Looking up Gonzalez Roofing and More in Texas
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.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
