About
Tristan Roofing & Construction is a small roofing and general construction business at 1801 FM 664 in Ferris, Ellis County, on the rural corridor between Ferris and Ovilla south of Dallas. Its BBB profile carries that same 1801 FM 664, Ferris, TX 75125 address, which is the address the company gave on the City of Frisco contractor register, and lists the phone (214) 769-3822. BBB opened its file on this business on 19 July 2021.
The company keeps a very small web footprint. It has no website of its own, and the only online presence found is a Facebook business page that returns no published detail. Its BBB profile is not accredited and BBB states it does not have enough information to issue a rating, which is what you would expect for a small owner operated crew that works locally and by referral rather than advertising. Working from a rural Ellis County address and registering to work in Frisco puts roughly an hour of driving between base and job site, which is normal for DFW storm and reroof work but worth knowing.
On registration, Tristan Roofing & Construction appears on the City of Frisco contractor register, registration no. R25-1259, meaning 2025 is the year it first registered with the city. Frisco publishes no status or expiry for these registrations, so ask the company to confirm its registration is current and to provide its certificate of general liability insurance before any work starts.

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.

RegionFerris
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.
Is Tristan Roofing & Construction licensed by the State of Texas?
No, because no such license exists. Texas does not issue a state roofing license. The checks available to you are city or county registration, current general liability and workers compensation insurance, and voluntary industry credentials. This company appears on the City of Frisco contractor register under registration no. R25-1259.
The register shows this company twice for 2025. Are there two businesses?
No. Two 2025 registration numbers carry the same company name at the same 1801 FM 664 address. That is a duplicate entry in the city's register, not two separate firms or two branches. Treat it as one business with one operating base in Ferris.
What does the Frisco registration number actually prove?
It proves the company registered with the City of Frisco, and the R25 prefix records that 2025 was the year it first registered. Frisco's register publishes only registration number, company name and address, with no status column and no expiry date, so the number does not tell you whether the registration is current today.
How can I confirm the registration has not lapsed?
Ask the company for the certificate of general liability insurance it filed with the city. Frisco ties registration expiry to the expiry of the contractor's own general liability policy, requires at least $300,000 per occurrence with the City of Frisco named as certificate holder, and issues no permits or inspections once a registration lapses.
Is the company based in Frisco?
No. It is based at 1801 FM 664 in Ferris, Ellis County, well south of Dallas and roughly an hour from Frisco. It registers with Frisco in order to work there, which is standard for contractors covering the whole metroplex. Ask how quickly they can get back to you for a warranty callback given the distance.
Is this company an RCAT member?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory returned no record for Tristan Roofing & Construction. RCAT membership is voluntary and plenty of working Texas roofers never join, so its absence is not a mark against the company. It simply means that check is not available here.
What is the difference between an RCAT Member and an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Membership means paying dues to the association. The Licensed Roofing Contractor credential, written CRRL, RRL or CRL, is a separate qualification earned through RCAT's own programme by a named individual. The two are not interchangeable, so ask a contractor which one they are actually claiming.
What does its BBB profile tell me?
Not much, and that is worth knowing. The profile shows the Ferris address and phone, records that the BBB file was opened on 19 July 2021, states the business is not BBB accredited, and says BBB does not have sufficient information to issue a rating. No rating is different from a bad rating, but it means BBB is not a useful signal here.
Should I ask for Class 4 impact resistant shingles on a Frisco roof?
It is worth pricing. Frisco sits in the North Texas hail corridor and most large Texas homeowners insurers offer a premium credit for a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rated roof. Confirm the credit with your own carrier, then ask for the Class 4 upgrade quoted as its own line item so the extra cost is visible.
What should I insist on before signing with a small contractor like this?
A certificate of general liability insurance sent by the insurance agent with your property listed, confirmation of who carries workers compensation for the crew, three recent local job addresses, written confirmation that the contractor pulls the City of Frisco permit and meets the inspector, and a scope that spells out decking replacement pricing, underlayment, flashing and ventilation.
