About
A & M Construction is a storm restoration and remodeling contractor based at 611 Ferris Road in Lancaster, in southern Dallas County. The BBB file for the company records a start date of January 2002 and lists Brad D. Taylor as principal, with BBB accreditation held continuously since June 2006 and an A+ rating. The company brands itself on amroofer.com as "Storm Restoration and Remodeling Experts" and its work centres on insurance claim roof replacements rather than one off retail jobs.
The roofing side covers full roof replacement, roof repair, exterior and interior repairs after a storm, emergency repairs, and free no obligation roof inspections. The company also does kitchen and bathroom remodeling, which is common for restoration firms that end up repairing interior damage from a roof leak. Its own services page names GAF Lifetime HD shingles, and its materials page lists GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Tamko, IKO, DaVinci, Decra, Berridge and True Slate among the products it installs, alongside metal roofing options.
The registration phone number carries a 713 (Houston) area code even though the registered address is in Lancaster. The company's own site explains this reasonably well: it names Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and Corpus Christi as areas it works and claims BBB membership across those same four markets, and it also publishes a toll free 877 line. There is no evidence of a separately staffed Houston office on the company's site, its BBB file or any directory listing, so the honest reading is a Lancaster base that chases storm work across several Texas metros, with the 713 number one of the lines it answers.

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
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionLancaster
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 A & M Construction licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and neither is any other roofer. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence. What exists instead is city level registration (the City of Dallas requires a Contractor Certificate of Registration under Chapter 52 of its city code), plus voluntary credentials such as RCAT status and manufacturer certifications. Judge a Texas roofer on insurance, registration, references and manufacturer standing rather than on a state licence that does not exist.
Is A & M Construction listed with RCAT?
No record for this company was found via the RCAT directory search. Note that RCAT does list a separate Fort Worth company called A&M Construction & Roofing, which is a different business with a different phone number and address. RCAT membership is voluntary in any case, so its absence is not a mark against a contractor.
Why does the phone number have a Houston area code if the company is in Lancaster?
The registered address is 611 Ferris Road in Lancaster, in Dallas County, but the company's own website lists Houston and Corpus Christi alongside Dallas and Fort Worth as areas it works, and it publishes a toll free 877 line as well. Storm restoration firms often keep numbers tied to markets they have worked. There is no evidence of a separate staffed Houston office.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
They are not the same thing. A Member simply pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. When a contractor says it is "RCAT licensed", ask which of the two it holds and ask to see the certificate.
What should I ask about hail damage before signing anything in Dallas County?
Ask the contractor to show you the specific damage on your roof in photographs, to explain whether the damage is functional or cosmetic, and to put the scope in writing before any claim is filed. Ask who talks to your insurer and what happens if the claim is denied. Never sign a contract that is contingent on an insurance payout without reading the cancellation terms.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in the Dallas area?
For most North Texas homeowners, yes. Dallas County sits in the part of Texas that takes the most hail, and Class 4 rated shingles are tested to resist impact far better than standard products. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, so ask your carrier what the discount is and weigh it against the material upcharge before you choose.
Does a roofer need to be registered with the City of Dallas?
Yes. The City of Dallas requires contractors performing work in the city to hold a Contractor Certificate of Registration under Chapter 52 of the city code. A & M Construction appears on the City of Dallas registered contractor list. Registration is an administrative requirement rather than a skills test, so treat it as a baseline rather than a recommendation.
How do I verify a roofer's insurance?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurance agent to you, not a photocopy handed over by the salesperson. It should show general liability and, if the company has employees, workers compensation. Texas does not require most contractors to carry workers compensation, so if they do not have it, ask in writing who is liable if a worker is injured on your roof.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A & M Construction states on its own site that most roofs are completed in two days. That is typical for an average sized single family asphalt shingle roof in good weather. Larger roofs, steep pitches, metal systems, or roofs with significant decking damage take longer, and any Texas schedule can slip when storms move through.
Should I use my insurance claim or pay out of pocket?
That depends on your deductible and the size of the loss. If the repair cost is close to your deductible, a claim may not be worth filing. Be aware that Texas law makes it an offence for a contractor to pay, waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible, so a roofer offering to "cover your deductible" is offering to break the law and should be avoided.
