About
Argio Roofing & Construction is a family-owned commercial roofing contractor headquartered at 413 South A Street in Harlingen, Texas, in business since October 2007. The company specializes in new roof construction, re-roofs, roof recoveries, overlays and coatings, maintenance, repairs, and waterproofing for schools, municipalities, state agencies, and other commercial and public facilities.
The company is a certified installer for national roofing manufacturers including Berridge, Duro-Last, GAF, Johns Manville, McElroy Metal, Carlisle, and Tremco, and it installs SBS modified bitumen, single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM), elastomeric coatings, and standing seam metal roofing, including custom sheet metal fabrication out of its South Texas shop. Argio holds a Texas Commercial and Residential Roofing License (CRRL #03-0325) and is also licensed in Arizona and Louisiana.
Argio has been a Member of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas since 2017. Cameron County, where Harlingen is located, is one of the 14 first-tier Texas windstorm (TWIA/WPI-8) coastal counties, so WPI-8 windstorm inspection and certification is a relevant consideration for roofing work in this area.

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 #03-0325 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
Does Texas issue a state roofing license?
No, Texas has no statewide roofing license. Argio Roofing & Construction holds a Texas Commercial & Residential Roofing License (CRRL) issued through RCAT's licensing program; insurance verification and any local Harlingen or Cameron County registration are the relevant checks, not a state license.
What is WPI-8 windstorm certification, and does it matter in Harlingen?
WPI-8 is the Texas Department of Insurance's windstorm inspection certification required for coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) in the 14 first-tier coastal counties. Cameron County, where Harlingen is located, is one of these first-tier counties, so a WPI-8 certificate of compliance is often needed to insure a new or repaired roof through TWIA.
How is WPI-8 different from a building permit?
A building permit is issued by the local city or county and covers code compliance. WPI-8 is a separate windstorm inspection process tied to TWIA insurance eligibility in coastal counties. A roof may need both a permit and a WPI-8 inspection depending on the project and insurer.
What does RCAT Membership mean versus RCAT Licensed status?
RCAT Membership means a company pays dues to belong to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. It is different from the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor (CRRL) credential. Homeowners and facility managers should ask a contractor directly which status applies.
Does Cameron County require roofing permits for commercial buildings?
Permitting is handled locally by the city or county rather than the state, so requirements can vary between Harlingen, Rio Hondo, and unincorporated Cameron County. Building owners should confirm permit requirements with their local building department before work begins.
What roofing materials hold up best against Rio Grande Valley wind and heat?
Commercial buildings in this region commonly use single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM), modified bitumen, or standing seam metal roofing, which are designed to handle high wind uplift and intense sun exposure. A contractor's manufacturer certifications indicate which systems they are trained to install correctly.
How can a facility manager verify a commercial roofer is properly insured?
Request a certificate of insurance showing general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and confirm the policy is active directly with the carrier before signing a contract.
What should a commercial roofing contract include?
A written contract should specify the roofing system and manufacturer, scope of work, total price and payment schedule, project timeline, and both the manufacturer's material warranty and the contractor's workmanship warranty.
Are manufacturer certifications like GAF or Duro-Last important for a commercial roof?
Yes. Manufacturer certifications typically mean the contractor has been trained on that system's specific installation requirements, which can affect whether the manufacturer's warranty stays valid.
What should I ask before hiring any roofing contractor in South Texas?
Ask for proof of insurance, references from similar commercial or municipal projects, manufacturer certifications, and confirmation of RCAT status (Member or Licensed) before signing any agreement.
