The Short Answer

Tyler Roofing Company on Spur 164 has the longest checkable record of any roofer in town, locally owned since 1983 and BBB accredited since 1986. Cable's Roofing is the best all-round residential pick, AVCO Roofing is the strongest commercial option, and Advantage Roofing is the one to call about an Owens Corning warranty.

Tyler Roofing Company, Inc.

West side, off Spur 164 · Quote based

Known for The longest verifiable track record of any roofer in Tyler, plus an in-house sheet metal shop

Texas does not license roofers, so the only things a homeowner can actually check are dates and memberships, and nobody in Tyler has better ones. The Better Business Bureau file lists the company as accredited since 1 October 1986 and incorporated on 1 December 1983, and its own site says locally owned and operated since 1983. That accreditation is the oldest held by any roofing contractor in this city.

It is a family company. Tommy Ray Sukiennik is president, Mark Sukiennik vice president, Cris Sukiennik general manager and Tracy Sukiennik office manager. It is carried as an associate member in both the Tyler Area Builders Association directory and the Texas Association of Builders directory, which is unusual here and means builders as well as homeowners hire it. The scope covers commercial and residential work, flat roofs, roof leak repair, inspections and sheet metal fabrication done in house.

Go-to order or tip: If your job involves flashing, valleys, chimney pans or anything custom bent, ask for the sheet metal shop specifically. That is the part of this company most of its competitors have to subcontract.

Cable's Roofing & Construction

South, on Highway 155 · Quote based

Known for Turning up in more independent directories than any other roofer in Smith County

Cable's is the most cross-checkable roofing company in the county. It appears in the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas contractor directory, in the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce member list, in the Tyler Area Builders Association roofing category and in the Longview Chamber directory, and its Better Business Bureau file shows accreditation since 17 September 2013. Four separate organisations that do not talk to each other all list the same business at the same address.

Family owned and working East Texas since 1999, with Darren Cable as co-owner and Macy Cable as co-owner and office manager. The work spans repairs, full replacements, metal roofs, silicone coating systems for flat roofs, gutters and patio covers, so it is one of the few shops in town that can handle a house and a small commercial building without bringing in a second contractor.

Go-to order or tip: If you have a flat or low-slope roof that is leaking but not failed, ask about the silicone restoration system before you agree to a tear-off. It is usually the cheaper of the two answers and Cable's installs both.

AVCO Roofing

Southwest Loop 323 · Quote based

Known for The commercial roofing operation in Tyler, with a separate residential arm

AVCO runs the largest roofing operation headquartered in Tyler and is the clearest answer here for a warehouse, church, shop building or apartment block. GAF carries AVCO Commercial in its commercial contractor directory, RCAT lists AVCO Roofing Commercial in its contractor database, and the company is a Tyler Area Chamber member with a Better Business Bureau file accredited since 1 June 2007. The residential side is filed separately as AVCO Residential LLC in the Tyler Area Builders Association directory.

The company tells its own founding story as started in 2007 by Donnie Parkinson, run until his death in 2014 and bought by current owner Heath Hicks, which we could not confirm outside its own pages, though the 2007 BBB accreditation date matches. Note that it now works from several offices across North and East Texas rather than Tyler alone, and that a second Tyler address on State Highway 110 also circulates for its corporate office.

Go-to order or tip: For commercial work, ask which single-ply system they are quoting and what the no dollar limit warranty term is. On a metal building the answer changes the price more than the labour does.

Stonewater Roofing

West Houston Street, near downtown · Quote based

Known for Manufacturer certifications at the top tier, and comfort with difficult old buildings

Founded in 2010 by Roland Browne, Stonewater is the most visible roofing brand in Tyler and the one with the strongest shingle credentials. It is a certified GAF and CertainTeed contractor and holds the GAF Master Elite President's Club award, the tier that lets a roofer write GAF's best limited warranties. Locals Love Us, the reader-voted Tyler poll, carries it as a winner.

KLTV filmed Browne on site in July 2025 talking through the restoration of the historic Ramey House, which had taken heavy fire and water damage in 2022, so this is a company that takes on the awkward jobs rather than only the subdivision reroofs. One thing worth knowing before you sign anything. Stonewater is the company that sued the Texas Department of Insurance over the state's public adjuster rules, and in 2024 the Texas Supreme Court ruled against it, holding that a roofer without an adjuster licence may not negotiate your claim for you. That is now the law for every contractor on this page.

Go-to order or tip: Ask for the Golden Pledge warranty in writing on a shingle job. Only Master Elite contractors can issue it, and it is the main practical reason to pay for that tier.

Advantage Roofing Company

South Tyler · Quote based

Known for Owens Corning Platinum Preferred certification, which nobody else here appears to hold

Advantage has been working out of Tyler since 2008 under president Jay Welling and is a Tyler Area Chamber member. The reason to call it specifically is the manufacturer relationship. Owens Corning carries Advantage in its own contractor directory, and the company describes itself as the only Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor in East Texas, which is a claim we could not independently confirm but which no competing East Texas roofer contradicts. If you want an Owens Corning system with the platinum-level warranty attached, this is the shortest list you have.

