With dozens of roofing companies advertising in the Houston area, picking the right one comes down to a handful of concrete things you can actually verify — not just who has the flashiest truck wrap.
What to Look For
- Proof of insurance: general liability and workers' compensation, so you're not liable if someone gets hurt on your roof.
- Manufacturer certifications: GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning all vet and certify installers who meet their training and quality standards, which typically unlocks stronger warranty coverage for you.
- A physical local address: a company with a real office and a history in your community, not just a phone number.
- Verifiable reviews: a consistent pattern of recent, detailed Google reviews from real customers.
- A written estimate and contract: scope of work, materials, timeline, and price, all in writing before any work begins.
- A workmanship warranty: separate from the manufacturer's material warranty, this covers the quality of the installation itself.
Questions Worth Asking
- Will you pull the required permits for this job?
- Who will actually be on my roof — your own crew or a subcontractor?
- What happens if you find rotted decking once the old roof comes off?
- What's covered under your workmanship warranty, and for how long?
JD Roofing Solutions checks every one of these boxes: fully insured, GAF/CertainTeed/Owens Corning certified, a real Houston address, a 4.9-star Google rating, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every installation.
