Call (469) 649-7066 Melissa's registration rule

From 1,350 people to one of the nation's fastest-growing cities

Melissa, in Collin County north of McKinney, had 1,350 residents in the 2000 census, 4,695 in 2010 and 13,901 in 2020. Census Bureau estimates for 2024 to 2025 placed it among the five fastest-growing U.S. cities with at least 20,000 people.

Growth that fast means many Melissa homes have roofs that are still on their first set of shingles. Those roofs will need repairs after storms and, in time, full replacement, and new residents often have no roofer they already know.

That is the gap DFW Expert Roofers fills. It is a free phone line, not a roofing company. The call goes to an independent, owner-run roofing company that takes calls in Melissa, and that company handles everything on the roof.

Melissa's contractor registration, step by step

Register before working. The city requires anyone providing contractor services inside city limits to register with the City of Melissa.
Apply online. Registration runs through the city's Camino portal, where contractors create an account and upload their documents.
Provide the paperwork. A 2021 city notice lists a copy of the responsible party's driver's license, the contractor's liability insurance policy and any master licenses the trade requires.
Renew every calendar year. Registration does not carry over from last year. A roofer registered in 2025 needs a fresh registration for work in 2026.
Then the permit. The city issues a permit only after the contractor is registered, and every permit ends with a final inspection.

City Hall is at 3411 Barker Avenue and takes building questions at 972-838-2036.

Storm records for a young city

Melissa does not have a long, well documented storm history of its own; it was a town of about 1,350 people until recently, and the Weather Service summaries found for this page did not single it out. Collin County regularly sees spring hail and severe wind, so plan as if the next storm will reach your street.

After hail, look from the ground at gutters, downspouts and metal vents for fresh dents, check where downspouts empty for loose shingle granules, and look at ceilings for new stains. Note the date and take photos. Then have a roofer inspect before you decide anything about a claim.

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 your local electric utility, 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.

Checklist before you hire in Melissa

Confirm the company is registered with the City of Melissa for this calendar year.
Ask who will apply for the permit and when the final inspection will happen.
Get the shingle brand, line and color in writing, along with your HOA's approval if you have one.
Ask how damaged decking is found, photographed and priced.
Have the roofer's insurer send you a current certificate of coverage.

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.

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.

Shingles in the yard, a ceiling spot, or a first roof you are not sure about? Call and describe it. A roofing company that serves Melissa sees the roof and writes up its own price. Many roofers inspect without charge; ask on the call.

Melissa roofing questions

Must Melissa roofers sign up with the city?

Yes. The city says anyone providing contractor services within Melissa's city limits must apply to be registered, online through the Camino portal. Registration is renewed each calendar year, and it has to be in place before a permit is issued. A 2021 city notice lists a driver's license for the responsible party and a copy of the liability insurance policy among the documents.

Do I need a permit for roof work in Melissa TX?

Melissa's building permit rules say no one may alter, repair, replace or improve a structure without a permit, and that every permit requires a final inspection. The city also reminds homeowners that doing repairs themselves still needs a permit. Ask your roofer to confirm the permit for your job with City Hall and to give you the permit number.

What makes a Melissa roofing company worth hiring?

Start with the city: ask whether the company is registered with Melissa for this calendar year. Then compare at least two written estimates that list materials, decking repairs and cleanup, and ask for a liability certificate from the roofer's insurer. Texas does not license roofers, so these steps matter. Read how to check a Texas roofer.
