A roofer you can check up on
Every claim on this page is one you can check for yourself, and every figure carries the source it came from.
Red Hammer Roofing, Arlington, Texas.
A service-area roofing contractor working across Tarrant, Dallas and Collin counties from an Arlington base. Roof replacement, roof repair, hail and wind damage, metal roofing and documented inspections, for residential properties.
The business is run by David, who is the person you will actually deal with.
We cover Arlington and the wider metroplex from an Arlington base, working to the cities a crew can reach and return from inside a working day.
What we claim, and what we don’t
In a state that does not license roofers, the credentials that matter are the ones you can verify. Here is the complete, honest position.
What is true
- Texas has no state roofing licence. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation does not administer roofing licensure. We will never claim one, because it does not exist.
- City registration is real and checkable. Arlington requires roofing contractors to register with the city to pull a permit, and publishes a lookup.
- We are a service-area business based in Arlington, TX, covering three cities we can reach and return from in a working day.
- Our price ranges are market data, aggregated from six independent 2026 sources and cited on the page, not our quotes.
What is not on this site
- No score badges or customer quotes. We publish no ratings, star counts or aggregate feedback figures, because a number nobody can independently check is not a trust signal.
- No RCAT credential is claimed. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas issues a voluntary trade credential, and a genuinely useful one. We are not asserting we hold it.
- No manufacturer certification claimed. Installing a manufacturer’s shingle is not the same as holding their certification.
- No Louisiana pages. Louisiana Act 422 makes advertising residential roofing work there a licensed activity as of January 2026. Without a verified licence number, that market does not exist on this website.
- No stock photography dressed as our work. Every photograph here is licensed stock used to illustrate, and it is sourced on our credits page.
Inspect, document, put it in writing.
Every job runs the same way regardless of size. We walk the roof rather than assessing it from the ground. We photograph every finding with the date attached. We give you a written itemised estimate before you commit to anything, and we do not ask for a signature at the door.
Where an insurance claim is involved, that documentation is yours to submit. Texas Insurance Code §4102.163 prohibits a roofing contractor from adjusting, or advertising to adjust, claims on properties it may also work on, so you talk to your insurer and we can meet your adjuster on the roof.
When the job proceeds, we pull the permit in our own name, show you the decking before it is covered, run a magnetic nail sweep at the end, and book the municipal inspection.
Talk to us directly
Tell us about the roof. We come out, measure, photograph what we find, and put it in writing.
We never ask you to sign anything at the inspection. Texas law prohibits any roofer from paying or absorbing your insurance deductible, we will not offer to, and you should walk away from anyone who does.
