About
Southern Roofing Systems is a residential and commercial roofing contractor based at 2701 Southridge Dr in Edinburg, Texas, owned by Marc Cortez. Its BBB profile records the business start date as 9/2/2010, meaning it has operated under this name for around 15 years, and it is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.
No independently verifiable company website was found (a 'southernroofingsystems.trustab.org' domain surfaced in search results but was not confirmed as the company's own site), so its full range of services and materials could not be independently verified beyond its BBB roofing-contractor category.
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.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Not checked for EdinburgTexas has no state roofing licence, and city rules differ: some require contractor registration, some run a voluntary registry, some neither. Ask this company and your local permit office.
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Southern Roofing Systems licensed by the State of Texas?
No. Texas does not issue a statewide roofing license, so there is no state license number to check. Homeowners should instead confirm current general liability insurance directly with the company.
Is Southern Roofing Systems a BBB Accredited Business?
Yes. Its BBB profile states that SRS Southern Roofing Systems, LLC is a BBB Accredited Business and carries an A+ letter rating.
What is RCAT, and is Southern Roofing Systems a member?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) has a plain dues-paying Membership tier and a separate, harder-earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL/RRL/CRL). A search of the RCAT directory did not return a listing for Southern Roofing Systems, which means no match was found, not that the company is disqualified. Ask the company directly about any RCAT status.
Does Southern Roofing Systems use impact-resistant Class 4 shingles?
This could not be confirmed from a source we verified. Ask the company directly which shingle products they install and whether Class 4 impact-resistant options are available.
Is hail or hurricane wind the bigger roofing risk in Edinburg?
Hidalgo County is inland, outside the Gulf Coast windstorm (WPI-8) zone, so hail is the dominant roofing risk here. Ask about impact-resistant shingle options and how the company documents hail damage for an insurance claim.
Does Southern Roofing Systems help with homeowners insurance claims for storm damage?
This could not be confirmed from a source we verified. Ask the company directly about their process for insurance adjuster visits and paperwork.
What roofing materials does Southern Roofing Systems work with?
A specific materials list was not found. Ask the company directly whether they install asphalt shingle, metal, tile, or flat roofing.
What areas does Southern Roofing Systems serve?
The company is based in Edinburg; confirm whether your specific address is covered directly with the company.
Since Texas has no statewide building code, who inspects a new roof in Edinburg?
Permitting and inspection are handled by the City of Edinburg or Hidalgo County, not a state agency. Ask your contractor whether a permit is required for your project.
What should I ask before signing a contract with Southern Roofing Systems?
Get the scope of work and total price in writing, ask for a current certificate of insurance, confirm the workmanship warranty length separate from any manufacturer material warranty, and avoid paying the full price before work begins.
