About
4 Alarm Roofing LLC is a North Texas roofing contractor whose own website publishes a single office at 14333 FM 121, Suite 1, Van Alstyne, Texas 75495, in Grayson County. The address carried on the City of Plano general contractor register, 1221 Skyflower Ln, is a house in the Light Farms neighbourhood of Celina in Collin County, so it reads as a principal's residence used as an address of record rather than as a second office.
The company handles residential roofing and leak repair, commercial work ranging from small repairs through full replacements and roof system conversions, and storm and hail response. Better Business Bureau records give a business start date of 24 September 2018, list the company as a Texas limited liability company, and name Joel Boyd as manager with Josh Boyd and Nathan Boyd as managing members. BBB shows an A plus rating on a file opened in October 2018.
The company describes itself as firefighter owned and operated, saying the Boyd brothers are career firefighters who grew up in the North Dallas area and live in the communities they serve. That is the company's own statement on its website. Public records confirm the Boyd surnames as the LLC's members but do not independently confirm the fire service careers. It likewise states that it is a GAF Certified and CertainTeed Certified roofer, which we could not confirm on either manufacturer's own contractor directory.

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 — Plano Check the register ↗Registered general contractor, City of Plano. Roofing companies register in Plano's general contractor category, which also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign work; it is a $100 annual registration renewed yearly, and the city's published requirements do not list proof of insurance or a bond. 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.
RegionVan Alstyne
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 4 Alarm Roofing the same company as 1st Alarm Roofing?
No. They are two entirely separate businesses that happen to share a fire theme in the name. 4 Alarm Roofing LLC operates from Van Alstyne on 972-232-1238. Do not assume any shared ownership, staff, warranty or history between the two.
Is the company really firefighter owned?
That is the company's own statement on its website, which says the Boyd brothers are career firefighters who grew up in the North Dallas area. Public records confirm Joel, Josh and Nathan Boyd as the LLC's manager and managing members but do not independently confirm the fire service careers. Ask them directly if it matters to you.
Where is the company actually based?
Its own website publishes one office, 14333 FM 121 Suite 1, Van Alstyne, Texas 75495, in Grayson County. The address on the City of Plano contractor register, 1221 Skyflower Ln, is a house in Celina, Collin County, and looks like a principal's residence used as an address of record rather than a staffed branch.
Are its GAF and CertainTeed certifications confirmed?
The company states on its own website that it is a GAF Certified and CertainTeed Certified roofer. We could not find a matching profile for it in either manufacturer's own contractor directory, so treat these as company stated. Ask for the certificate or the manufacturer profile link before you rely on an enhanced warranty.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so no roofer in this state is state licensed. What you can actually verify is a current general liability and workers compensation certificate sent by the insurance agent, city or county registration where the ordinance requires it, and voluntary industry credentials.
Is 4 Alarm Roofing listed with RCAT?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory returned no record for this company, including on a broadened search, so the accurate wording is not found via RCAT search. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence is not a mark against a contractor.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
A Member pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is a separate qualification earned through RCAT's own requirements and testing. The two are not equivalent, and neither one is a government licence.
Why is hail the main driver of roof work in Grayson and Collin counties?
This stretch of North Texas sits in the hail corridor. Spring storms, rather than wind or simple wear, cause most roof replacements here. Ask a roofer how many hail claims they have handled in your zip code and what they typically document that a first adjuster visit misses.
Should I upgrade to Class 4 impact resistant shingles?
Class 4 is the top result in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test and resists hail bruising much better than standard shingles. Many Texas insurers discount premiums for them. Call your own carrier for the exact discount on your policy before deciding, because that figure drives whether the upgrade pays back.
What should I settle in writing before roofing work starts?
The certificate of insurance sent straight from the agent. A scope naming the shingle line, underlayment, flashing and ventilation work. Manufacturer and workmanship warranty terms. Who pulls the permit, since Texas has no statewide code administration and each city sets its own rules. And no deductible waiver, which is unlawful in Texas.
