About
Sun Commercial Roofs is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor in Dallas. This is not a residential company. Its published work is office complexes, warehouses, manufacturing plants, resorts and refrigerated facilities, and its own site describes it as a full service commercial and industrial roofing company. Homeowners looking for a shingle roof on a house should look elsewhere. The suncoroofs.com domain is the company's own, confirmed by the RCAT directory entry for Sun Commercial Roofs, Inc. of Dallas and by the matching phone number (214) 350-7770 on the site, the BBB profile and the Yelp listing.
The company's history page states it was founded in 1988 by Steve Webster with his wife Barbara Webster, that Barbara led the business after Steve's death in 2013, and that the current ownership group bought the company from her in 2021. The site notes that Steve Webster served as president of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. The BBB profile lists Richard Bass as President, Terry Marquis as COO and Kim Waller as CFO, and records the current entity as starting on 18 March 2019, which reflects an entity filing rather than the 1988 brand history.
Work covers emergency response, roof repairs, a preventive maintenance programme the company brands RAYS, re roofing and replacement, protective coatings, sheet metal and new construction, across TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen and metal systems. A clear specialism is cold storage and refrigerated buildings, where the company cites membership of the Global Cold Chain Alliance and names food and logistics clients including Tyson Foods, Pilgrim's Pride, Sysco, Kroger, Ben E. Keith, Americold and Taylor Farms. On safety, the company states it employs a dedicated safety director, that field foremen hold OSHA 30 hour certification and field personnel hold OSHA 10 hour, with weekly job site inspections and toolbox talks. Sun Commercial Roofs Inc appears in GAF's own commercial contractor directory for Dallas, and the company displays manufacturer branding for GAF, Carlisle, Johns Manville, Firestone, Sika, Berridge, PAC-CLAD, McElroy Metal and Fiberlite on its manufacturers page.

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 #03-0385 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.

I used this company for 3-4 years for maintenance. They have gone so far downhill that I will not use them again. This company given me an attitude (Esmerelda specifically) and then they changed my representative but did not bother to tell me. They stopped responding quickly when the found out they didn't get a job they bid because they were literally twice what my current company bid. The first time I spoke with Richard, the owner, he was so passionate but the passion is gone. At least that is how it appears to me. I am writing this so that they understand that changes need to be made. Good luck!!!!!!!

Our company purchased a commercial building that was built more than 60 years ago. We have been experiencing roof leaks since we purchased the building. We've had paid multiple roof repair companies to come to repair the leaks. Sun Commercial Roofs came out in 2021, found the problems and repaired them. In 2022, we have a new leak in a different spot and we went straight to Sun Commercial Roofs to get the job done right.

Frequently asked
Does this company do residential roofs?
No. Sun Commercial Roofs presents itself as a commercial and industrial roofing company and its published services, project list and client names are all commercial. If you need a shingle roof on a house, this is not the contractor to call.
Is a Texas roofing contractor licensed by the state?
No. Texas has no state roofing licence, so no roofer in Texas is state licensed for roofing. For commercial work the meaningful checks are general liability and workers compensation certificates sent directly from the insurer, manufacturer approvals for the specific system being installed, safety record, and any city or county registration your project requires.
What is the difference between RCAT membership and an RCAT licence?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas offers plain membership, which means paying dues and belonging to the association, and a separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) that requires meeting testing and experience requirements. They are not interchangeable. Look at the company's RCAT directory entry to see exactly what is recorded.
Why does the manufacturer approval matter more than a general certification claim?
On a low slope commercial roof, the long term system warranty comes from the membrane manufacturer, and manufacturers only issue their better warranties to contractors they have approved and whose work they inspect. Ask which manufacturer will issue the warranty, at what term and coverage level, and whether the contractor is currently in good standing in that manufacturer's own programme.
TPO, PVC, EPDM or modified bitumen. Which is right for a Texas building?
It depends on the building. TPO and PVC are white reflective single plies that cut cooling load, which matters in Dallas heat, and PVC also resists grease and chemicals so it suits restaurants and processing plants. EPDM is a durable black rubber membrane. Modified bitumen is a multi ply asphalt system that is forgiving on complicated roofs. A good contractor will justify the choice against your building's use, deck, insulation and drainage rather than defaulting to one product.
What makes cold storage roofing different?
Refrigerated and freezer buildings push vapour drive in the opposite direction to a normal building, so the vapour retarder, insulation thickness and detailing have to be designed for that. Get it wrong and you trap moisture, ice the deck and lose thermal performance. It is a specialist discipline and it is fair to ask a contractor for cold storage references specifically.
How much damage does hail do to flat commercial roofs in North Texas?
A great deal. Dallas Fort Worth sits in Hail Alley and commercial membranes bruise, split and puncture under hail even when the damage is not visible from the ground. Post storm inspections with core cuts and infrared or moisture scanning are the way to find wet insulation before it rots the deck. Document the storm date and get the roof surveyed promptly.
Is a preventive maintenance programme worth paying for?
On a commercial roof, usually yes. Scheduled inspections, drain clearing and small repairs catch leaks before insulation gets wet, and most manufacturer warranties require documented maintenance to stay valid. It is far cheaper than a premature tear off. Ask what the programme includes, how often the roof is walked, and what documentation you receive.
Do commercial reroofs need permits in Dallas?
Texas has no statewide building code enforcement, so permitting is set city by city. The City of Dallas requires permits for reroofing, and surrounding metroplex cities each have their own requirements, fees and inspection steps. Confirm who is pulling the permit and make sure the final inspection is signed off before the last payment.
What should a facility manager ask before awarding a commercial roofing contract?
Ask for insurance certificates from the insurer, the manufacturer warranty term and exactly what it covers, the safety record and OSHA training levels of the crew, whether crews are employees or subcontractors, the tear off and disposal plan, how the building stays weather tight overnight and during storms, and references on buildings similar to yours.
