Voluntary Roof License in Central Texas

In Texas, roofing is not licensed by the state, which makes it harder for homeowners and property owners to know who to trust. 

Through RCAT’s voluntary licensing program, licensed roofers in Central Texas can demonstrate their commitment to professional standards, ethical practices, and ongoing education.

What Roofing Licensing Really Means in Central Texas

Texas does not issue a state roofing license, which makes it harder for consumers to know who they can trust. 

RCAT created a voluntary licensing program to set a clear, higher standard for roofing contractors across Texas. 

That standard is built on real experience, tested knowledge, and ongoing education. 

As an RCAT regional chapter, CTRCA supports this licensing program to help protect consumers and raise professionalism throughout Central Texas.

Licensing Built for Residential and Commercial Roofing

RCAT offers both residential and commercial roofing licenses because these areas require different skills, knowledge, and experience. 

Residential and commercial roofing involve different systems, materials, and project demands, and the licensing reflects that distinction. 

Contractors can pursue the license that aligns with the type of work they do, residential, commercial, or both. 

Holding both licenses demonstrates the ability to work across roofing systems while meeting the same professional standards.
