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
Required in Waxahachie Permit office ↗Contractor Registration (Code of Ordinances Ch. 8, Article XIV). Registration is required here to pull a roofing permit; we have not confirmed this company's own status, so check it before you sign.

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Abacat Contracting licensed in Texas?

Does Abacat Contracting carry insurance?
Ask for current proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance before signing, since Texas licensing rules do not verify this automatically.

In addition to roof inspection and restoration, the company handles bathroom and kitchen remodeling, water damage restoration, and general contracting, including insurance and REO work.
Does Abacat Contracting help with hail damage insurance claims?
The company's service description covers insurance-related restoration work; ask directly about its process for documenting storm and hail damage for a claim.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles available in the Waxahachie area?
Waxahachie sits in North Texas hail country, so it is worth asking Abacat Contracting whether Class 4 impact-resistant shingle options are available and whether your insurer offers a premium discount for them.
Does Waxahachie require a permit for roof replacement?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set city by city. Confirm with Abacat Contracting whether the required city permit and inspection will be pulled.
