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.
CompanyAlter-Rain Roofing Systems
InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
City/county registration
Required in Lubbock Permit office ↗Contractor Registration (City Code Article 28.04). Registration is required here to pull a roofing permit; we have not confirmed this company's own status, so check it before you sign.
Status Current in the RCAT directory (no published licence number for this record)
RCAT member ID321 (member since 2017)
Licence boardRCAT, Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (Texas issues no state roofing licence; RCAT runs the licensing programme)
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Alter-Rain Roofing Systems licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a statewide roofing license, so no roofing company, including Alter-Rain, can be state licensed. Trust in a Texas roofer instead comes from insurance verification, RCAT status, and local reputation. Alter-Rain lists itself as an RCAT Member and is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT Membership means a company pays dues to join the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The separate Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL/RRL/CRL) has to be earned individually. Alter-Rain is listed in RCAT's directory as a plain Member, not as holding the separately earned Licensed credential.
Does Alter-Rain Roofing Systems handle hail damage claims?
Alter-Rain offers residential and commercial roof repair and replacement, which typically covers hail damage work common in the Lubbock area, though homeowners should confirm insurance claim assistance directly with the company for their specific situation.
What roofing materials does Alter-Rain install?
Alter-Rain works with metal, tar, TPO, and foam roofing systems for both residential and commercial properties, based on the services listed on its own website.
Should I ask about impact-resistant Class 4 shingles for hail country?
In North and West Texas 'Hail Alley,' Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can reduce storm damage and sometimes qualify for an insurance discount. It is worth asking any Lubbock roofer, including Alter-Rain, whether Class 4 shingle options are available for a specific project.
Does Alter-Rain Roofing Systems pull permits for roofing jobs?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and inspection requirements are set city by city. Homeowners should confirm directly with Alter-Rain and the City of Lubbock whether a permit is required for a given roofing project.
What should I ask before signing a contract with Alter-Rain?
Before signing with Alter-Rain or any Texas roofer, ask for proof of current liability insurance, a written scope of work, material and labor warranty terms, and an estimated project timeline.
