About
GCSS Construction, also known as Gulf Coast Storm Solutions, is a roofing and construction contractor based at 3604 Longherridge Dr in Pearland, Texas, Brazoria County. BBB records show the business started in May 2021 and is led by President Scott Derry. It has been a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating since October 2021.
The company's own website describes metal, asphalt shingle, tile, and flat roofing installation, along with custom covered patios, siding, painting, seamless gutters, and home additions. It states it is fully insured, licensed, and bonded.
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 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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 GCSS Construction licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas issues no statewide roofing license, so there is no state license to check. Instead verify general liability insurance and Better Business Bureau standing. GCSS Construction has been a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating since October 2021.
Is GCSS Construction listed with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?
A search of the RCAT directory returned no results for GCSS Construction or Gulf Coast Storm Solutions. RCAT membership is voluntary, so this does not by itself say anything about the company's insurance or workmanship.
What roofing materials does GCSS Construction install?
According to its own website, the company installs metal, asphalt shingle, tile, and flat roofing systems.
Does GCSS Construction install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
This was not confirmed on the company's website. Ask directly whether the shingle products offered carry a Class 4 impact-resistant rating, which can qualify for insurance premium discounts in Texas hail regions.
Where is GCSS Construction located?
Its registered address is 3604 Longherridge Dr in Pearland, Texas, Brazoria County.
Is Brazoria County part of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) coastal zone?
Yes. Brazoria County is one of the 14 first-tier Gulf Coast counties covered under TWIA/WPI-8 windstorm insurance rules, and the company's own reviews mention work on Galveston Island, which is also in the TWIA zone.
Does Pearland require roofing permits?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set locally. Confirm permit requirements with the City of Pearland building department before roofing work begins.
What should I ask before hiring GCSS Construction or any Texas roofer?
Ask for proof of current general liability insurance, a written scope of work with named materials, and who is responsible for pulling any required permit.
