Checking Economy Roofing against 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.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
