RCAT Roofing License #03-0699
In Texas, anyone can call themselves a roofer. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) was created to protect homeowners from storm chasers and unqualified contractors. Zilker Roofing is a proud RCAT member, committed to higher standards of workmanship, ethics, and accountability for every roof we inspect, repair, or replace in Greater Austin.

RCAT is a statewide trade association that promotes professionalism and consumer protection in the Texas roofing industry. Because Texas does not have a state roofing license, RCAT membership and licensing have become one of the strongest indicators that a roofer is serious about training, insurance, safety, and doing the right thing for homeowners. Independent Texas roofing association. Sets standards for training, insurance, and business practices. Offers a voluntary licensing program for roofing contractors. Advocates for homeowners and ethical contractors across the state.
The RCAT contractor directory lists Zilker Roofing at 801 Barton Springs Rd., Austin, and identifies Tyler Lawson (CRRL) with Commercial & Residential Roofing License #03-0699. The listing also shows membership since 2025. Check RCAT’s current directory for updates and scope. This is an RCAT credential, not a state-issued Texas roofer license.

How the estimate works ↗Before you decide
Central Texas UV, heat, thermal cycling, and hail shorten roofing life compared with manufacturer marketing ranges. Asphalt shingles have a broad 10–20-year range; product and installation affect where a roof falls within it. Standing-seam metal commonly lasts 40–70 years. Tile and slate can last 50+ years as materials, though the underlayment beneath tile needs replacement sooner. TPO membranes commonly last 20–30 years. Ventilation, installation quality, and maintenance affect the life a particular roof delivers. These are material ranges, not a diagnosis of an individual roof.
A thorough inspection includes examining shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, and checking for leaks or structural damage.

Roof replacements carry Zilker Roofing's 5-year workmanship warranty, and repairs carry a 2-year workmanship warranty. The manufacturer's material warranty is separate; its coverage depends on the product and installed system. We document the applicable terms in writing.
