Hiring a roofer in Texas shouldn't be a gamble
Unlicensed contractors, storm-chasers, and fake reviews are everywhere. Roofing Companies Texas exists so you don't have to guess. Here is exactly how we check every company before it appears, and how you can confirm it yourself.
The checks that protect you
Every company passes these before it ever appears in the directory.
Insurance Verified
Protects you from an uninsured crew on your roof. Texas does not issue a statewide roofing license, so we confirm each company carries general liability and workers' comp insurance, typically via a certificate of insurance (COI) or a direct carrier check. A company that can't show current coverage does not get listed.
City & county registration Where required
The closest thing Texas has to a government-issued credential. Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin each run their own roofing contractor registration. Where a company's city requires one, we confirm it is registered and note which city, and you can confirm the same thing with that city's permit office.
RCAT status, stated precisely Verifiable
Protects you from taking our word for it, and from an overstated claim. RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) has two different things a company can hold: plain paid Membership, or the separately-earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, which requires insurance, experience, and passing an exam. We label these differently, and you can check either one yourself on RCAT's contractor directory.
Real reviews, not cherry-picked Checked
Protects you from fake five-star setups. We weigh verified review volume and rating from public sources, not a single cherry-picked testimonial, and we discount patterns that look inflated.
Storm-zone standards Where required
Protects you if something goes wrong. Texas has no High-Velocity Hurricane Zone like Florida does. For the Gulf Coast counties under Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) rules, we look for contractors able to do TDI WPI-8 windstorm-compliant work with wind-rated materials.
Confirm insurance, RCAT status, and city registration yourself in a few minutes
We check every company's insurance and, where applicable, RCAT status and city or county registration before it's listed. You can verify all three yourself.
Ask the company for a current certificate of insurance (COI) and confirm it with their carrier. If they say they hold RCAT status, search their name on RCAT's contractor directory and check the "RCAT Licensed Contractor" box — that tells you whether they're a plain member or hold the separately-earned Licensed credential. If their city requires contractor registration, confirm it directly with that city's permit office. That is the same check we run on every listing.
An insured roofer protects you if something goes wrong on the job, whether that's property damage or a worker injury. One without current coverage leaves you holding the risk, the cost, and the cleanup.
How to avoid Texas roofing scams
Even with a verified directory, protect yourself with these four rules.
Never sign with a door-knocker
Texas law prohibits roofers from soliciting work door-to-door after a storm. Anyone who shows up uninvited is a red flag, full stop.
Confirm insurance first
Ask for a current certificate of insurance (COI) before you sign anything or pay a deposit. If they can't produce one, walk away.
Be wary of large upfront deposits
A legitimate roofer does not need most of the money before the work starts. Big upfront demands are a classic warning sign.
Get everything in writing
Insist on an itemized written estimate, confirmation of who pulls the permit, and both the workmanship and manufacturer warranties before any work begins.
