About
Stay Dry Roofing is a residential and commercial roofing contractor whose Roofing Contractors Association of Texas record and Better Business Bureau file both carry the address 1655 FM 667, Purdon, TX 76679. That address is real. Purdon is a very small unincorporated community in rural Navarro County, and 1655 FM 667 is a farm to market road address rather than a shopfront, so the Purdon entry is best understood as the registered base of the business rather than a walk in office.
The company's public facing office is at 115 East Franklin Street in Hillsboro (Hill County), the address listed for it by the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce and by the BBB. BBB files name Larry Brown as owner and date the business to 1994, and they also show related company locations in Irving and Waxahachie. The company describes itself as covering the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex plus North, Central, East and West Texas. The addresses that can actually be verified sit in Navarro, Hill, Ellis and Dallas counties, so homeowners well outside that Hillsboro to Corsicana to metroplex band should confirm the company genuinely travels to them before booking rather than assuming statewide coverage.
Work advertised on the company's current website covers residential and commercial roof repair, replacement and new installation, flat and metal roofing, storm and hail damage restoration, roof inspections and maintenance, gutters, siding, waterproofing, exterior remodeling and insurance claim assistance. The business carries an A+ BBB rating but is not a BBB Accredited Business. It states that it is an Owens Corning certified contractor and that it installs Owens Corning insulation. We could not confirm an Owens Corning contractor credential for this company on Owens Corning's own contractor directory, so that remains stated by the company.

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 #03-0202 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.

Frequently asked
Where is Stay Dry Roofing actually based?
Its registered address on the RCAT and BBB records is 1655 FM 667 in Purdon, a small rural community in Navarro County. Its street front office is at 115 East Franklin Street in Hillsboro, in neighbouring Hill County. Ask which location will be handling your job.
Does Texas issue a state roofing licence?
No. Texas has no state level roofing licence. Anyone can legally call themselves a roofer here, which is why homeowners should check insurance, association standing and local registration instead of asking for a state licence number.
What does RCAT status actually mean?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas has two separate things. Plain membership means the company pays dues and is listed. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through testing and continuing education. They are not the same and should not be treated as equivalent.
What should I check before signing with any Texas roofer?
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance and workers compensation sent directly from the insurer, a written scope naming shingle brand, line and colour, the underlayment and the ventilation plan, the warranty terms in writing, and who pulls the permit.
Is hail really the main roofing problem in Navarro and Hill counties?
Yes. Central and North Texas sit in the corridor often called Hail Alley. Most roof replacements in this area follow a hail or wind event rather than simple old age, and insurance claims are a routine part of the process.
What are Class 4 impact resistant shingles and are they worth it?
Class 4 is the top rating in the UL 2218 steel ball impact test. On a hail prone roof they resist bruising and granule loss better than standard shingles, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your carrier what discount applies before you choose.
Do I need a permit for a reroof around Purdon or Hillsboro?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting is decided city by city and county by county. Inside Hillsboro city limits you will normally need a permit. In unincorporated Navarro County the requirements differ. Have the contractor confirm and pull whatever is required.
How do I handle a hail insurance claim properly?
Photograph the damage, report it to your carrier promptly, and keep the adjuster's report and the contractor's estimate side by side. Under Texas law a contractor may not offer to pay, waive or rebate your deductible, and you should be wary of anyone who suggests it.
Is Stay Dry Roofing BBB Accredited?
No. The BBB files for this business show an A+ rating but list it as not BBB Accredited. Those are two different things: the rating reflects BBB's own assessment, while accreditation is a paid programme with its own standards.
How long has the company been in business?
Better Business Bureau records date the business to 1994. The RCAT record shows a company establishment date of 2010 and the company's own marketing has referred to more than 25 years. Ask directly if the exact length of trading matters to you.
