Katy Roofing and Siding Questions Answered Plainly

There is no such thing. Texas does not license roofing contractors, so there is no license number to ask for. RCAT certification is a voluntary industry credential, not a state license. Ask instead for liability insurance, workers' compensation, a local address, manufacturer certification and a written workmanship term.

No. Same answer as roofing: the checks that matter are insurance, references, a local address and the warranty terms.

Yes. The May 16, 2024 derecho and Hurricane Beryl on July 8, 2024 did not check roof age. See storm and wind damage inspection.

A contractor can tell on site. Production builders of the 1980s and 1990s commonly used it above brick on upper stories, gables and rear walls. Soft bottom edges and open butt joints are the signs of failure.

In a master-planned community, usually yes for a change in material or color, and often for a repaint even in the same color. Submit before ordering. See HOA approval.

That depends on the jurisdiction of the address and changes over time, so this site does not quote thresholds. The contractor doing the work confirms for the specific address.

No. This site does not file, negotiate, adjust or settle claims, and no Texas roofing contractor lawfully may adjust a claim on a property they are also working on. That question belongs to the homeowner, the agent and the carrier.

Yes. Where downspouts discharge decides how wet the soil beside the slab gets. See gutters and drainage.

When both are due, it can make sense: the same flashing and trim is touched by both. See hardboard siding replacement.
