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.

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
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionMckinney
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 AmeriTex Roofing state licensed?
Texas does not license roofing contractors at state level, so no roofer in Texas holds a state roofing licence. What can be checked is city registration, current general liability and workers compensation certificates, and voluntary credentials such as BBB accreditation or association membership. Ask for the insurance certificates before work starts.
How long has AmeriTex Roofing been in business?
The company states it has served the DFW metroplex since 1986, and the Better Business Bureau records it as accredited since February 1992 with roughly forty years of trading history. It has operated from 517 N Tennessee St in McKinney throughout.
Is AmeriTex an RCAT member?
No record was returned when the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory was searched, so it is not found via RCAT search. The company does state membership of the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association, which is a separate regional association, along with NARI, NAHB and the Greater Dallas Apartment Association.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Membership means the company pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL) is earned separately through RCAT's own examination and experience requirements and is held by a named individual. The two are not equivalent and should never be described interchangeably.
Is AmeriTex GAF certified?
AmeriTex has its own profile in the GAF residential contractor locator, which shows a 4.6 rating from 60 reviews. The specific GAF tier could not be read directly because the GAF page blocks automated access, so treat the GAF listing as confirmed and the tier as unconfirmed. Ask the company which manufacturer programme it belongs to and what warranty that unlocks.
Why is hail such a big deal in McKinney and Collin County?
Collin County sits in the heart of North Texas Hail Alley and takes damaging hail most springs. Hail bruises asphalt shingles in a way that is usually invisible from the ground but shortens roof life and eventually leaks. After any significant storm it is worth having the roof inspected even if nothing looks wrong from the kerb.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in Collin County?
Often yes. Class 4 products pass the UL 2218 impact test and several Texas insurers discount premiums for them. The upgrade adds to the job cost, so confirm the discount with your own carrier first and have the exact product line written into the contract rather than a generic reference to impact resistant shingles.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in McKinney?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is decided locally. McKinney requires a permit for reroofing and the contractor normally pulls it and arranges the inspection. Confirm the permit is in the contractor's name and ask for the final inspection result once the job is finished.
What warranty does AmeriTex offer?
The company publishes workmanship warranties of five, seven or ten years depending on the roofing system installed. That is separate from the manufacturer's material warranty. Ask which of the three applies to your quote and get the warranty terms in writing with the contract.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for current general liability and workers compensation certificates, a scope that names the shingle brand, line and colour, the underlayment and any flashing being replaced, the workmanship warranty length and who backs it, the payment schedule, and who pulls the permit. Avoid contracts that only bind once insurance approves, and do not pay in full before the work is complete and inspected.
