About
SEI Roofing works out of Suite 200 at 2530 Tarpley Rd in Carrollton, a multi tenant flex and showroom building in southern Carrollton (Dallas County) that also houses several unrelated businesses in other suites. The phone on the City of Plano registered general contractors list, (972) 416-0844, is the same number the company publishes on its own website and on its BBB and Yelp profiles, so the registration and the company match. Plano registers roofers under its general contractor category, and this company is a roofer: roofing is the first service on its site and its BBB file is categorized under roofing contractors, metal roofing contractors and commercial roofing alongside general contracting.
The company states it has been in business since 1997 and describes itself as a full exterior contractor rather than a roofing only shop. Alongside roof repair, replacement and inspections it sells window replacement, siding, gutters, fencing, patios and interior and exterior painting. It says it assigns a project manager to every job and positions itself as an insurance claim specialist, which is the normal shape of a North Texas exterior business given how much of the local work arrives as a hail claim.
SEI Roofing is BBB Accredited with an A plus rating, accredited since November 2011, and the BBB file names Thomas M. Schilling as managing member and Marc Schilling as president. The company states it is a certified installer for GAF and CertainTeed roof systems, and it has its own listing in the GAF residential contractor locator. Verify current insurance and current manufacturer standing with the company directly before signing anything.

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.
RegionCarrollton
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 SEI Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
No, and neither is any other roofer. Texas issues no state roofing license. What exists instead is city and county registration, manufacturer certification, association credentials and insurance. SEI Roofing appears on the City of Plano registered general contractors list, and it is BBB Accredited with an A plus rating.
Where is SEI Roofing actually based?
Suite 200 at 2530 Tarpley Rd in Carrollton, Texas 75006, which is in Dallas County. It is a commercial flex and showroom building, not a home or a mailbox service. The company is registered with Plano but it operates from Carrollton.
Is SEI Roofing an RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory returned no record for SEI Roofing. That is not the same as saying the company is not a member, only that it was not found via RCAT search. Ask the company directly if RCAT standing matters to you.
What is the difference between an RCAT member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
They are two different things. An RCAT member pays dues to belong to the association. The RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and experience requirements. A company can be one without being the other, so ask which one a contractor means.
Why does a Carrollton roofer register with the City of Plano?
North Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and contractor registration are handled city by city. A contractor that wants to pull permits in Plano registers with Plano regardless of where its office is. Many DFW roofers hold registrations in a dozen or more cities.
Does SEI Roofing do more than roofs?
Yes. The company lists window replacement, siding, gutters, fencing, patios and interior and exterior painting alongside roof repair, replacement and inspections. Its BBB file carries categories for general contracting, painting, fencing, flooring and windows as well as roofing.
How should I handle a hail claim in Carrollton or Plano?
Document the damage with dated photos, report it to your carrier yourself and let the adjuster inspect. A contractor can meet the adjuster on site and can help you read the scope, but the claim is between you and your insurer. Be wary of anyone who offers to absorb or waive your deductible, which is not legal in Texas.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it here?
North Texas sits in the corridor sometimes called Hail Alley, so it is worth asking about. Class 4 impact rated shingles are tested to resist hail strikes better than standard shingles, and many Texas carriers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your insurer to confirm the discount in writing before you pay the upgrade.
What should I ask before signing with any roofer?
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance and workers compensation naming you or your address, ask whether the crew is in house or subcontracted, ask what the workmanship warranty covers and for how long, ask for the manufacturer warranty tier in writing, and ask that the contract state the exact shingle line and color.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Carrollton or Plano?
Usually yes for a full replacement, and the contractor normally pulls it. Because Texas has no statewide building code, requirements and fees differ between Carrollton, Plano and Dallas. Confirm which city has jurisdiction over your address and that the permit is pulled under the contractor's own registration, not yours.
