Checking Barr Roofing Company against 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.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
