Hiring guide
How to Choose a Roofer in Lubbock
A practical checklist before you sign anything.
Licensing
Texas does not require roofing contractors to hold a state-issued roofing license. A voluntary license is offered by the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT); it is not a state license. (source, checked 2026-10-17)
Insurance
Ask for proof of general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and check it's current.
Written estimate & contract
Scope, materials, timeline, cleanup, payment schedule and warranty terms, all in writing.
Storm-chaser red flags
Door-to-door pitches right after storms, pressure to sign today, or big upfront cash demands.
Insurance claims
You deal with your insurer directly. Read your policy for deadlines. This is general information, not legal or insurance advice.
Independent research
Look up reviews and complaints on independent sites such as the BBB before you hire.
Local checks for Lubbock
