Texas Requires a License To Cut Hair But Not To Replace Your Roof

If you’re finding some leaks in your roof from the recent storms be sure to watch this before you make a decision on which Fort Worth roofing contractor to call.

How to choose the right roofing contractor

Texas doesn’t require roofers to have a license. In fact there is no state regulations or oversight of who can install roofs. Until that changes you can protect your home and investment by following a few guidelines when choosing a roofing contractor.

  1. Make sure they are a local company with a physical address (not a PO Box) who will be here to fulfill their warranty if you have any issues in the future.
  2. Make sure they have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau. An A+ rating is the best, it means roofer has a perfect record (zero complaints) with the BBB.
  3. Make sure they are a GAF Factory-Certified Master Elite Roofing Contractor. GAF created this certification to give homeowners (that live in states like Texas that don’t require a roofers license) a way to ensure they are using a trusted roofing contractor. GAF has very strict requirements that roofers must meet to become a Master Elite Roofing Contractor. This includes completing hours of continuing education courses and meeting strict installation standards.
  4. Check to see if the roofing contractor has any professional associations like the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association. Associations like the NTRCA have an extensive qualifying process that requires 3 other current members to vouch for you.
