CREDENTIALS

CERTIFICATIONS & CREDENTIALS

Texas has no state roofing license. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation does not administer licensure for roofing contractors, which means anyone in this state can call themselves a roofer.

So instead of advertising a license that does not exist, here is what is real and verifiable.

WHAT WE CARRY

We do not currently hold manufacturer certifications or RCAT credentials. Individual technician credentials are listed only after they are verified.

VERIFIABLE CREDENTIALS

  • General liability and workers' compensation insurance — certificate provided on request
  • City contractor registrations in the jurisdictions where we pull permits

WHAT WE WILL NEVER CLAIM

We do not describe ourselves as a licensed roofing contractor, because Texas issues no such license. We do not advertise claim adjustment services: under Texas Insurance Code chapter 4102, a contractor may not act as a public adjuster or advertise to adjust claims on property where it is providing contracting services. And we do not pay, waive, rebate, or absorb any part of your insurance deductible — that is a criminal offense in Texas, not a promotion.

Jeffery D. Middleton holds these individual IICRC credentials, as shown on his credential cards. They are his technician credentials, not a claim that Ascent is an IICRC-certified firm. The cards show an expiration date of April 30, 2027.

MOLD REMEDIATION, SPECIFICALLY

Texas does license mold remediation. Projects under 25 contiguous square feet are exempt; past that, a licensed assessor must write the protocol and licensed remediation contractors must perform the work. We focus on rapid structural drying to prevent growth, and we refer licensed firms when a project crosses the threshold.

ONE CALL HANDLES THE WHOLE LOSS

A loss rarely stays in one category. These are the pieces most often attached to this one — same company, same file, same schedule.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Are roofers licensed in Texas?
No. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation does not license roofing contractors. Voluntary programs exist through industry associations, and cities may require registration to pull permits, but there is no state roofing license.
Can a contractor negotiate my insurance claim for me?
Not in Texas. A contractor working on your property cannot act as a public adjuster. We document the damage, provide a written scope, meet your adjuster on site, and bill your carrier — the adjusting itself belongs to your carrier and, if you choose to hire one, a licensed public adjuster.

FREE INSPECTION. WRITTEN REPORT EITHER WAY.

We walk the property, photograph what we find, and hand you a written report whether you hire us or not.

One property per customer, minor repairs only, materials on hand, at inspector's discretion, subject to safe roof access. Offer terms subject to confirmation.
