Elite Roofing Systems

How to check Elite Roofing Systems on the Texas record

the state of Texas does not license roofers; the voluntary industry program run by the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) publishes its licensed contractors in a public directory Official lookup: RCAT Licensed Contractors directory.

1. Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
2. Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
3. An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
4. Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
