About

Frontline Roofing (legal name Frontline RFG LLC) is a small firefighter-owned roofing company in Collin County, founded in January 2021 and run by owner Tim Barker, a firefighter and paramedic with more than fifteen years of hands-on construction experience. Its published address is a PO Box in Melissa, just north of McKinney, and its stated mission is to remove the fear of the unknown for homeowners by explaining contracts, insurance claims, and construction timelines in plain terms before work begins. The company focuses on roof replacement, new roof construction, and roof repairs, with free inspections and estimates, and also offers gutters, fence staining, window reglazing and screens, and painting. Its site references CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning product lines and SRS Distribution as a supplier, and lists membership in the Melissa Chamber of Commerce. Frontline RFG LLC has been BBB accredited since January 2023 and holds an A+ BBB rating. As a newer, deliberately small operation its web presence is modest, which is consistent with a company that trades on referrals in its immediate area.

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)

City/county registration Required in McKinney Permit office ↗Contractor Registration / CSS account (Building Inspections Department). Registration is required here to pull a roofing permit; we have not confirmed this company's own status, so check it before you sign.

RegionMcKinney

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.

Tim At Frontline was honest, timely, and professional. He helped us through the chaos of the process of a homeowners claim, guiding us through what to expect and keeping us informed - even when our insurer didn't. We are incredibly pleased with the work completed by his team. Thank you, Tim!

We had significant hail damage to our home, and Tim and his team exceeded our expectations throughout the entire repair process. Tim worked directly with our insurance company, ensuring all necessary repairs were fully covered. He communicated with us every step of the way, providing clear updates and timelines. The workmanship was excellent, and when we noticed a small issue after the initial repair, Tim immediately had the crew return to resolve it. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and customer care were outstanding. I highly recommend Frontline Roofing!!!

After a bad hail storm came through, Tim made the whole process, from beginning to end, quick and easy. I needed a new roof, gutters, and a window replaced and it was done in a timely manner. Sent him and his crew over to my family as well. Highly recommend Frontline Roofing!

We had an exceptional experience using Tim Barker Roofing Company in Nov 2023. We needed a new roof quickly to close on the sale of our home. Mr. Barker got his crew out within two days of my call and finished our entire roof in one day. We had a large home, so it was a lot of area to cover. They did not cut corners and used the highest quality materials. Mr. Barker communicates with you every step of the way. You always know what to expect. No surprises. His pricing was also very reasonable. He not only had an amazing crew, but he personally supervised it all. He went above and beyond to help our situation. I would HIGHLY recommend using his services. You will not be disappointed! Heather Rice McKinney, Texas

Frequently asked

Is there a Texas state license for roofers?
No. Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. Homeowners should instead verify liability insurance, check voluntary credentials such as RCAT membership or the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, and confirm city registration where a city requires it.
What does RCAT Member status mean, and how is it different from RCAT Licensed?
An RCAT Member belongs to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas and pays dues to participate in the trade group. The RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is a separate, tested certification. Frontline RFG is listed with Member status, which reflects association membership rather than the licensing credential.
How bad is hail in Collin County?
Collin County sits in North Texas Hail Alley, and towns like Melissa, McKinney, and Anna take damaging hail on a regular cycle. Hail is the dominant cause of roof insurance claims in the county, so an inspection after any large storm is sensible even when damage is not visible from the ground.
Should I consider Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
In Collin County, usually yes. Class 4 shingles carry the highest impact rating and many Texas insurers offer discounts for them. Ask your insurer about both the discount and any cosmetic damage exclusion before committing, because the two together determine the real value.
Can a roofing company cover my deductible if I file a hail claim?
No. Waiving or absorbing an insurance deductible has been illegal for Texas contractors since 2019, and your insurer can require proof that you paid it. Any company advertising a free deductible is breaking the law.
Do I need a permit to reroof in McKinney or Melissa?
Permit rules are set by each city, not the state. McKinney and Melissa each have their own building departments with their own requirements for reroofing work. Ask the contractor how permitting will be handled for your address and verify with the city if you want certainty.
Frontline Roofing is a newer company. What should I check with a newer contractor?
Age matters less than verification. Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance sent from the insurer, recent local references, and a written contract with specific materials and warranty terms. Frontline's checkable record includes BBB accreditation with an A+ rating since 2023 and a formation date of January 2021.
Does Frontline Roofing help with insurance claims?
Yes. The company emphasizes making sure homeowners fully understand contracts, insurance claims, and construction work before a project begins, and it assists with the claim process on storm-damaged roofs. The final claim decision always rests with your insurer.
What does it cost to have my roof looked at?
Frontline advertises free inspections and estimates on new roof construction, roof replacement, and roof repairs. A no-cost inspection with photos is a reasonable first step after any hailstorm, before deciding whether to involve your insurance company.
What questions should I ask before signing a roofing contract?
Ask who will actually be on the roof, what happens if hidden decking damage is found, how change orders are priced, what the workmanship warranty covers separately from the shingle warranty, and when payment is due. Avoid any contract requiring full payment before materials arrive.
