About
Rhynehart Roofing is one of the longest running roofing contractors in the Texas Panhandle. The company was founded in 1986 and operates from 6900 West McCormick Road in Amarillo, in Randall County, with Chris Rhynehart as owner. Its own site describes a reputation built over nearly four decades as Amarillo's installation specialists, backed by a long record of repeat business.
The company works on both residential and commercial buildings, new construction and existing structures, and it handles a wider range of roofing systems than most: slate, tile, wood, composition shingle, TPO and metal. Alongside roofing it does leak and repair work, re-roofs, deck repair, ridge vent installation, gutter installation, siding repair and installation, windows and doors, insurance claim work, and buyer or seller inspections.
Rhynehart Roofing is the strongest credentialed of the four on this page. RCAT lists Chris Rhynehart as holding the CRRL Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, a separately earned qualification rather than plain membership, with a commercial and residential roofing licence recorded as 03-0039. The company has been BBB Accredited since October 1995 with an A+ rating, holds a City of Amarillo roofing contractor registration, and states membership of the National Roofing Contractors Association, the Texas Panhandle Builders Association and the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce.

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 licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0039 or the company name.
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.

Rhynehart Roofing has been our roofer for 20 years. Put on original roof when we built house in 2005, after hail storm in 2013 and now 2025. Assisted when insurance adjuster showed up. Crew did an excellent job getting roof on in 1 day, did good job cleaning up. Always available to answer questions. Work with our insurance company. If you have any issues after job done they come back and fix it! Appreciate doing business with local company. Chris Rhynehart has been great to work with over the years.,

Tyler is top notch! Our insurance company denied the storm damage claim initially so Tyler recommended an independent adjuster that went to bat for us and won. An unexpected emergency issue arose early on during the roof replacement and Tyler was there at 1:00AM. Other challenges followed and he treated every challenge with patience, focus and kindness.
From previous situations, I know without a doubt that a non-local hail chasing roofer would not have been there in the challenges.
Can’t recommend Rhinehart Roofing highly enough.

Tyler Rhynehart went above and beyond when working with my insurance company to get approval for my roof to be replaced after the hail storm in August 2025. The roofers removed my wood shingles, layed new deck boards and shingled my roof in 2 days. The workers did a great job of cleaning up after the work was done and the new roof looks great!

Frequently asked
Is Rhynehart Roofing licensed?
Texas has no state roofing licence, so the phrase means something different here. Rhynehart Roofing holds two things worth checking: owner Chris Rhynehart carries RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential with the CRRL designation, and the company holds a City of Amarillo roofing contractor registration, RRCON-000282. Both are verifiable rather than self-declared.
What is the difference between RCAT Member and RCAT Licensed?
Member simply means a company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Licensed Roofing Contractor is a separate credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) earned through testing and verified experience, and comparatively few Texas contractors hold it. Rhynehart Roofing holds the Licensed credential, which is the higher of the two.
How long has Rhynehart Roofing been in business?
The company was founded in 1986. BBB records list the business start as June 1986 with incorporation in December 1998, and the company has been BBB Accredited continuously since October 1995. That is around 40 years of trading in the same market, which is unusual in a trade with high turnover.
Does Amarillo get enough hail to justify impact-resistant shingles?
Yes. The Texas Panhandle sits in one of the most hail-prone corridors in the United States, and Randall and Potter counties see damaging storms most seasons. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles carry the highest UL 2218 rating and many Texas insurers offer a premium credit for them, though the discount varies by carrier so confirm with your own insurer first.
Do I need a permit or a registered roofer in Amarillo?
Texas has no statewide building code, so this is set locally. The City of Amarillo operates a roofing contractor registration scheme, which is where Rhynehart Roofing's RRCON-000282 number comes from. Ask any Amarillo roofer for their current city registration number and confirm who is pulling the permit for your job before work starts.
Does the company work outside Texas?
Yes. Its own site states it serves Amarillo and the surrounding Panhandle plus parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico. That regional reach reflects Amarillo's position near three state lines. If your property is out of state, confirm the local registration and permit requirements for that jurisdiction separately.
What roofing systems can they install?
More than most. The company lists slate, tile, wood, composition shingle, TPO and metal, across new construction, existing structures, commercial buildings and homes. TPO and metal matter for the low-slope and agricultural buildings common around the Panhandle, where an asphalt-only contractor cannot help.
Do they handle storm insurance claims?
Yes, insurance claim work is listed among their services. Texas law does not allow a roofing contractor to act as a public adjuster or negotiate a claim on your behalf, so their role is to inspect, document damage, meet the adjuster and provide scope and pricing. The claim itself stays between you and your insurer.
Do I need a WPI-8 windstorm certificate in Amarillo?
No. WPI-8 certificates and TWIA windstorm coverage apply only to the 14 first tier Gulf Coast counties and part of Harris County. Amarillo is about as far from the coast as Texas gets. The relevant hazards here are hail, high straight-line wind and freeze-thaw cycling, not coastal windstorm.
What should I check before hiring any Panhandle roofer?
Ask for a certificate of general liability and workers' compensation insurance sent to you directly by the insurer. Ask for the City of Amarillo registration number if the work is inside the city. Get the scope in writing covering decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and debris removal, and confirm the length and terms of the workmanship warranty.
