About
MK Custom Roofing, Inc. is a Tarrant County roofing contractor at 7351 Airport Fwy in Richland Hills, on the Airport Freeway corridor between Fort Worth and North Richland Hills. The City of Plano register of general contractors carries the company at that address with the phone number (817) 589-9270, the same number its Yelp, Foursquare and BuildZoom listings publish. The BBB records the business as having started on 4 September 2001 and names Shane Blevins as principal.
What sets the company apart in its own directory descriptions is the range of roof types it takes on. Alongside ordinary composition shingle it lists slate, tile, synthetic slate and tile, and metal roofing, which is a narrower and more specialised field than most North Texas residential roofers work in. Its stated focus is storm damage restoration together with new residential and multi family construction, and it offers free estimates.
The company operates across the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex rather than out of Plano, which is why it appears on the Plano contractor register. A separate BBB address record for MK Custom Roofing Inc in Houston suggests the company has or has had a presence beyond DFW. Its BBB profile is not accredited and carries no rating, and its website was not serving pages correctly during research, so homeowners should ask directly for a current certificate of general liability insurance and for references on the specific roof material being quoted.

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 — Plano Check the register ↗Registered general contractor, City of Plano. Roofing companies register in Plano's general contractor category, which also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign work; it is a $100 annual registration renewed yearly, and the city's published requirements do not list proof of insurance or a bond. 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.
RegionRichland Hills
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
What does MK stand for?
No source states what the initials mean and the company does not expand them anywhere we could find, so we do not guess. They are most likely personal initials.
Why does the Plano register show (GC) after the name?
That is the City of Plano's own annotation marking the registration category, general contractor. It is not part of the company's name. Roofers in Plano register under the general contractor category, so the tag says nothing about whether the firm roofs.
Where is the company actually based?
At 7351 Airport Fwy in Richland Hills, Tarrant County. It is on the Plano register because it takes work across the Metroplex, not because it is a Plano company. Some listings show the postal city as Fort Worth for the same address, which is a mailing convention.
How long has it been trading?
The BBB profile records a business start date of 4 September 2001 and lists Shane Blevins as principal, which puts the company past twenty years in the market.
Is MK Custom Roofing BBB accredited?
No. Its BBB profile shows the business is not BBB Accredited and that BBB does not hold enough information to issue a rating. Some third party aggregators repeat an A plus accreditation claim, which the BBB profile itself does not support.
Is the company an RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory did not return a record, so the honest position is not found via RCAT search. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence is not a mark against a contractor.
Does Texas licence roofing contractors?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence. What you can verify is general liability and workers compensation insurance, city contractor registration where the work is, and any manufacturer or voluntary trade credentials the company holds.
Why would I choose a roofer that does slate and tile?
Slate, natural tile and synthetic tile are heavier and are installed and flashed quite differently from composition shingle, and a crew that rarely touches them will often decline the job or subcontract it. If your home has one of those roofs, ask the contractor how many it has installed in the last year and to see photographs of finished work in that material.
How does hail affect these roofs in North Texas?
The Metroplex sits in the hail corridor and hail is the leading reason roofs are replaced from Fort Worth to Plano. Slate and tile behave differently from shingle under hail: individual units crack rather than lose granules, and an adjuster needs to inspect and count broken units rather than test squares.
What should I confirm before signing?
Ask for a certificate of general liability insurance sent directly by the insurance agent, confirmation of workers compensation cover or a plain statement that there is none, a written scope naming the exact material and flashing detail, the workmanship warranty in years, and which city is pulling the permit and in whose name.
