About
Red ARK Roofing & Exteriors is a New Braunfels based exterior contractor that treats the roof as one part of the building envelope rather than the whole job. Its Central Texas office is at 1308 E Common Street, Suite 205, New Braunfels, TX 78130, in Comal County, and from there it covers New Braunfels, San Antonio, Austin and the corridor between them. The company describes itself as locally owned, operated and insured, and names Roman Aujon and Aaron Kantor as its founders with more than 15 years in the trade.
The service list is unusually broad for a roofing company. Alongside residential and commercial roof replacement, repair and free inspections, it sells siding, windows, gutters, insulation, skylights and garage doors, run through what it describes as specialised crews per trade. On the roofing side it installs and repairs asphalt shingles, standing seam and other metal systems, and clay or concrete tile, and for commercial work it lists EPDM and TPO membranes. Inspections are marketed as a ten point check, and financing and warranty options are offered.
The company is not only Texan. Its own site lists a Houston branch at 110 April Wind Court in Montgomery, a Nebraska and Iowa branch in Omaha, and a Denver branch, so storm and hail restoration across several states is part of the model. Anyone hiring in the New Braunfels and San Antonio area should ask which crew will actually be on the roof and where they are based, since that is the practical difference between a resident branch and a travelling storm operation. The company publishes (855) 988-7663 as its Central Texas and Houston number; the San Antonio registration carries a local (210) 396-8434 line instead.

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 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.
Certifications
Certified manufacturer installer (company-stated on redarkroofing.com; the brand is not named on the site and no manufacturer contractor profile for the company was located, so unverified)Company-reported — ask to see the certificate
Its Central Texas office is 1308 E Common Street, Suite 205, New Braunfels, TX 78130, in Comal County. The company also lists a Houston branch in Montgomery, an Omaha branch covering Nebraska and Iowa, and a Denver branch. For a San Antonio or New Braunfels job, ask which crew is assigned and where they are based.
Is the company licensed by the State of Texas?
There is no such thing to hold. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so the meaningful checks are current general liability and workers compensation insurance, city or county contractor registration where the work happens, and voluntary industry credentials. Red ARK describes itself as insured; ask for the certificate with your address on it.
Is Red ARK a member of RCAT?
We searched the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory at web.rcat.net for Red ARK, RedArk, Ark and both founders' surnames and found no record for the company, so this is not found via RCAT search. The Ark search returned 39 unrelated Texas and out-of-state records. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence is not a mark against a roofer.
What does the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential mean?
It is a credential earned separately from plain membership, shown in the RCAT directory as CRRL, RRL or CRL with a licence number, and it involves testing and continuing education. Paying dues as a Member is not the same thing. If a roofer tells you they are RCAT licensed, the directory record is where you confirm it.
Which phone number should I use?
The company publishes (855) 988-7663 for its Central Texas and Houston branches on its own website. The City of San Antonio registration carries a local (210) 396-8434 number instead. Either should reach the business, but the 855 line is the one the company itself advertises.
Are the manufacturer certifications verified?
No. The site says certified manufacturer installer without naming a brand, and we could not find a company profile on any manufacturer contractor directory. That matters because an extended manufacturer system warranty can usually only be issued by a contractor enrolled with that manufacturer. Ask which brand certifies them and ask to see the certificate before you rely on a system warranty.
Do they do more than roofs?
Yes, and that is the main thing that distinguishes them. Siding, windows, gutters, insulation, skylights and garage doors are all listed, run by separate crews. If a hailstorm hit the roof, the siding and the window screens at once, a single contractor handling all of it can simplify the claim considerably.
How does hail affect roofs in Comal and Bexar counties?
Both counties sit in the Central Texas hail belt and take repeated spring storms. Hail bruises asphalt shingles and dents metal panels, vents and gutter aprons, and much of it cannot be seen from the ground. After a storm with hail near or above one inch, book a documented inspection promptly so photographs exist inside your policy's reporting window.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth the upgrade in New Braunfels?
Usually yes. Class 4 shingles are tested against a two-inch steel ball drop, and most Texas carriers give a premium discount for them that offsets part of the upgrade over the roof's life. Ask your insurer what the credit is before deciding, and make sure the specific Class 4 product is written into the contract rather than described in general terms.
What should I check before signing with any exterior contractor?
Confirm the certificate of insurance names your address, ask who pulls the permit with the city, ask whether crews are employees or subcontractors and where they are based, get the products named by line rather than by category, agree in advance how replacement decking is priced, and get the workmanship warranty term in writing separate from the manufacturer warranty. Never pay in full before work starts.
