About
Tell Construction and Projects, which trades publicly as Tell Projects, is a Houston general contractor rather than a roofing specialist. Its BBB profile classifies it under Remodeling, and its own website leads with kitchen and bathroom remodelling, home renovations, room additions, flooring, painting, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Roofing appears twelfth in a list of roughly twenty six service lines, given the same weight as electrical or plumbing rather than headline billing. The company also markets a multifamily and commercial renovation arm covering apartment turns, retail build outs and shopping centre work.
That said, roofing is a genuine service line and not a keyword. The RCAT directory record for Tell Construction and Projects LLC carries a Commercial and Residential Roofing License numbered 03-0675 held by the company's principal, who is shown with the CRRL post nominal. CRRL is RCAT's separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, not plain membership, so the roofing qualification behind the listing is real. The company also runs a dedicated roofing subdomain describing shingle, metal, tile, TPO and modified bitumen work, storm damage restoration and roof inspections, including flat and TPO systems for commercial and multifamily buildings.
Homeowners should read the company for what it is. If you want a single contractor to handle a whole property renovation that happens to include the roof, this is that kind of firm. If you want a dedicated roofing crew with manufacturer certification, no GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed credential could be verified for this company at any manufacturer's own contractor directory. The website also carries conflicting founding claims (2008 on the main site, 2009 on the roofing subdomain), while both the BBB and RCAT records put the business start in May 2016.

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 #03-0675 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.

We recently completed a full kitchen design and remodel with this company, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
From the initial design phase through to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to detail. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, offered creative solutions and practical advice, and helped us create a kitchen that is both beautiful and highly functional.
Communication throughout the project was excellent. We were kept informed at every stage, timelines were clearly explained, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly.
What impressed us most was the team’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. They cared about delivering a great result and went above and beyond to ensure everything was completed to a high standard.
We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a kitchen renovation or remodeling project. A fantastic company to work with from start to finish.
Special mention to Adrianna, Zach and Maikel

Tell Projects completely transformed our home. The kitchen went from dull to dreamy, the new flooring ties everything together, and our bedroom finally feels like a relaxing retreat. Even the driveway looks so good that neighbors keep asking who did the work. The crew was respectful, fast, and super detail-oriented. It honestly feels like we moved into a new house.

recently hired Tell Projects for a full kitchen remodel and the results were incredible. From the first consultation to the final touches, their team was professional, organized, and very detail-oriented. They helped us choose better materials for our cabinets and countertops and made sure everything matched perfectly. The crew arrived on time every day and kept the workspace clean. Our kitchen now looks modern, functional, and beautiful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a home renovation.

Frequently asked
Is Tell Projects actually a roofing company?
It is a general contractor that includes roofing among its service lines, not a roofing specialist. Its BBB profile lists only Remodeling as the business category, and roofing sits twelfth in a list of roughly twenty six services on its own site. The roofing work is real, and the principal holds RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, but the firm's centre of gravity is renovation and general construction.
What does the RCAT Licensed status on this record mean?
RCAT has two separate things. Plain membership means a company pays dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned by examination. The RCAT record for Tell Construction and Projects LLC shows a Commercial and Residential Roofing License numbered 03-0675 held by the principal with the CRRL post nominal, which is the earned credential rather than dues membership.
Is any roofing contractor licensed by the State of Texas?
No. Texas issues no state roofing licence. Anyone advertising a Texas state roofing licence is describing something that does not exist. Verify insurance certificates sent directly by the insurer, check RCAT standing on the RCAT directory, check any manufacturer certification on the manufacturer's own site, and confirm City of Houston registration or permitting where the job requires it.
Does the company hold GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed certification?
The roofing pages mention working with materials from those brands, but no listing for this company could be found on GAF's, Owens Corning's or CertainTeed's own contractor directories. Naming a brand as a material supplier is not the same as being certified by that manufacturer. If a manufacturer backed warranty matters to you, ask for the certification number and look it up on the manufacturer's own locator before signing.
How old is the company really?
The BBB profile records the business as starting on 5 May 2016 and the RCAT record shows 6 May 2016. The company's main website claims twenty plus years and a 2008 start, while its roofing subdomain says 2009 and fifteen plus years. Those claims conflict with each other and with both independent records, so treat the 2016 date as the reliable one and the experience claims as unverified.
Which phone number is current?
Three different numbers appear across sources. The company's own contact page and its BBB profile both show (832) 591-7991, which is the best supported. The homepage and roofing pages show (832) 203-7987, and the RCAT record shows (832) 219-9287. Confirm the number before relying on any single listing.
Do I need a windstorm certificate for a Houston roof?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certification and TWIA coverage apply only to the fourteen first tier counties on the Texas Gulf Coast. Harris County is not one of them, so an inland Houston reroof does not need a WPI-8 inspection. If any contractor quotes windstorm certification for a Houston address, ask why.
Who pulls the permit for roofing or renovation work in Houston?
Texas has no statewide residential building code enforcement, so it is a City of Houston matter inside city limits and a Harris County matter outside them. The company states that it handles permit applications and code compliance. Get that in writing in the contract, including who schedules inspections and who is responsible if work fails one.
What is TPO and when would a roof need it?
TPO is a single ply thermoplastic membrane used on flat and low slope roofs, with heat welded seams. It is standard on commercial buildings, apartment blocks and retail units rather than pitched houses. White TPO reflects a large share of solar heat, which is a real operating cost consideration on a flat roofed building in Houston. The company's multifamily and commercial arm lists TPO, metal and modified bitumen systems.
What should I ask a general contractor before letting them do my roof?
Ask whether the roof will be installed by their own crew or subcontracted, and who carries the workmanship warranty if it is subcontracted. Ask for the insurer to send the certificate of insurance directly. Ask for the exact shingle or membrane product, underlayment, flashing and ventilation scope in writing. And ask what happens to the roofing warranty if the wider renovation contract is disputed, since bundling the roof into a larger job can complicate a later claim.
