About
Prime Source Construction is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor founded in 1995 by Tommy and Karen Doty. Roofing is the company's core business rather than a sideline: it brands its roofing division as Prime Source Commercial Roofing, and its own site describes new roof installation, leak repair and emergency storm damage response for commercial and industrial buildings. The company's stated goal is not to be the biggest commercial roofing contractor but to be the best, and it reports that roughly 95 percent of its work is roof recovery and repair rather than new construction.
The work is single-ply membrane led. Prime Source is a major installer of Duro-Last PVC and Carlisle TPO systems, and it specialises in recovering failed EPDM, built-up, modified bitumen and metal roofs. It also handles metal roofing and fluid-applied roof coatings, and it markets the energy performance side of those systems (ENERGY STAR rated membranes, Cool Roof Rating Council listings, and roofs that can contribute to LEED and Green Globes projects). Schools, municipalities and other public and non-profit owners are a significant part of its customer base, and it is an awarded contractor on the TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System) cooperative purchasing programme.
The company is RCAT registered under member id 767 with Tommy Doty as the RCAT contact, and it also lists membership of the National Roofing Contractors Association and the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association. Its RCAT record and this listing carry the Burleson, Johnson County address, while the current contact page gives a Grandview, Texas address on I-35W, which is also in Johnson County. Texas has no state roofing licence, so homeowners and facility managers should verify general liability and workers compensation coverage directly with the carrier before signing.

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.

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 Prime Source Construction actually do roofing, or is it a general construction firm?
Roofing is the core business. The company markets itself as Prime Source Commercial Roofing and its site is built around commercial and industrial roof installation, recovery, repair and storm damage response. It is registered with the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas and belongs to both the national and the North Texas roofing contractor associations.
Does it work on houses?
Its published material is commercial and industrial. The site describes work on commercial and industrial buildings, schools and municipal facilities, and does not advertise residential re-roofing. Homeowners should ask directly before assuming residential service is available.
Is Prime Source Construction licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and neither is any other roofer. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence. What exists instead is voluntary industry credentialing plus whatever registration your city or county requires for permits. Judge a Texas roofer on insurance, manufacturer approvals, association standing and references, not on a state licence that does not exist.
What does the RCAT Member status on this listing mean?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Prime Source Construction appears in the RCAT directory as a Member, which means the company is a dues-paying member of the association. That is a different and separate thing from RCAT's earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL). Member status alone should not be read as that credential.
What is a roof recovery, and why does the company do so much of it?
A recovery installs a new membrane over an existing roof instead of tearing everything off to the deck. On a large commercial building it can cut disposal cost and keep the building operating during the work. Prime Source reports that recovery and repair make up about 95 percent of its business, including recovery over failed EPDM, built-up, modified bitumen and metal roofs. Recovery is not always permitted, because most codes limit how many roof layers a building may carry.
What roofing systems does it install?
Primarily single-ply membranes: Duro-Last PVC and Carlisle TPO. It also lists metal roofing and fluid-applied roof coatings. Its product pages emphasise ENERGY STAR rated and Cool Roof Rating Council listed membranes, which matter on a large flat roof in the North Texas heat and can contribute toward LEED or Green Globes credits.
How does hail affect a commercial flat roof in Johnson County?
North and Central Texas sit in what the insurance industry calls Hail Alley, and Johnson County takes regular hail. On a flat commercial roof hail damage is often not visible from the ground: it shows up as bruising, fractured membrane, or crushed insulation that only leaks months later. Get a documented post-storm inspection with photographs, because insurers commonly dispute the date of loss.
Should a Texas building owner ask for impact resistant materials?
On steep-slope roofs, Class 4 impact rated shingles are the standard answer in hail country and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. On low-slope commercial roofs the equivalent conversation is membrane thickness and the cover board underneath, since a thicker membrane over a hard cover board resists hail far better than a thin membrane over bare insulation. Ask which specific assembly is being quoted.
What insurance should be verified before signing a commercial roofing contract?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly from the agent, not a copy handed over by the contractor, showing general liability and Texas workers compensation. Workers compensation matters most: Texas does not require most private employers to carry it, so if an uninsured roofer's crew member is injured on your building the exposure can land on you. Confirm the policy is active on the dates the crew will actually be on site.
How do Texas school districts and cities buy roofing work like this?
Often through a cooperative purchasing programme rather than an open bid each time. Prime Source is an awarded contractor on TIPS, The Interlocal Purchasing System, which lets member districts and public entities buy from an already competitively awarded contract. Public owners should still confirm the specific TIPS contract number and that it covers the roof system being proposed.
