About
Kirby's Roofing & Custom Homes is a San Antonio area contractor that works on both sides of a house. It replaces, repairs and installs roofs, and it also builds and renovates homes. The company brands itself with an apostrophe on its own website and social accounts as Kirby's Roofing and Custom Homes, while the registered legal entity appears without one as Kirby Roofing and Custom Homes LLC. Its BBB profile names Brian Kirby as owner, records the business start date as 6/6/2022, and shows BBB Accreditation with an A+ rating since 2/9/2024.
On the roofing side the company describes installation, repair and replacement for residential and commercial properties in asphalt shingle, metal, TPO and tile, plus new construction roofs and re-roofs. On the building side it describes full custom home construction, whole home renovations, additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels and general home repair. Its BBB service list also includes siding, gutters, windows and flooring. Anyone comparing bids should be clear about which division is quoting, because a roofing contract and a homebuilding contract are very different documents with different payment schedules and different warranty language.
The company presents itself as a third generation family roofing business that took the family trade into a newer company, and its own materials say the owner is a twenty year military veteran. It names Shavano Park, Stone Oak, The Dominion, Alamo Heights and New Braunfels among the communities it serves. This is inland Bexar County territory, so the dominant roofing risk is hail and wind, not coastal windstorm.

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.

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 this a roofing company or a home builder?
Both. Kirby's Roofing & Custom Homes runs a roofing division that installs, repairs and replaces roofs, and a construction division that builds custom homes and handles renovations, additions and remodels. Be explicit about which one you are hiring, and make sure the contract you sign matches that scope.
Why does that matter when I am comparing quotes?
A reroof is a defined, short duration job with a product list and a workmanship warranty. A custom build or a whole home renovation involves draw schedules, change orders, subcontractor management and a much longer timeline. The same company can do both well, but you should not evaluate them with the same checklist.
Where is the company based?
The San Antonio Contractor Connect register lists Live Oak, which is a small incorporated city inside Bexar County northeast of San Antonio. Its BBB profile lists a Pleasanton, Texas address, which is in Atascosa County south of San Antonio. Ask which address is the working office before you sign.
Is the brand spelled with an apostrophe?
The company uses the apostrophe in its own branding, on its website and on its Instagram account. The registered legal entity is recorded without one. Both refer to the same business, but the legal entity name is what should appear on your contract and on the certificate of insurance.
Does Texas license roofers?
No. Texas has no state roofing license. Nobody roofing in Texas is state licensed, and any company claiming to be should be questioned. The meaningful checks are current insurance, city registration where required, RCAT status, and manufacturer credentials you can find in the manufacturer's own directory.
Is the company listed with RCAT?
No record was found via the RCAT directory search at the time of this review. RCAT membership is voluntary and plenty of established Texas roofers have never joined, so this is a neutral finding rather than a negative one.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed?
Member means the company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and insurance requirements and comes with a license number. Do not let a company present plain membership as a license.
What insurance should I confirm?
General liability and workers compensation, both current, with the certificate emailed to you directly by the insurance agency. Check that the named insured matches the legal entity on your contract. For a homebuilding or major renovation contract also ask about builder's risk coverage.
What roofing product makes sense for hail in the San Antonio area?
This is inland Bexar County, so hail and straight line wind are the main threats and there is no coastal windstorm requirement here. Class 4 impact resistant shingles, rated under the UL 2218 steel ball test, hold up better to hail and many Texas insurers give a premium discount for them. Ask your carrier what the discount is before choosing.
What should the contract include?
The legal entity name and address, the exact products and colors, the tear off and decking replacement scope, who pulls the city permit, the total price, the workmanship warranty term, and the payment schedule. Under Texas law a contractor cannot pay or absorb your insurance deductible, and a repair contract tied to an insurance claim can be voided within a short window if the insurer denies coverage.
