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 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 Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly.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 require a state roofing license?
No. Texas has no statewide roofing license. Trust is built through liability insurance, RCAT status, and city or county registration. Ask to see a current certificate of general liability insurance naming you before signing anything.
What's the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
RCAT offers a basic, paid Member status and a separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL, or CRL). Tried & True Roofing and Construction was not found via an RCAT directory search, so ask the company directly which status it currently holds.
Is Friendswood subject to WPI-8 or TWIA windstorm certification?
Yes. Galveston County, where Friendswood sits, is one of the 14 first-tier Gulf Coast counties covered by WPI-8/TWIA windstorm rules, so ask any roofer about WPI-8 certified installation for your project.
Why does this company have three different addresses?
Its BBB profile lists registered locations in Friendswood, Houston, and Porter. Confirm with the company which location is handling your specific job and whether that office is staffed.
Should I ask about impact-resistant Class 4 shingles?
Yes. Hail is common across the greater Houston area, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can reduce damage and may qualify for an insurance discount. Ask which shingle brands and Class 4 options the company offers.
What roofing materials does Tried & True Roofing work with?
Its website describes metal roofing, asphalt shingle systems, and membrane roof installation for both residential and commercial properties.
Do I need a permit to reroof in Friendswood?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set locally. Contact the City of Friendswood's building or permits department directly to confirm current reroofing permit requirements.
What should I ask before signing a roofing contract?
Ask for proof of current general liability insurance, a written scope of work, start and completion timelines, warranty terms, and whether company crews or subcontractors will perform the work.
Is Tried & True Roofing and Construction BBB accredited?
Yes. Its BBB profile shows it as a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, accredited since January 20, 2021.
How can I verify this company's reputation in Texas?
Check the BBB profile directly and look up RCAT status through the RCAT directory. No Google rating was confirmed for this listing during this research, so ask to see recent reviews directly.
