Whether it's hail damage in Dallas or hurricane repairs on the coast, RCAT helps Texas homeowners and building owners find qualified, accountable roofers.
Why RCAT licensed
What the license tells you.

Avoiding storm chasers
After major storms, out-of-state crews flood Texas neighborhoods. Watch for these warning signs:
- Door-to-door solicitation right after a storm
- Pressure to sign today or 'before the adjuster comes'
- Large cash deposits before materials arrive
- Offers to 'cover' or waive your insurance deductible
- No local address, references or verifiable license
Know your rights
Texas property owners can…
- Request a written contract with scope, materials and price
- Verify insurance certificates directly with the carrier
- Receive a written warranty for workmanship
- Pay deductibles directly — Texas law prohibits contractors from waiving them
- Cancel certain contracts within the legal rescission window
Search before you sign.
