About
Rellek Roofing & Construction is a women owned full service general contractor based in Keller, Tarrant County, founded by Lorie Thomas. The name is Keller spelled backwards, a nod to the town Thomas describes as her family's hometown, and the company confirms the reference publicly rather than leaving it as a coincidence.
The business describes itself as specialising in storm damage restoration and roofing, and it works well beyond roofing alone. Published services include roof replacement and repair, gutters, windows, fencing, interior painting, garage doors, masonry, outdoor living spaces, and remodelling work covering kitchens, baths, decks, and fireplaces. Thomas worked for a multi state roofing company before starting her own, and the company says growth has come largely through referrals.
Rellek is an Owens Corning contractor and is active in National Women in Roofing and the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association. The Greater Keller Chamber of Commerce named it 2022 New Business of the Year. Office hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm, with 24 hour availability for emergencies.

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 #01-0709 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
Why is the company called Rellek?
Rellek is Keller spelled backwards. Founder Lorie Thomas has said publicly that although the company serves a larger area than the town itself, Keller was her family's first true hometown, so the name is a deliberate reference rather than a coincidence.
Is Rellek Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so no roofer in the state can hold one. The meaningful checks are the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) credential, any city registration your municipality requires, and the contractor's own insurance. Our directory records this company's RCAT standing as Licensed Roofing Contractor, which is the earned credential rather than plain membership.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Membership is a dues based association status. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is earned separately through RCAT's testing and continuing requirements. The two are often blurred in marketing, so ask which one a company actually holds.
When did the company start?
The Greater Keller Chamber of Commerce awarded Rellek its 2022 New Business of the Year honour in what Thomas describes as her first year in business, which places the founding in 2022. The company's own site does not print a founding year.
Does Rellek do more than roofs?
Yes. The company positions itself as a full service general contractor. Published work includes gutters, windows, fencing, garage doors, masonry, interior painting, outdoor living spaces, and remodelling of kitchens, baths, decks, and fireplaces alongside the roofing.
Does hail matter in Keller and north Tarrant County?
Very much. North Texas sits in the corridor commonly called Hail Alley, and Tarrant County takes damaging hail most years. Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are worth quoting on any replacement here, both for durability and because most Texas insurers give a premium discount for them.
What are the office hours?
The company lists Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 2pm, and closed Sunday, with availability 24 hours a day for emergencies such as an active leak after a storm.
How should I handle a hail insurance claim?
Photograph and date the damage, report it to your carrier yourself, and let the adjuster inspect before signing anything open ended. In Texas a contractor cannot act as a public adjuster on the same job they are bidding. Be wary of any offer to waive or absorb your deductible, which is not lawful.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Keller?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and inspection rules are set by each city. Keller, Fort Worth, and the surrounding towns each have their own requirements. Ask your contractor to state in writing whether a permit is being pulled and who pulls it.
How do I verify a roofer's insurance?
Ask for a certificate of insurance issued directly by the insurance agent with you listed as certificate holder. Look for general liability and workers compensation, and check the policy dates cover your install. Texas does not require private employers to carry workers compensation, so it is worth confirming rather than assuming.
