Looking up Laredo Roofing Solutions in Texas
Texas has no state roofing license. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) runs a voluntary industry licensing program with a public contractor directory Official lookup: RCAT Licensed Contractors directory.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
