About
Desert Roofing Co. is a Pasadena, Texas roofing contractor at 1109 Spooner St, operated by owner Jose Vasquez as a sole proprietorship. The Better Business Bureau file traces the business back to December 28, 2005, and the company is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.
The BBB profile describes the company's work as new construction and re-roofing of composition roofs, along with wood replacement, flat roofing, and slate roofing. No independently reachable company website was found; a domain referenced on directory listings could not be confirmed as functioning.
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 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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Does Texas require a state roofing license?
No, Texas has no statewide roofing license. Trust is instead based on insurance, local registration where required, and industry credentials, so ask to see current proof of each.
What is WPI-8 and does it apply here?
WPI-8 is the Windstorm Insurance Program that covers 14 first tier Gulf Coast counties including Harris and Chambers, administered through the Texas Department of Insurance and the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). If a property is in the WPI-8 zone, roofing work often needs a WPI-8 inspection and certificate to qualify for windstorm coverage, so ask the contractor whether they handle that inspection.
Should I confirm the roofer is insured before signing anything?
Yes. Ask for a certificate of general liability insurance directly from the insurance carrier, not just a verbal assurance, and confirm the policy is active.
What permits are needed for a roof replacement near Houston?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and inspection requirements are set city by city and county by county. Confirm directly with the local building department before work begins.
How does a hurricane or tropical storm claim typically work with a roofer?
A reputable contractor can document storm damage and meet an adjuster on site, but homeowners should still get an independent estimate and read any assignment of benefits paperwork carefully before signing.
What roofing materials hold up best in the Gulf Coast climate?
Materials rated for wind uplift and moisture resistance, such as properly fastened architectural shingles, metal panel systems, or membrane roofing on flat sections, tend to perform best in this humid, storm exposed region. Ask what wind rating a proposed material carries.
How can I check a roofer's complaint history?
The Better Business Bureau publishes a company's accreditation status, complaint history, and rating, and it is worth reading the profile directly rather than trusting a search summary of it.
What should a roofing estimate include?
A clear scope of work, materials and brand named, total price, payment schedule, and warranty terms should all be in writing before any deposit changes hands.
How long should a typical roof replacement take once work starts?
Most single family roof replacements finish in one to a few days depending on size and material, though hurricane season demand can extend scheduling further out.
What is the best way to avoid a storm chasing scam after a hurricane?
Be cautious of unsolicited door knockers offering immediate deals right after a storm. Verify a local business address and phone number, check how long the company has operated in the area, and get more than one estimate before signing anything.
