About
JACO Roofing & Construction, Inc. is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor based at 1725 S. Velasco Street in Angleton, about 40 miles south of Houston in Brazoria County. The company's own site and its BBB record both date the business to 1968, and BBB lists Glen Christensen as president. A second office is recorded in San Antonio.
The work is commercial and industrial rather than residential. The Greater Angleton Chamber describes JACO as a Texas contractor specializing in complete installation and repair of single-ply, metal and thermoplastic roof systems, and the company also promotes roof coating applications and a municipal and public sector practice. JACO states it has installed more than 33 million square feet of roofing across more than 1,800 commercial projects.
JACO has been a BBB Accredited Business since 2004 and carries an A+ BBB rating. It states that it is a Platinum Contractor for the Duro-Last roofing system and an authorized applicator for Carlisle SynTec, which would support extended manufacturer warranties, though those two credentials were not confirmed on the manufacturers' own contractor directories. Because Angleton sits in Brazoria County, a first-tier Gulf Coast county, windstorm work here falls under the Texas WPI-8 and TWIA certificate process.

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.

City/county registration
Not checked for AngletonTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.
Status Current in the RCAT directory (no published licence number for this record)
RCAT member ID604 (member since 2017)
Licence boardRCAT, Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (Texas issues no state roofing licence; RCAT runs the licensing programme)
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.

Made a repair on my roof after a big storm. Jay and his team were quick and professional. Great work. Would hire again.

Frequently asked
Where is JACO Roofing & Construction actually located?
At 1725 S. Velasco Street, Angleton, Texas 77515, which is in Brazoria County about 40 miles south of Houston. Some directory records show the city as Arlington against this same 77515 ZIP, which is a data error. BBB, Yelp, the Greater Angleton Chamber and the company's own site all place it in Angleton.
Does JACO do residential roofs?
Its public materials describe it as a commercial and industrial roofing contractor. Homeowners looking for a shingle replacement should confirm scope directly before requesting a bid.
Is JACO licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a state roofing contractor license, so no roofer in Texas holds one. What can be checked is insurance, RCAT standing, manufacturer credentials, BBB record, and city or county registration where the work is done.
What does RCAT Member mean for this company?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. JACO is listed in the RCAT directory as an active Member, which means it pays dues and belongs to the association. That is separate from RCAT's earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which the directory entry does not show.
Does WPI-8 apply to work JACO does?
Yes, for coastal projects. Angleton is in Brazoria County, one of the 14 first-tier Gulf Coast counties in the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association territory. Roofing there generally needs a WPI-8 windstorm certificate of compliance from the Texas Department of Insurance to keep windstorm coverage available.
How does a WPI-8 certificate get issued?
A TDI-appointed qualified inspector, or a licensed Texas engineer submitting the required forms, inspects the work against the applicable windstorm building standards. TDI then issues the WPI-8. Ask any coastal roofer, including this one, who will perform the inspection and who files the paperwork before work starts.
What roof systems does JACO install?
Single-ply and thermoplastic membrane systems, metal roof systems, and roof coating applications, plus repair of the same. The Angleton Chamber listing describes complete installation and repair of single-ply, metal and thermoplastic systems.
How long has the company been in business?
Since 1968 according to both the company's own site and its BBB profile, which records a business start date of April 1968. BBB also notes a change of ownership in 2015.
Is JACO BBB accredited?
Yes. BBB lists Jaco Roofing & Construction, Inc. as an Accredited Business since August 2004 with an A+ rating, at the Angleton address.
What should a Brazoria County property owner ask before signing?
Ask for a current certificate of insurance naming general liability and workers' compensation, confirm who handles the WPI-8 inspection and filing, get the manufacturer warranty term and who backs it in writing, confirm the permit path with the city or county since Texas has no statewide building code, and get the scope and payment schedule in the contract rather than on a handshake.