We have published no street address for Advantage, because three different ones circulate for the same phone number, on Old Bullard Road, on State Highway 155 South and on West Southwest Loop 323. The company also works Longview and several markets outside East Texas, so confirm which crew is coming.

Go-to order or tip: Get the Owens Corning warranty registration number after the job is finished, not just the promise before it. Platinum coverage only exists once the installation is actually registered with the manufacturer.

Steele Roofing LLC

South, on Highway 69 · Quote based

Known for A small owner-run shop that carries a voluntary state roofing licence anyway

Steele Roofing is listed in the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory and in the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce member list, and has a Better Business Bureau file naming John Steele as owner. For a company this size, holding an RCAT licence is a real signal. It is voluntary, it costs money, it requires proof of experience, insurance and a fixed business address, and a storm-chasing outfit will never bother with it.

The work is residential, commercial and metal roofing, with free inspections, emergency tarping and commercial roof coatings on the list. This is the pick if you would rather deal with the person who owns the company than with a salesperson on commission.

Go-to order or tip: Emergency tarping is on the service list here, which not every Tyler roofer offers. Worth knowing the number before the next hailstorm rather than after it.

R.B. Roofing

East, off Yancy Lane · Quote based

Known for Two decades of unbroken BBB accreditation with no rebrand along the way

R.B. Roofing has been Better Business Bureau accredited since 18 August 2004, which puts it third in Tyler by accreditation age behind Tyler Roofing Company and AVCO. The file names Ramon Balderrama as owner. That is a long run for a small roofing company in a hail market, where the usual pattern is a business that appears after a storm, collects a season of insurance work and closes under a different name.

We have not published a founding year, because the BBB file gives a 1997 start date while other listings say more than thirty years. Either way the accreditation date is the number that matters and it is checkable. Residential roofing is the core of the work.

Go-to order or tip: Ask for the BBB accreditation number and look it up yourself before you sign. It takes two minutes and it is the single fastest way to separate an established Tyler roofer from a storm-season arrival.

Redline Roofing Company

South Broadway Avenue · Quote based

Known for A written ten-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's cover

Redline is a Tyler Area Chamber member with a Better Business Bureau file accredited since 14 March 2019 at an A+ rating, run by owner Myrick Prince. It works mainly in CertainTeed shingles and is manufacturer-certified on them, which is what makes the full material warranty valid, and it backs installations with its own ten-year workmanship warranty covering leak repairs. Very few roofers in this market put a workmanship term in writing at all.

Two caveats worth stating. The company advertises more than twenty years serving East Texas while its BBB accreditation dates to 2019, and it also lists offices in Lindale and Longview, so ask which crew is doing your roof. It has the widest published service window here, seven days a week.

Go-to order or tip: Get the ten-year workmanship warranty on paper with the contract, not as a verbal promise. A workmanship warranty is only worth what the document says it is.

Farmer's Roofing & Construction

Southwest Loop 323 · Quote based

Known for Roofing plus the rest of the build, from a company that also does new construction

Farmer's has a Better Business Bureau file giving a start date of 1 January 2005 and naming Darren Farmer, and it works both sides of the trade, new construction roofs and replacement and repair work on existing houses. That matters if your job is not only a roof. The company also handles remodelling, new home construction and tree work, so a storm that took out the roof and a limb through the eaves is one contractor rather than three.

Ignore the "in business more than fifty years" line that some aggregator listings attach to this company. The BBB file says 2005, and 2005 is the date we would work from.

Go-to order or tip: If the roof damage came with structural or tree damage, get the whole thing quoted as one job here. That is the specific case where a builder-roofer beats a roofing-only crew.

Calvary Roofing and Construction LLC

Lindale, about fifteen miles north of Tyler · Quote based

Known for The newest company here with real credentials rather than only a website

Calvary is based in Lindale rather than Tyler and we have labelled it that way rather than pretending otherwise, but it works Tyler as a core market and it belongs on this list. It appears in the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas contractor database, in the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce roofing category and in the Tyler Area Builders Association directory, and its Better Business Bureau file shows accreditation from 18 August 2025 with Nicholas Gullatt as co-owner.

It is the youngest business on this page, which is why it is last, but a young company that has already joined RCAT and two builder organisations is a very different proposition from a young company with a keyword domain and a call centre. Scope covers roof repairs, full replacements, deck repair, siding, fascia, soffit and gutters.

Go-to order or tip: A newer contractor is worth a quote precisely because it is hungry, but ask how long the workmanship warranty runs and who honours it. A ten-year promise from a one-year-old company is worth less than a five-year one from a forty-year-old company.

How did we pick these?

Texas does not license roofers. There is no state exam, no state number to look up, and no state board to complain to. That single fact changes how a list like this has to be built, because the usual shortcut of checking a licence does not exist here.

So we worked from the records that do exist and that nobody can buy on the way past. We started with three membership lists that are not ours and not for sale to anonymous operators, the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce roofing category, the Tyler Area Builders Association roofing category and the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas contractor database, which issues the state's only voluntary roofing licence. Then we pulled every Better Business Bureau file for a roofing contractor in Tyler and sorted by accreditation date, because a company that has held accreditation since 1986 is a different animal from one accredited in December. Then we checked manufacturer directories, which is where the GAF and Owens Corning certifications either exist or do not. Every company here appears in at least two of those places.

