About
Carney Roofing Co., Inc. is a commercial roofing contractor at 2305 Center Highway in Nacogdoches, serving East Texas. Both the company's own site and its BBB profile put the start of the business at 1962, which makes it one of the longest running roofing firms in the region. Greg L. Carney is listed on the BBB profile as president.
The company works on commercial and industrial buildings rather than houses. Its published capability list covers single ply systems in EPDM, TPO and PVC, modified bitumen roofs, structural and retrofit metal roofing, asphalt shingle roofs, waterproofing, roof repair, and gutters and downspouts. Typical building types named on the site include storefronts, factories, warehouses and churches. Carney states it is an NCI authorised installer for the Ultra-Dek and Double-Lok, BattenLok and Superlok, and Lokseam and Craftsman metal panel systems.
Carney Roofing Company Inc has been a BBB Accredited Business since February 2020 and holds an A+ BBB rating, with the BBB file open since 1995. The company also states membership in the National Roofing Contractors Association and is listed with the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce. Its RCAT status here is plain Member, which is association membership and not the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential. Texas has no state roofing licence, so buyers should confirm current insurance directly with the insurer.

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
Not checked for NacogdochesTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.

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.

Carney Roofing professional staff did an excellent job for us. Highly skilled and quality work. Great follow-up on small issues after completion of roof. I would definitely hire them again for all our roofing needs

Frequently asked
How long has Carney Roofing been in business?
Since 1962. The company's About page describes more than 60 years of roofing in East Texas, and the BBB profile independently lists the business start date as 1 January 1962 with the BBB file opened in 1995.
Does Carney Roofing do residential roofs?
The site is written almost entirely for commercial and industrial building owners, naming storefronts, factories, warehouses and churches. Asphalt shingle roofs are listed among its capabilities, but a homeowner should ask directly whether the company takes residential work in their area before booking an estimate.
Is Carney Roofing BBB accredited?
Yes. Carney Roofing Company Inc has been a BBB Accredited Business since 27 February 2020 and holds an A+ rating with BBB serving the Brazos Valley and Deep East Texas. Accreditation is a paid BBB programme with conduct standards attached, and the A+ is BBB's own rating, not a customer review score.
Is there a Texas state roofing licence to check?
No. Texas does not licence roofing contractors at state level, so nobody in Nacogdoches or anywhere else in Texas can be state licensed for roofing. What can be checked is current general liability and workers compensation insurance, any city or county registration the job requires, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT membership, NRCA membership and BBB accreditation.
What does the RCAT Member status mean here?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Member means the company belongs to the association and pays dues. It is a separate and lesser thing than RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which is earned through testing and experience requirements. Carney Roofing is listed here as a Member.
What is a metal retrofit roof?
It is a way of putting a new metal roof over a failing existing metal roof without stripping the building down. A sub framing system is set over the old panels and a new standing seam roof is installed on top, often with insulation added in the cavity. It keeps the building operating during the work and avoids most of the tear off and disposal cost.
Which metal panel systems does Carney install?
The company states it is an NCI authorised installer for Ultra-Dek and Double-Lok, BattenLok and Superlok, and Lokseam and Craftsman panel systems. That claim comes from the company's own metal roofing page and was not confirmed on a manufacturer directory, so ask for the current authorisation letter if a manufacturer warranty is part of the deal.
How does hail affect roofs in Nacogdoches and East Texas?
East Texas gets less of the severe hail that hammers the Dallas and Fort Worth corridor, but damaging storms still occur and hail is a common cause of roof claims statewide. On low slope commercial roofs the damage is often bruising or fractured surfacing that will not leak straight away, so a documented inspection after a significant storm is worth having before any claim is filed.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in East Texas?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 impact test for steep slope shingles, and many Texas insurers offer a premium credit for a Class 4 roof. On a house or a small steep slope building it is usually worth pricing. On the single ply, modified bitumen and metal systems Carney mostly installs, the equivalent conversation is membrane thickness, cover board and panel gauge rather than a UL class.
Who handles permits for a commercial reroof in Nacogdoches?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection are set city by city and county by county. In practice the roofing contractor pulls the permit for a commercial reroof, but confirm in the contract who is responsible for the permit, for scheduling inspections, and for any structural or deck repairs the inspector calls out.
