About
Linear Roofing & General Contractors runs its Dallas-area operation from 4131 Centurion Way in Addison, in Dallas County, and GAF's contractor directory and the company's BBB profile both show it in business since 2015. The company presents itself as a general contractor rather than a roofing-only outfit, and it takes on residential, multi-family and commercial work, covering roof replacement, roof repair, storm restoration, siding, windows, gutters, doors and exterior painting.
The business is currently rebranding. The Stronghouse Dallas page states plainly that "Linear Roofing is becoming Stronghouse", linearroofing.com now issues a permanent redirect to linear.stronghousebrands.com, and the Addison address is published as Stronghouse's Dallas location. RCAT's record for member 661 now reads Stronghouse Solutions, LLC at that same Addison address, and the BBB profile for 4131 Centurion Way lists Stronghouse as the primary name with Linear Roofing & General Contractors, LLC and Linear Roofing as alternate names. That BBB profile shows accreditation since 2015 and an A plus rating.
Addison is only one of several Texas offices. The Stronghouse service area page lists Texas locations in Addison (Dallas), Austin, Amarillo, Houston, Lubbock and San Antonio, alongside operations in more than 40 states. GAF's own directory lists the company as a Master Elite contractor, its highest residential tier. North Texas sits in the state's hail belt, and the Addison operation's published service mix leans heavily on storm and hail damage restoration and insurance claim work.

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.
CompanyLinear Roofing and General Contractors
InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
City/county registration
Not checked for AddisonTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.
Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0556 or the company name.
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 Linear Roofing the same company as Stronghouse?
Yes. The Stronghouse Dallas page states that Linear Roofing is becoming Stronghouse, linearroofing.com permanently redirects to linear.stronghousebrands.com, and the BBB profile for 4131 Centurion Way in Addison lists Stronghouse as the primary name with Linear Roofing & General Contractors, LLC as an alternate name. RCAT's record for member 661 has also been updated to Stronghouse Solutions, LLC at the same address. If you signed a contract under the Linear name, ask in writing which legal entity now holds the agreement and the workmanship warranty.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence and no state agency that issues one. Any Texas roofer can legally start work without a state credential, so the checks that actually matter are proof of general liability and workers compensation insurance, voluntary industry credentials such as RCAT, manufacturer certifications, and whatever registration or permit your specific city requires.
What does this company's RCAT status mean?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas record for member 661 shows Member status. RCAT membership means the company pays dues and belongs to the association. It is not the same as RCAT's separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL), which requires testing and additional requirements. Both are voluntary and neither is a government licence.
What is GAF Master Elite and does it matter?
Master Elite is GAF's highest residential contractor tier. GAF limits it to a small share of the roofers it certifies and requires proof of insurance and a track record before granting it. The practical benefit is access to GAF's strongest enhanced warranties, which a non-certified contractor cannot offer. You can confirm any roofer's current tier yourself at gaf.com's contractor directory rather than taking a logo on a website at face value.
Why does hail matter so much for a roof in the Dallas area?
Dallas County sits in the North Texas hail belt, where damaging hail is a routine annual event rather than a rare one. Hail is the single most common cause of roof replacement in the metroplex, which is why storm restoration and insurance claim work make up a large share of what Dallas-area roofers do.
Should I ask for Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
In hail-prone North Texas it is usually worth pricing. Class 4 is the top impact rating under the UL 2218 test, and many Texas homeowners insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Ask your insurer what discount applies before you choose, and get the shingle's rating in writing on the contract, since not every architectural shingle is Class 4.
How do I verify a Texas roofer's insurance?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurance agent to you, not a PDF forwarded by the salesperson. Check that general liability is current and that workers compensation is included. Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers compensation, so if the roofer has none, injuries on your property can become your problem.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof near Addison?
Probably, but it depends on the jurisdiction. Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting and inspection rules are set city by city and county by county. Addison, Dallas, Plano, Richardson and the unincorporated county areas each set their own requirements. Confirm with your own city's building department, and make the contract say the contractor pulls the permit.
What should I check before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Get the full scope in writing including decking replacement pricing, underlayment, ventilation and the shingle line and colour. Confirm who pulls the permit, what the workmanship warranty covers and for how long, and what the manufacturer warranty is. Under Texas Business and Commerce Code chapter 27, a roofing contract tied to an insurance claim can generally be cancelled within a few days of being told the insurer denied all or part of the claim, so read the cancellation clause.
Can a Texas roofer negotiate my insurance claim for me?
No. Texas Insurance Code section 4102.163 bars a roofing contractor from acting as a public adjuster or negotiating a claim on your behalf for a property they are also contracted to repair. A roofer may document damage, meet the adjuster on site and supply a scope and estimate. If a contractor offers to handle the negotiation or to waive or absorb your deductible, treat both as red flags, since deductible waiving is separately unlawful in Texas.
