About
Merit Roofing Systems, Inc. is a commercial roofing contractor that has been in business since 1997 and is registered as a roofing contractor with the City of Dallas. The company describes itself as a full service commercial roofing contractor specializing in the installation and maintenance of single-ply roof systems, and it works on commercial, educational, governmental and industrial buildings. Its own site says it also handles mission critical facilities such as data centers, refineries and hospitals, and it uses the tagline "Comprehensive Solutions for Complex Problems".
The work list on the company's site runs from roof evaluations and budgetary estimates through service and maintenance, roof coatings, full roof replacement and new construction. Merit also lists disaster recovery, snow removal, daylighting solutions and a 24 hour emergency response line, which is the profile of a contractor that keeps existing commercial roofs running rather than a storm chasing residential outfit. It states over 25 years of experience overall and over 20 years responding to major storm events.
The Dallas registered contractor list records the company in Richardson, which matches its former address at 675 N Glenville Dr Ste 145. The company's own website and its BBB profile now both give 500 Industry Way Ste 40 in Prosper, a flex office and warehouse building on Cook Lane southeast of the Dallas North Tollway and Prosper Trail. That address sits in Collin County, so the county has been corrected accordingly. Merit has been a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating since 2003 and BBB records incorporation on 3 January 1997.

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.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). 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.
RegionRichardson
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 Merit Roofing Systems a residential or commercial roofer?
Commercial. The company describes itself as a full service commercial roofing contractor and lists commercial, educational, governmental and industrial facilities as its markets. Homeowners looking for a single house reroof should expect this to be outside its normal scope.
How long has Merit Roofing Systems been in business?
Since 1997. The BBB profile lists incorporation on 3 January 1997, and the company's own site refers to over 25 years of experience.
Where is the company actually based?
Its current office is 500 Industry Way, Suite 40, Prosper, Texas 75078, per its own website and its BBB profile. The City of Dallas registered contractor list still shows the older Richardson location at 675 N Glenville Dr.
Does Texas issue a state roofing licence?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence, so no roofer in Texas can truthfully claim to be state licensed. Trust is built on verified insurance, voluntary credentials such as RCAT status and manufacturer certifications, and city or county registration where a municipality requires it.
What does the City of Dallas registration mean?
Dallas requires roofing contractors working in the city to register under the city code. Registration is an administrative requirement, not a competency exam, and the city does not publish a licence number or an expiry date for registered roofers.
Is Merit Roofing Systems listed with RCAT?
No record was found via the RCAT directory search for this company. That is not the same as saying it is unlisted. RCAT membership is voluntary, and many established Texas commercial roofers are not members.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
An RCAT Member is a company that pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's own testing and continuing education programme. They are not equivalent and should never be treated as the same thing.
What roof systems does Merit install?
Its site says it works with all types of roof systems, from metal to single-ply to built-up, with single-ply membrane as its stated specialty. It also offers coating solutions over existing systems.
Why do North Texas commercial roofs need hail attention?
Collin, Dallas and the surrounding counties sit in the part of Texas often called Hail Alley. Hail bruises single-ply membranes and dents metal panels, and damage is frequently invisible from the ground. A documented post storm inspection is what supports an insurance claim later.
What should a building owner ask before signing a commercial roofing contract?
Ask for a current certificate of insurance naming general liability and workers compensation, ask which manufacturer warranty is being offered and whether the contractor is approved by that manufacturer to issue it, ask who pulls the permit, and get the scope written down in system and thickness terms rather than as a single lump sum line.
