About
Blue Ribbon Roofing is a McKinney based roofing and exterior contractor that registers with the City of Plano as a general contractor. The "(GC)" on the Plano register is the city's own annotation for that category, not part of the company name. Its base is 6401 Eldorado Parkway Suite D in McKinney, Collin County, and it trades online as Blue Ribbon Roofing & Remodel at blueribbondfw.com. The BBB records the legal entity as BRR Blue Ribbon Roofing, LLC with John W. Hopkins as owner.
The company describes itself as family owned and operated since 1993 and says it has installed more than 25,000 roofs in the metroplex. It runs four regional offices, each with its own published local number: McKinney and Collin County, Dallas Fort Worth, the Austin area, and Bryan College Station. Work covers residential inspections, repair and replacement, commercial roofing, storm and hail damage assessment, insurance claim documentation, patios and decks, and maintenance plans. Materials span asphalt shingles, metal, tile, TPO and modified bitumen.
Blue Ribbon Roofing is BBB accredited with an A plus rating, accredited since March 2022. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so that accreditation plus a current certificate of insurance is the practical trust check. Note that a second, unrelated roofing registrant also lists 6401 Eldorado Parkway in a different suite. They are separate tenants at the same office address and should not be treated as the same business.

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.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Plano Check the register ↗Registered general contractor, City of Plano. Roofing companies register in Plano's general contractor category, which also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign work; it is a $100 annual registration renewed yearly, and the city's published requirements do not list proof of insurance or a bond. 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 Blue Ribbon Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence, so no roofer in Texas can be state licensed for roofing. What is checkable here is BBB accreditation with an A plus rating since March 2022, registration as a general contractor with the City of Plano, and a current certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance.
Why is a McKinney company on the City of Plano contractor register?
Plano requires any contractor pulling permits inside the city to register with its Building Inspections Department, regardless of where the company is based. Many registrants are DFW wide firms. Blue Ribbon Roofing operates from 6401 Eldorado Parkway Suite D in McKinney and registers in Plano so it can permit work there.
Is Blue Ribbon Roofing an RCAT member or an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Neither could be confirmed. A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory returned no record for this company, so the honest answer is not found via RCAT search. That is different from not listed. RCAT membership and the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential are distinct and neither should be inferred.
How old is the company?
The company's own site says family owned and operated since 1993. The BBB profile records a date of incorporation of 16 April 2014 for the entity BRR Blue Ribbon Roofing, LLC. Both can be true if the business predates the current LLC. Ask the company directly if the exact start date matters to you.
Another roofer lists the same Eldorado Parkway address. Are they related?
No. 6401 Eldorado Parkway is a multi tenant office address in McKinney and at least one other roofing registrant sits in a different suite there. Blue Ribbon Roofing is in Suite D. Different suites at a shared office address are separate businesses and reviews or credentials should never be carried across between them.
What should a Collin County homeowner ask about hail damage?
Collin County sits in the North Texas hail belt. Ask the contractor to photograph and document hail bruising per slope, to quote an impact resistant Class 4 shingle option alongside the standard product, and to confirm in writing that it will not offer to cover or waive your deductible, which is not permitted in Texas.
Does Blue Ribbon Roofing do commercial work?
Yes. Its services page covers commercial roofing, and its material list includes TPO and modified bitumen, both flat and low slope commercial systems, in addition to residential asphalt shingle, metal and tile.
Which office should I call?
The company publishes a separate number for each region: McKinney and Collin County on (972) 464-1858, Dallas Fort Worth on (817) 710-8650, the Austin area on (512) 354-4555, and Bryan College Station on (979) 314-9943. The number on the City of Plano register for this registration is (214) 799-7887.
Who pulls the permit for roofing work in Plano or McKinney?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting is set city by city. The registered contractor should pull the permit in its own name in whichever city the property sits. Ask for the permit number once it is issued and confirm the final inspection is scheduled before you release the last payment.
What paperwork should I get before signing?
A certificate of insurance emailed to you by the insurer rather than the contractor, the exact manufacturer and shingle line, the workmanship warranty term in writing and separate from the manufacturer warranty, the price treatment for replacing rotten decking, and a clear scope covering flashing, vents, ridge and underlayment.
