Roof replacement, water heater swaps, electrical panel work, and structural changes typically require permits in most Texas municipalities, while like-for-like minor repairs often don't. Permit rules and fees vary by city and county, so confirm with the local building department — and make sure whoever you hire includes permitting in their written scope rather than leaving it to you.

Verify the license number with the Texas licensing authority, ask for a current certificate of insurance naming general liability and workers' compensation, and get references from jobs completed in the Mcallen area within the last year. A reputable pro provides all three without hesitation.
