About
Tri-Lam Roofing & Waterproofing is a commercial roofing and waterproofing contractor based at 965 West Enon Avenue in Everman, a small city in Tarrant County immediately south of Fort Worth. By the company's own account on its About page, the original Tri-Lam business was formed in San Antonio in 1996 as primarily a general contracting firm, the roofing division was started in Fort Worth in 2005, and the main office has been in Everman since 2011.
The company describes itself as a specialist in multiple manufacturer built-up roof systems and as one of the country's premier applicators of elastomeric roof coating systems, high-rise elastomeric wall coatings and brick restoration systems. It says its clients include corporate and healthcare organisations and private companies, and that other roofing contractors bring Tri-Lam in for waterproofing and coating scopes they are not set up to handle themselves.
This is a commercial and institutional contractor rather than a residential storm-damage company. Nothing on Tri-Lam's own site describes homeowner re-roofing, and its work is described as serving clients nationwide from the Everman office. The company appears in GAF's commercial contractor directory and is listed as an approved vendor on the TIPS purchasing cooperative, which public agencies and school districts use to buy construction services.

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 EvermanTexas 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
What kind of roofing work does Tri-Lam do?
Its own site describes commercial roofing, roof restoration and waterproofing, with a stated specialism in multiple manufacturer built-up roof systems and in elastomeric roof coating and high-rise wall coating systems. It also mentions brick restoration and new construction work.
Does Tri-Lam do residential roofs?
Nothing published on the company's own website describes residential re-roofing. Its About page frames the business around commercial, corporate, healthcare and institutional clients and other roofing contractors, so homeowners should ask directly before assuming residential work is offered.
Is a roofing contractor licensed by the State of Texas?
No. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so nobody roofing in Texas holds one. Verify a contractor instead through general liability and workers' compensation certificates sent by the insurer, standing with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT), and any registration the permitting city requires.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT Membership is a paid trade association membership. The RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL) is separately earned by an individual through RCAT's testing and continuing education requirements. The two are not equivalent and one does not imply the other.
What is a built-up roof and where is it used?
A built-up roof, or BUR, is a low-slope system made from alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing felts, usually finished with gravel or a cap sheet. It is a long-standing choice on flat commercial and institutional buildings and is still specified where durability and repairability matter more than weight or install speed.
When does a roof coating make more sense than a replacement?
Elastomeric coatings are typically used when a low-slope roof is watertight and structurally sound but weathered, because a coating can extend service life and restore reflectivity at a fraction of tear-off cost. They are not a fix for saturated insulation or failed decking. A moisture survey before coating tells you which situation you are in.
How much of a threat is hail to a commercial roof in the Fort Worth area?
North Texas sits in the heart of what the industry calls Hail Alley, and Tarrant County takes damaging hail regularly. On low-slope commercial roofs hail usually shows up as bruising of the membrane or displaced granules and gravel rather than obvious holes, which is why post-storm inspections and documented core samples matter for a claim.
Do I need a permit for commercial roofing work in Tarrant County?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so requirements are set by whichever city or county has jurisdiction. Everman, Fort Worth and each surrounding municipality run their own permitting and inspection process, and unincorporated Tarrant County is different again. Confirm who is pulling the permit before work begins.
What should a facilities or property manager ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for insurance certificates sent directly from the agent, ask whether crews are employed or subcontracted and who covers workers' compensation, ask which manufacturer system is being installed and what warranty that manufacturer will issue, ask what the contractor's own workmanship warranty covers, and ask for references on buildings of the same type and roof system.
Where is Tri-Lam based and how far does it travel?
The office is at 965 West Enon Avenue in Everman, Texas, in Tarrant County just south of Fort Worth. The company states that it serves businesses and organisations nationwide from that location. Published hours are Monday to Thursday 8am to 4pm and Friday 8am to noon.
