Checking XIT Roofing & Construction against the Texas record
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.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- 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.
