About
Telge Roofing is a family owned residential and commercial roofing contractor based at 15915 Telge Road in Cypress, in northwest Harris County. The company has operated since 2009 and works across the greater Houston area and southeast Texas, with a service list built around free roof inspections, repairs, full replacements, restoration, maintenance, roof and gutter cleaning, attic ventilation and emergency call outs.
The strongest verified credential is with GAF. Telge Roofing appears in GAF's own contractor directory as a Master Elite roofer (certification ME26298), and the company is listed among GAF's 2026 President's Club three star award winners. Master Elite is a restricted tier that GAF limits to a small share of its certified contractors, and it is the qualification that lets a roofer offer GAF's stronger system warranties. The company is also BBB accredited, with accreditation dating to September 2010.
On the RCAT side, the directory record for Telge Roofing shows plain membership beginning in 2020. The company's own website describes it as an "RCAT Certified Contractor", which is a looser phrase than the directory supports. RCAT membership and RCAT's separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential are not the same thing, and homeowners comparing bids should ask which one a contractor actually holds. Telge Roofing is a Platinum Sponsor of the Cy-Fair Chamber of Commerce.

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.

InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
City/county registration

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.

I had my roof replaced by TELGE ROOFING. They did an amazing job. It gives the house a view and feel of newness. Even my 15 year old daughter recognized it and showed love. I must say special thanks to IVAN GARCIA, who came out promptly, assessed the damage, provided sound advice and coordinated the replacement. You and your team did an excellent job sir and I am more than pleased.

Josh with Telge Roofing was exceptional handling our new metal roof. He kept us updated every step of the way with Arial pictures as we were out of town during most of the installation. We highly recommend Josh with his professionalism and genuine caring attitude that gave us peace of mind with him being in charge of this large project. He superseded our expectations and very grateful to him. Our dream roof came true, thank you Josh!

Josh and team went above and beyond for our roof installation! The team provided a great experience! The entire process went exactly how they said it would go. The roof installation was completed on the same day from take down to completely installed. The roof looks fantastic! The work team was polite, efficient and cleaned up everything as if they hadn’t just installed a new roof. We highly recommend them!

Ivan and team at Telge Roofing are outstanding. From start to finish, communication was clear and timely, and he made the entire process seamless.
The crew was punctual, professional, and detail-oriented, and the quality of their work really shows. Our roof looks amazing.
From start, during and finish, Ivan kept us informed and followed up once the installation was complete to make sure we were completely satisfied. If you want a roofing company that delivers excellent results and truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Ivan and Telge Roofing.

I’ve now used Telge Roofing twice, and both experiences have been outstanding. They are extremely professional from start to finish, communicate clearly, and deliver high-quality craftsmanship. The attention to detail really stands out, and you can tell they take pride in their work. It’s not always easy to find a company you trust, but Telge Roofing has earned that with me. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again.

Frequently asked
Is Telge Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No roofer is. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence at all, so any Texas contractor claiming to be "state licensed" for roofing is describing something that does not exist. What you can check instead is proof of general liability and workers compensation insurance, RCAT standing, manufacturer certification, and any registration the City of Houston or Harris County requires for the specific job.
What does Telge Roofing's RCAT status actually mean?
The RCAT directory record shows Telge Roofing as a Member, with membership beginning in 2020. Membership means the company pays dues and belongs to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. That is distinct from RCAT's separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which requires passing an examination. The company's website uses the phrase "RCAT Certified Contractor", which is vaguer than the directory record, so it is worth asking directly which credential is held.
What is GAF Master Elite and why does it matter?
Master Elite is GAF's restricted contractor tier. GAF limits it to a minority of its certified contractors and requires proof of insurance, a track record and ongoing standing. It matters mainly because only Master Elite contractors can offer GAF's enhanced system warranties, which cover workmanship as well as materials. Telge Roofing's Master Elite listing is visible on GAF's own contractor locator, not just on its website.
Does Cypress get hail, and should I pay for impact resistant shingles?
Harris County sits south of the worst of the North and Central Texas hail corridor but still takes damaging hail and wind, particularly in spring. Class 4 impact resistant shingles carry a UL 2218 rating and are tested against a two inch steel ball dropped from twenty feet. Most major Texas carriers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, often in the range of fifteen to thirty percent, so ask your insurer what the discount is before deciding whether the upgrade pays for itself.
Do I need windstorm certification for a roof in Cypress?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certificates and TWIA coverage apply to the fourteen first tier coastal counties along the Gulf. Harris County is not a first tier county, so a Cypress or Houston reroof does not require a WPI-8 inspection. If a contractor tells you otherwise for an inland Harris County address, treat it as a warning sign.
Who handles permits and inspections for a Cypress reroof?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement for residential roofing, so it is decided locally. Much of the Cypress area is unincorporated Harris County rather than inside Houston city limits, and permit requirements differ between the two. Ask the contractor in writing who pulls the permit, whether one is required at your specific address, and who schedules any inspection.
How does an insurance claim for hail or wind damage usually work in Harris County?
You report the loss to your carrier, an adjuster inspects, and the carrier issues a scope and a payment based on replacement cost less depreciation and your deductible. Telge Roofing states that it assists with claims and that its inspections look for hidden hail and wind damage. Under Texas law a contractor cannot act as your public insurance adjuster on the same job it is contracted to repair, so be clear about who is representing you.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly by the insurer, not a copy from the contractor. Ask for the manufacturer certification number so you can look it up yourself. Ask whether the workmanship warranty is backed by the manufacturer or only by the company. Ask who pulls the permit. And ask that the contract state the exact shingle line and colour, the underlayment, the ventilation work and the total price, rather than "insurance proceeds".
Is a manufacturer warranty the same as a workmanship warranty?
No. A manufacturer warranty covers defects in the shingles themselves. A workmanship warranty covers installation errors, which cause most premature roof failures. GAF's enhanced system warranties, available through Master Elite contractors like Telge Roofing, fold workmanship coverage in and are backed by GAF rather than only by the installer, which matters if the installer is no longer trading.
How long does a roof last in the Houston area?
Heat, humidity and UV exposure are the main ageing forces in southeast Texas, and they shorten shingle life relative to milder climates. A standard three tab roof may reach fifteen to twenty years, architectural shingles longer, and impact resistant or metal systems longer still. Ventilation matters as much as the shingle itself, because an under ventilated attic cooks the underside of the deck. Telge Roofing lists attic ventilation as a service line for that reason.
