About
Briercroft Roofing is a West Texas company, not a Dallas Fort Worth one. It is the roofing arm of Briercroft Inc. of Abilene, based at 4333 Crawford Drive in Abilene 79602, in Taylor County, and its 325 area code phone, (325) 692-0017, is an Abilene number. BBB names Mr. Michael Dickenson, CFO, as the principal contact, which matches the contact person MICHAEL DICKENSON carried on the City of Arlington registered contractors dataset. The company's own about page adds Tim Dickenson as president and CEO, Marc Goodman as roofing general manager and Robert Hoehn as restoration manager.
BBB records the business as started on 1 July 1981 and incorporated on 1 February 1986, and it has been a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating since December 2011. The same corporate entity trades as Briercroft Fire & Water Restoration for fire, water and mould work and as Briercroft Roofing for roofing, and it is an IICRC Certified Firm on the restoration side. Its Abilene operation serves Abilene and the surrounding Big Country, and it advertises a 24 hour emergency response alongside weekday office hours.
The reason a West Texas firm appears on an Arlington contractor register is a second office on the Dallas Fort Worth side of the state, at 328 West Main Street, Suite 6C in Azle, reachable on (817) 752-2070. That branch has its own website and its own Facebook page, and it publishes Azle, Weatherford, Fort Worth, Springtown, Millsap, Lake Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie and Irving as its service area. Homeowners in Tarrant and Parker counties are dealing with that Azle branch; homeowners in the Big Country are dealing with the Abilene head office.

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.
CompanyBriercroft 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
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.
RegionAbilene
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 Briercroft Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No Texas roofer is. Texas issues no state roofing licence and there is no state board that vets roofers. The checks that mean something here are the certificate of insurance sent to you by the insurer, the BBB file, and any voluntary industry credential the company genuinely holds.
Is Briercroft Roofing an RCAT member or an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
The company's own website states that its roofing division is licensed with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, but no Briercroft record was returned by an RCAT directory search, including a full search of Abilene contractors. Treat the RCAT claim as company stated and ask the company for the credential number and holder's name. RCAT membership and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) are not the same thing.
Is this an Abilene company or a Dallas Fort Worth company?
Abilene. The head office is at 4333 Crawford Drive in Abilene, Taylor County, and the main number is a 325 West Texas number. The company reaches the Metroplex through a branch office in Azle on (817) 752-2070, which is why it appears on a City of Arlington contractor register.
What does IICRC certification actually mean?
The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification sets the industry standards for water, fire and mould restoration and certifies both technicians and firms against them. It is a restoration credential, not a roofing one, so it speaks to the company's water and fire damage work rather than to shingle installation.
Does Abilene get enough hail to worry about?
Yes. The Big Country sits in the broader Texas hail belt, and spring and early summer storms drive a large share of West Texas roof claims. Hail rather than age is the usual reason a roof gets replaced in this part of the state.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in West Texas?
Often. Class 4 shingles pass the UL 2218 steel ball impact test and many Texas carriers give a premium discount for them. The size of the discount varies by insurer, so ask your own carrier what it would credit before paying the upgrade, and get the UL 2218 rating written on the contract.
Does hail damage always mean a full roof replacement?
No. An adjuster normally counts bruises or fractured mat within test squares on each slope. Scattered marks often justify a repair or nothing at all, while widespread bruising, or a discontinued shingle that cannot be matched, pushes toward a full replacement.
Who pulls the roofing permit?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection rules are set city by city, and Abilene, Arlington and Azle each run their own. The contractor normally pulls the permit. Ask who is pulling it and get the permit number so the inspection is recorded against your address.
Can the same firm do my roof and my water damage?
It can, and there is a practical advantage when a storm puts water through the roof, because one company handles the dry out, the interior repair and the roof itself. Ask for the scope split in writing all the same, so you can see what falls under the roofing warranty and what falls under the restoration work.
What should be in writing before I sign?
Shingle or panel brand, line and colour, underlayment, layers removed, decking replacement price per sheet, ventilation changes, flashing and pipe boot replacement, cleanup, total price, payment schedule, and the workmanship warranty stated separately from the manufacturer's material warranty.
