How hard is East Texas weather on roofs?
On February 11, 2024, the NOAA Storm Prediction Center logged baseball-size hail (2.75 inches) two miles east-southeast of Longview, and 2.5-inch hail near Kilgore (NOAA SPC). On April 9, 2015, an EF1 tornado northeast of downtown Longview damaged the roof of a nursing home, forcing an evacuation, and tore off part of a church roof (NWS Shreveport). Summer heat matters too: Longview's average July high is 94.4°F (NWS), which ages shingles faster.

Frequently asked questions
Do roofers need a license in Texas?
No state license exists for reroofing contractors in Texas; a 2025 bill to create one (HB 3344) did not pass (Texas Legislature). Some roofers hold a voluntary private credential from the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas. Ask for proof of liability insurance, local references and a written contract.
Do I need a permit for a new roof in Longview?
The City of Longview's Building Inspection Department handles permits, and contractors register through the City's online permits portal (City of Longview). Ask your roofer to confirm whether your job needs a permit and who pulls it.
Can a roofer handle my insurance claim for me?
A roofer can document damage and meet the adjuster, but the Texas Department of Insurance says roofers can't negotiate your claim settlement on your behalf (TDI). You stay in charge of the claim.
Is this a roofing company?
No. We are an independent referral service that connects you with independent local roofers. We do not do roofing work ourselves.
