Public Records Check
- Locally Regulated Texas doesn't issue a statewide roofing license - roofing is regulated locally through city or county permits, so there is no state license to verify. We don't count this against Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing. Confirm any local permit or registration with the city or county where the work will take place.
- Missing Corporation Our automated search didn't find a registered business entity for Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing with the Texas Secretary of State. That doesn't mean the company isn't legitimate. Many roofers operate legally as sole proprietorships, which don't require registration, and a registered business can be filed under a different name, formed in another state, or created too recently for us to match. To confirm how the business is structured, ask the contractor or search the Texas Secretary of State directly.
- Business Address Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing's listed address at 19422B Hwy 6, Manvel, TX 77578 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
- 0 Credentials Our automated search didn't find a manufacturer certification for Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing. Many reputable roofers aren't certified by any manufacturer, often by choice, so this isn't a sign of a problem. If a manufacturer-backed warranty matters to you, ask the contractor which certifications they carry.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Ernie Smith & Sons Roofing (Google, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 4.9 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A high average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.

Most reviewers praise Ernie Smith and Sons for roof replacement and repair work, with several customers reporting fast, professional service completed in a single day. Multiple reviewers highlight positive interactions with specific staff members, including assistance with insurance claims and financing options. Several customers describe the crew as hardworking, courteous, and communicative throughout projects. Reviewers note attention to detail, such as matching shingles to originals and providing progress photos. However, one reviewer reports a significant installation error where a screened attic vent was placed over a dryer exhaust, creating a fire hazard per building code. The reviewer states the company initially denied responsibility but eventually provided free labor to fix it, though the customer paid $80 out-of-pocket for proper materials. Another reviewer expresses frustration with delayed communication, stating the company responded quickly to positive feedback but ignored texts about issues for days or weeks.
