whether they will build to the TDI windstorm specification, who will apply for the WPI-8 and when, whether the inspection is booked before work is closed in, what happens if the inspection fails, and get a current certificate of insurance sent to you directly by their carrier rather than by the salesperson.
Does Horisons help with insurance claims?
Yes. The company lists roof insurance claims support as a service and describes guiding owners through estimates, inspections and documentation after storm and wind damage. Note that in Texas a roofing contractor cannot act as your public adjuster or negotiate the claim on your behalf. They can document damage and meet the adjuster on site.
Are impact resistant Class 4 shingles worth it in the Bay Area?
They can be. UL 2218 Class 4 shingles resist hail impact better than standard shingles and many Texas carriers offer a premium discount for them. Inland Texas hail is the main driver, but Gulf Coast storms bring hail too. Ask your insurer what discount applies before you pay the upgrade, because the saving varies a lot by carrier.
Who handles permits and inspections for a roof in League City?
Texas has no statewide residential building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection are set city by city and county by county. League City runs its own permitting. Confirm in writing that the contractor pulls the permit in its own name, and that the permit and any windstorm inspection are separate steps.
What areas does Horisons cover?
Its service area page lists League City, Friendswood, Pearland, Clear Lake, Dickinson, Kemah, Seabrook, Webster, Alvin, La Marque, La Porte, Texas City, Pasadena, Houston, Humble and The Woodlands. Its GuildQuality profile describes a radius of roughly 60 miles from downtown Houston.
