About
Texas Engineered Roofing works out of 33300 Lois Ln, Ste. 1 in The Woodlands and covers Montgomery County plus the northern Houston suburbs. Its BBB profile records the business as starting on 2 January 2014, accredited since 30 January 2014, and currently rated A+. The company publishes weekday hours of 8am to 5pm with Saturday and Sunday by appointment, and lists a direct owner email on its contact page.
The name deserves a plain explanation, because "Engineered" in a roofing company name normally means nothing at all. In this case the company's own About page names the owner as Brad Briggs, PE, CRRL, states he earned a civil engineering degree at Texas A&M in 2003 and a professional engineer's licence in 2009, and says the firm is registered with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers to offer professional engineering to the public in Texas. Those are the company's own published statements. Anyone hiring specifically for engineering input, rather than roofing, should ask for the current PE registration numbers in writing and confirm them against the state board before relying on them. A roof replacement itself does not require a PE.
GAF lists the company in its own contractor directory as a GAF Certified roofer, which is the entry tier of GAF's programme rather than Master Elite. The CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster and Mule-Hide credentials shown on the company's website are stated by the company and were not confirmed on the manufacturers' own directories during this check. Work quoted here covers residential and commercial roofing, repairs, maintenance plans, storm and insurance claim work, gutters, siding, painting, patios and porch additions. Materials handled include asphalt shingles, standing seam and other metal, concrete and clay tile, and single ply commercial membranes.
One local point matters more here than in most Texas towns. The Woodlands is a township, not an incorporated city, so there is no city building department issuing roofing permits, and Montgomery County does not inspect single-family roofing work. There is no municipal inspector checking the job behind the crew, and Texas has no state roofing licence either. That places the whole weight of verification on the homeowner. Ask for a current certificate of insurance naming general liability and workers compensation, sent directly from the insurance agent rather than forwarded by the salesperson, and read the manufacturer warranty terms before signing.

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.

City/county registration
No government registration in The WoodlandsThe Woodlands is a township, not a city, and Montgomery County does not enforce building codes on single family homes. Deed restrictions still apply, so check with The Woodlands Township before work starts. No city or county body registers roofers or inspects this work here, so a contractor's insurance and RCAT standing carry more weight than usual. Ask to see both.
Confirm this licence yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search — search #03-0326 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.

Texas Engineered Roofing is quite possibly the best contractor we've worked with of any type. We've used them on multiple properties, and each job was flawless — they consistently went above and beyond what you might expect. Matt is incredible and was engaged from start to finish. The rest of their company leadership were also involved at various points in the process. We can't recommend them highly enough to anyone who needs a roof replacement.

A few weeks ago, Texas Engineered Roofing put on our new roof. The main roof was installed in one day and it looks beautiful. They also did some carpentry as needed, put up new gutters, added more attic ventilation, and all new drip edge. They also handled all the insurance problems we had. Of course we had to pay for the extras. Great job, we are very pleased.

Frequently asked
Does the word "Engineered" in this company's name mean a licensed engineer designs my roof?
Not automatically, and you should never assume it. Any Texas company can put "Engineered" in its name. In this case the company itself publishes that its owner holds a professional engineer licence and that the firm is registered with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. If engineering work is actually part of what you are buying, ask for the individual PE number and the firm registration number in writing and check them on the state board's public roster. A normal shingle replacement does not need a PE.
Is this company licensed by the State of Texas?
No, because no such licence exists. Texas does not license roofing contractors at state level. There is no state roofing board, no state exam, and no state licence number to look up. Any Texas roofer who tells you they are "state licensed" for roofing is either confused or misleading you. What you can verify is insurance, RCAT standing, manufacturer certifications, and BBB record.
Who inspects roofing work in The Woodlands?
Generally nobody from a government. The Woodlands is a township rather than an incorporated city, so it has no municipal building department pulling roofing permits, and Montgomery County does not inspect single-family roofing. This is exactly why insurance verification, manufacturer certification and a written workmanship warranty carry more weight here than in a city like Houston or Conroe that runs its own permit process.
What does RCAT membership actually tell me?
RCAT is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, a trade association. Plain membership means the company pays dues and is part of the association. RCAT separately awards a Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) that requires testing, insurance proof and continuing education. The two are not the same thing and a company should not blur them. Ask which one applies before you treat it as a quality signal.
What insurance should I confirm before signing?
Two policies. General liability, which covers damage to your property, and workers compensation, which matters because without it an injured crew member's medical costs can land on your homeowners policy. Ask for a certificate of insurance emailed to you directly by the agent named on it, not a PDF handed over by the salesperson, and check the policy dates are current on the day work starts.
Is hail a real risk this far south in Montgomery County?
Yes, though less relentlessly than the Dallas and Fort Worth corridor that gets called Hail Alley. Montgomery County still sees damaging spring hail and severe thunderstorm wind. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles are a reasonable upgrade to price out, partly for durability and partly because many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your own carrier what discount they give before paying the upgrade.
Do I need windstorm certification or a WPI-8 for a roof in The Woodlands?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certificates apply to the fourteen first-tier coastal counties covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Montgomery County is inland and not on that list, so there is no WPI-8 requirement here. If a contractor tries to charge you for coastal windstorm certification in The Woodlands, that is a warning sign.
How should I handle a hail or wind insurance claim?
File the claim with your own insurer first and let their adjuster inspect. A roofer can meet the adjuster on site and point out damage, which is legitimate. What is not legitimate in Texas is a contractor offering to waive, absorb or rebate your deductible. That is illegal under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 707 and it exposes you as well as them.
What warranty should I expect?
Two separate things. The manufacturer warranty covers the shingles or membrane and its length depends on the product and on the installer's certification tier. The workmanship warranty covers the installation and comes from the contractor, so it is only worth as much as the company's ability to still be trading when you call. Get both in writing, with the workmanship term stated in years, before you sign.
What should I ask before signing any Texas roofing contract?
Ask for the certificate of insurance from the agent, the total price with the payment schedule, whether the deposit is refundable, who the on-site supervisor will be, whether the crew is employed or subcontracted, the workmanship warranty length, the manufacturer warranty registration, and confirmation that old decking replacement is priced per sheet in the contract rather than added later. Get every promise in the written contract, not in a text message.
