Roof Replacement in Austin: what we actually do
Twenty-seven years of Austin roof replacements means we have already seen what your house is hiding under the layers. Soft decking from the 2009 ice storm. Skip-sheathing on the 1920s Tarrytown and Pemberton Heights bungalows. Hail-bruised felt from the 2024 Travis County storms that hit Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville hardest. Every replacement starts with a full deck inspection. Every quote names what we find on it.
We install every system Central Texas climate is rated for. Architectural asphalt shingle for the workhorse install at the $8,000 to $18,000 range. Standing seam metal in 24-gauge G90 galvalume for the modern build and the long-haul homeowner. Concrete and clay tile for the Hill Country aesthetic on Westlake Hills and Bee Cave custom builds. DaVinci synthetic slate for the historic look on Tarrytown and Old Enfield restorations without the historic weight load. We hold the master tier with ICO, Decra, and DaVinci. Few crews in the Austin metro carry all three credentials.
Every install is the same family-built crew. No franchise teams. No subcontracted strangers on your property. Benny walks every estimate himself and is on every job site. The reason most Austin roofs that fail in year ten are because somebody else cut a corner on flashing or skipped the decking inspection. That does not happen here.
Complete tear-off to deck
Old shingle, old underlayment, old flashing all stripped. Every layer leaves in our dumpster, not on your driveway. Magnetic sweepers run twice across the lawn and beds before we leave.
Decking inspection and replacement
Soft, rotten, or hail-bruised decking gets replaced before the new system goes on top of it. We price it transparently if we find it and show you the photos. Skip-sheathing on historic Tarrytown and Old Enfield homes gets handled to current Austin code.
Synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge
Synthetic underlayment on every elevation. Ice and water shield laid in valleys and around every penetration. Drip edge on every eave and rake. Current Austin code on every job, regardless of which Central Texas city the home sits in.
New system installed to manufacturer spec
Architectural shingle, snap-lock standing seam, concealed-fastener metal, concrete tile, clay tile, DaVinci synthetic slate. You pick the system from samples on your driveway. We install it to the exact manufacturer specification that makes the full warranty register.
Two-person sign-off and warranty registration
Final inspection signed by two crew leads. Photos to your file. Manufacturer warranty registered in your name before our truck leaves the property. We do not leave the warranty for the homeowner to chase.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Austin in 2026?
A complete asphalt shingle roof replacement in Austin runs $8,000 to $18,000 for a typical 2,000 to 2,500 square foot home. Standing seam metal in 24-gauge G90 galvalume runs $14,000 to $28,000. Concrete tile, clay tile, and DaVinci synthetic slate run $24,000 to $48,000. The average Austin home with architectural shingle lands at $12,000 to $15,000 installed. Final price depends on roof pitch, complexity, decking condition, and which manufacturer line you choose.
How long does a roof replacement take in Austin?
Most Austin asphalt shingle roofs install in one to two days. Standing seam metal runs two to four days because every panel is cut to length on site. Concrete and clay tile take three to five days. DaVinci synthetic slate takes three to five days. Weather, decking repair, and complex multi-elevation geometry can extend the schedule. We tell you the day count at the quote and we hit it.
Will my Austin homeowners insurance cover the replacement?
If the damage is from a covered storm event such as hail, wind, or fallen debris, most Texas homeowners insurance covers a roof replacement minus your deductible. We file the supplements, photograph every damage point in 10 square foot test squares, and meet your State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, or other adjuster on the roof. About eighty percent of our hail damage replacements close insurance-covered minus deductible.
Do I need to be home during the install?
No. We coordinate driveway and gate access ahead of time, work around your routine, and you can leave for work or run errands. We text you photos at every milestone and call before we leave the property. If you would rather be present, that is welcome too.
What happens to my landscaping, gutters, AC unit, and pool?
Heavy tarps cover every flower bed, AC condenser, pool, hot tub, and outdoor furniture the night before. Plywood goes against any glass or solar panels. Magnetic sweepers run at mid-install and at close-out so no nails get left behind. Gutters get debris-cleaned as part of the price. If we damage anything, we fix it on our dime.
What warranty comes with the new roof?
Manufacturer warranty runs 25 to 50 years on materials depending on the system, lifetime on the premium DaVinci and Decra tiers. Our written workmanship warranty runs ten years on labor and is transferable once to the next owner. Both are registered in your name the day we finish and emailed to you before we leave the property.
Why is Austin Area Roofers different from the big franchise roofers?
No franchise. No salesmen. No subcontracted strangers. The same family-built crew that has worked the Austin metro for twenty-seven years walks every estimate and runs every install. Benny is on every job site. Master tier certifications on ICO, Decra, and DaVinci. Few crews in Central Texas hold all three. That is the entire difference.
