About
JM Flores Roofing and Construction has served Laredo and Webb County since 1963, making it one of the longest-operating roofing contractors in the area. The company works on residential, commercial and industrial roofs, offering shingle, metal and flat roof systems along with gutter installation, and it assists with hail damage assessment for insurance claims.
The company holds a Commercial GAF Master Roofer certification, which it states allows it to offer GAF's industry-leading warranties on commercial projects. It also fabricates its own metal roofing panels (R-Panel, Classic Panel and Standing Seam) and seamless six-inch gutters in multiple colors.
JM Flores has been recognized by independent local business directories, including a Best Roofers in Laredo listing from Expertise.com (2021) and a ranking among Laredo roofing contractors from BuildZoom.
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Texas require roofing contractors to hold a state license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. The best way to vet a roofer is to confirm current general liability insurance and check trade association status, such as membership with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT).
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT Membership means a company pays dues to belong to the association. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL/RRL/CRL) is a separate, harder-earned designation. The two should never be treated as equivalent, so ask a contractor directly which one it holds.
Why do Texas roofers recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
Class 4 shingles are tested to better resist hail impact, which matters given how often hail drives roof damage and insurance claims across Texas. Some insurers also offer premium discounts for installing them.
Is there a statewide building code for roofing permits in Texas?
No. Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and inspection requirements are set city by city and county by county. Always confirm local requirements with the relevant building department before work begins.
What should a homeowner ask a roofing contractor before signing a contract?
Ask for a current certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurer, references from recent local jobs, a written scope of work and materials list, and who will pull the permit.
How can I confirm a roofing company's insurance is real and current?
Request that the contractor's insurance agent or carrier send the certificate of insurance directly rather than accepting a document from the contractor, since certificates can be outdated or altered.
What is the difference between a roof repair and a full roof replacement?
A repair fixes a specific problem, such as a leak or a damaged section, while a replacement removes and installs an entirely new roofing system. Replacement is usually recommended when a roof is near the end of its life or has widespread storm damage.
Will homeowner's insurance cover hail or storm damage to my roof?
Most Texas homeowner policies cover sudden hail and wind damage, but coverage depends on the specific policy, the roof's age, and how quickly the damage is documented after a storm. Homeowners should review their policy and get a professional inspection after any major storm.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Timelines vary with roof size, material and weather, but most residential roof replacements are completed within one to three days once materials and crews are on site.
What warranty should come with a new roof?
Ask the contractor to specify both the manufacturer's material warranty and the contractor's own workmanship warranty in writing, since the two are separate and cover different things.
