Short answer: As of October 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the College Station-Bryan, TX metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are State Roofing Company, Inc. (89.7), Schulte Roofing (88.1), Spire Roofing Solutions (76.2), Done Right Roofing & General Construction (68.0), EV Roofing & Construction (67.1). All of them carry a verifiable manufacturer certification, every rating here was cross-checked against an independent record, and no money changed hands for any placement.
The Roofing Brief scored 8 certified roofing contractors serving the College Station metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. College Station is 65.4 percent renter-occupied, and that single number explains more about this roofing market than anything in the storm record. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so the city built its own gate: a roofer must register with the City of College Station before a building permit will issue, and the registration is $80 while the reroof permit is a flat $95. Because there is no state licence to file, registration plus a certificate of insurance is the entire local vetting. The one real credential available is the voluntary RCAT licence, and only four roofing firms with a Bryan or College Station address hold it. Two of them are ranked below.
Hail, codes and what they cost a College Station homeowner
The hail record here is moderate in frequency and large at the top end. Across 2016 to 2025 Brazos, Burleson and Robertson counties logged 132 hail reports, 115 of them at an inch or more and 9 at two inches or more, against 113 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 14 tornadoes. The largest stones were 4.25 inches, reported twice on 18 March 2018 at Caldwell and Caldwell Municipal Airport in Burleson County, with 3.00 inches over College Station the same afternoon, and 2.75 inches at College Station and Easterwood Field on 8 April 2021. The strongest tornado was an EF3 on 13 April 2019 that crossed the Brazos River into Robertson County on a 29.81-mile path a quarter of a mile wide. March is the peak month by report count, ahead of April and May, which is early even by Texas standards.
The permit position is clear and the city states it plainly: reroofing of residential structures requires a building permit when replacing shingles, or replacing decking and shingles. A homeowner may do the work on their own homestead without registering as a contractor but must still pull the permit, and if a contractor is used, that contractor must be registered with the City of College Station. All materials used for residential reroofing must carry a minimum Class C fire rating. The fees are flat rather than valuation-based: $95 for a single-family or duplex reroof, $190 for multi-family or commercial, and $80 for contractor registration, on the fee schedule updated 29 September 2025. Inside Bryan city limits the rule is the same in substance, with the roofing contractor responsible for obtaining the permit through the city’s Citizenserve portal and a final inspection required.
The code moved recently and it is worth knowing which edition your quote was written against. The 13 November 2025 City Council item records that College Station was on the 2021 I-Codes and the 2020 National Electrical Code, and adopted the 2024 I-Codes and the 2023 NEC with an effective date of 1 January 2026, on a unanimous recommendation from the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals of 28 October 2025. The city’s building code ordinance also amends Section 105 to add 105.1.3, the contractor registration requirement, with an exception for homeowner permits under local amendment R105.2.4.
On the deductible, the law is widely misquoted and the distinction matters if a contractor offers to absorb yours. HB 2102 of the 86th Legislature, effective 1 September 2019, added Insurance Code chapter 707, but chapter 707 binds the policyholder, not the roofer: section 707.002 provides that a person insured under a property insurance policy shall pay any deductible applicable to a first-party claim. The prohibition that binds the contractor is in Business and Commerce Code section 27.02(c), amended by the same Act, under which a seller of goods or services commits an offence if, without the insurer’s consent, they pay, waive, absorb or otherwise decline to charge or collect the deductible, provide a rebate or credit offsetting it, or in any other manner assist the insured in avoiding monetary payment of it. Section 27.02(d) makes that a Class B misdemeanour. Section 27.02(b) also requires a specific notice in at least 12-point boldfaced type on any contract of $1,000 or more expected to be paid from insurance proceeds, so if your contract does not carry it, the contractor is not complying with the statute they are quoting at you.

