Checking Gordy Roofing Longview 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.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
