About
Berry Good Roofing and Efficiency is a roofing and home efficiency contractor working out of 12605 FM 917 Suite 501 in Alvarado, Johnson County. The company was started on 19 July 2023 by Joshua Garvin, who is listed with Brian Ethington as a managing member on the BBB file, and it began in Midlothian before the Alvarado address became its published base. Its own site says the team's roofing and construction experience runs more than a decade even though the company itself is young, and it makes a point of positioning itself against storm chasing crews that leave after a hail event.
On the roofing side it handles storm restoration including emergency tarping and insurance coordination, full and partial shingle replacement on both steep and low slope, R panel and standing seam metal roofing, leak repairs, and 5 inch or 6 inch seamless gutters. It installs Malarkey shingles and describes itself as a Malarkey certified residential contractor, including the Malarkey Vista Class 4 impact rated shingle, which matters in the hail belt because many Texas insurers discount premiums for a Class 4 roof.
The Efficiency half of the name is a real second line of work rather than a slogan. In practice it means two things the company sells alongside roofing: Suntex solar window screens, offered at 80 to 90 percent shade coverage in a range of colours, and attic insulation, where the company removes existing insulation and installs to a chosen R value. The BBB file backs this up by categorising the business under insulation contractors and window screens as well as roofing and gutters.

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.

City/county registration
Registered — Arlington Check the register ↗Registered contractor, City of Arlington. Arlington registers roofing companies in its general contractor category; its published dataset carries no registration number and no expiry date, and the dataset itself may lag by some months.. 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.

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
What does the Efficiency in the company name actually mean?
Two concrete product lines sold alongside roofing. Suntex solar window screens, quoted at 80 to 90 percent shade coverage in a range of colours, and attic insulation, where existing insulation is removed and new insulation installed to a chosen R value. The BBB file lists the business under insulation contractors and window screens as well as roofing.
Who owns and runs the company?
The BBB profile names Joshua A. Garvin and Brian L. Ethington as managing members. The company's own About page introduces Josh Garvin as owner and Josue Carrasco as team lead. The contact name on the Arlington register, Gustavo Nava, does not appear on the company website, the BBB file or any other source we read.
How long has the company been trading?
The BBB file gives a start and incorporation date of 19 July 2023, and the company's own site says it sprouted in the autumn of 2023 in Midlothian. It also says the team's roofing and construction experience goes back more than a decade, which is about the people rather than the company.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence and no state board. Verification comes from current liability and workers compensation insurance, city registration where required, manufacturer and trade credentials, and references you actually call.
Is the company an RCAT member?
We did not find a record for it via the RCAT directory search. RCAT membership is voluntary and many good Texas roofers never join, so this is not a mark against the company. Note also that plain RCAT Membership and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential are two different things.
What is a Class 4 impact resistant shingle and is it worth it in Johnson County?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 impact test. Johnson County sits in the North and Central Texas hail belt where hail, not age, ends most roofs, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Ask your own carrier what discount it gives before choosing, because it varies.
What is the difference between R panel and standing seam metal?
R panel is an exposed fastener panel, cheaper and quicker, common on outbuildings and low budget residential. Standing seam hides the fasteners inside a raised seam, costs more, and generally lasts longer with fewer leak points. The company offers both, so ask which suits your slope and budget.
Will the company handle my hail insurance claim?
Its storm restoration service includes tarping, repairs and insurance coordination. Understand the boundary: a roofer can document damage and meet your adjuster, but under Texas law a contractor must not act as your public adjuster on a job it is also contracted to repair. Keep the two roles separate.
Can a contractor cover my deductible?
No. Texas law prohibits a contractor from paying, rebating, waiving or absorbing an insurance deductible. Any company offering to is telling you something about how it operates. You must pay your deductible.
What should I ask before signing?
Get the shingle line and colour named in writing, not just the brand. Ask what happens and what it costs if rotten decking is found. Confirm who supervises the crew on site. Ask for the certificate of insurance direct from the agent. And ask which warranty is the manufacturer's and which is the company's own workmanship warranty.
