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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Does Hardy Built hold a Texas state roofing license?
Texas does not license roofers at the state level, so no roofing company can hold one. Homeowners instead look for markers like insurance, RCAT involvement, and BBB accreditation, and Hardy Built is listed here as an RCAT Member.
Is Hardy Built BBB accredited?
Yes. BBB shows Hardy Built as accredited since January 2025 with an A+ rating.
How long has Hardy Built been in business?

What services does Hardy Built offer besides roofing?
In addition to roof repair, maintenance, storm damage assessment, and replacement, the company installs and maintains gutters and repairs, stains, and installs fencing.
What areas does Hardy Built serve?
It is based in Allen and serves the Dallas-Fort Worth area and surrounding communities.
Can Hardy Built help after a hailstorm?
Yes, storm damage assessment for wind and hail is a listed service. Collin County sits in North Texas hail country, so post-storm inspections and insurance documentation are a routine part of local roofing work.
What does RCAT Member status mean?
It means the company belongs to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas as a dues-paying member. That is different from RCAT's separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, which requires testing.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Allen?
Permitting in Texas is handled city by city. Check with the City of Allen's building department, and ask your contractor who will handle any required permit.
Should I verify insurance before hiring any DFW roofer?
Yes. Since Texas has no state roofing license, ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance sent directly from the insurer before work begins.
What should homeowners ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Get the scope, materials, and warranty in writing, and know that Texas law makes it illegal for a contractor to waive or absorb your insurance deductible.
