About

Fat Matt Roofing is a West Texas roofing company headquartered in Abilene and in business since 2014. Its Brownwood office at 311 N. Center Ave., Ste. 105 has served Brownwood since 2016 and is a real branch with its own local phone line, its own Google Business Profile, a dedicated Brownwood Facebook page, and a BBB listing under the company's A+ accredited profile. The office handles residential roof repair and replacement, standard and designer shingles, metal roofing, and hail damage repair, with free roof inspections and emergency service available through the brand. Brownwood sits in Texas hail country, and hail damage work is a core service. The company positions itself against storm chasers, saying it is from West Texas and stands behind its work.

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.

Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0355 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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.

I asked for a price to repair a portion of my roof and also a price to re-roof the damaged side. I got the cost estimate but it was for the whole roof. The estimate said they would not be able to patch or partially replace the roof. They would have to replace the whole roof. I knew ahead of time they would not be able to match the shingles currently on the roof but i didn't care. No one would see it but me. And, the other shingles were still in decent shape and did not need replacing. I don't know what their problem is. Too much work I guess.

Is Fat Matt Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No roofer is. Texas has no state roofing license. This Brownwood registration holds the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, and homeowners should also verify current insurance.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?

Does Fat Matt Roofing handle hail damage claims in Brownwood?
Yes. Hail damage repair is a core advertised service, and the office works storm damage in Brownwood and the surrounding Brown County area.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in Brownwood?
Often yes. Class 4 shingles resist Central West Texas hail better, and many Texas insurers discount premiums for them. Ask for pricing both ways.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Brownwood?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is city by city. Check current requirements with the City of Brownwood before work begins.
