Darden's Construction
About
Darden's Construction LLC is a family run general contractor on the Galveston County coast. BBB and its GuildQuality profile list it at 14103 Cimarron Road, Santa Fe, TX 77517 with the number (409) 256-1680, while the company's own website gives an office at 951 FM 646 Suite A27, League City, TX 77573 with the number (832) 415-6569. Both addresses are in Galveston County. BBB records show the business started on 23 February 2023 and name Raymond Darden as owner. RCAT lists the firm as a residential and commercial contractor. Roofing sits inside a wide construction offering. The site covers roofing, seamless gutters, siding, remodeling and renovations, flooring, fencing and framing, masonry, concrete, painting, and pre-engineered metal and post-frame buildings. The roofing page describes leak repair, replacement and new installation, but it does not name shingle lines, metal profiles, underlayments or manufacturers, and no GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed certification appears anywhere on the site. The company states more than 600 completed projects and an 82 percent insurance claim approval rate, and lists 18 Texas counties served, from the Houston and Galveston coast north to Dallas and Tarrant and west to Bexar and Travis. Those figures and that coverage are stated by the company. Santa Fe is in Galveston County, one of the 14 TWIA first tier coastal counties, so windstorm construction standards genuinely govern roofing work there. We could not find any WPI-8, windstorm certification or TWIA reference on the company's website, its BBB profile, its GuildQuality profile or its social pages, so we cannot confirm a windstorm certified capability either way. On third party standing, Darden's is not a BBB Accredited Business and BBB states it does not have enough information to issue a rating. It does maintain a GuildQuality verified customer feedback profile, and the site displays two local 2025 reader's choice placings.

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.
Confirm this listing yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search.
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.

Ray and his crew are amazing and I would highly recommend for any construction related job including HVAC and plumbing. He is thorough, responsive and will work hard to get it done and get it done RIGHT! (Which I feel is hard to find). Everyone on his crew is professional and very respectful, extremely knowledgeable in what they do and are down to earth and friendly. They recently took care of part of the build out for our new dance studio location. We are in an industrial warehouse that needed an abundance of work. He constructed and painted a demising wall, surrounding walls and additional rooms, completely reconfigured, repaired and moved 3 commercial HVAC units and repaired several plumbing issues. Additionally, when my teams DIY wall demo ran into issues with the ceiling, he quickly brought in his crew to correct and restructure the room and it saved that area for us. Anytime I had a question, it was answered quickly and he had no problem coming out to the site to personally ensure throughout the process the job was running smoothly and was completed in a timely manner. I will continue to use Darden Construction for all of our jobs, as it seems there's nothing Ray and his crew can't handle.
We had a great experience with Dardens Construction. They came out quickly, got the project started right away, and completed everything efficiently. We had our roof replaced and sheetrock repaired in a bathroom, and both projects turned out excellent. Raymond is extremely knowledgeable — he explained the entire process clearly and took the time to answer all of our questions. The crew was professional, efficient, and did a thorough job cleaning up afterward. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them.
I highly recommend this company! Every single worker was a hard worker and friendly. They were very good and kept the area clean during the entire job. Ray and his team are awesome! Call them for your next job! 🫶🏻
Darden's Construction did a fantastic job building my outdoor kitchen. The crew is courteous, friendly and respectful of my property and time. Ray is honest and upfront about job expectations and very fair priced. I'm already thinking of other projects for them to do for me.
I had these guys build a patio cover in my backyard and the killed it. Built a beautiful cover and did it quick. The back their work up 100% and we couldn’t be happier. Just in time for the Super Bowl!
