About
214 Roofing is a woman owned, family operated roofing contractor based in Grand Prairie. Its BBB file records a business start date of 27 July 2007, BBB accreditation since April 2011 and an A+ rating, and names Brenda K. Cabrera as the principal. The BBB profile also records the alternate names 214-Roofing and Cabrera Roofing & Trash Removal.
The company works on both steep slope and flat roofs, listing roof inspection, installation, repair, replacement and waterproofing, plus gutters and siding. Materials named on its own site include architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing systems, TPO and liquid applied waterproofing membranes, and impact rated products. A large part of the work is insurance claim driven, which is typical for the hail belt this part of North Texas sits in.
The registered address is a house on Wood Thrush Street in Grand Prairie, so this is an owner run business working from a home base rather than a storefront. That is common for contractors of this size and is not by itself a concern. The company appears in the Owens Corning contractor directory as a Preferred Contractor.

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.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Arlington Check the register ↗Registered contractor, City of Arlington. Arlington registers roofing companies in its general contractor category; its published dataset carries no registration number and no expiry date, and the dataset itself may lag by some months.. 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.
RegionGrand Prairie
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
Why is a Grand Prairie company called 214 Roofing?
214 is the Dallas area code. The company trades under that brand while operating from a Grand Prairie address in Dallas County and serving both sides of the metroplex, including Arlington and Fort Worth. The name is the brand, not a description of where crews will travel.
Is 214 Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas issues no state roofing licence, so no roofing company in Texas holds one. Trust here rests on other things: current insurance you verify yourself, the BBB accreditation on file since 2011, manufacturer approval such as the Owens Corning Preferred Contractor listing, and city registration where a city requires it.
Does the company appear in the RCAT directory?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory did not return a record for this company. That is not a mark against it. RCAT is a voluntary trade association, not a licensing authority, and plenty of long established Texas roofers are not members.
How long has the business been operating?
The BBB file gives a business start date of 27 July 2007. The company's own site describes over 20 years of experience in the trade, which refers to the owners' background rather than the trading life of this business.
Does it handle insurance claims?
Yes, roof insurance claim assistance is listed on the company's own site. On any Texas hail claim, remember it is illegal for a contractor to offer to pay, waive or rebate your deductible, so treat any such offer as a warning sign rather than a discount.
What are impact rated shingles and are they worth it in Grand Prairie?
Impact rated Class 4 shingles are tested against a steel ball drop and resist hail bruising better than standard shingles. Grand Prairie sits inland in the North Texas hail belt, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Ask your own carrier what discount applies before deciding.
Does the company do flat roofs?
Yes. TPO and liquid applied waterproofing membranes are named on the company's own site alongside shingle and metal work, so both steep slope houses and low slope or flat sections are covered.
What is the business address?
The company registers a residential address on Wood Thrush Street in Grand Prairie, Dallas County. It is an owner run operation working from a home base rather than a shop or showroom, which is normal for a contractor of this size.
Do I need a permit for a reroof in Grand Prairie?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is decided city by city. Grand Prairie runs its own permit and inspection process. Confirm with the contractor that a permit is pulled and an inspection booked, and keep the final payment until the inspection passes.
What should I check before signing?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurance agent covering general liability and, if the company carries it, workers compensation. Get the scope in writing including decking replacement pricing, underlayment and ventilation. Confirm which manufacturer warranty the specific system qualifies for, and avoid paying the full contract price before work starts.
