How to Choose a Roofer in Texas
Texas does not require a statewide roofing license, so it is up to homeowners to check who they hire. These questions help.
Request a rooferAsk for proof of insurance
A roofer should carry liability insurance, and workers’ compensation coverage is a plus. Ask for certificates.
Look for a local track record
A local address, local references and reviews over several years are good signs.
Voluntary credentials
Some Texas roofers hold a voluntary license from the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT), a private industry group. It is not required, but it shows extra effort.
Get it in writing
Ask for a written estimate that lists materials, scope, cleanup and warranty.
Check local permits
Some cities have their own permit or registration rules. Ask the roofer whether a permit is needed for your job.
Do not rush after a storm
Out-of-town crews often go door to door after big storms. Never sign under pressure or pay in full up front.
