About
DK Kennemur Roofing LLC is a small owner operated roofing contractor at 1109 NW 14th Street in Grand Prairie, in the older street grid north west of the city centre. The DK in the name is Douglas K. Kennemur, who is listed as the company's owner on his own LinkedIn profile and on the Texas corporate records index, which matches the DOUGLAS KENNEMUR recorded as the contact on the City of Arlington contractor register. The company is therefore owner operated rather than registered by a third party filer.
Beyond the corporate record the company keeps almost no web presence. We found no company website, no Google Business Profile, no Better Business Bureau file and no reviews on any platform we checked. Business directories place the start of trading around 2012 or 2013, but none of those is a primary source and no founding year is stated here. Homeowners considering this contractor should expect to verify insurance, scope and warranty directly by phone rather than from published material.
Highlights
Owner operated. Douglas K. Kennemur is the DK in the company name and is listed as the owner on his LinkedIn profile and in Texas corporate records.
Long standing local presence in Grand Prairie, with the same NW 14th Street address appearing consistently across records.
Registered with the City of Arlington as a contractor, so it works across the Arlington and Grand Prairie side of the Metroplex.
Very small footprint. No website, no Google listing and no BBB file were found, so credentials have to be requested directly.

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
Registered — Arlington Check the register ↗Registered contractor, City of Arlington. Arlington registers roofing companies in its general contractor category; its published dataset carries no registration number and no expiry date, and the dataset itself may lag by some months.. This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionGrand Prairie
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.
Douglas K. Kennemur. He is listed as owner on his own LinkedIn profile and in the Texas corporate records index, and he is the contact name on the City of Arlington contractor register. The DK in the company name is his initials.
Where is the company based?
1109 NW 14th Street, Grand Prairie, Texas 75050. Grand Prairie is unusual in stretching across three counties, but this address and the 75050 ZIP fall on the Dallas County side.
Does the company have a website?
We found none. There is no company website, no Google Business Profile and no Better Business Bureau file that we could locate, so the phone number on the Arlington register is the practical way to reach it.
When was the company founded?
We could not establish a founding year from a primary source. Business directories suggest trading began around 2012 or 2013, but directory data is not reliable enough to publish as fact. Ask the company directly.
Is DK Kennemur Roofing RCAT Licensed or an RCAT Member?
Neither could be confirmed. A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory for Kennemur returned no record, so this is reported as not found via RCAT search rather than as unlisted.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. There is no state roofing licence in Texas. Trust rests on verified insurance, RCAT status where a company holds it, and city registration where a city requires one to pull permits.
What does RCAT Licensed actually mean?
RCAT runs a separate Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, shown as CRRL, RRL or CRL. It is earned through the association's own programme and is not the same as simply paying dues as a member.
How should I check insurance on a small owner operated roofer?
Ask for the certificate of insurance to be emailed by the insurance agent directly to you, not forwarded by the contractor, and confirm both general liability and, if crews will be on your roof, workers compensation. Small operations are legitimate, but the paperwork check matters more when there is no public profile to read.
Is hail the main roofing risk in Grand Prairie?
Yes. Grand Prairie sits in the North Texas hail belt, where hail claims drive most roof replacements. Class 4 impact resistant shingles are the usual upgrade discussed, and many insurers offer a premium discount, though the amount varies by carrier.
Who issues the roofing permit for my Grand Prairie home?
Your city does. Texas has no statewide building code, so permit and inspection requirements are set locally. Confirm in writing which party is pulling the permit before work starts.
