About
Great American Roofing is a Trophy Club company, working from 99 Trophy Club Drive in the 76262 postcode on the Denton County side of the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. The company's own About page says it was founded in 1982 by Steve Frady, and the Better Business Bureau independently records a business start date of 1 January 1982 with Steve Frady named as owner, which lines the two sources up. That makes it one of the longer-running roofing businesses in the northern part of the metroplex.
The work is weighted toward commercial and institutional roofing rather than storm-chasing residential volume. The company splits its services four ways: institutional and government projects, investment property roofing aimed at owners who need speed and durability on a budget, commercial renovation and new construction, and residential roofing. Project descriptions name TPO systems, metal building roof retrofits, roof replacement, leak repair, chimney repair with custom chimney caps and downspout work. The site's tagline is Protecting Your Great American Dream, and the published contact details are (469) 325-3884 and info@mygreatamericanroofing.com.
The company is not BBB accredited and carries no BBB rating, which simply reflects that the BBB says it lacks sufficient information rather than any complaint history. It was not found in the RCAT member directory. Homeowners and property managers should ask for the current certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance, and confirm which manufacturer system warranty is being registered on the job.

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)
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.
RegionTrophy Club
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
Does Texas issue a roofing licence?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence and no state licensing board for roofers. Trust is built from proof of insurance, city registration where required, manufacturer credentials and voluntary credentials such as RCAT's.
What does the City of Dallas registration mean?
It is the registration the Dallas city code requires before a contractor can pull roofing permits inside the city. It is administrative rather than a competency test, and Dallas publishes no licence number and no expiry date for it.
Is this company an RCAT member?
A search of the RCAT member directory returned no record. That means not found via RCAT search, not that the company was refused. RCAT membership is voluntary and most Texas roofing companies are not members.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Member means the company pays dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (RRL, CRRL or CRL) is earned separately by an individual through RCAT's own requirements. They are different things and should not be treated as the same.
How old is the company?
Its own About page says it was founded in 1982 by Steve Frady, and the BBB profile records a business start date of 1 January 1982 with Steve Frady as owner. Two independent sources give the same year.
Why is the BBB profile unrated?
The BBB profile shows the business as not accredited and states that the BBB does not have sufficient information to issue a rating. That is an absence of information, not a negative finding. Treat it as neutral.
Is Trophy Club in Denton County or Tarrant County?
Trophy Club straddles the line but the 99 Trophy Club Drive address falls on the Denton County side, in the 76262 postcode that also carries Roanoke mailing addresses. Permitting for that address runs through the Town of Trophy Club.
Does hail matter this far north in the metroplex?
Yes. Denton and Tarrant counties sit squarely in North Texas hail alley, and hail rather than wind is the dominant reason roofs get replaced here. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles are worth pricing on a residential job, and many Texas insurers discount the premium for them.
What is TPO and when is it used?
TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. It is welded at the seams and reflects heat, which matters on Texas rooftops. It is a commercial system, not something you would put on a pitched residential roof.
What should I ask for before signing?
A current certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance sent directly by the insurance agent, a written scope naming the exact membrane or shingle system, the manufacturer warranty being registered, the separate labour warranty, who pulls the permit, and the payment schedule. Avoid large deposits before materials arrive.
