How a homeowner verifies a roofing company before signing: registry-checkable licensing, insurance certificates, background-checked profiles, manufacturer certifications, and line-by-line quote verification.
What Is Choosing a Roofing Contractor?
Texas has no state roofing license, so choosing a roofing contractor rests on checks the homeowner can run independently: the voluntary RCAT license on its public registry, a current insurance certificate, third-party records such as the BBB accreditation directory, manufacturer certifications granted and listed by the manufacturers themselves, and a written quote verified checkpoint by checkpoint. A contractor unwilling to be checked on any of these has answered the question already.
Important Distinction
Note: Choosing a contractor is the homeowner's decision alone. Zilker Roofing does not rank, certify, or disparage other roofers, and no roofer's own word — including ours — should decide the choice: every credential claimed on this page links to the independent registry that can prove or disprove it, and the same checks apply to any company you consider.

Checking the company and checking its quote are the same act at two scales: the registry lookups say whether the business is what it claims to be, and the line-by-line quote walk says whether the document is.
Texas issues no state roofing license, which is exactly why this question turns on checks a homeowner can run independently on public registries rather than on a credential the state would otherwise settle.
The checks that answer this question are also the ones a storm chaser cannot pass: a registry entry, a current certificate of coverage, and a local address all outlast a storm season, and none of them can be produced at a front door.
