Roofing in Texas: Licensing, Insurance, and What to Verify

By Admin

Texas does not require a state roofing license, which makes it especially important to know what to verify before you hire. Doing a little homework protects you from unqualified contractors. Here is what to check.

What to Verify Before You Hire

A few checks go a long way in Texas.

Insurance and Reputation

Because there is no state license, insurance and a strong local reputation matter even more. A roofer invested in the community, like Cannon Roofing since 1994, is a safer choice — one reason our choosing a roofer guide stresses local track record.

Guarantees and Vetted Crews

Look for real workmanship guarantees and background-checked crews. Our Technician Seal of Safety and 10-Year Craftsmen Guarantee, covered in our warranties guide, offer that assurance.

Why Verification Protects You

Taking time to verify a roofer protects your home and your investment. It also ensures your insurance claims are handled by someone qualified and accountable.
