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.

Insurance Required by RCAT Licensed credential (liability and workers’ comp cover are conditions of this credential; ask for the current certificate)
RCAT status Licensed Roofing Contractor Verify ↗credential held by Mike Gowdy CRRL
City/county registration
Required in Amarillo Permit office ↗Roofing Contractor Registration. Registration is required here to pull a roofing permit; we have not confirmed this company's own status, so check it before you sign.
Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0401 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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.

Robert Lee is spectacular! He works hard to take care of every detail and even negotiated with our insurance company too!
I would NEVER have thought to choose an Amarillo roofing company to do work on my home here in Lubbock, but Robert has been so wonderful that I would choose him over any Lubbock company!

Frequently asked
Does Texas require roofers to have a state license?
No. Texas has no state roofing license. Before hiring any roofer, ask for a current certificate of liability insurance, local references, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT status or manufacturer certifications.
What is the difference between an RCAT member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas has two levels. Plain membership means the company pays dues and agrees to a code of ethics. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential is separately earned through testing and proof of insurance, so the two are not the same thing.
Why does hail matter so much for Amarillo roofs?
The Texas Panhandle sits in Hail Alley, one of the most hail prone regions in the country. Frequent hail is the main reason Amarillo roofs are replaced, so damage inspections after storms and impact resistant materials are worth taking seriously.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in the Panhandle?
Often yes. Class 4 shingles carry the highest impact rating and stand up better to hail. Many Texas insurers also offer premium discounts for impact resistant roofs, so ask your insurance agent before you choose a shingle.
Will my homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Amarillo?
Most Texas homeowners policies cover hail and wind damage, minus your deductible. The usual path is a roof inspection, filing a claim, and an adjuster visit. Note that Texas law makes it illegal for a contractor to waive or absorb your insurance deductible.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Amarillo?
Texas has no statewide building code for this, so permitting is handled city by city. Check with the City of Amarillo building department, and confirm who is responsible for pulling any required permit before work starts.
How can I avoid storm chasers after a big hailstorm?
Prefer an established company with a verifiable local address and history, verify its insurance certificate directly with the insurer, avoid paying large sums up front, and be cautious with door to door sales crews that appear right after a storm.
What roofing materials hold up best in Panhandle weather?
High wind and hail are the main threats. Impact rated asphalt shingles and metal roofing are popular choices, and proper attic ventilation helps any roof last longer in the region's temperature swings.
Does Golden Spread Roofing offer free inspections?
Yes. The company advertises free, no obligation roof inspections, which is a reasonable first step after any hail or wind event.
What should I ask a roofer before signing a contract?
Get a written scope of work and price, proof of liability insurance, warranty terms for both materials and workmanship, a clear payment schedule, local references, and confirmation of who pulls any city permit.