1. State Roofing Company, Inc. — TRB Score 89.7
State Roofing Company, Inc. is based in College Station, TX, in business since 1998, led by John Giffin, Owner; Natalie Giffin and Josh Sebesta, business managers, BBB accredited since January 2020, A+ rating, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: President’s Club (GAF), Two RCAT Commercial & Residential Roofing licences, #03-0169 and #03-0725, verified in RCAT’s licensed-contractor directory. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

Independently corroborated:
- Holds two Commercial & Residential Roofing licences, #03-0169 in the name of J. Giffin and #03-0725 in the name of J. Sebesta, and has been an RCAT member since 2001. One of only four roofing firms with a Bryan or College Station address on RCAT’s list of licensed contractors.. Roofing Contractors Association of Texas licensed-contractor directory
- Accredited with an A+ rating since January 2020 at the Raymond Stotzer Pkwy address, with John Giffin as owner.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Residential roofing, commercial roofing, metal roofing, tile roofing, flat roofing, insurance claim work.
Why it ranks here. The top score in the metro, and the firm with the strongest verifiable credential position. It holds two RCAT Commercial and Residential licences, in two different names, and has been an RCAT member since 2001, longer than any other firm here, in a state where that voluntary licence is the only roofing credential in existence. Trading since 1998 with offices in College Station and Houston, it is also one of only two firms on this page documenting tile roofing and the only one documenting tile, metal and flat together.
Best fit for: Tile and metal roofs, flat sections, and anyone who wants the only real roofing credential available in Texas held by more than one person in the firm.
What we would want clarified. Its 50 reviews are a modest base, and a 4.8 over 50 carries much less information than the same figure over 200. Its own site claims both GAF Master Elite and a GAF President’s Club residential award, which is a self-report that we could not confirm because the manufacturer’s directory refused our requests. We could not verify its City of College Station or City of Bryan contractor registration status, which matters here because registration is the gate on your permit, so ask for it. BBB files it under Roofing Consultants rather than Roofing Contractors, which is a categorisation quirk rather than a finding. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (979) 260-7663, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Schulte Roofing — TRB Score 88.1
Schulte Roofing is based in College Station, TX, in business since 1994, led by David Schulte is the owner of record at BBB; the company’s own site describes Josh Schulte as leading it since 2020, BBB accredited since July 2003, A+ rating, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.

Independently corroborated:
- Founded December 1994, accredited with an A+ rating since July 2003, with David Schulte as owner of record.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Residential roofing, commercial roofing, sheet metal fabrication, siding, gutters, roof cleaning.
Why it ranks here. Thirty-one years old, with BBB accreditation running back to July 2003, the longest in this metro, and the only firm here operating its own sheet metal fabrication. In a market where the reroof specification is often where corners get cut, a contractor that makes its own flashing, valley metal and drip edge is one that can do those details properly rather than fit whatever the supply house stocked. It carries 4.7 across 80 reviews, the second deepest base here.
Best fit for: Custom flashing and metal detail work, and anyone weighting three decades of unbroken BBB accreditation.
What we would want clarified. Its registered headquarters is in Navasota, Grimes County, not College Station, though it maintains a College Station office on Texas Avenue South, so confirm which office runs your job. It does not appear in the RCAT member directory and holds no RCAT roofing licence, which is voluntary rather than required but is the only credential available. Ownership is unclear: BBB still lists David Schulte while the company’s own site describes Josh Schulte as leading it since 2020. Its GAF tier is self-reported, and we could not verify its College Station or Bryan contractor registration status. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

3. Spire Roofing Solutions — TRB Score 76.2
Spire Roofing Solutions is based in College Station, TX, in business since 2020, led by Shannon Howell, Owner, BBB accredited since May 2021, A+ rating, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Certified (GAF), RCAT Commercial & Residential Roofing licence #03-0602, verified in RCAT’s licensed-contractor directory. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

- Started and incorporated 2 September 2020, accredited with an A+ rating since May 2021, with Shannon Howell as owner.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Residential roofing, commercial roofing, metal roofing, low-slope roofing, gutters, siding, windows, insurance claim work.
Why it ranks here. Much the deepest review base in the metro, a 5.0 across 221 reviews, from a firm barely five years old, and it holds the RCAT licence, which puts it in the four-firm minority in this market with a real credential. Two independent registries agree on its founding to within a day, RCAT at 3 September 2020 and BBB at 2 September 2020, which is a small thing that happens to be rare on these pages. It documents low-slope alongside metal and shingle.
Best fit for: A straightforward replacement where the volume and consistency of recent consumer feedback is what you are buying, with the RCAT licence behind it.
What we would want clarified. It holds base-tier GAF certification rather than one of the upper tiers, which is why it ranks third on our formula despite the strongest review record on the page. Five years is a short trading history against the two firms above it, and a warranty is only as good as the company still being there. We could not verify its City of College Station or City of Bryan contractor registration status, and its GAF tier is unverified because the manufacturer’s directory refused our requests. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

