About
Lankford Roofing & Construction is a Texoma-region roofing contractor working out of 23994 W US Highway 82, Sherman, Texas 75092, on the highway between Sherman and Whitesboro in Grayson County. It is the oldest and best-documented of the Frisco registrants in this batch, and it registers with the City of Frisco because its service area reaches south down the US 75 corridor into Collin and Denton counties.
The company presents itself as established in 1937 and family-run, serving Grayson County and the surrounding area for generations. Work covers residential and commercial roofing: replacement and repair, storm damage assessment, flat roofing, and seamless gutters. Materials named on its own site are architectural and composition shingles, standing seam and exposed fastener metal, stone-coated steel, TPO membrane, cedar shingles and seamless gutters. Beyond Texas it also serves southern Oklahoma, including Durant, Ardmore, Madill, Tishomingo, Atoka, Hugo, Calera and Marietta, and it publishes a separate Oklahoma phone line.
On credentials, GAF's own contractor directory lists Lankford Roofing at the Sherman address as a Master Elite contractor with President's Club status, which is GAF's top certification tier and carries eligibility for the Golden Pledge limited warranty. The company holds an A+ BBB rating but is not a BBB Accredited Business, and the BBB file records a business start date of 1959 against the company's own 1937 claim, so the two dates do not agree. The BBB principal on record is Steven Polston, President. A search of the RCAT member directory returned no record for this company.

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
Where is Lankford Roofing based?
At 23994 W US Highway 82, Sherman, Texas 75092, which sits on the highway between Sherman and Whitesboro in Grayson County. The Sherman postal address is correct even though the location is west of the city itself.
How old is the company really?
The company states it was established in 1937 in Sherman and describes itself as family-owned across generations. Its BBB file records a business start date of July 1959 and an incorporation date of October 2017 for the current LLC. Those dates do not agree, so the 1937 figure is best treated as the company's own account of its origins rather than a confirmed record.
What does GAF Master Elite mean, and does Lankford have it?
Master Elite is GAF's highest contractor tier and requires the contractor to be licensed where applicable, insured, and to maintain a track record GAF monitors. GAF's own contractor directory lists Lankford Roofing at the Sherman address as Master Elite with President's Club status. Master Elite contractors can offer GAF's strongest warranties, including the Golden Pledge limited warranty.
Is Lankford BBB accredited?
No. The company holds an A+ BBB rating, which reflects BBB's own assessment, but its profile shows it is not a BBB Accredited Business. Accreditation is a paid programme, so its absence says nothing about workmanship. The two are commonly confused, so it is worth being precise about which one a contractor claims.
Is Lankford an RCAT member?
A search of the RCAT member directory returned no record for this company. RCAT membership and its Licensed Roofing Contractor credential are both voluntary, so their absence is not a mark against a contractor, but neither is available to lean on here. The GAF Master Elite listing is the verifiable credential in this case.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. There is no state roofing licence in Texas. Verification rests on current insurance, registration with the city where the work is done, voluntary RCAT credentials, and manufacturer certifications such as GAF Master Elite.
Why does hail matter so much in Grayson and Collin counties?
This part of North Texas sits in the country's most active hail corridor. Most roof replacements here are insurance claims following a hail event rather than simple age-related wear, which is why storm damage assessment is a core service for contractors in the region.
Should I upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
It is worth pricing. Class 4 is the top UL 2218 impact rating and many Texas insurers discount premiums for it. Call your own carrier first and ask what the discount would be on your policy, because the payback period depends entirely on that number.
Is a metal roof a good choice in North Texas?
It can be. Standing seam and stone-coated steel both stand up well to wind and shed hail better than they dent through, though large hail can cosmetically dent exposed panels. Ask specifically whether cosmetic damage is excluded from your insurance policy before choosing a metal roof, since many Texas policies now exclude it.
What should I check before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Get a certificate of insurance and phone the issuing agent to confirm it is active, confirm the contractor is registered with the city where your home is, get the manufacturer system and the workmanship warranty term in writing separately from the material warranty, and be wary of any offer to cover or waive your insurance deductible, which is against Texas law.
