About
JHawk Roofing LLC is a small roofing contractor based at 246 W Highway 70 in Olton, a farming town in Lamb County on the South Plains. The company also uses a mailing address of P.O. Box 16, Olton, Texas 79064, and its published contact is Kylen Hall at 806-583-7269.
The company handles both residential and commercial work. Its site describes roofing installation, repair and maintenance for homes, flat roof and metal roofing systems for commercial buildings, and repair work for leaks and storm damage. Project photography on the site references work in the Plainview and Amarillo areas as well as Olton itself.
Web presence is limited, which is normal for a contractor serving small Panhandle and South Plains communities. The company displays a GAF certified contractor mark and an RCAT mark on its own website, and it appears in the RCAT directory under Olton. Lamb County sits in a part of Texas that takes regular spring and early summer hail, so hail claim work and impact resistant roofing are the practical concerns for property owners here.

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.

City/county registration

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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.
Certifications
GAF certified roofing contractor (stated by the company)Company-reported — ask to see the certificate
No. There is no state roofing licence in Texas. Any roofer telling you they are state licensed for roofing is wrong. What you can verify is current liability and workers compensation insurance, RCAT status, manufacturer certification and whatever registration the local city requires.
What does RCAT Member mean here?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Member means the company belongs to the association. RCAT also awards a separate Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) that has to be earned individually. JHawk Roofing is listed as a Member, not as holding that separate credential.
Is JHawk Roofing really GAF certified?
The company displays a GAF certified contractor mark on its own website. That claim was not confirmed on GAF's own contractor directory during research, so treat it as stated by the company and ask for the GAF contractor ID before relying on it for a manufacturer backed warranty.
How bad is hail in Lamb County?
The South Plains gets frequent severe thunderstorms from spring through early summer, and hail is the single biggest cause of roof loss in this part of Texas. Many roofs here are replaced on insurance claims rather than because they wore out.
Are impact resistant shingles worth it on the South Plains?
Often yes. Class 4 shingles are tested under UL 2218 against a steel ball impact and hold up better to moderate hail. Most Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, so ask your carrier what the discount is and compare it against the extra material cost.
Why is metal roofing common on rural Lamb County buildings?
Standing seam and screw down metal panels handle wind well, shed snow and hail debris, and last decades on barns, shops and farm buildings. Metal can still dent under large hail, so ask specifically whether your policy treats cosmetic denting as a covered loss.
What should I do straight after a hail storm?
Photograph the property from the ground, note the date, and get a written inspection with photos of the roof surface, soft metals and vents. Do not sign anything that assigns your insurance claim benefits to the contractor until you have read it carefully.
Do I need a permit to reroof a house in Olton?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so it varies. Small cities on the South Plains differ widely in what they require. Call Olton City Hall, or the relevant city or Lamb County office, and confirm before work starts rather than assuming.
Does WPI-8 windstorm certification apply out here?
No. WPI-8 certification through the Texas Department of Insurance applies only to the 14 first tier coastal counties covered by TWIA. Lamb County is inland on the High Plains, so WPI-8 has no bearing on a roof here.
What should I ask before signing with any roofer in a small town?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly by the insurer, a written scope that names the exact shingle or panel product and the underlayment, who pulls any required permit, the workmanship warranty length in writing, and whether the crew is the company's own or subcontracted.
