Why Hire a Licensed Roofing Company?
christine • October 26, 2016
The funniest thing I have heard in this industry came from our Hardie Siding rep, Mike. Over lunch he said he only wants to work with real construction companies not a "Chuck in a Truck". The term still makes me giggle. If you're not familiar with the term it refers to someone who slaps a magnet onto the door of their truck and calls themselves a contractor.
Thing about Chuck is that he seems nice and he doesn't cost that much. Most likely Chuck is a good guy. However there is an association built up strong here in Texas because sometimes Chuck isn't a nice guy after all.
It’s hard to know who you can trust! The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas was developed for 2 main reasons. One is to provide training, licensing and continuing education to local roofing companies.The second reason is to push for legislation requiring registration & licensing for roofing companies. We currently have licensing requirements for plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, realtors, tow truck drivers but not for most of the home-building trades?
This article by KXAN is a few years old but I think it is still very relevant to Travis County.

RCAT takes the pressure off of you by verifying that a contractor has met the standards of a true professional roofing contractor. For a Roofing company to be eligible the company must be domiciled in the state of Texas for at least three continuous years & carry insurances such as General Liability and Workman's Compensation. After a thorough credit and background check, the owner must pass the business and safety knowledge exam including residential and commercial roofing exams. The licensed roofing company is then required eight hours of continuing education each year to maintain their license.
SPECIFY THAT YOU WANT A LICENSED ROOFING CONTRACTOR IT'S THE SMART, PROFESSIONAL WAY TO GO!

Kids don't always know what they want to do when they grow up. We find that once someone gets into roofing they rarely leave the field. It is lucrative and does not require a college degree.
