About
Texas Premier Residential Services is a family owned roofing and remodeling company founded in 2017, operating out of Brenham and Hempstead, Texas, in Washington County. Owner Julian Alvarez leads a team that handles residential and commercial roofing, seamless gutters, siding, exterior living spaces such as patios and pergolas, and interior remodeling, and the company states it has completed more than 500 roofing projects since opening.
The company markets itself as TAMKO, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed certified, with a Haag Certified Residential Inspector on staff and a five-year workmanship guarantee on new installations. Its own website also describes its roofers as RCAT licensed, but a search of the RCAT directory did not turn up a matching record for this company.
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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 Premier Residential Services carry liability insurance?
Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level, so insurance verification is the main protection a homeowner has. Ask Texas Premier Residential Services directly for a current certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder before work begins.
Is Texas Premier Residential Services an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas has two different tiers: a plain, dues-paying Member, and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL, or CRL). The company's own website describes its roofers as RCAT licensed, but a search of the RCAT directory under this company's name did not return a matching record, so this could not be independently confirmed. Ask the company directly, or check with RCAT.
Does hail matter for a roof in the Brenham area?
Washington County, in Central Texas, sees regular hail activity, and hail is a leading cause of roof damage and insurance claims statewide. Ask about impact-resistant Class 4 shingles, which hold up better to hail and can sometimes qualify for an insurance discount.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Brenham or Hempstead?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting rules are set city by city and county by county. Check with the City of Brenham or City of Hempstead building department (or Washington County if the property is outside city limits) before work starts, and ask your contractor whether they will pull the permit.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract?
Get the scope of work, materials, total price, payment schedule, and warranty terms in writing. Confirm whether the crew on your roof is the company's own employees or a named subcontractor, ask for a current certificate of insurance, and be cautious of anyone who pressures you to sign the same day or demands full payment upfront.
How does a homeowners insurance claim for storm or hail damage typically work?
You, or your roofer with permission, request an adjuster inspection, get a written scope of damage, and the insurer issues payment, often as an initial payment followed by a final or depreciation payment. Get your own independent inspection before agreeing with the insurer's scope, since findings can differ.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
A straightforward residential asphalt shingle replacement is often finished in one to a few days, weather permitting. Steeper roofs, larger homes, and specialty materials like tile or slate generally take longer.
What is the difference between a manufacturer's warranty and a workmanship warranty?
The manufacturer's warranty, such as those from TAMKO, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed, covers defects in the roofing material itself. The workmanship warranty is issued by the contractor and covers installation errors; Texas Premier Residential Services states a 5-year workmanship guarantee on new installations.
Should I choose a roofing material based on where I live in Texas?
Yes. In hail-prone regions, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal roofing can reduce storm damage and sometimes lower insurance premiums; in hotter areas, reflective materials can help with cooling costs. Ask your roofer what they recommend for your specific roof and climate.
How can I check a roofing company's standing before hiring in Texas?
Check for a Better Business Bureau profile if one exists, search the company name plus complaints, ask for local references, and confirm manufacturer certifications and any trade-association status, such as RCAT, directly with the issuing organization rather than taking a website's word for it.
