About
Dorsey's Unlimited Construction is a family owned roofing and exterior contractor serving the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. Its RCAT record and BBB file are both registered to a Kennedale mailing address (PO Box 1413, Kennedale, TX 76060) in Tarrant County, while its working office and shop address on the company's own contact page is 5101 Saunders Rd Ste. A, Fort Worth, TX 76119, also Tarrant County. Brian Dorsey is named as owner and president on the company site, the RCAT record and the BBB file. The company's site states it has served the Metroplex since 1990; the BBB record shows a business start date of 8 June 1995 and Texas incorporation on 28 February 1996 under the alternate corporate name T R C & Associates, Inc.
The company works across residential, commercial and multi-family roofing. Listed work includes roof installation and replacement, roof repair, leak repair, emergency roof repair, shingle roof repair, restoration and storm damage work, complimentary roof and home exterior inspections, plus siding, gutters, windows and remodelling.

On credentials, the company is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, accredited since 10 October 2002, and it displays a Good Contractors List badge.

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
Not checked for KennedaleTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.

Licence boardRCAT, Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (Texas issues no state roofing licence; RCAT runs the licensing programme)
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.

Dorsey's Unlimited Construction is the BEST!!! Brian kept us informed and up to date with our recent roof replacement, gutters and windows repair. His crew was respectful of our property and cleaned up after the job. Brian Dorsey gave us many roof options and colors to choose from and let us take our time to decide. We were never pressured or rushed to make a decision. Our roof is just stunning!!! We, the Garner's, highly recommend Brian and his team of professionals.

Dorsey's Unlimited Construction has been our roofing company for over 30 years. They recently replaced my roof from a recent hail storm and couldn't be happier with the experience. Brian Dorsey and his team were professional, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. They completed the work on schedule, and left the property clean when the job was finished.
The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and it's clear they take pride in their work. They answered all of my questions and made the process stress-free from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy roofing contractor. Thank you Mr. Dorsey! The Reed Family

Frequently asked
Is Dorsey's Unlimited Construction licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so no Tarrant County roofer holds one. What you can verify is insurance, association standing and city registration. This company is listed in the RCAT directory and has been a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating since 2002. Ask for a current certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance sent to you directly by the insurance agency.
What does RCAT membership mean on this listing?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, and it runs two separate things that are often confused. Plain membership means the company belongs to the association and pays dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's own qualification process. This listing records the company as a Member. Membership shows engagement with the trade but is not a government licence.
Does Fort Worth or Kennedale need WPI-8 windstorm certification?
No. WPI-8 certificates and TWIA windstorm insurance apply only to the 14 first tier Gulf Coast counties in Texas. Tarrant County is inland. The risks that drive roofing decisions in the Metroplex are hail, severe spring storms and wind.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in Tarrant County?
The Dallas / Fort Worth area is one of the most hail exposed metro areas in the United States. Class 4 impact resistant shingles are tested to withstand a steel ball impact without fracturing the mat, and most Texas carriers offer a premium discount for them. Get the exact discount from your insurer in writing, then compare it against the upgrade cost over the life of the roof.
Do I need a permit to reroof in Kennedale, Fort Worth or Mansfield?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so reroof permitting is set locally. Fort Worth, Kennedale, Mansfield, Arlington and Granbury each run their own permitting and inspection process with their own fees and requirements. Have your contractor state in writing who pulls the permit and confirm the final inspection is passed before you release the last payment.
Does the company do commercial and apartment roofing as well as houses?
Yes. Its own site lists separate residential, commercial and multi-family roofing sections, and names white TPO flat roofing and coated metal systems, which are typical commercial and apartment building assemblies. It also states GAF Gold Elite Commercial Contractor status, which is a commercial rather than residential credential.
How is this company different from Dorsey Construction Company in Dallas?
They are separate businesses that happen to share a surname. Dorsey's Unlimited Construction is a Tarrant County company registered in Kennedale with an office in Fort Worth, run by Brian Dorsey, reachable on (817) 516-0669. Dorsey Construction Company, Inc. is a different corporation in Dallas County run by William D. Dorsey. Different owners, different counties, different phone numbers, different websites and separate BBB and RCAT records. Check the phone number and the address on your paperwork.
What is DECRA stone coated steel and why would I choose it?
Stone coated steel is a metal roofing panel finished with a bonded stone granule surface, so it gives the look of shingle or tile with the strength and lifespan of steel. It performs well against hail and wind and is very light compared with concrete tile, which matters on older framing. It costs more up front than asphalt, so it usually suits owners planning to stay in the home long term.
What should I ask before signing a DFW roofing contract?
Ask for insurance certificates sent by the insurer, a written scope naming the exact product line, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and drip edge, a stated per sheet price for replacing damaged decking, the workmanship warranty length, the manufacturer warranty, who pulls the permit, the payment schedule and the nail sweep and clean up commitment. Get at least two written proposals and never pay in full before work starts.
Can a roofer negotiate my hail claim with my insurer?
No. A Texas roofing contractor may inspect the roof, document damage and be present when your adjuster inspects, but under Texas law they cannot act as your public adjuster or negotiate the claim on your behalf unless separately licensed for that. They also cannot lawfully waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible. Treat any offer to do so as a serious warning sign.
