About
Farmer Roofing & Restoration is the storm restoration side of Farmer Roofing Systems, Inc., a family run Texas roofing company owned by Hal D. Farmer. The company's own site says it has been a trusted local roofer in Texas since 1980, and the BBB file records the business as starting on 1 January 1980 with incorporation on 15 October 1993. It has been a BBB Accredited Business since 27 December 2002 and holds an A+ rating.
The Addison presence sits at 15039 Beltway Dr, Addison, TX 75001. Addison is a small town entirely inside Dallas County, just north of the city of Dallas, so the Dallas County designation on this record is correct. Addison is one of several Farmer offices rather than the head office: the BBB file lists the primary address as 43 Wellington Oaks Cir, Corinth, TX 76210, with further locations in Hideaway and Austin in Texas and Mustang in Oklahoma, and the company publishes service areas covering Dallas and Fort Worth, Denton, Austin, Gainesville, and Hillsboro and Waco.
The work spans residential roofing, commercial and industrial roofing, and apartment and multi family roofing, with storm damage restoration as a named service line. The company states that it is licensed, bonded and insured, that it is certified by GAF and CertainTeed, and that it has been a Premier Service Provider for State Farm since 2007. Given a North Texas base, the practical story here is hail: the company describes assessing damage from hailstorms, high winds and other severe weather, and says it has helped thousands of Texans recover from storms over four decades of trading.

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.

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.
RegionAddison
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 Farmer Roofing & Restoration licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so no Texas roofer holds one. The company describes itself as licensed, bonded and insured, which in practice means local registration plus insurance. Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly by the insurer and confirm City of Dallas contractor registration if the job is inside Dallas.
Is the company an RCAT member?
We did not find a record for it via the RCAT member search at web.rcat.net. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence says nothing about competence. The company's verifiable third party credentials here are its BBB accreditation and its GAF and CertainTeed manufacturer certifications.
Is the Addison office a real office?
The Addison address, 15039 Beltway Dr, Addison, TX 75001, is a commercial address in Dallas County and is one of several Farmer locations recorded alongside the Corinth head office and further offices in Hideaway, Austin and Mustang, Oklahoma. Verify staffing at the Addison address by phone before assuming a crew is dispatched from it.
Which county is Addison in?
Dallas County. Addison is a small town of about four and a half square miles sitting entirely within Dallas County, immediately north of the city of Dallas and bordering Farmers Branch and Carrollton. Work there falls under the Town of Addison's own permitting, not the City of Dallas.
What are Class 4 impact resistant shingles and should I fit them?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 impact test, awarded to a shingle that takes repeated two inch steel ball strikes without the mat cracking. In the North Texas hail belt many insurers give a premium discount for a full Class 4 roof. Both GAF and CertainTeed, the two brands this company installs, produce Class 4 rated lines, so ask for the discount quote from your carrier and compare it against the upgrade cost.
Does the company help with hail insurance claims?
Yes. Storm damage restoration and insurance claim work are a stated part of the business, and it has been a State Farm Premier Service Provider since 2007. Note that under Texas law a contractor cannot pay, waive, absorb or rebate your insurance deductible, so treat any such offer as a red flag no matter who makes it.
Do I need WPI-8 windstorm certification for a roof in Addison?
No. WPI-8 certificates are a Texas Windstorm Insurance Association requirement for the fourteen first tier Gulf Coast counties. Addison, Dallas and Denton are all inland, so WPI-8 does not apply. Hail resistance and proper decking and flashing detail are the relevant concerns.
What does GAF or CertainTeed certification actually get me?
Manufacturer certification means the contractor has been vetted and trained by that manufacturer and can register enhanced system warranties covering workmanship as well as material. A plain material warranty from the shingle maker covers only the product. Ask explicitly which warranty is being registered on your job and get the registration number afterwards.
Who pulls the permit?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so it depends on the jurisdiction. In Addison the Town of Addison handles permitting, and in Dallas the city does. The roofing contractor normally pulls the permit for a full replacement. If you are asked to pull it as the homeowner, that shifts liability to you and is worth questioning.
What should I ask before signing?
Ask for insurer issued proof of general liability and workers compensation, the exact shingle line and its UL 2218 class, whether the price includes decking replacement and new flashing or treats them as extras, who the on site supervisor will be, which of the company's offices the crew is dispatched from, and what the written workmanship warranty covers and for how long.
