About
Wellborn Roofing, Inc. is a family run residential roofing company working out of Carrollton in the north Dallas suburbs. The Better Business Bureau file gives the address as 2303 Sheffield Square, Carrollton, Texas 75007 and records the business as started in April 1974 and incorporated in September 1995, with Wayne E. Wellborn as president and Susan Wellborn as secretary treasurer. The company's own material describes it as family owned and started in the Dallas area in 1973.
The work is squarely residential and skews toward the harder steep-slope materials. BBB and the company's product pages describe composition shingle roofs alongside Spanish clay tile, Vermont slate and wood shake, plus hail resistant shingle options. That mix of slate and tile capability is uncommon and is what the company leads with, next to what it describes as thousands of installed composition roofs.
Wellborn Roofing has been BBB Accredited since July 1992 and holds an A+ rating, which is one of the longer accreditation runs among Dallas area roofers. It also appears in the Owens Corning contractor directory as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. The published phone number is (972) 307-0817.

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.

InsuranceNot verified by us (we hold no certificate for this company — ask them for a current COI before signing)
RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionCarrollton
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
Which county is Wellborn Roofing actually in?
Carrollton straddles Dallas, Denton and Collin counties. The registered address at 2303 Sheffield Square sits in the 75007 ZIP code, whose primary county is Denton, and property records for Sheffield Square point to Denton County. The county here has been recorded as Denton rather than the Dallas value on the source list.
Does the company really install slate and clay tile?
Yes. Its BBB categories include tile roofing contractors and slate work, and its own product pages name Spanish tile and Vermont slate. Very few North Texas roofers carry real slate and clay tile crews, so this is a genuine specialism rather than a marketing line.
How long has it been in business?
The BBB file records the business as started in April 1974 and incorporated as a Texas corporation in September 1995. The company's own description says it was started in the Dallas area in 1973. Either way, more than fifty years.
Is it certified by a shingle manufacturer?
It appears in the Owens Corning contractor directory as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Preferred is Owens Corning's entry credential and sits below Platinum Preferred, so do not read it as the top tier. You can check the listing yourself on the Owens Corning contractor profile linked from this page.
Is there a Texas state roofing licence to look up?
No. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so any contractor claiming one is describing something that does not exist. Verification here rests on the BBB accreditation record, the Owens Corning directory listing, current insurance certificates and city registration where the job requires it.
What is its RCAT status?
A search of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory returned no record, so the status is not found via RCAT search. That is not the same as saying the company is unlisted. RCAT membership and the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) are also two different things.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth it in Carrollton?
Often yes. North Texas takes repeated damaging hail, and most Texas home insurers offer a premium discount for a UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistant roof. Ask your insurer what the discount is before you choose, since the payback period depends entirely on your carrier and your deductible.
Who pulls the permit for a Carrollton reroof?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting and inspection are set by each city. Carrollton, Dallas and neighbouring cities each adopt their own code editions and amendments. Confirm in writing that the contractor pulls the permit in its own name, not yours.
What should I ask before signing a residential roofing contract?
Get the exact shingle, tile or slate product and colour in writing, the underlayment and ventilation spec, whether decking replacement is priced per sheet, who handles the permit and final inspection, the workmanship warranty length in years, and confirmation that the crew doing the work is covered by the contractor's workers compensation.
Does the company's website work?
The site at wellbornroofinginc.com is live but its security certificate has expired, so some browsers will show a warning before loading it. That is a certificate maintenance issue rather than a sign the business is gone. The BBB profile and Owens Corning listing are usable alternatives.
