About
Texana Roofing, LLC is a small owner run roofing contractor based in Lytle, Texas, southwest of San Antonio, and registered on the City of San Antonio Contractor Connect list. Its BBB profile names David R. Villarreal Sr. as owner, gives an incorporation date of July 15, 2015, and lists the company as BBB accredited with an A+ rating since April 23, 2019. The published number is (210) 445-6980.
The company has no website. What is documented comes from its BBB profile and a Facebook page. BBB describes the core work as re roofing homes and handling insurance claims, and lists metal roofing, commercial roofing, flat roofing, shingles, gutters and downspouts, together with carports, decks, room additions, tile and painting. BBB records posted hours of Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, closed Sunday, and a stated service radius of roughly 75 miles around Lytle.
Lytle sits well inland, so windstorm certification is not relevant. The roofing story in this part of South Texas is hail, long hot summers and heavy UV load, which shortens asphalt shingle life and hardens flashing sealants and pipe boots. For a rural service area, a contractor who genuinely covers the surrounding small towns rather than only advertising them is worth confirming by asking for recent job addresses near you.

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 license roofing contractors?
No. There is no state roofing license in Texas, so nobody working in Lytle or Atascosa County can be state licensed for roofing. The checks that mean something are current general liability and workers compensation insurance, city registration where the work is done, BBB standing, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT membership or a manufacturer certification.
Is Texana Roofing an RCAT member?
No RCAT record was found for this company when the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory was searched. RCAT membership is voluntary and most companies on city contractor registers are not members, so this is neither unusual nor a negative. It simply is not a credential available to verify here.
What does RCAT Member mean compared with RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Member means the company pays association dues. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned separately through RCAT's testing and continuing education. The two are not equivalent, and a company can hold one without the other, so ask which it is.
Does a roof near Lytle need WPI-8 windstorm certification?
No. WPI-8 applies to the 14 first tier Gulf Coast counties served by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Lytle and the counties around it are inland and outside that program, so windstorm certification paperwork is not part of a normal roof replacement here.
What wears out roofs in this part of South Texas?
Hail is the main cause of sudden loss and the main driver of insurance claims. Day to day, it is heat and ultraviolet exposure. Long hot summers accelerate granule loss on asphalt shingles, embrittle pipe boot rubber, and dry out sealant at flashings and penetrations, which is where most slow leaks eventually start.
Should I upgrade to impact resistant Class 4 shingles?
It is worth pricing. Class 4 is the highest UL 2218 impact rating and holds up far better against hail than a standard shingle. Many Texas insurers offer a premium credit for a Class 4 roof. Ask your carrier what the annual credit is in dollars before you decide, then weigh it against the upgrade cost.
Who handles permits for a roof replacement in a small Texas town?
Texas has no statewide building code, so it depends entirely on the jurisdiction. City limits, an extraterritorial jurisdiction and unincorporated county land can all have different rules, and requirements in Lytle, Atascosa County, Medina County and Bexar County are not identical. Ask your contractor which authority the job falls under and who pulls the permit.
How far will a rural roofer really travel?
Ask, and ask for proof. A stated radius is a marketing number. Request two or three recent job locations within ten or fifteen miles of your address, and check whether the crew that shows up is the company's own or a subcontracted one, because travel distance often decides that.
What should be in a Texas roofing contract before I sign?
A written scope covering tear off, decking repair, underlayment type, ventilation and all flashing work. A clear price with what triggers a change order. Both warranties stated separately: the manufacturer's material warranty and the contractor's workmanship warranty with its length. And a certificate of insurance sent to you by the insurer, not a copy handed over by the contractor.
A roofer offered to cover my deductible. Is that allowed?
No. In Texas it is illegal for a contractor to waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible, and offering it is a serious red flag about how the rest of the job will be handled. Pay your deductible and keep the paper trail clean.
