About
Abba Construction is a Laredo general contractor handling roofing, structural steel, concrete and other multi-trade construction work. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as started in August 2010 and as a BBB Accredited Business, with managing member Jacob C Flores.
Recent public work includes the roof replacement at the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, completed using Sika Sarnafil single-ply roofing materials.
Abba Construction is not primarily a residential roofing specialist; its own website emphasizes complex, multi-trade commercial and infrastructure projects rather than homeowner reroofing.
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
Not checked for LaredoTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Does Texas require Abba Construction to hold a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Roofing and general contractors are not licensed by any Texas state agency, so trust comes from insurance coverage and BBB standing, not a state license number.
How can a homeowner or building owner verify Abba Construction's insurance coverage?
Ask the contractor for a current certificate of insurance naming you or the job address, then confirm directly with the insurance carrier that the policy is active before work begins. Do not rely solely on a certificate emailed by the contractor.
Does a roofing project in Laredo require a permit?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set by each city and county. Check directly with the City of Laredo building and permits office for current roofing permit requirements before work starts.
What should a property owner ask before signing a contract with Abba Construction?
Get a written, itemized estimate covering materials, scope of work, cleanup, timeline and warranty terms. Ask who pulls the permit, what happens if hidden structural issues are found, and get warranty terms in writing before signing.
How does an insurance claim work for storm or wind damage?
Contact your insurance carrier to request an adjuster inspection, then get an independent contractor estimate to compare against the adjuster's scope. A reputable contractor documents damage with photos and works from the approved insurance scope.
What roofing materials hold up best in Laredo's climate?
Laredo's high heat, humidity and occasional heavy rain call for materials rated for sustained UV and heat exposure and reliable water sealing at flashings and penetrations. Ask any contractor which of their products are suited to South Texas heat and rain.
How long does a typical commercial roof replacement take?
Commercial flat-roof or single-ply projects can take anywhere from several days to multiple weeks depending on building size, material and weather. Get a specific time estimate in writing for your project.
What warranty should be expected on a roof installed by Abba Construction?
Expect at minimum a manufacturer's material warranty on the roofing system (for example, Sika Sarnafil), plus the contractor's own workmanship warranty covering installation defects. Ask the company to specify both warranty lengths and what voids them before work begins.
Does Abba Construction handle residential reroofing?
Its public work and website emphasize commercial and infrastructure projects rather than typical homeowner reroofing, so residential customers should confirm directly whether the company takes on smaller home jobs.
Is Abba Construction listed with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?
A search of the RCAT member directory for this company returned no results as of this listing. RCAT membership and its separately-earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential are voluntary, so an unlisted contractor is not automatically less qualified. Verify current insurance and BBB standing directly with the company.
