About
Kidd Roofing is one of the larger roofing contractors operating in Texas. It was founded in 1982 and trades legally as D.R. Kidd Company, Inc. The address on the City of Plano contractor register, 2916 Story Road West in Irving, is the company's Dallas area office in Dallas County, reached on 972-823-7663. It is a branch, not the head office. The company's own site places the headquarters in Austin at 1212 E Anderson Lane, and lists further offices in San Antonio, Houston, Broomfield in Colorado and Orlando in Florida.
The Irving office is a genuine staffed location rather than a mail drop. It carries its own local phone number published by the company, its own Dallas page on the company website, its own Irving BBB profile (accredited since June 2011, A+ rating) and its own GAF contractor listing registered to the Irving street address. Kidd Roofing is also a member of the Dallas Builders Association and the Texas Association of Builders.
The work handled from the Dallas office spans residential, commercial and multi-family roofing, new construction, hail damage repair, ongoing maintenance, wall cladding and architectural panel forming. Material coverage is unusually broad for a residential roofer and includes shingles, metal, tile, single ply membranes, modified bitumen, built-up systems and green roof assemblies. Named service cities from the company's Dallas page include Dallas, Irving, Arlington, Garland, Plano and Fort Worth.

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.

InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
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.
RegionIrving
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 the Irving office Kidd Roofing's head office?
No. Kidd Roofing's headquarters is in Austin at 1212 E Anderson Lane. The Irving address at 2916 Story Road West is the company's Dallas area branch and is the one registered with the City of Plano. When you call 972-823-7663 you are reaching the Dallas operation, and that is the team that would handle a Plano or Collin County job.
Does Texas licence roofing contractors at state level?
No. There is no Texas state roofing licence, so any company describing itself as state licensed for roofing is overstating things. The things you can actually verify are city registration where the work happens, a current certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance, manufacturer credentials such as GAF Master Elite, and voluntary association membership.
Was Kidd Roofing found in the RCAT directory?
We searched the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory and did not find a record for Kidd Roofing. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence says nothing about competence, particularly for a company that is a National Roofing Contractors Association member instead. If the company tells you it is an RCAT member, ask for the directory link.
What does GAF Master Elite actually mean?
Master Elite is the top tier of GAF's contractor programme. GAF grants it only to contractors that meet its requirements for licensing where applicable, insurance, and a track record it reviews, and it limits the number of firms that hold it. The practical benefit to a homeowner is access to GAF's enhanced system warranties, which only Master Elite contractors can offer.
Why does hail dominate roofing conversations in Plano and Dallas?
North Texas sits in the corridor often called Hail Alley, and severe hail is a routine seasonal event rather than a rare one. Most roof replacements around Dallas, Plano and Irving are driven by a hail claim. That is also why storm chasing out of state crews appear after every big event, and why a company with a permanent local office is worth something.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth the extra cost here?
Often yes. Class 4 is the top result in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test, and those shingles hold up better against bruising and granule loss. Several Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a documented Class 4 roof. Ask your carrier what discount applies to your policy, then weigh it against the upgrade cost over the life of the roof.
Who handles the permit for a roof replacement in Plano?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection rules are set city by city. In practice the roofing contractor registers with the city and pulls the permit for the job. Confirm in writing which party is responsible before work starts, and do not accept a suggestion to work without a permit.
What is the difference between a manufacturer warranty and a workmanship warranty?
The manufacturer warranty covers defects in the shingles or membrane and comes from GAF, CertainTeed or whoever made the product. The workmanship warranty covers installation errors and comes from the contractor. Most leaks in the first years come from installation, not from the material, so the workmanship term and who stands behind it matter as much as the headline manufacturer number.
Can Kidd Roofing handle a flat or commercial roof rather than shingles?
Yes. The company lists single ply membrane, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, metal, tile, coatings and green roof systems alongside shingles, and it runs commercial and multi-family divisions as well as residential. That range is wider than a typical residential only roofer, which matters if you own a low slope roof or a small commercial building.
What should I nail down before signing with any North Texas roofer?
Get a certificate of insurance sent directly by the insurer or agent. Get the workmanship and manufacturer warranties in writing with their lengths. Ask whether the crew are employees or subcontractors, and who supervises. Ask what happens to your price if the insurance adjuster revises the scope. And know that under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 707 no contractor may pay or absorb your deductible.
