About
Reconstruction Experts is a commercial reconstruction general contractor, not a residential retail roofing company. It works on multifamily and homeowner association properties, apartment communities, commercial buildings and hospitality properties, and its core specialism is construction defect repair and insurance restoration on occupied buildings. Roofing is one trade within that envelope work, delivered as part of a wider building repair scope rather than sold as a standalone reroof to a single homeowner. The Plano registration sits under the city's general contractor category with the city's own annotation marking roofing as the trade registered for.
The Texas registration does belong to the national firm rather than a same named local company. Reconstruction Experts, Inc. is headquartered in the Denver area, and its own offices page lists Texas offices in Dallas, Austin and Houston alongside Colorado, Florida, Arizona and California locations. BBB records the business as started on 15 February 2001 and gives it an A plus rating, though it is not BBB accredited, and third party trade listings state the firm has worked in the Dallas Fort Worth market since 2009. In December 2021 the company was acquired by the Australian listed Johns Lyng Group from Linx Partners, and it now trades within that group's United States operation.
One thing to be aware of when reading this listing. The address on the Plano register, 3030 Story Rd West in Irving, is the company's former Dallas Fort Worth office. The company's own offices page now lists its Dallas office at 4320 Marsh Ridge Rd, Suite 190 in Carrollton, and contemporaneous reporting describes a move from the Irving office affecting around twenty staff in early 2023. Local BBB records now carry a Carrollton address for the same business profile. Homeowners looking for a single family reroof in Plano should look elsewhere. Property managers, HOA boards and multifamily owners dealing with construction defect or storm loss reconstruction are the audience this contractor is actually built for.

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.
RegionIrving
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 Reconstruction Experts a residential roofing company?
No. It is a commercial reconstruction general contractor whose specialism is construction defect repair and insurance restoration on occupied buildings, working for homeowner associations, apartment and multifamily owners, commercial property owners and hospitality operators. Roofing is one trade inside a wider building envelope scope. If you are a homeowner wanting a single family reroof in Plano, this is not the contractor for that job.
Why does the Plano register list it under roofing then?
The bracketed roofing note on the Plano register is the city's own annotation recording the trade the general contractor registered for. It is not part of the company name and it does not mean the company sells retail roofing. Plano's general contractor category is broad and also covers concrete, demolition, fence, foundation, pool and sign companies, so the annotation is how the city tracks which trade a registrant works in.
Is this the same Reconstruction Experts that operates in other states?
Yes. The Texas registration belongs to the national firm, not to a same named local company. Reconstruction Experts, Inc. is headquartered in the Denver area and its own offices page lists Texas offices in Dallas, Austin and Houston alongside Colorado, Florida, Arizona and California. The BBB profile for the Irving address also references a Colorado headquarters. This listing describes the Dallas Fort Worth operation only.
Is the Irving address on this listing still the company's office?
It does not appear to be. The address on the Plano register, 3030 Story Rd West in Irving, is the former Dallas Fort Worth office. The company's own offices page now lists its Dallas office at 4320 Marsh Ridge Rd, Suite 190 in Carrollton, contemporaneous reporting describes a move from Irving in early 2023 affecting around twenty staff, and the BBB profile now carries a Carrollton address. Use the current office details rather than the register address.
Who owns the company?
Reconstruction Experts was acquired in December 2021 by Johns Lyng Group, an Australian listed building services group, from the private equity firm Linx Partners. It now operates within that group's United States business. The acquisition does not change what the Texas operation does day to day, which is defect and insurance reconstruction work in the Dallas Fort Worth, Austin and Houston markets.
What is construction defect reconstruction?
It is the repair of building faults that were built in rather than caused by weather, most often water intrusion through decks, balconies, windows, cladding or roof to wall transitions on multifamily and condominium buildings. The work usually follows an investigation and often a legal claim, so it involves destructive testing to establish what is behind the finishes, a scope and cost of repair, and then a phased rebuild carried out while residents continue to live in the building.
Does Texas licence roofing or general contractors?
No. Texas issues no state roofing licence and no general state contractor licence for this kind of work, so no contractor in Texas can be state licensed for roofing. What is real is registration with each individual city that requires it, current general liability and workers compensation insurance, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT membership or the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor designation. Those two RCAT things are distinct and not equivalent.
Is this company in the RCAT directory?
It was not found via an RCAT search. Searching the RCAT member directory for Reconstruction Experts returned no records. RCAT membership is voluntary and is most common among roofing specialists rather than general contractors who subcontract roofing within larger scopes, so absence here is unsurprising and is not a mark against the firm.
How does hail affect multifamily and HOA properties in North Texas?
The Dallas Fort Worth area sits in the North Texas hail corridor, and a single storm can damage every roof across a large apartment or condominium community at once. That turns a roofing issue into a portfolio scale insurance claim, often alongside dented gutters, damaged rooftop mechanical units and window and cladding damage. Class 4 impact resistant shingles are frequently specified on the rebuild in this region because they resist the bruising that shortens a standard shingle's life, and many carriers discount for them.
Who should an HOA board ask about before appointing a reconstruction contractor?
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance and workers compensation with the association named appropriately. Ask which office and which named project team will actually run the job, since large firms staff regionally. Ask for references from occupied buildings of similar size, because working around residents is the hardest part. Confirm who pulls permits with each city, as Texas permits building by building through the local jurisdiction. Get the warranty terms for both the manufacturer products and the workmanship in writing.
