Licensing
ROOF EXPERTS LICENSING
Did you know Texas doesn’t require roofing contractors to hold a license of any kind? It’s true. Anyone can advertise their services as a roofer in Texas because licensing is voluntary here. While this is great news for contractors looking to pull a fast one on unsuspecting homeowners, it’s terrible for customers. How can you tell the good roofers from the hacks? Are online reviews enough to go by? At Roof Experts and Construction, we have the licensing and credentials to back up our claims of exceptional service and workmanship.
Licensing, especially on a voluntary basis, tells you a lot about a roofing company. It shows they take their reputation seriously and care about how they are perceived. It speaks well of their commitment, because licensing takes time and effort. And it is tangible proof that they have attained a certain level of recognition within the industry. In other words, a licensed roofing contractor in Texas has gone to great lengths to earn respect and credibility, even though the state did not require them to.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HIRING A LICENSED ROOFER
Licensed roofers must uphold the values of the licensing board and all the associations they are a part of. Licensing keeps them accountable for their actions, the quality of their work, and their customer service. Licensing also ensures roofers know the laws and ethics pertaining to their trade. While unlicensed contractors might try to earn your business by offering to waive the deductible for your roof repairs, what they’re actually pushing is insurance fraud. A licensed roofer with real credentials would know better.
