About
Zenith Roofing & Waterproofing is the trading name of Zenith Roofing Services, L.L.C., a commercial roofing and building envelope contractor headquartered at 3200 West Bolt Street in Fort Worth. The company's own account is that Allan Rodger founded it in 1980 as a residential operation in North Texas before moving into commercial and industrial work across Dallas Fort Worth, and it markets 45 plus years of commercial roofing experience. The Better Business Bureau lists the business under Allan G. Rodger as President and Blaine Sippy as a member, with an A+ rating.
The scope goes well beyond roofing. Alongside commercial roof inspection, replacement, maintenance and repair, the company sells waterproofing (fluid applied and sheet applied membranes, deck coatings, joint sealants and sealant repair), building restoration (masonry and brick repair, repointing and tuckpointing, structural concrete, epoxy injection and expansion joints), custom sheet metal, and roof safety work including guard railing, roof hatches, anchors and davits and lightning protection. It also runs a maintenance programme it calls the Envelope Smart Plan and a residential and steep slope commercial division. Roofing systems named on the site include modified bitumen, built up roofing, metal, TPO, EPDM and PVC, plus elastomeric coatings and fluid applied membranes.
Public sector and institutional work is an explicit part of the business. The company markets government and cooperative procurement services and states it holds TIPS-USA contract number 210205, along with Davis-Bacon, Buy American and EM 385-1-1 safety compliance. A second office at 4040 Broadway Street in San Antonio covers the San Antonio, Austin and Houston markets. Tarrant County is inland, so hail, wind driven rain and heat cycling on large low slope roofs are the relevant local pressures rather than coastal windstorm certification.

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
Required in Fort Worth Permit office ↗Contractor Registration (Development Services Department; Fort Worth Building Administrative Code Sec. 118). Registration is required here to pull a roofing permit; we have not confirmed this company's own status, so check it before you sign.

RegionFort Worth
Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #02-0651 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.

I had hail damage from the April 2021 Texas hail storm. Zenith has been great throughout the whole process. They came out, looked at my roof and gutters and gave me an estimate quickly. The estimate was comparable with other companies but I choose them because of their better communication and explanation as to what was needed for my roof/gutters. They scheduled my roof to be replaced within 2 weeks, and they did the whole roof in one day. The next day they came and did the gutters which took about 4 hours. Everything was cleaned up and an inspector came and checked over the roof, gutters, my home equipment in the attic and the yard to make sure nothing was missed/damaged in the process (nothing was). They made this process simple and answered all my questions throughout. I hope I don’t need a new roof for a long time but if I do I will definitely be going back to Zenith!!

We had a great experience with every contact from inspection, sales, roofing, and gutters. Our choices were heard and they delivered exactly as we requested and agreed upon. Quality work, clean up, and communication though the process.

Frequently asked
Is Zenith a residential roofer or a commercial one?
It is primarily commercial and industrial. The site is built around commercial roofing, waterproofing, building restoration and sheet metal, with a smaller residential and steep slope commercial division. If you are a homeowner needing a single asphalt shingle roof replaced, a residential specialist may be a better fit. If you manage a building, a school district or a facility with a low slope roof, this is the type of contractor the work suits.
Is Zenith BBB Accredited?
No. The Better Business Bureau gives Zenith Roofing Services, L.L.C. an A+ rating but the profile states the business is not BBB Accredited. Those are two different things. The rating is BBB's own assessment; accreditation is a paid programme a business opts into. A high rating without accreditation is common among established commercial contractors and is not a negative signal on its own.
How long has Zenith been in business?
The company's own history page says Allan Rodger founded it in 1980 and the site markets 45 plus years of commercial roofing experience. The BBB profile records a slightly different picture, listing 39 years in business with a start date of January 1987 and a date of incorporation of February 2010, which is typical when an operating business is later restructured into a new legal entity. Either way this is a long established North Texas contractor, not a new arrival.
Is Zenith licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not license roofing contractors at state level, so no Texas roofer holds a state roofing licence. On commercial work the checks that matter are current general liability and workers compensation insurance verified with the insurer, adequate coverage limits for the contract value, bonding capacity where the job requires it, standing with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, and the safety record. Ask for the certificate of insurance to come directly from the agent.
This listing shows RCAT Member. What does that mean?
It means the company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. It is not the same as the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which is achieved through RCAT's own testing and experience requirements and is held by a named individual. Both are legitimate. They are simply not interchangeable, and anyone using licensed loosely should be asked to be specific.
What is a cooperative purchasing contract and why does it matter?
Cooperative purchasing programmes such as TIPS-USA let public entities buy from a vendor on pre negotiated, already competitively procured terms instead of running a separate bid. For a school district, city or public agency it shortens procurement time considerably. Zenith states it holds TIPS-USA contract number 210205. Verify the contract number and its expiry directly on the TIPS-USA vendor listing before relying on it for a purchase.
Does windstorm certification or a WPI-8 apply in Fort Worth?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certification applies to the 14 first tier Texas coastal counties covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, plus part of Harris County. Tarrant County is inland and outside that programme. What does drive North Texas roofing is hail, wind uplift on large low slope roofs, and thermal cycling through hot summers, so wind uplift ratings, edge metal detailing and drainage matter more here than any coastal certificate.
What should a commercial roof maintenance programme actually cover?
At minimum scheduled inspections at least twice a year plus after significant storms, drain and gutter clearing, sealant and flashing checks at penetrations and curbs, minor repairs included within the fee, and a written photographic condition report each visit with a repair versus replace recommendation. Ask what is included in the fee and what triggers an extra charge, and ask whether the programme protects your manufacturer warranty, which usually requires documented maintenance.
Should waterproofing and roofing be handled by the same contractor?
On a building where leaks could be coming from either the roof or the walls, it usually helps. Water tracking down through masonry, failed joint sealants or a parapet can look exactly like a roof leak, and when roofing and waterproofing sit with separate contractors the diagnosis can bounce between them. A single envelope scope removes that argument. The trade off is less competitive tension on price, so still benchmark the numbers.
What should a building owner nail down before awarding a commercial roof contract?
The specified system and manufacturer plus the exact warranty being provided, including whether it is a manufacturer NDL warranty or contractor workmanship only and what each covers. The tear off versus recover decision and the deck condition allowance with a unit price. Wind uplift design for the building height and exposure. Who handles permits, since Texas has no statewide code and requirements are set city by city. Safety documentation and a site specific plan. And the maintenance obligations that keep the warranty valid after handover.
