About
Cardinal Roofing, Inc. is a commercial roofing contractor based at 2501 114th Street in Grand Prairie. The company states it has provided roofing services throughout Texas since 1982 and that it has installed more than 110 million square feet of roofing. Its own site describes the business as fully insured and bondable.
The work is almost entirely commercial and industrial rather than residential. Cardinal lists roof system replacement, new construction, annual inspections, preventive maintenance, leak repair, roof penetrations, roof assessments, and sheet metal fabrication and installation among its services, and it works in single ply, modified bitumen, built up, standing seam metal, and fluid applied systems. Its published client roster runs to large property managers, general contractors, retailers, manufacturers, and institutional owners across Texas.
Cardinal appears in the GAF commercial contractor directory and is listed as a Preferred Contractor in Polyglass's own contractor directory. The company is not BBB accredited and BBB shows no rating for it. Its RCAT status here is plain Member, which reflects association membership and dues rather than the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so homeowners and property managers should confirm current general liability and workers compensation coverage directly with the insurer before work starts.

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

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.

Probably some of the most shady business dealings I've ever dealt with. They told me it would cost nothing out of my pocket they would use the homeowners insurance to be able to fix whatever I need in the roof. Which turned out to be a lie. And when it came to me paying the company for the job that they did. USAA paid 70% because they only did 70% of the job they did not replace the roofing on the shed as well as parts of the roof in the main home. Within a month of them finding out they're only getting paid for 70% they sent the bill to collections. After they received 70% of the pay might I add. So now I have to work hard to get a bad business deal off of my credit when it was sold to me that it would be no money out of my pocket. Do not spend your money with these guys

We own 2 old commercial buildings in DFW that have had a history of roof leaks. Then a contractor we employed referred me to Cardinal Roofing. We have now been using them off and on for several years. We thought we would need to put new roofs on several years ago. However, with Cardinal, we have been able to defer that expense. We still do not see a need to replace the roofs soon. It’s Noah’s Ark out there today, and I have not received any phone calls from any of our tenants. Before Cardinal I used to always get tense when we had a lot of rain. Not anymore! 😎

A storm hit Keller TX and these people are shady and put a sign in my yard without my permission and hopped up on my roof without permission. I have been working with my current contractor for 5 years and they pulled his sign off my yard and placed theirs without my knowledge

These guys are crooks they tried to hide a hole they put in my siding on my roof. Then they tried to rip off my insurance company by overbidding and never gave me a contract for the work to be performed. And when my insurance company did not pay they put it on my credit.

Frequently asked
Is Cardinal Roofing a residential or commercial roofer?
Cardinal presents itself as a commercial roofer. Its services page covers roof system replacement, new construction, inspections, preventive maintenance and leak repair, and its published client list is made up of property managers, general contractors, retailers, manufacturers and institutional owners. Homeowners looking for a shingle re-roof should ask whether the company takes that type of work before scheduling.
Does Texas issue a state roofing licence?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence, so no roofer in Grand Prairie or anywhere else in the state can be state licensed for roofing. The practical checks are proof of current general liability and workers compensation insurance, any city or county registration that applies to the job, and voluntary industry credentials such as RCAT membership or the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor designation.
What does the RCAT Member status shown here mean?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Member means the company belongs to the association and pays dues. It is not the same thing as RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. Cardinal Roofing is listed here as a Member.
Is Cardinal Roofing BBB accredited?
No. The BBB profile for Cardinal Roofing in Grand Prairie shows the business is not BBB accredited and that BBB does not have enough information to issue a rating. That is a neutral finding rather than a negative one, and it is common for commercial contractors who do little consumer facing work.
What manufacturer credentials can actually be verified?
Cardinal Roofing, Inc. appears as a Preferred Contractor on Polyglass's own contractor directory and is listed in GAF's commercial roofing contractor directory. The company separately states on its website that it is a certified applicator for Johns Manville, Carlisle, Elevate, Soprema, Loadmaster, FiberTite, Petersen Aluminum, Berridge, Siplast and US Ply. Ask for the current certificate number for whichever manufacturer warranty you are buying.
Why does a manufacturer certification matter on a commercial roof?
Manufacturer no dollar limit and system warranties are usually only available through contractors the manufacturer has approved, and the roof has to be installed to that manufacturer's specification and inspected before the warranty is issued. If a long manufacturer warranty is part of the deal, confirm in writing which manufacturer, which warranty term, and that the contractor is currently in that manufacturer's programme.
How big a problem is hail for buildings in Grand Prairie?
North Texas sits in the part of the state often called Hail Alley, and hail is the single most common cause of roof claims in the Metroplex. On low slope commercial roofs hail can bruise the membrane and crack the surfacing without producing an obvious leak for months, which is why post storm roof assessments and documented inspections matter.
What are Class 4 impact resistant shingles and do they apply here?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steep slope impact test, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. It applies to shingle roofs on homes and small commercial buildings. On the flat and low slope systems Cardinal mostly installs, the equivalent conversation is about membrane thickness, cover board and hail rated assemblies rather than a UL 2218 class.
Who handles the permit and inspection on a roof in Grand Prairie?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection are handled city by city. Roof replacements in Grand Prairie generally require a permit pulled through the city, and the contractor normally pulls it. Confirm in writing who is responsible for the permit and for scheduling the final inspection before the crew mobilises.
What should be nailed down before signing a commercial roofing contract?
Get a certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurance agent showing current general liability and workers compensation. Get the roof assembly written out by manufacturer and product, not just "TPO" or "modified". Separate the workmanship warranty from the manufacturer warranty and get both terms in writing. Agree the tear off and deck repair allowance up front, and confirm the payment schedule is tied to milestones rather than a large deposit.
