About
Ingram Builders is the trading name of Ingram Roofing & Construction, Inc., a family run roofing and construction firm at 17430 Bandera Road in Helotes, on the north west edge of Bexar County. The company traces its start to 1984, when Brett J. Ingram founded Ingram Construction. His father, Lee Ingram, joined in 1986 to launch the roofing side of the business, custom home building was added in 1994, and the company was incorporated in 1995. The Better Business Bureau records a business start date of January 1, 1986 and an incorporation date of June 14, 1995, and lists Brett Ingram as president.
Roofing runs alongside custom home building and remodeling rather than replacing it. BBB lists composition roofing, metal roofing and roof replacement among the company's services, together with home additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, outdoor kitchen construction, energy efficient homes and new home construction. The company states that it serves San Antonio, New Braunfels, Boerne and the surrounding Hill Country.
Ingram Roofing & Construction appears in the Owens Corning contractor directory as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, listed at the same Bandera Road address and the same (210) 695-5104 number, which is how that credential was verified. The company is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, accredited since January 2007. It states membership of the National Association of Home Builders, the Texas Association of Home Builders and the Greater San Antonio Home Builders Association, and describes itself as a CPS Energy Smart Energy Builder. A search of the RCAT member directory returned no record for this company.

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)
RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — San Antonio #1414804-H14321Check the registry ↗City Residential Building Cntr. This registration shows as expired on 8/5/2026, so ask the company whether it has been renewed.
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
Is Ingram Builders the same company as Ingram Roofing & Construction?
Yes. Ingram Roofing & Construction, Inc. is the legal entity and Ingram Builders is the name it trades and markets under. The Better Business Bureau lists Ingram Roofing & Construction Inc as an alternate business name for Ingram Builders at the same Helotes address.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence, so no Helotes or San Antonio roofer is state licensed. Trust here rests on the contractor's insurance, any city or county registration that applies to the job location, and voluntary credentials such as manufacturer certification.
Is Ingram Builders an RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory returned no record for this company. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence says nothing about workmanship. The company's verified third party credential is its Owens Corning Preferred Contractor listing.
What does Owens Corning Preferred Contractor actually mean?
Preferred is the entry tier of the Owens Corning contractor network. A Preferred contractor has met Owens Corning's requirements on insurance, licensing where applicable and standing, and can offer certain Owens Corning system warranties. It is a manufacturer credential, not a government licence.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed?
RCAT Member means a company pays association dues. The RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, shown as CRRL, RRL or CRL, is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. The two are not interchangeable, and neither is issued by the state.
Does a Helotes job need a City of San Antonio permit?
It depends on where the property sits. Helotes is its own municipality inside Bexar County and runs its own permitting, while addresses inside San Antonio city limits go through San Antonio Development Services. Texas has no statewide building code, so always confirm which jurisdiction the property falls in.
How much hail damage should I expect in this part of Bexar County?
The north west side of Bexar County and the Hill Country corridor toward Boerne take damaging hail most springs. Hail is the leading reason roofs here are replaced ahead of schedule, and it is worth photographing your roof while it is in good condition so you have a baseline for any future claim.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth the extra cost?
In hail exposed parts of Texas they usually are. Class 4 shingles pass a two inch steel ball impact test and most Texas insurers give a premium discount for them. Ask your insurer what the discount is, then weigh it against the price difference over the life of the roof.
How does San Antonio heat affect roof life?
Sustained summer heat and high UV load make asphalt shingles age faster than the same product would in a cooler state. Granule loss and brittleness show up earlier. Correct attic ventilation and adequate intake at the eaves are among the cheapest ways to extend roof life here.
What should I get in writing before work starts?
Get the shingle brand, product line and colour, the underlayment type, the ventilation and flashing work included, the workmanship warranty length, which manufacturer warranty is being registered, who pulls the permit, and the payment schedule. Also get a current certificate of insurance and ring the agent named on it.
