About
Metro-Tex Roofing and Construction is a family run roofing contractor based at Aledo, west of Fort Worth. The company hyphenates its own name as Metro-Tex, on its website, its BBB file and its Facebook page. Its legal name is Metro-Tex Roofing and Construction LLC. The shortened form on the City of Arlington contractor register is a truncation of that name, not the company's own styling.
Larry Boyce is listed on the BBB file as Director, and the email address published on the company's own site carries his initials, which is consistent with an owner run operation. The BBB records the business as starting on 1 January 2008 and the LLC as incorporated on 12 November 2010, and the company has been BBB Accredited since 24 November 2010 with an A+ rating. That gives it one of the longer accreditation histories in this batch.
The work covers roof inspection, repair and replacement across composition and asphalt shingle, metal and flat or low slope systems, plus redecks, gutters and downspouts, and windows and screens. Quotes are free and the published hours are unusually wide, eight in the morning to eight at night, seven days a week. The company describes its market as Aledo and the surrounding communities, which places it in the western edge of the Metroplex.

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.

City/county registration
Registered — Arlington Check the register ↗Registered contractor, City of Arlington. Arlington registers roofing companies in its general contractor category; its published dataset carries no registration number and no expiry date, and the dataset itself may lag by some months.. 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.

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
How is the company's name actually written?
Metro-Tex, with a hyphen. That is how it appears on the company's own website and About page, on its BBB file as Metro-Tex Roofing and Construction LLC, and on its Facebook page. The shortened "Metro-Tex Roofing and Co" form on the City of Arlington contractor register is a truncation of the registered name.
Is Metro-Tex licensed by the State of Texas?
No Texas roofer is. Texas issues no state roofing licence and has no roofing board. The company describes itself as licensed and insured, but in Texas that phrasing refers to city level registration and to insurance cover, not to a state roofing licence, because none exists. Ask for the certificate of insurance and confirm which cities it is registered in.
Who runs the business?
Larry Boyce is listed as Director on the BBB file for Metro-Tex Roofing and Construction LLC, and the contact email published on the company's own website carries his initials. He is also the contact name recorded on the City of Arlington contractor register, which is consistent with an owner led business.
How long has it been operating?
The BBB records the business as starting on 1 January 2008 and the LLC as incorporated on 12 November 2010. It has been BBB Accredited since 24 November 2010, so the accreditation record itself runs back more than a decade and is independently checkable.
Is the company an RCAT member?
It was not found via a search of the RCAT member directory at the time of writing. RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas and its membership is voluntary, so absence from the directory is not a mark against a contractor. There is simply no RCAT record to draw on here.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
They are two different things. A Member pays dues to the association. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's testing and continuing education programme and only some members hold it. Neither one is a government licence, and they should never be described as equivalent.
What should I know about hail out west of Fort Worth?
Parker and Tarrant county properties sit squarely in the North Texas hail belt, and hail is the leading cause of roof claims in the region. Impact resistant Class 4 shingles are rated against a steel ball impact test and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask for a Class 4 option priced next to the standard shingle and confirm the discount with your own insurer.
Does the company do metal and flat roofs as well as shingles?
Yes. Its own site and its BBB listing both cover composition and asphalt shingle, metal roofing and flat or low slope work, along with redecks. Flat and low slope systems are a different discipline from steep slope shingle work, so name your roof type when you call and ask for comparable references.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Aledo or Fort Worth?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting is decided city by city and, outside city limits, by the county. Most Metroplex cities require a permit for a full replacement and many require the contractor to register with the city first. Confirm which authority covers your address and have the contractor pull the permit in its own name.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for a certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance sent directly from the insurer. Ask whether the crew is in house or subcontracted. Get the workmanship warranty and any manufacturer warranty in writing and confirm what each covers. Avoid large deposits before materials arrive, and never sign a contract whose price is simply whatever your insurer eventually pays.
