About
Northwest Roofing is a family owned residential roofing contractor at 13709 Alliance Court in Haslet, in Tarrant County. Owner Don Rutherford learned the trade working alongside his father and started the company in 1997, and the site describes more than 28 years of local work. The BBB file lists the business start as 2004, so the two dates do not agree.
The company works on residential roofs only. Its services cover complete roof replacement, roofs for new construction, leak repair, roof and soffit ventilation, skylight replacement, gutter installation and replacement, chimney repair and rebuilds, and the light carpentry that goes with a tear off. It also handles hail damage work and helps homeowners through the insurance claim.
Northwest Roofing publishes an unusually specific product list, naming Class 4 impact resistant lines from Atlas, Malarkey and Owens Corning alongside Class 3 and standard lines from GAF, CertainTeed and TAMKO, plus Lomanco ventilation. It is a registered contractor in Tarrant County, carries a one million dollar per occurrence general liability policy and a surety bond, and has been BBB Accredited with an A+ rating since November 2005. Its RCAT status is Member.

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 HasletTexas 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.

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 Northwest Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, and the company says so plainly on its own FAQ. What it does hold is registration as a contractor in Tarrant County, general liability insurance, a surety bond, BBB accreditation with an A+ rating since 2005, and RCAT Member status.
What does RCAT Member mean here?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Member is the dues paying association status. It is not the same as the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL). Northwest Roofing is listed as a Member.
How long has Northwest Roofing been in business?
Owner Don Rutherford started the company in 1997 and the website describes over 28 years of experience. The BBB file records a business start date of 1 January 2004 and 22 years in business, so the two records differ. BBB accreditation itself dates to November 2005.
Do they install Class 4 impact resistant shingles?
Yes, and they name them. The published product list includes Atlas Pinnacle Impact Class 4, Malarkey Vista Impact Class 4, Malarkey Legacy IR Class 4 and Owens Corning Duration Flex Class 4, alongside Class 3 and standard lines. In Tarrant County hail country a Class 4 shingle usually also earns an insurance premium discount.
Do they do commercial roofs?
No. The BBB profile and the company's own material describe residential work only. Its specialisation is composite shingle roofing, ventilation and the carpentry that goes with a residential tear off.
Will they help with a hail insurance claim?
Yes. The company says it works with insurance adjusters through the claim and helps homeowners understand deductibles, depreciation and payment schedules. Its FAQ also notes that after a hail event a roof can have hundreds of individual impact points, which is why an on roof inspection matters more than a look from the ground.
Why does ventilation come up so often in their material?
Because it affects your warranty. The company's FAQ states that a manufacturer warranty is voided without proper attic ventilation, meaning both soffit intake and roof exhaust vents. It installs Lomanco ridge and soffit ventilation products and treats vent upgrades as part of a replacement rather than an extra.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Haslet or Fort Worth?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is city by city. Northwest Roofing's FAQ says most cities in its area do not require a roofing permit, and that it applies for one as a registered contractor where a city does. Confirm the rule for your specific address before work starts.
How long does a roof replacement take?
The company's FAQ says most residential replacements run one to three days depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Steeper and cut up roofs take longer.
What should I watch out for when comparing Texas roofing bids?
Ask what grade of shingle is actually quoted, since Class 3 and Class 4 look similar on paper but perform differently in hail. The company also warns against shingles bought as seconds or from clearance stock. Get a certificate of insurance sent by the agent, ask whether a layover is being proposed (it voids the manufacturer warranty and their labour warranty), and never accept an offer to absorb your deductible.
