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.
CompanyAmerican Storm Roofing
InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Not checked for BellaireTexas 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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Is American Storm Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a statewide roofing license, so no roofer in the state carries one. Homeowners should instead confirm current general liability insurance and ask for proof directly from the contractor before signing anything.
Is American Storm Roofing a member of RCAT?
This company was not found via an RCAT directory search. RCAT membership and the separate Licensed Roofing Contractor (CRRL/RRL/CRL) credential are two different things, so ask the company directly which, if either, it holds.
How long has American Storm Roofing been in business?
According to its BBB profile, the business began on April 26, 2007, and has held BBB accreditation since October 31, 2007.
What areas does American Storm Roofing serve?
The company is registered in Bellaire, Texas, with a BBB listing showing an additional location in the Humble area, indicating it serves the wider Houston metro.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail or wind damage to a roof?
Most Texas homeowners policies cover sudden wind and hail damage, though coverage and deductibles vary by carrier. Ask the roofer to walk through your specific policy and any windstorm deductible before filing a claim.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Bellaire or Houston?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set city by city. Confirm with the City of Bellaire or City of Houston building department, or ask the contractor to pull the permit as part of the job.
What roofing material holds up best against Texas hail?
Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles are built to better withstand hail strikes than standard shingles, and some insurers offer a premium discount for installing them. Ask any roofer, including American Storm Roofing, whether Class 4 shingles are available for your project.
What should I ask a roofer before signing a contract?
Ask for current proof of general liability insurance, a written scope of work, the manufacturer and workmanship warranty terms, and whether the company or a subcontractor crew will perform the work.
What is the difference between commercial and residential roofing work?
Commercial roofs are more often low-slope systems like TPO or built-up roofing, while residential roofs are typically steep-slope shingle or tile. American Storm Roofing's BBB profile states it performs both types of work.
How can I verify a roofer's BBB rating myself?
Search the company name directly on bbb.org rather than relying on a search engine summary, since accreditation status and letter grade are sometimes misreported in search snippets.
