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.

RegionBrownsville
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Does Texas require roofing contractors to hold a state license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Confirm a contractor's general liability insurance and references instead, and check whether it belongs to an industry group like the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT).
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Plain RCAT Membership only means a company pays dues to join. The separate Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL, or CRL) is earned through additional requirements, so ask which status a contractor actually holds.
Is Longhorn Home & Commercial LLC listed with RCAT?
RCAT member directory searches for 'Longhorn' returned only unrelated companies (Longhorn Commercial Roofing LLC in Houston, Irving, San Antonio, Austin, and Cleburne, and Longhorn Roofing in Austin); none are in Brownsville, so no RCAT record was found for this company.
Is Longhorn Home & Commercial LLC BBB accredited?
Yes. Its BBB profile shows an A rating, accredited since 8/14/2024.
What does 'Owens Corning Preferred Contractor' mean?
It is a status Owens Corning awards to contractors who meet its training, licensing, and insurance requirements. This company lists that status on its own website and its BBB profile.
What is WPI-8 or TWIA windstorm certification, and does it matter in Brownsville?
Cameron County, which includes Brownsville, is one of the Texas coastal counties covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), where roof work often must meet WPI-8 windstorm building standards to qualify for windstorm coverage. Ask any roofing contractor, including this one, whether your project needs WPI-8 certification and confirm their experience with it.
What roofing materials does Longhorn Home & Commercial LLC install?
Per its own website, the company installs architectural shingles, standing seam metal, and R-panel metal roofing, plus commercial and flat roofing systems.
Does Brownsville require a roofing permit?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is decided city by city. Confirm directly with the City of Brownsville's building department whether your project needs a permit.
What should I ask before signing a contract with a roofer?
Ask for proof of general liability insurance, a written scope of work, the materials and warranty offered, and whether the crew is the company's own employees or a subcontractor.
What areas does Longhorn Home & Commercial LLC serve and how long has it been in business?
Founded in January 2024, the company serves Brownsville, Edinburg, McAllen, Harlingen, Weslaco, and the surrounding Rio Grande Valley.