4. Done Right Roofing & General Construction — TRB Score 68.0
Done Right Roofing & General Construction is based in Milano, TX, in business since 1999, led by Bill Silvey, Director; Kerry Silvey, co-owner and office manager; Joey Hartley, operations manager, BBB accredited since January 2007, A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

- An RCAT member since 2011 in the Residential category, listed at Milano in Milam County. The listing shows no roofing licence number and the company is absent from RCAT’s list of licensed contractors.. Roofing Contractors Association of Texas directory
What they actually do. Residential roofing, commercial roofing, storm damage restoration, insurance claim work, general construction.
Why it ranks here. Twenty-six years in business with BBB accreditation since January 2007, the longest tenure in this metro, and three named principals, which is more transparency about who runs the company than most firms here offer. It has been an RCAT member since 2011, the second longest membership on this page. It maintains a College Station address alongside its Milam County base, so it works inside the metro as well as outside it.
Best fit for: Storm restoration and insurance claim work from a long-established firm with named principals.
What we would want clarified. Be clear on the distinction its own records make plain: RCAT membership and the RCAT licence are separate things, and it has the first without the second. Its RCAT listing shows no licence number and it is absent from RCAT’s list of licensed contractors, where the two firms above it appear. Its 41 reviews are a thin base. Its base is Milano, in Milam County, well outside the metro, with the College Station address being its BBB registration. We could not read its own website at all, because donerightroofing.net refused the connection on repeated attempts, so we could not check its own account of its services or warranty. Its GAF tier is self-reported, and we could not verify its city registration status. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

EV Roofing & Construction is based in Bryan, TX, led by Victor C. Valdez, owner, director and registered agent, BBB accredited since 2019, A+ rating, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Accredited since 2019 with an A+ rating, with a service area of a 50 mile radius of Bryan.. BBB business profile
- Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, membership 231334, at W 14th Street, Bryan.. Owens Corning contractor network
What they actually do. Roofing, custom homes, concrete and patios.
Why it ranks here. A Bryan firm inside the metro with a 5.0 across 32 reviews, BBB accreditation at A+ since 2019, a confirmed Texas entity and a listing in a second manufacturer network, Owens Corning, which few College Station firms hold.
Best fit for: Bryan addresses, and roofs bundled with other building work.
What we would want clarified. It now markets itself as a Brazos Valley general contractor and building company, with roofing one of four headline trades alongside custom homes, concrete and patios, so it is not a roofing specialist. It holds no RCAT licence. Its founding year is unclear, with BBB recording incorporation in 2016 and the LLC dating from February 2020. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

