About
Risner Roofing is an Austin roofing and siding contractor, not a San Antonio one. Its Texas base is 9701 Brown Ln, Suite B206, in northeast Austin (Travis County, 78754), and the registration phone (512) 210-1122 matches the number on the company's BBB record. BBB lists the business as started 6/26/2009 and incorporated as Risner Roofing, LLC on 6/1/2020, with Cody Risner as owner and operator. BBB has accredited the company since 6/29/2021 and rates it A+.
The work is roofing plus the rest of the building envelope. The company's own pages describe residential and commercial roof replacement, repair and maintenance, metal roof installation, tile roofs, flat and low-slope systems, seamless gutters and gutter guards, siding replacement and repair including James Hardie fiber cement, soffit and fascia, and storm restoration with insurance claim assistance. Its published Texas service list runs Austin, Bee Cave, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Lakeway, Leander, Round Rock, Tarrytown and The Hills, plus a separate Houston office at 16261 Hollister St, Suite 305C. There is also a Miami, Florida office, which explains the FRSA membership badge on the site.
Central Texas is a hail market more than a wind market. Travis, Williamson and Hays County homeowners deal with spring hail and the insurance claims that follow, which is why impact-rated Class 4 shingles and documented pre-claim inspections come up so often on replacements along the I-35 corridor. Risner also appears on the City of San Antonio home improvement contractor register, so it is set up to pull permits in Bexar County as well as around Austin, though San Antonio is not on its published service list.

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
This company is registered with San Antonio. Where is it actually based?
Austin. The company's Texas office is at 9701 Brown Ln, Suite B206, Austin 78754, in Travis County, and its BBB file is with BBB serving Central Texas in Austin. The San Antonio registration means it is set up to pull home improvement permits in Bexar County, but its published service list is the Austin metro plus a separate Houston office.
Does Texas issue a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no state roofing license and no state roofing board, so no Texas roofer is state-licensed. The real checks are current general liability and workers compensation insurance, city or county contractor registration where required, and voluntary credentials such as BBB accreditation, manufacturer certification or RCAT status.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT membership means a company pays dues to the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. They are not equivalent and a company can hold one without the other.
Is Risner Roofing in the RCAT directory?
We searched the RCAT member directory for Risner and it returned no record, so the honest answer is not found via RCAT search. RCAT is a voluntary trade association and plenty of established Austin roofers never join, so this is not a mark against the company.
How bad is hail in the Austin area, and what does it mean for my roof?
Central Texas sits in an active hail corridor and spring storms drive most roof replacements in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties. Hail damage on asphalt shingles often looks like bruising or a fractured mat rather than a hole, so a photo-documented inspection before you file a claim is what protects you if the adjuster and the contractor disagree on scope.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth the upgrade in Austin?
Usually yes in a hail market. Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test, and many Texas homeowner insurers give a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Call your carrier for the exact discount before you decide, because it varies by insurer and can change the payback math.
Who pulls the permit for a reroof in Austin?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so it is city by city. A reroof inside Austin city limits goes through Austin Development Services, and suburbs such as Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander and Lakeway each run their own process. Get in writing which party is pulling the permit before work starts.
How do I verify this contractor's insurance?
Ask for a certificate of insurance emailed to you directly by the insurance agent, and confirm both general liability and workers compensation are active on your scheduled work dates. Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers compensation, so never assume it is in place.
The company lists both roofing and siding. Is that a plus or a warning sign?
It is normal for storm restoration work, where hail commonly damages the roof, gutters, soffit, fascia and siding on the same elevation, and having one contractor handle all of it simplifies the claim. Just make sure each trade is priced as its own line item in the contract so you can see what you are paying for.
Can my roofer negotiate my insurance claim for me?
No. Texas Insurance Code Chapter 4102 bars a roofing contractor from acting as a public insurance adjuster on a property it is also contracted to repair. The contractor can document damage, meet your adjuster on site and explain the scope of work, but anyone offering to negotiate the claim on your behalf is crossing a line.
