About
Roof Time General Contractors is a Waxahachie roofing and general contracting company working out of 919 Ovilla Rd in Ellis County. The company markets itself as "Honest, Reliable Roofers since 2005" and covers Waxahachie and the surrounding Ellis County towns along with a wide stretch of the southern DFW Metroplex. Its work splits across residential, multi-family and commercial roofing, and it also fits and replaces rain gutters.
On the residential side the company handles full replacements and repairs in shingle and metal, and on the commercial side it lists shingle, metal, built-up and TPO systems. Because Waxahachie sits in North Texas hail country, a large share of the company's work is storm related: hail and wind damage assessment, skylight and gutter repair, and free inspections and estimates. The company states on its site that it has completed more than 4,300 projects and that its team carries over 25 years of combined experience.
Roof Time is listed in the GAF contractor directory as a GAF Certified contractor, which allows it to offer the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying roof systems. The company also states membership in the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT), the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA), and the Waxahachie and Ennis chambers of commerce, and describes its roofers as Master Shingle Applicators. It has a Better Business Bureau profile under the name Roof Time Contractors, Inc. with an A+ rating, though it is not a BBB Accredited Business.

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 #03-0198 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.

This was our second time using Roof Time to replace our roof and we will continue to use them in the future if necessary. Scott was very detailed, informative and explained the process clearly along the way. The other team members at install were great as well and they left things extremely clean. We appreciate Scott and the team for making this a stress free experience and would recommend them at the drop of a hat !! I appreciated their honest approach the most and they continue to have our trust !! What a breath of fresh air !!

We would recommend Roof Time General Contractors for your gutter project. They gave me an accurate estimate that fit my budget and did a great job. The crew was polite and neat, cleaning up and worked with me on determining downspout locations. I am very happy with the outcome!

Frequently asked
Is Roof Time General Contractors licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and neither is any other Texas roofer. Texas does not issue a state roofing licence. What you can check instead is current general liability and workers' compensation insurance, membership in the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT), and whether the City of Waxahachie or your own municipality requires a contractor registration for roofing permits.
What does the company's RCAT status actually mean?
RCAT is a voluntary trade association. Paying dues makes a company a Member. Separately, RCAT runs an earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL and CRL) that requires testing and continuing education. The two are not the same thing, so ask which one a contractor holds and for the specific designation letters.
Which areas does Roof Time cover?
Its own site lists Waxahachie, Ennis, Italy, Palmer, Ferris, Red Oak, Midlothian, Glenn Heights, Mexia and Mansfield, plus a broad sweep of the DFW Metroplex including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, Richardson, Plano and Colleyville.
Does hail really matter this much in Ellis County?
Yes. Waxahachie sits inside the North and Central Texas hail corridor, and hail is the single most common cause of roof claims in the region. A severe storm can bruise mats and fracture granule surfaces without producing an obvious leak, which is why a post-storm inspection is worth doing even when the ceiling looks dry.
Should I ask about impact-resistant shingles?
In a hail-prone county it is worth asking. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are rated under UL 2218 or FM 4473 steep-slope impact testing, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask the contractor for the specific product and its impact rating, then confirm the discount with your own carrier before you commit.
What is a GAF Certified contractor?
GAF runs tiered factory certifications for roofers. Roof Time appears in GAF's own contractor directory at the Certified level, which lets it offer the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying roof systems. Higher tiers such as Certified Plus and Master Elite unlock stronger warranty options. You can look up any contractor directly on gaf.com to confirm the tier.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement here?
Texas has no statewide building code administered at state level, so permitting is set city by city and county by county. Waxahachie, Ennis, Midlothian and the various DFW municipalities each run their own permit and inspection rules. Ask the contractor to confirm who pulls the permit and to give you the inspection sign-off when the job closes.
Does the company handle insurance claims?
The company works on hail and wind storm damage and offers free inspections. In Texas a roofer may document damage and meet your adjuster, but under state law a roofing contractor cannot act as your public insurance adjuster on the same job. If anyone offers to negotiate the claim for you as your adjuster, that is a red flag.
Does Roof Time do flat and commercial roofs?
Yes. Its commercial page lists shingle, metal, built-up and TPO systems, and it also takes on multi-family work. Flat and low-slope roofs are a different discipline from steep-slope shingle work, so ask for references on the specific membrane you need.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract in Texas?
Ask for current certificates of insurance sent directly from the insurer, a written scope naming the exact shingle line and underlayment, who pulls the permit, the workmanship warranty length in writing, and the manufacturer warranty tier the contractor is certified to offer. Avoid paying a large deposit up front, and never let a contractor offer to absorb or waive your insurance deductible, which is a criminal offence in Texas.