The 115 hail reports behind a College Station roof
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 3 counties of the College Station-Bryan, TX statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 132 hail reports, 113 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 14 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $8.4 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on College Station in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 March 2018 | 4.25 in | Burleson | Burleson |
| 18 March 2018 | 4.25 in | Caldwell | Burleson |
| 18 March 2018 | 3.0 in | College Station | Brazos |
| 8 April 2021 | 2.75 in | Brazos | Brazos |
| 8 April 2021 | 2.75 in | College Station | Brazos |
| 1 May 2025 | 2.0 in | Owensville | Robertson |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 18 March 2018 near Burleson, measured at 4.25 inches. That is grapefruit sized. Stones that big destroy asphalt shingles outright, dent metal, crack tile and routinely total roofs across whole neighbourhoods.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 74 knots, about 85 mph, near College Station on 3 June 2023. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 14 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF3 near Hearne Muni Arpt on 13 April 2019.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 3 June 2023 event near College Station, reproduced verbatim:
A 74 knot wind gust was measured at the Kyle Field mesonet station on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station. Sensor is elevated at 340 feet.
That is the kind of damage a roof in this metro has to be specified against, described by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in March (79), April (60), May (48). The worst years on record were 2025 (46), 2020 (35), 2023 (35). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in College Station, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. College Station sees enough damaging hail that a Class 4 impact-rated shingle is worth pricing, though not automatically worth buying. Get both quotes and weigh the premium against any insurance discount.
Who actually buys a roof in a town that is two thirds rented
College Station is 65.4 percent renter-occupied: 33,140 renter-occupied units against 17,545 owner-occupied, out of 50,685 occupied units, with Brazos County as a whole at 53.3 percent. That alone would not matter much for roofing if the rentals were all purpose-built flats. They are not. In Brazos County 11,125 single-family detached houses are renter-occupied against 36,386 owner-occupied, so 23.4 percent of all occupied detached houses in the county are rentals. In the city it is 5,640 of 20,353 detached houses, 27.7 percent, plus a further 2,860 renter-occupied single-family attached units. Something close to a quarter of the houses in this market are roofs bought by somebody who will never live under them.
The timing compounds it. Brazos County’s median year built is 2000 and College Station’s is 2002, so a very large share of the stock is now 24 to 26 years old, which is precisely the window in which a first-generation builder-grade shingle roof reaches the end of its service life. And this stock gets hit: 115 hail reports of an inch or more in a decade, with 3.00 inch stones over College Station on 18 March 2018 and 2.75 inch stones over the city and Easterwood Field on 8 April 2021. A large cohort of roofs is reaching replacement age at the same time, in a hail market, under divided ownership.
The asymmetry that follows is structural rather than a matter of anyone’s bad character. A landlord replacing a roof on a let house carries the capital cost and almost none of the consequences of a marginal job. The tenant reports the leak, the tenant lives with the attic heat, and the tenant moves out in twelve months. That pushes specification toward the lowest compliant number, and what gets taken out is predictable and, once the job is finished, mostly invisible from the kerb: three-tab or entry-level architectural shingle in place of a heavier laminate, the thinnest permitted underlayment or felt where synthetic was quoted, reuse of existing pipe boots, step flashing and valley metal rather than new, no self-adhered membrane in the valleys or at the eaves, existing drip edge left in place, and deck repairs deferred.
If you are a homeowner here, the practical consequence is that the market you are shopping in has been trained on a different buyer. A quote that looks competitive may be a specification written for a rental, and the way to find out is to make the invisible items explicit. Ask what underlayment, by product name and weight. Ask whether pipe boots, step flashing, valley metal and drip edge are new or reused, and have it written down. Ask what happens if the deck is rotten, and at what price per sheet. Ask whether the shingle is three-tab or laminate and what its wind rating is. None of those questions is adversarial and all of them are answerable in a sentence.
If you are a landlord, there is an argument the other way worth putting plainly: in a 24-to-26-year-old stock in a hail market, the items usually value-engineered out are the ones that decide whether the roof survives to its warranted life or generates a claim, a dispute and a vacancy. New boots and flashings are a small fraction of a reroof and they are where most leaks in this stock begin. And note the fire rating requirement the city imposes, a minimum Class C on all materials used for residential reroofing, which is a floor rather than a target.

What to verify before a College Station contractor starts
There is no state roofing licence in TX. Texas does not issue or require a state roofing contractor licence. There is no state exam, no state licence number to check, and no state board that can discipline a roofer.
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) runs a voluntary Licensed Roofing Contractor program requiring two years of Texas experience, a fixed business address, a business and safety exam and a roofing exam at 70% or better, and at least $300,000 general liability insurance for residential work or a $100,000 surety bond.
That absence is the most important fact on this page. Where a state issues no credential, a manufacturer certification that can be revoked is the only quality signal a homeowner can actually check, which is why this ranking is built on certification rather than star ratings.
Check here: RCAT licensed contractor lookup. Many Texas cities still require roofers to register with the municipality and pull a permit, so check with the city building department where the work will happen.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
The College Station market behind this ranking
8 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the College Station-Bryan, TX statistical area, of which 2 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 665 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.89. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 287,462, a change of 7.16% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these College Station rankings were produced
Every contractor in the College Station-Bryan, TX pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 8 certified contractors, of whom 2 hold President’s Club standing and 1 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.89. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. Good and bad findings are published together, and no contractor paid for a place here.
Set aside in College Station. Contractors that would otherwise have scored into the top five were removed for the reason stated. The score is computed from public data, but where the research pass finds evidence undermining an input to that score, the score is set aside.
- BB Roofing & Exteriors LLC, which scored 73.6: Excluded because it does not serve this metro. Its own Areas We Serve page lists Spring, North Houston, Houston, The Woodlands, Cypress, Fulshear, Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Magnolia, Humble, Katy and Montgomery, and describes the company as serving the northern and western portions of the Greater Houston area. Neither College Station, nor Bryan, nor Brazos County appears anywhere in that published service area, and the page’s only qualification is a general invitation to submit an unlisted ZIP code. It is a Montgomery County LLC started in May 2021 under managing member Brandon Yniguez, BBB accredited at A+ since December 2024, and nothing here reflects on its work in the market it does serve. It appears in the directory for this metro because the manufacturer’s listing reaches further than the company does.
- Mattco Roofing and Construction, which scored 77.8: Excluded because it does not appear to sell what a reader of this page is buying. Its own website presents the business as a commercial, multi-family, industrial and institutional roofing contractor serving Texas including Houston, Austin, Waco and Dallas, with preventative maintenance as a named service line and no residential offering described. We could not establish that it performs residential reroofing for homeowners at all. It is a real College Station business, started in May 2019 and owned by Lydia Quartaro with Matthew Quartaro as co-founder, and it would plainly belong on a page about commercial roofing. It is not BBB accredited, although BBB assigns it an A+ rating, its two published addresses differ between BBB and its own site, and its 13 reviews are the thinnest in the pool. It does not appear in the RCAT member directory.