There are no partners, clients or sponsored entries on this list. Nobody in clients.json runs a roofing company in Smith County, so the scaffold pre-filled nothing and nothing was cut for a relationship.

What did we leave off, and why?

A search for roofers in Tyler returns a wall of businesses whose entire identity is the search term. We left off Roofing Tyler TX LLC, Tyler Roof Repair and Texas Roof Masters Tyler, all of which own Tyler-shaped names and none of which we could tie to a checkable local history. We left off Erie Home, which is a national provider rather than a Tyler company.

Two real businesses were cut for address problems rather than quality. AAA Roof Works has a BBB file under a Tyler county road address, but its own website gives Gladewater and other listings give Hawkins, and we could not resolve which is the working shop. Spartan Exteriors LLC is a genuine Tyler company with a chamber listing and a BBB file, but its published address is residential and a second Spartan Exteriors trades in Round Rock, which makes the record harder to read than it should be. A and B Roofing has a BBB file dating its start to 1982, which would have put it near the top, but no street address is published anywhere we could find. The Original I.C.S. Roofing has a Tyler office at 400 Rice Rd and a BBB file listing Tyler as headquarters, but its own website is built around Sherman, three hours north, so we have named it here rather than ranked it.

What should you know before you go?

Two practical things, and both of them cost money if you get them wrong.

First, the City of Tyler requires a permit to replace a roof, and contractors have to register with the city before they can pull one. Any contractor who waves that away is telling you something useful about themselves. Second, since 2024 your roofer cannot negotiate your insurance claim for you unless they also hold a public adjuster licence. That came out of a case brought by a Tyler company, Stonewater Roofing, which the Texas Supreme Court decided in the Department of Insurance's favour. Your roofer can document the damage and meet the adjuster on the roof. They cannot argue the settlement.

Here is how the top of the list compares on the things you can actually verify.

Company Independent record Best for
Tyler Roofing Company BBB accredited 1986, builder association member Long-record residential and commercial, custom sheet metal
Cable's Roofing RCAT, two chambers, TABA, BBB 2013 The all-round residential job
AVCO Roofing GAF commercial directory, RCAT, BBB 2007 Commercial and flat roofs
Stonewater Roofing GAF Master Elite President's Club GAF shingle warranties and difficult buildings
Advantage Roofing Owens Corning contractor directory An Owens Corning platinum-level warranty
Steele Roofing RCAT licence, chamber member Owner-run job, emergency tarping

Timing matters more here than in most trades. East Texas took a serious hailstorm on 20 April 2026, and the Better Business Bureau's East Texas office issued its usual warning afterwards about contractors going door to door. Its advice is worth repeating. Never pay in full up front, take at least three bids written against the same scope, and treat an unannounced knock as a reason to slow down rather than speed up.

What should you do next?

Call two of the top four and get both to put the manufacturer system, the warranty term and the workmanship term in writing. If you are insuring the job, do that before you talk numbers with your adjuster, because the estimates are what the conversation runs on.

If you are outside Smith County, we have the same treatment for roofers in Sulphur Springs and for roofers in Paris. Everything else we have published for this city sits on the Tyler guide, and the rest of the state's roofing coverage is on the roofers hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Texas has no statewide roofing licence, and roofing is not one of the trades the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation regulates. The nearest thing is the voluntary licence issued by the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, which requires proof of experience, insurance, a fixed business address and passing exams. Several companies on this list hold one.

Yes. The City of Tyler requires a permit for a roof replacement, and contractors have to register with the city before they can pull one. Permits and plans are submitted electronically. If a contractor tells you no permit is needed, that is a reason to get another quote.

The Better Business Bureau's East Texas office puts out the same advice after every hail event. Never pay for the work in full up front, get at least three bids on the same scope, and be wary of anyone who turns up unannounced at the door with a low price and a short deadline. A local address you can drive to is the simplest filter there is.

No, not unless they also hold a public adjuster licence. This was settled in 2024 when the Texas Supreme Court ruled against Tyler's own Stonewater Roofing in its challenge to the state's public adjuster rules, holding that the restrictions regulate professional conduct rather than speech. A roofer can document damage and meet your adjuster on the roof, but negotiating the settlement on your behalf is a licensed activity.

They are competing manufacturer certification tiers, and each one unlocks that manufacturer's strongest warranties. Only the certified contractor can issue them, so the certification effectively decides which warranty you can buy. In Tyler, Stonewater carries the GAF Master Elite tier and Advantage Roofing carries the Owens Corning Platinum Preferred tier.

Demand spikes after spring hail. East Texas took a significant hailstorm on 20 April 2026 that damaged roofs, gutters and vehicles across the region, and every reputable roofer in Tyler books out for weeks afterwards. If your roof is merely old rather than damaged, schedule the work in late summer or autumn when crews are free and you are not competing with insurance jobs.
