About
Core 4 Contractors, Corp. is a veteran owned roofing and general contracting company serving the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Its BBB and RCAT records both carry a Mansfield address at 7940 Dick Price Rd, Mansfield, TX 76063, in Tarrant County, while the address printed on the company's own website is a shop unit at 12117 E. FM 917, Unit G, Alvarado, TX 76009. The About page says the business was "Established in 2014" and is "owned and operated by Sergeant First Class (SFC) Brandon Hudgins, U.S. Army veteran", with more than 20 years in roofing and construction behind it.
The work is weighted towards storm restoration. The company lists residential and commercial re-roofing, roof repair, storm damage repair and emergency tarping, hail damage claim assistance, roof inspections and seasonal "Roof Tune-Up" packages. Because it operates as a general contractor rather than a roofing only shop, it also handles gutters, siding, fencing, drywall, painting, flooring and other interior and exterior repairs, which matters on an insurance claim where the storm damaged more than the roof.
On materials the company works with Owens Corning and CertainTeed shingle systems and states it is a preferred contractor for both, and it advertises a 10 year workmanship warranty on every full roof replacement. Core 4 Contractors, Corp. holds its own profile in Owens Corning's contractor directory, and the BBB lists it as accredited with an A+ rating since 16 May 2018.

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
No contractor registry in Mansfield Permit office ↗This city does not register roofers, but a roofing permit is still required. Ask who pulls it.
Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #01-0486 or the company name.
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.

This is a very good roofing company. The job manager, Brian, was the first on site and the last to leave. Roofing is a messy job, and they cleaned up after themselves very well. They upgraded my roof covering materials and charged a very fair price. I will be recommending them to everyone.

Brandon is the most knowledgeable roofer I have met. As a Realtor is very important to have good partnerships to educate and benefit our clients. Everybody needs a good roofer in DFW!

Brian took care of our dryer vent, caulked nails, painted chimney, and took care of a big birds nest under the chimney chase. Although it was difficult scheduling a date with the weather and his busy schedule we got it done!! :)

Frequently asked
Does Core 4 Contractors hold a Texas state roofing licence?
Texas does not issue one. There is no state roofing licence in Texas, so no roofer can hold one. What can be checked is current general liability and workers compensation insurance, standing with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, and any registration the specific city requires.
What does the RCAT "Licensed" status mean here?
RCAT membership and the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential are two different things. Membership just means the company pays association dues. The licensed credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned by an individual through RCAT's own testing. This company is carried with the licensed credential. It is an industry credential, not a government one.
Is the company in Mansfield or in Alvarado?
Both addresses are real. The BBB and RCAT records list 7940 Dick Price Rd, Mansfield, TX 76063, in Tarrant County. The company's own website prints 12117 E. FM 917, Unit G, Alvarado, TX 76009, which is in Johnson County. Mansfield is the address of record for this listing.
Is Core 4 Contractors the same company as Core Four Roofing in Tomball?
No. They are two unrelated Texas companies with similar names. Core 4 Contractors, Corp. is a Tarrant County corporation founded in the mid 2010s and owned by Brandon Hudgins, on the domain core4contractors.com. Core Four Roofing, LLC is a separate Harris County limited liability company started in 2020 with different principals, on the domain corefourroofing.com. Different owners, addresses, phone numbers, entity types and RCAT records.
Why does hail matter so much for a roof in Tarrant County?
North Texas sits in the part of the state often called Hail Alley and Tarrant County takes damaging hail in most spring storm seasons. That is why so much local roofing work runs through insurance claims rather than straight cash replacement, and why Class 4 impact resistant shingles are worth pricing.
What is a Class 4 impact resistant shingle and is it worth it?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test. Many Texas insurers give a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Whether the upgrade pays for itself depends on the size of your carrier's discount and how long you plan to keep the house, so get the discount figure from your insurer in writing before you decide.
What warranty does the company offer?
The company advertises a 10 year workmanship warranty with every full roof replacement, described on its site as transferable. That is separate from the shingle manufacturer's own limited warranty, which comes from Owens Corning or CertainTeed and covers the material rather than the installation.
Which manufacturer credentials are confirmed?
Core 4 Contractors, Corp. has its own profile in Owens Corning's contractor directory on owenscorning.com. The specific wording "preferred contractor" for Owens Corning and CertainTeed and the CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator credential are stated by the company on its own site, so ask to see the current certificates.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof around Mansfield?
Texas has no statewide building code covering this, so permitting and inspection rules are set by each city and county. Mansfield, Arlington, Fort Worth and Alvarado each set their own. Have the contractor state in writing whether a permit is required and who is pulling it.
What should I check before signing a storm restoration contract?
Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer directly, not from the salesperson. Make sure the contract names the exact shingle line, underlayment and ventilation. Get the workmanship warranty term in writing. Confirm who pulls the permit. And be clear about what happens to any deposit if your carrier's settlement comes in below the estimate.
