RCAT Residential Roofing License:

Believe it or not, the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation does NOT currently administer licensure for roofing contractors. Anyone can call themselves a roofer in Texas and they are not required to be knowledgeable, insured, licensed, or even registered with the state. Roofing is a highly skilled trade, and the roof is structurally the most important component protecting the contents and integrity of the home or business! Texas residents deserve a higher standard so the RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor program was developed to increase consumer protection and secure public confidence in the roofing industry by elevating the roofing contractor’s knowledge and professionalism through voluntary self-regulation.

In order to be a licensed roofing contractor under the Roofing Contractor’s Association of Texas, the contractor must:

  • Pass a business, safety and roofing knowledge exam with a score of 70% or better.
  • Submit satisfactory evidence of the roofing company’s financial responsibility.
  • Provide evidence of adequate liability insurance.
  • Provide evidence of Worker’s Compensation Insurance or proof of a filing with the State of Texas form DWC Form 005, Employer Notice of No Coverage or Termination of Coverage as required by law. Note: Green Knight® carries Workers’ Compensation Insurance.

Green Knight® has met all of the stated requirements and is a licensed Residential Roofing Contractor through the Roofing Contractor’s Association of Texas.

Award-Winning Hyperbolic Parabolic Double Lock Standing Seam Metal Roof

Because we at Green Knight® Metal Roofing are metal roofing specialists, we were approached by an award-winning architecture firm, Bercy Chen Studios, to install a signature metal roof with a very unusual design.  The homeowner, and the architecture firm were both very concerned about hiring a company that would be qualified to take on this project.

Green Knight consulted with the homeowner and Thomas Bercy to assure all needs were met.  Specifically, the house sits at the bottom of a hill so the roof is the first part of the home that can be seen upon approach.  Thus, the aesthetics had to be perfect.  Additionally, because of the hyperbolic parabolic design, oil canning and water tightness were both major concerns.  Green Knight® solved these problems by installing narrower panels so that the twists in the roof would not cause too much strain on the panel faces, or on the seams.  Finally, on-site, custom roll forming and meticulous seaming of the panels were performed.  The result?  A signature roof that has won the Prestigious Chairman’s Award, given by the Metal Construction Association and the Metal Roofing Alliance’s Award for Metal Roof of the Quarter.

This project, and these awards show that the specialists of Green Knight® Metal roofing have the skill and expertise to handle any metal roofing project; from very simple “up and over” roofs to the ultimate in complexity.  Why would you consider hiring any other firm to provide for one of the largest expenses you may ever have for your home?
