About
Power Roofing & Construction is a roofing contractor registered at 1151 Southview Dr in Waxahachie, in Ellis County, south of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The Better Business Bureau lists the business at that same address under the shorter name Power Roofing, with the same telephone number, and categorises it as a roofing contractor. The BBB file was opened on 18 May 2020.
Beyond that registration footprint the company keeps very little public presence. We found no company website, no Google Business Profile, no Yelp or social profile and no manufacturer contractor-locator listing. BBB shows the business as Not Rated, stating that it has not received a response from the business and has not been able to verify the information it holds. That is a gap in published information rather than a finding against the company.
Homeowners considering this contractor should therefore do the verification directly. Ask for a current certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance sent from the agent, confirm its registration with the city where the work will be done, and get the full scope and warranty in writing before any money changes hands.

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.

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.
RegionWaxahachie
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.
Is Power Roofing & Construction licensed by the State of Texas?
No Texas roofer is. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so there is no state credential to check and nobody can hold one. Verification in Texas rests on current insurance, city registration where required, and any voluntary association or manufacturer credentials the company has earned.
Is the company listed with RCAT?
A search of the RCAT member directory did not return this company, so we found nothing via RCAT search. RCAT membership is voluntary and its absence says nothing about the quality of the work. It simply means the company has not joined, or has not joined under a name our search matched.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Member means the company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, written as CRRL, RRL or CRL, is earned separately and requires meeting experience and testing standards. The two are not interchangeable, so read any claim precisely.
Why is there so little information about this company online?
It has no website, no Google Business Profile and no social profiles that we could find. Its BBB record is a bare file with a Not Rated status because BBB says it has not had a response from the business. Small owner-run roofing companies that get their work through referrals often have no web presence at all, so the absence is common. It does mean you have to do more of the checking yourself.
What does BBB Not Rated mean here?
It means BBB does not have enough verified information to assign a letter grade, and it says it has not received a response from the business. It is not a bad grade. It is the absence of one.
Where is the company based?
Its registered address is 1151 Southview Dr in Waxahachie, Ellis County. It also holds a City of Plano contractor registration, which is what put it on this list, so it works in Collin County as well as Ellis. Ask directly which parts of the metroplex it currently covers.
How do I check a roofer's insurance properly?
Ask for the insurance agent's name and phone number, then ask the agent to send the certificate of insurance directly to you. A certificate handed over by the contractor can be out of date or edited. You want current general liability cover and workers compensation. If a roofer carries no workers compensation, an injury on your roof can end up as a claim against your homeowner policy.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Texas?
Usually yes, and the rules are set by each city because Texas has no statewide code enforcement. Most cities in the DFW area require a roofing permit and require the contractor to be registered with that city before issuing one. The contractor should pull it. Be wary of any suggestion that you pull the permit yourself.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth it in Ellis County?
They often are. Ellis County sits inside the North and Central Texas hail corridor, and Class 4 shingles carry the top rating in the UL 2218 impact test. Many Texas insurers give a premium credit for a Class 4 roof. Ask your carrier what the credit is before you decide, because it varies widely between insurers.
What should I ask for in writing before signing?
A line item scope naming the shingle manufacturer, product line and colour, the underlayment, the flashing and ventilation work, the deck replacement rate per sheet, and who handles debris and nail sweeping. Ask for the workmanship warranty term in writing, ask who honours it if the company closes, and ask for the manufacturer warranty to be registered in your name. Do not pay in full before the city inspection passes.