How many certified roofing contractors serve College Station?

How much damaging hail does College Station get?
The College Station-Bryan, TX statistical area recorded 115 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 9 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 4.25 inches.
Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.
What was the worst hailstorm in College Station in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the College Station-Bryan, TX statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 4.25 inches, reported near Burleson on 18 March 2018. That is grapefruit sized. Stones that big destroy asphalt shingles outright, dent metal, crack tile and routinely total roofs across whole neighbourhoods. Across the decade the metro recorded 132 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $8.4 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in College Station?
Severe-weather reports in the College Station-Bryan, TX statistical area cluster in March, April, May, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. Scheduling discretionary work away from that window tends to get you a better crew and a faster start, because nobody is juggling emergency callouts.
Do roofers need a licence in TX?
Texas does not issue or require a state roofing contractor licence. There is no state exam, no state licence number to check, and no state board that can discipline a roofer. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) runs a voluntary Licensed Roofing Contractor program requiring two years of Texas experience, a fixed business address, a business and safety exam and a roofing exam at 70% or better, and at least $300,000 general liability insurance for residential work or a $100,000 surety bond.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in College Station?
Many Texas cities still require roofers to register with the municipality and pull a permit, so check with the city building department where the work will happen.
Who actually buys a roof in a town that is two thirds rented?
College Station is 65.4 percent renter-occupied: 33,140 renter-occupied units against 17,545 owner-occupied, out of 50,685 occupied units, with Brazos County as a whole at 53.3 percent. That alone would not matter much for roofing if the rentals were all purpose-built flats. They are not. In Brazos County 11,125 single-family detached houses are renter-occupied against 36,386 owner-occupied, so 23.4 percent of all occupied detached houses in the county are rentals. In the city it is 5,640 of 20,353 detached houses, 27.7 percent, plus a further 2,860 renter-occupied single-family attached units. Something close to a quarter of the houses in this market are roofs bought by somebody who will never live under them.
Is College Station a hard market to find a good roofer in?
College Station is 65.4 percent renter-occupied, and that single number explains more about this roofing market than anything in the storm record. Texas issues no state roofing licence, so the city built its own gate: a roofer must register with the City of College Station before a building permit will issue, and the registration is $80 while the reroof permit is a flat $95. Because there is no state licence to file, registration plus a certificate of insurance is the entire local vetting. The one real credential available is the voluntary RCAT licence, and only four roofing firms with a Bryan or College Station address hold it. Two of them are ranked below.
Why is BB Roofing & Exteriors LLC not on this list?
Excluded because it does not serve this metro. Its own Areas We Serve page lists Spring, North Houston, Houston, The Woodlands, Cypress, Fulshear, Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Magnolia, Humble, Katy and Montgomery, and describes the company as serving the northern and western portions of the Greater Houston area. Neither College Station, nor Bryan, nor Brazos County appears anywhere in that published service area, and the page’s only qualification is a general invitation to submit an unlisted ZIP code. It is a Montgomery County LLC started in May 2021 under managing member Brandon Yniguez, BBB accredited at A+ since December 2024, and nothing here reflects on its work in the market it does serve. It appears in the directory for this metro because the manufacturer’s listing reaches further than the company does..
