RCAT Licensed Roofing Professional – Austin, TX

RCAT Licensed Roofing Professional – Austin, TX

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.

What is the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?

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.

Why RCAT Membership Matters for Austin Homeowners

When you choose an RCAT member, you’re choosing a contractor who has stepped above the minimum:

Texas-focused oversight

RCAT is built around Texas storm patterns, codes, and insurance realities.

Ethics and accountability

RCAT members agree to a written code of ethics and professional conduct.

Insurance and business standards

Members must maintain appropriate insurance and operate as legitimate businesses.

Consumer protection

RCAT works to protect homeowners from fly-by-night operators after hail and wind events.

For Austin-area homeowners dealing with storm damage, RCAT membership is one of the quickest ways to separate established local roofers from opportunistic storm chasers.
