How to check Nick's Roofing on the Texas record
Texas leaves roofing unlicensed at the state level, so the voluntary RCAT program (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) and its public contractor directory are the credential that exists Official lookup: RCAT Licensed Contractors directory.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
