About
The City of Dallas registration is held in an individual's name, Don Kuykendall, but he does trade under a company name. The Better Business Bureau lists Don Kuykendall Roofing as a sole proprietorship at 131 Cottonwood Trail, Gun Barrel City, Texas 75156, with Mr. Don Kuykendall as owner and the same telephone number carried on the Dallas registration, (214) 398-2647. That address is in Henderson County on Cedar Creek Lake, roughly an hour southeast of Dallas, so this is a lake-country roofer who also carries a registration for work inside the Dallas city limits rather than a Dallas-based firm.
The BBB file was opened on 20 September 1990 and the profile shows an A+ rating, although the business is not a BBB Accredited Business. The categories BBB lists for it are roofing contractors, metal roofing contractors, commercial roofing, tile roofing contractors and roof deck work. An older self-submitted City-Data business profile, last updated in 2010, describes tear-offs, roof-overs, deck work, repairs, roll roofing, modified torch-down, composition, metal and tile roofs across a service range it gives as Weatherford to Athens.
No company website, Google Business Profile, Facebook business page or Yelp listing was found for this contractor, and no email address is published anywhere we could read. Contact appears to be by telephone only. Homeowners should treat this as a small owner-operated business and verify current insurance directly rather than relying on the directory listings, which are the only public record of the company.

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.

InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). 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.
RegionGun Barrell City
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 Don Kuykendall Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and no roofer in Texas is. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so there is no state licence number to ask for. What you can check is insurance, city or county registration where the work is being done, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT status.
Does this contractor appear in the RCAT directory?
It was not found via an RCAT directory search on web.rcat.net in July 2026. That is not a mark against the business. RCAT membership is voluntary and many long-established Texas roofers never join.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
A Member simply pays annual dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRL or CRRL) is earned separately through examination and continuing education. They are not the same thing and should never be treated as equivalent.
Why is a Gun Barrel City roofer on the City of Dallas contractor list?
Dallas requires roofing contractors to register with the city under Chapter 52 of the city code before pulling permits, regardless of where the business is based. Plenty of registrants operate from surrounding counties and drive in for work.
Where is Gun Barrel City and what does that mean for scheduling?
Gun Barrel City sits on Cedar Creek Lake in Henderson County, about an hour southeast of downtown Dallas. Expect a contractor based there to serve the lake communities most readily, with Dallas-area work involving a longer drive.
How should I verify insurance before signing anything?
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability and, if the crew is employed rather than subcontracted, workers compensation. Have the certificate sent to you directly by the insurance agent or carrier, not forwarded as a PDF by the contractor.
Is hail really the main roofing risk in this part of Texas?
Yes. North and Central Texas sit in the corridor often called Hail Alley, and hail is the single biggest driver of roof replacement here. Wind and hail claims, not age, end most roofs in the region.
What are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and are they worth it?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steel-ball impact test. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, so ask your carrier what the discount is before you decide, since it can offset a good part of the upgrade cost over time.
Can a roofer handle my hail insurance claim for me?
Not as your adjuster. Texas law bars a roofing contractor from acting as a public insurance adjuster on a job it is also contracted to perform. A roofer can document damage and meet the adjuster on site, but negotiating the claim on your behalf is a separate licensed role.
What should I ask a small owner-operated roofer before signing?
Ask who will actually be on the roof and whether they are employees or subcontractors, get the workmanship warranty in writing with its length, confirm who pulls the permit, and ask for two or three recent local addresses you can drive past.
