A roof in Austin doesn't just sit there. It bakes in 100-degree summers, takes hail in the spring, and wakes up to driving rain in the fall. Replacing it well, with the right materials and the right crew, is the difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year one. That's what we do.
Roofing services we install in Austin
- Architectural asphalt shingles: the standard for Austin homes. We install Class 4 impact-rated shingles wherever insurance discounts apply.
- Standing-seam metal roofs: 40+ year lifespan, reflects heat, looks incredible on Hill Country homes.
- Synthetic underlayment + ice-and-water shield: every roof gets the right base, not the cheapest one.
- Storm-damage repair: hail, wind, fallen limb, leak. Free inspection, honest assessment.
- Re-roofs & full tear-offs: we don't roof over old layers; we tear off, inspect the decking, and start fresh.
- Gutters, ridge vents, and soffit/fascia work: the parts most contractors forget about.

If there's damage, we document it with photos and work directly with your adjuster so the scope reflects what's actually needed. If there's no real damage, we tell you that too.

How much does a new roof cost in Austin?
An asphalt shingle roof replacement in Austin typically runs $4.50 to $7 per square foot installed. A metal standing-seam roof runs $11 to $18 per square foot. Final pricing depends on the size and pitch of your roof, tear-off complexity, decking condition, and underlayment choice. We always provide a free roof inspection and line-itemed estimate.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage roofs?
Yes. After hail or high-wind storms in the Austin area, we offer free inspections, document the damage with photos, and work directly with your insurance adjuster to make sure the scope and pricing reflect what's actually needed. We do not pressure homeowners to file claims they don't need.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements on a typical Austin home are completed in 1 to 2 days. Larger or more complex roofs, or metal roof installs, can take 2 to 4 days. We always set the schedule with you in advance and text daily progress updates.
Do I need to replace my whole roof or can I repair it?
It depends on age, scope of damage, and the underlayment condition. Roofs under 10 years old with isolated damage can usually be repaired. Roofs 15+ years old, with widespread hail bruising, missing shingles, or visible underlayment damage typically need full replacement. We give you an honest read after a free inspection. We never up-sell what isn't there.
What roofing materials work best in the Texas Hill Country?
Architectural asphalt shingles (Class 4 impact-rated) are the most common and offer good hail resistance. Standing-seam metal roofs last 40+ years, reflect heat, and qualify for insurance discounts in many policies. Concrete tile and synthetic slate are also good choices for higher-end Hill Country builds. We help you pick based on look, budget, and how long you want to live in the home.
