How to check Simply Roofing on the Texas record
no state roofing license exists in Texas — instead, the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) maintains a voluntary industry licensing program and a public contractor directory Official lookup: RCAT Licensed Contractors directory.
- Open the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
