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.

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 a state license for roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Homeowners should instead confirm active general liability and workers' compensation insurance and check trade association standing such as RCAT membership.
What is AF Contracting's RCAT status?
AF Contracting is recorded here as an RCAT Member. This is a dues-paying membership status, separate from RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor (CRRL) credential, which is earned through additional testing.
Is Ellis County affected by Texas windstorm insurance (WPI-8/TWIA) rules?
No. WPI-8 and TWIA windstorm coverage requirements apply only to a defined list of first-tier Gulf Coast counties, and Ellis County (inland, south of Dallas-Fort Worth) is not one of them.
Is hail damage a common concern in Waxahachie?
Yes. Ellis County sits within North Texas's hail-prone corridor, and hail is a leading cause of roof replacement claims in the area. Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles can reduce damage and may qualify for insurance discounts.
Do I need a permit to reroof in Waxahachie?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is handled locally. Check with the City of Waxahachie or Ellis County building department, or ask your contractor to confirm requirements before work begins.
What should I ask a general contractor before signing a roofing contract?
Ask for proof of current insurance, a written scope of work and price, expected timeline, warranty terms, and whether the same crew will handle both roofing and any remodeling work bundled into the job.
How does a typical hail damage insurance claim work?
Document the damage, contact your insurer to schedule an adjuster visit, and get an independent contractor estimate for comparison. Be cautious of any contractor asking you to sign over control of your claim before an adjuster has inspected the roof.
Does BBB accreditation mean a company is fully vetted?
BBB accreditation reflects a company's agreement to BBB standards and its complaint history, which is useful, but it does not replace independently verifying insurance and licensing status yourself.
Why might a small local contractor not have a large online review profile?
Newer or smaller companies, or those relying mainly on referrals, may have limited review counts on major platforms even with a solid track record. Ask directly for local references and recent job addresses when review data is thin.
How can I verify a contractor's insurance coverage myself?
Request a certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder and call the insurance carrier directly to confirm it is active. This directory does not verify insurance itself.
