About
Despite a business name that gives no hint of the trade, roofing is genuinely what J Arredondo Construction does. The evidence is consistent across independent sources. Owens Corning carries the company in its contractor directory as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, GAF lists it among residential roofing contractors for Live Oak, Texas, its permit record on BuildZoom is residential roofing work, and its only GuildQuality survey response is from a verified roof replacement customer. BuildZoom's rendering of the San Antonio licence record even reads "J Arredondo Rfg & Construction", with "Rfg" short for roofing, which is a further sign that roofing is the registered trade rather than general building.
The business is owner operated. Jose Arredondo Jr. is named as the principal and appears in the one customer review on record, which describes him as professional throughout a roof replacement. The base address on the San Antonio licence record, 7818 Forest Dream, Live Oak, TX 78233, is a residential street, so this reads as a small owner run roofing contractor working out of a home office. That is a normal and legitimate shape for a one or two crew roofing business, not a red flag. A separate mailbox style address, 8235 Agora Pkwy Ste 111 #568 in Selma, appears on its GuildQuality profile and is a mail drop rather than a second premises.
Live Oak is a small city entirely inside Bexar County, wedged into the north east side of San Antonio, and the company is on the City of San Antonio Contractor Connect register, so its working radius is the San Antonio side of Bexar County. No company website could be found, so the service list here is limited to work that independent records actually show. A search of the RCAT directory for this company returned no record.

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.

Does J Arredondo Construction actually do roofing, given the name?
Yes. Owens Corning lists it in its contractor directory as a roofing contractor, GAF lists it under residential roofing contractors for Live Oak, its BuildZoom permit history is residential roofing, and its one GuildQuality survey response comes from a roof replacement customer. The San Antonio licence record is also rendered as "J Arredondo Rfg & Construction", with "Rfg" for roofing.
Where is the company based?
Live Oak, Texas 78233, at a residential address recorded on its San Antonio licence record. Live Oak is a small city entirely inside Bexar County on the north east edge of San Antonio. A mailbox style address in Selma also appears on one directory profile and is a mail drop, not a second office.
Is a home-office roofing contractor a concern?
Not in itself. A small owner run roofing business working from a house is a normal and legitimate setup, and it often means the owner is the person who quotes, supervises and answers the phone. What matters is the same as with any roofer: current insurance, a written scope, a permit pulled in the company's own name and a labour warranty you can hold someone to.
Who runs the business?
Jose Arredondo Jr. is named as the principal. He appears by name in the one verified customer review on record, which describes him as professional throughout a roof replacement job.
Is J Arredondo Construction a member of RCAT?
A search of the RCAT directory returned no record for this company. RCAT, the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, is a voluntary trade body, so no record is not a mark against a contractor. It only means no RCAT membership and no RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential could be confirmed.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed?
They are two separate things and should never be treated as equivalent. RCAT Member means the company pays association dues. The RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's own testing and requirements. Neither is a government licence.
Is there a Texas state roofing licence?
No. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so no Texas roofer holds one, and any contractor implying otherwise is overstating things. Verify current general liability and workers compensation insurance, check city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires it, and treat RCAT status or manufacturer certification as voluntary extras.
What does Owens Corning Preferred Contractor mean?
It is a manufacturer programme tier, not a licence. Owens Corning requires contractors in the programme to meet its own standards for credentials, insurance and customer service, and programme contractors can offer certain Owens Corning system warranties. The company can be found in Owens Corning's own contractor directory, which is the place to confirm current standing.
Should a Bexar County homeowner ask about impact-resistant shingles?
Yes. San Antonio and the wider Bexar County area take regular hail, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the highest rating in the standard hail impact test. Many Texas insurers give a premium credit for a Class 4 roof, so it is worth asking for a Class 4 option to be quoted alongside the standard shingle and confirming the discount with your insurer before choosing.
What should be nailed down before signing with a small roofing contractor?
Get the certificate of insurance sent directly by the insurance agent, not forwarded by the contractor. Get a written scope naming the shingle line, colour, underlayment, flashing and ventilation. Confirm the permit is pulled in the contractor's own name, not yours. Ask what the labour warranty covers, how long it lasts, and get it in writing rather than as a verbal assurance.
