About
D7 Roofing & Metal is a Houston roofing contractor operating from 8701 W Hardy Rd in the 77022 area of north Houston. The company presents itself as a commercial, residential and architectural metal specialist, and its public web presence is deliberately minimal: the site at d7roofingtx.com is essentially a single page carrying the address, phone and fax and a short statement that the team is committed to the highest level of customer service and to understanding each customer's requirements.
Because the company's own site is thin, the useful detail comes from credentialing directories. CertainTeed's own contractor profile lists D7 Roofing & Metal LLC at the matching 8701 W Hardy Rd address and phone, carrying the ShingleMaster PRO credential with a member since date of 2008. GAF's own commercial contractor directory also carries a Houston TX listing for D7 Roofing & Metal LLC. RCAT's directory records the company as a member since 2016, with Michael Delgado holding the CRRL Licensed Roofing Contractor credential under Commercial & Residential Roofing License #03-0178.
Houston roofing work is driven less by hail than the North Texas market and more by heat, heavy rainfall and hurricane season wind. Low slope commercial systems, metal and architectural sheet metal are the categories D7 leads with. Note that Harris County is not one of the 14 TWIA first-tier coastal counties, so WPI-8 windstorm certification is not a general requirement for roofing work in the city of Houston.
Highlights
CertainTeed ShingleMaster PRO status is confirmed on CertainTeed's own contractor profile with a matching Houston address, dating to 2008.
Carries both a CertainTeed credential and a listing in GAF's commercial contractor directory, an unusual dual manufacturer footprint.
Michael Delgado holds the RCAT CRRL Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, which is earned separately from plain RCAT membership.
Positioned across commercial, residential and architectural metal rather than shingle replacement alone.
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.

Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0178 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.

Frequently asked
Is D7 Roofing & Metal licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and no Texas roofer is. Texas issues no state roofing licence. The credentials that exist are voluntary and industry issued. RCAT's directory records Michael Delgado as holding the CRRL Licensed Roofing Contractor credential under Commercial & Residential Roofing License #03-0178. Ask for a current certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurer, not a copy forwarded by the contractor.
Is D7 an RCAT member or an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Both, and the two are not the same thing. RCAT membership means the company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately by an individual through testing and continuing education. The RCAT record shows D7 as a member since 2016 and Michael Delgado as a CRRL holder.
How can I verify the CertainTeed credential?
Check CertainTeed's own contractor profile rather than a badge image. CertainTeed lists D7 Roofing & Metal LLC at 8701 W Hardy Rd, Houston, TX 77022 with the phone number 713-325-0700, carrying ShingleMaster PRO status and a member since date of 2008. The credential also governs which extended CertainTeed warranties the contractor is authorised to register.
Do I need a WPI-8 windstorm certificate for a roof in Houston?
Generally no. WPI-8 is a Texas Windstorm Insurance Association requirement tied to the 14 first-tier coastal counties and a narrow strip of Harris County east of Highway 146. The great majority of Harris County, including the 77022 area, sits outside that zone, so a standard TWIA windstorm inspection is not part of a routine Houston reroof. Confirm with your own carrier if your property is near the eastern county line.
Who pulls the roofing permit in Houston?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so this is set locally. In the City of Houston roofing permits are generally handled by the contractor through the Houston Permitting Center, and requirements differ once you cross into Harris County unincorporated areas or into a neighbouring municipality. Get the permitting responsibility written into the contract.
What does 'architectural metal' mean on a roofing quote?
It refers to standing seam panels, custom flashings, copings, gutters, scuppers and other shop-fabricated sheet metal, as opposed to off-the-shelf shingle work. It is priced by fabrication and detail rather than by square. If your building has parapets, complex transitions or exposed metal features, ask specifically what gauge and finish are being quoted and what the finish warranty covers.
Why is there so little information on the company website?
The site at d7roofingtx.com is a single page with the address, phone and fax and a short statement of intent. It carries no service detail, staff biographies, project gallery or hours. That is a presentation choice and not itself a warning sign for a commercial-leaning contractor, but it does mean the manufacturer and RCAT directory records are the more informative sources for verifying this company.
How does a Houston roof differ from a North Texas roof?
North and Central Texas sit in Hail Alley, so the conversation there is dominated by Class 4 impact-rated shingles and hail claims. Houston's dominant stresses are UV and heat load, very heavy rainfall, and hurricane season wind. Drainage detailing, low slope membrane quality and fastening patterns matter more here than impact rating does.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Harris County?
Ask for a certificate of insurance issued directly by the insurer, the specific system and manufacturer being installed, whether the contractor's manufacturer credential lets it register an extended warranty on that system, the separate length of the workmanship warranty, who pulls the permit, how decking or deck replacement is priced, and a firm written total.
Are the phone numbers listed for D7 consistent?
There are two. The company's own website and its CertainTeed profile both give 713-325-0700, and the site adds a fax of 713-234-0043. The RCAT directory record shows 713-213-1101. The website number is the one used here because it is confirmed on two independent sources, but either may reach the company.
