A railroad village in the middle of Alliance
Roofing in Haslet, TX happens in a town of about two thousand people that sits beside one of the biggest logistics hubs in North Texas. The 2020 census counted 1,952 residents.
Haslet's roots go back to the 1880s. Settlers were in the area by about 1880, and a community took shape after the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway laid track through in 1883. For most of the next century it stayed tiny.
The change came from next door. AllianceTexas has been under development since 1989 around Fort Worth Alliance Airport, which its developer bills as the world's first purely industrial airport. Distribution and logistics buildings spread across the Alliance area, and new subdivisions followed the jobs. So a Haslet roofing call can be about an older house, a newer one in a subdivision, or a very large flat roof.

Haslet's rules for roofers, in order
- Register with the city. Every contractor and builder that applies for a permit must be registered with Haslet before any permit is issued.
- Carry the insurance. Registration asks for proof of insurance of at least $1,000,000, with the City of Haslet named as certificate holder, plus a photo ID and any state licenses that apply.
- Renew yearly. Registration has to be renewed every year, so last year's paperwork is not enough.
- Pull the permit. The city lists replacing a roof among the jobs that need a permit, filed through its permit portal or the building services office at 1090 Schoolhouse Road.
- Pass inspection. The building department inspects permitted work. Ask the roofer to share the result.
Because registration lapses each year, a roofer that worked in Haslet two summers ago may not be registered today. Ask, and if the answer is vague, call the building services office before anyone tears off a shingle.
That $1 million certificate is the same document you should ask a roofer to send you directly from its insurer. If a company is registered in Haslet this year, it has already produced one for the city.

What to ask a roofer working in Haslet
- Is your City of Haslet registration current for this year?
- Will your insurer send me the same liability certificate you filed with the city?
- Will you pull the roof permit, and when should I expect the inspection?
- For a newer home: is the builder's or the manufacturer's warranty still active, and will this work affect it?
- For a business or warehouse roof: what membrane or metal system is there now, and what does repair versus replacement look like?
No state license for roofers. Texas does not license roofing contractors. A 2025 bill that would have had the state license re-roofers (HB 3344) cleared a House committee but never got a floor vote, and it died when the session ended. That puts the checking on you: ask for a certificate of liability insurance sent to you by the roofer's insurance agent or insurer, a written contract that lists the full scope, the permit or contractor registration your city requires, addresses of nearby jobs, and proof the shingle warranty was registered. The line does none of this checking for you. How to check a roofer in Texas.
When storms reach the north edge of Tarrant County
Haslet gets the same spring hail and wind that sweep across the rest of Tarrant County. After a storm, keep off the roof, look from the yard for loose shingles or debris, and photograph what you see inside and out. Call your insurance company to ask about your wind and hail deductible before you decide on a claim. Know which utility serves your address: parts of Haslet are on Oncor and parts on Tri-County Electric Cooperative.
Leave the roof to the roofer. A wet or storm-hit roof is slippery, and damaged decking can give way, so keep off it and keep the ladder put away. Stay clear of any downed power line and report it to Oncor or Tri-County Electric Cooperative, whichever serves your address, or call 911. Inside, pull furniture and electronics away from the drip, set out a bucket or towels, and keep everyone out of a room where the ceiling is sagging. Take photos from the yard and from inside, then call your insurance company and a roofer.
Your deductible is yours to pay. The Texas Department of Insurance warns that a contractor may not waive your deductible, rebate it, or pad the estimate to cover it, and that a contract of $1,000 or more paid with insurance money must include a notice that you owe the deductible. Your insurer may ask for proof you paid it. A contractor also may not act as a public adjuster on a property it works on or may work on. If a roofer offers to "take care of" the deductible, hire someone else.
