About
EPIK Construction Services is a family-owned DFW roofing and restoration contractor that has been in business since 2013 (BBB records show the business started in April 2013). Company materials describe it as founded by a certified firefighter and state it has replaced more than 4,000 roofs across Collin, Denton, and Dallas counties. The directory record places it in Lakewood Village in Denton County; its current website describes a Wylie headquarters and its BBB profile lists a McKinney address, a spread that fits a contractor working the whole northern DFW arc.
Roofing is the core of the business, in asphalt and metal, covering repairs, replacements, and storm restoration, and the company pairs it with a full-service insurance restoration model: water and fire damage restoration, gutters, insulation and weatherproofing, painting, kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole home remodels, and handyman services, so storm repairs beyond the roof can run through one contractor.
EPIK is listed as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor in Owens Corning's own directory. It holds an A+ BBB rating, though it is not BBB accredited. It also states Malarkey Preferred Contractor status and NRCA membership, and advertises military, firefighter, and first responder discounts.

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 Lakewood VillageTexas 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.
Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #01-0417 or the company name.
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 issue roofing licenses?
No, there is no Texas state roofing license. The credentials that can be checked instead are verifiable liability insurance, the voluntary RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, manufacturer contractor programs, and registration in cities that require contractor registration.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed status?
Membership means belonging to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas trade group. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is earned separately through testing. They are different things, and it is fair to ask a contractor which applies.
How often does hail hit the northern DFW suburbs?
Collin and Denton counties are among the most hail-struck in the country, with damaging storms most springs. Hail drives the large majority of roof replacements in towns like McKinney, Frisco, and Little Elm, so most local roofs are replaced on an insurance cycle rather than old age.
Are impact-resistant shingles a good idea here?
Often yes. Class 4 impact-rated shingles withstand hail better and many Texas insurers discount premiums for them. Confirm how your policy treats cosmetic damage on impact-rated roofs before deciding, since some insurers add exclusions along with the discount.
Can my roofer eat the insurance deductible?
No. Texas outlawed deductible waiving and absorbing by contractors in 2019, and insurers can demand proof of payment before releasing recoverable depreciation. Decline any offer to make your deductible disappear.
What does Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status mean?
It is a manufacturer credential requiring the contractor to meet Owens Corning's insurance and professional standards, and it allows access to enhanced warranty options on qualifying systems. EPIK's listing appears in Owens Corning's own contractor directory, which is the right place to verify it.
Is EPIK BBB accredited?
No. The company holds an A+ BBB rating, but its BBB profile shows it is not a BBB Accredited Business. Rating and accreditation are separate: the rating reflects BBB's assessment of the file, while accreditation is a paid commitment to BBB standards.
Do I need a roof permit in the northern DFW suburbs?
Permitting is city by city in Texas. McKinney, Wylie, Frisco, and the surrounding cities each set their own rules for reroof permits and inspections. A contractor working across these cities should manage the paperwork; you can confirm requirements with your city's building department.
Can EPIK handle storm damage beyond the roof?
Yes. The company runs a full-service restoration model that includes water and fire damage restoration, gutters, insulation, painting, and interior remodeling, so hail or storm claims involving more than shingles can be handled by one contractor.
How should I vet any roofer after a DFW hailstorm?
Get the insurance certificate from the insurer directly, insist on a written scope with named products and warranty terms, check an established local address and history, and never pay in full upfront. Verify manufacturer credentials in the manufacturer's own directory rather than trusting badges.
