About
Johnny Walker Roofing & Construction operates from 6824 Glenhurst Drive in North Richland Hills, Tarrant County, and covers the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. It registered with the City of Frisco so it can work there, and Frisco is one of the cities it names on its own service area page. The trading name is not a person: BBB records the owners as John Poteet and Walker Carrell, and the company's site describes the business as founded in early 2023 by John and Walker after more than 16 years between them running roofing and construction projects in the DFW area. The entity itself was incorporated on 4 August 2022.
The scope is roofing plus general exterior construction. Its own site lists roof replacement, roof repair and inspection, emergency roof repair, commercial roofing, storm damage assessment and insurance claims assistance, alongside gutters, fencing, siding, attic venting and painting. The roofing materials it names are asphalt, metal, stone coated steel and tile. Stone coated steel is a less common offering in North Texas and is worth asking about if you want a metal roof that keeps a tile or shake profile.
The service area page lists roughly two dozen cities, and it stretches well past the immediate metroplex to Weatherford, Decatur, Bridgeport, Paradise, Runaway Bay and Wichita Falls, which suggests genuine willingness to travel west and northwest rather than a pure suburban footprint. One thing to check: the company's website displays a BBB logo, but the BBB profile itself records the business as not BBB accredited, with a BBB file opened in August 2023 and an A plus rating. An A plus rating and accreditation are different things, so ask the company to clarify which it means.

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.

RegionNorth Richland Hills
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
Is Johnny Walker Roofing based in Frisco?
No. The business address is 6824 Glenhurst Drive, North Richland Hills, in Tarrant County. It registered with the City of Frisco so that it can pull permits and work there, and Frisco appears on its own service area page alongside Plano, McKinney and around twenty other cities.
Is Johnny Walker a real person?
The name comes from the two owners. BBB records John Poteet and Walker Carrell as the owners, and the company's site says it was founded by John and Walker. So the trading name combines their first names rather than naming a single individual.
How long has the company been operating?
The entity was incorporated on 4 August 2022 and the company's own site says it launched in early 2023. BBB opened its file in August 2023. The owners describe more than 16 years of combined roofing and construction experience in the DFW area before starting this business.
Is the company BBB accredited?
Its website displays a BBB logo, but the BBB profile itself records the business as not BBB accredited. It does carry an A plus BBB rating. A rating and an accreditation are two different things, so it is worth asking the company to clarify what the logo on its site is meant to convey.
Does it hold a Texas roofing license?
No Texas roofer does, because Texas issues no state roofing license. The meaningful checks are current general liability and workers compensation insurance, city registration where a city requires it, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT membership or the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor designation.
Does the company appear in the RCAT directory?
A search of the RCAT directory for Johnny Walker did not return a record, so the status here is not found via RCAT search. RCAT membership is voluntary and many capable Texas roofers are not members, so this is not a mark against the company.
What is stone coated steel roofing and why would I want it?
It is a steel panel finished with a stone granule coating, so it gives the impact and fire performance of metal while looking closer to tile or shake. It costs more than asphalt shingle up front and lasts considerably longer. Ask for the specific product, the warranty terms and examples of local installs.
How does hail damage get handled on an insurance claim in Tarrant County?
You file with your carrier, an adjuster inspects and issues a scope, and the contractor prices to that scope. Have the roof inspected and photographed after a significant storm even if nothing is visible from the ground, and file promptly because carriers set deadlines. No contractor may legally absorb or waive your deductible in Texas.
Are impact resistant shingles worth the upgrade here?
Frequently yes in North Texas, where hail is the main cause of early roof replacement. Class 4 impact resistant shingles are tested against hail impact and many Texas insurers apply a premium discount. Confirm the discount with your insurer first, then have the exact product and rating written into the estimate.
What does the Frisco contractor register actually confirm?
Only that the company registered. Frisco publishes registration number, company name, address and record id, with no status column and no expiry date, because expiry is tied to each contractor's own general liability insurance certificate. Ask the company to confirm its registration and its insurance are both current before work starts.
