About
Shield Multiservices is a roofing and home improvement contractor based in Brownsville, serving the Rio Grande Valley. The company is led by CEO Carlos Avila and has been in business since February 2022, offering new roof installation, replacement, repair and maintenance, and insurance claim assistance for shingle and metal roofs.
The company is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating. It advertises the use of drone and satellite technology for roof inspections and offers in house financing options for roofing projects. Brownsville sits in Cameron County, one of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's 14 first tier coastal counties, so wind and hurricane resistant roofing is a relevant local concern.

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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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
Does Texas require roofers to hold a state license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Homeowners should instead confirm a contractor's insurance, bonding, and standing with organizations like the Better Business Bureau.
How can I verify Shield Multiservices' insurance before hiring?
Ask for a current certificate of general liability and, if they have employees, workers' compensation insurance, and confirm the certificate directly with the insurer rather than relying on a photocopy.
What does it mean that Shield Multiservices is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor?
It means Owens Corning has recognized the company as meeting its qualification standards for installing Owens Corning shingle products, which can also affect the length of manufacturer warranty coverage available.
What does BBB Accreditation actually guarantee?
BBB accreditation is a status a business applies and pays for; it is separate from the BBB letter rating, which BBB assigns based on complaint history whether or not a business is accredited. Ask to see both.
Do I need a permit for roof work in Brownsville?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting rules are set city by city. Confirm directly with the City of Brownsville's building or permits department whether your project needs a permit.
Cameron County is on the Gulf Coast. What is a WPI-8 certificate and does it matter here?
WPI-8 is the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's inspection certificate for roofing in its 14 first-tier coastal counties, which include Cameron County. If windstorm coverage through TWIA applies to your property, ask whether the roofer can provide this certificate.
How does insurance claim assistance from a roofer work?
A roofer offering insurance claim assistance documents storm damage on your behalf as the policyholder, but is not your insurance company and is not a licensed public adjuster unless separately credentialed as one.
What should I get in writing before signing a roofing contract?
Get the full scope of work, materials and brand, total cost, payment schedule, start and completion estimate, and both the manufacturer material warranty and the contractor's workmanship warranty in writing.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
A residential re-roof commonly takes one to a few days depending on roof size, material, and weather, though storm-damaged or large commercial jobs can take longer.
What financing options does Shield Multiservices offer?
The company's own site advertises roofing finance options for qualifying homeowners; ask them directly for current terms, rates, and eligibility since these change over time.
