About
HonestRoof.com is a roofing contractor based at 3901 Arlington Highlands Blvd, Suite 200 in Arlington, Tarrant County, and it appears on the City of Plano register of general contractors. The Better Business Bureau carries the business under the name Honestroof.com with Dennis B. Harrison as president, records it as started in April 1990 and incorporated in September 2011, and has accredited it since January 2013 with an A plus rating.
The company's own site describes roof inspections, full roof replacement, roof repairs, roof restoration and attic ventilation upgrades, and says it installs laminated Owens Corning and GAF asphalt shingles backed by a written 20 year leak free labor warranty. It publishes a service area of 52 cities spread across eight North Texas counties: Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Parker, Johnson, Ellis and Kaufman.
The company registered with Plano under its domain name. We looked for a separate corporate entity behind the domain and did not find one: both the BBB record and the company's own site use HonestRoof.com as the business name, so that is the name we display.

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.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Plano Check the register ↗Registered general contractor, City of Plano. Roofing companies register in Plano's general contractor category, which also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign work; it is a $100 annual registration renewed yearly, and the city's published requirements do not list proof of insurance or a bond. 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.
RegionArlington
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 license roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no state roofing license, so no roofer in Texas can be state licensed. What you can actually check is general liability and workers compensation insurance, whether the company holds a voluntary credential such as RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor, and whether it is registered with the city where your house is.
Is HonestRoof.com listed in the RCAT directory?
We searched the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory in August 2026 and did not find a record for this company. That is not a mark against it. RCAT membership is voluntary and many established roofers never join. It simply means we cannot report an RCAT status here.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
They are two different things. Member means the company pays dues to the association. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately by examination and carries continuing education. A company can be a member without holding the credential, so ask which one a contractor means.
Arlington sits in hail country. What roofing choice actually helps?
Class 4 impact resistant shingles are the usual answer in North Texas. They are tested to resist a two inch steel ball impact and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your carrier what the discount is worth before you decide, because it varies a lot by company.
How do I verify a roofer's insurance rather than take their word for it?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent to you directly by the agent or insurer, not a PDF forwarded by the salesperson. Check that general liability is current on the day work starts, and ask whether crews are covered by workers compensation or are subcontracted.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in the Dallas Fort Worth area?
Usually yes, but Texas has no statewide building code, so the rule is set city by city. Arlington, Fort Worth, Dallas and Plano each run their own permitting and contractor registration. Ask who pulls the permit and confirm it is pulled in the contractor's name, not yours.
What is the difference between a manufacturer warranty and a workmanship warranty?
The manufacturer warranty covers the shingle itself and comes from Owens Corning, GAF or whoever made it. The workmanship warranty covers the installation and comes from the contractor. This company advertises a 20 year leak free labor warranty, which is the second kind. Get both in writing.
A door knocker offered a free inspection after a hailstorm. Is that normal?
Canvassing after a storm is common in North Texas and not automatically a red flag, but out of town storm chasers follow the hail too. Before you sign anything, check the company has a real local address, a phone that has been in service for years, and a verifiable BBB or city registration record.
Should I let the roofer handle my insurance claim?
A roofer can meet your adjuster and document damage, and many do. What they cannot do in Texas is negotiate or adjust the claim on your behalf unless they are a licensed public adjuster, and the same firm cannot both adjust and repair. Be wary of anyone offering to cover your deductible.
What should be in the contract before I sign?
The full scope including decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and disposal, the exact shingle line and color, the payment schedule, the workmanship warranty term, and lien release language. Avoid large deposits before materials are delivered.
