HOMEOWNERS - Hiring a Residential Roofing Contractor

BUILDING OWNERS/PROPERTY MANAGERS - Hiring a Commercial Roofing Contractor

In Texas, anyone can call themselves a roofing company. There is no state licensing for roofing contractors, and insurance is not required. It is left to building owners and property managers to ensure that they are hiring a roofing contractor that is qualified, reputable, experienced and properly insured. Beware of disreputable contractors who have little to no experience applying the type of roofing solution you need, use substandard products, are not adequately insured, do not follow required safety protocols and/or leave you without a proper warranty or in violation of building codes.  DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU PUT JUST ANYONE ON YOUR ROOF!
