Roof Replacement in Bastrop, TX
Why Bastrop roofs are different.
Bastrop sits 32 miles east of downtown Austin, in Bastrop County along Highway 71. Historic downtown dates to 1832, with a mix of historic-adjacent homes and 2000-2015 tract growth in Colovista, Tahitian Village, and The Colony. The 2011 Bastrop County Complex wildfire burned 1,650 homes and reshaped local building code around fire-resistant roofing systems · Class A fire-rated roofs are strongly recommended and often required. The April 2024 hail event dropped 2-inch stones across parts of 78602, and insurance-driven replacements are still active in Colovista.
The roof types we install across Bastrop
From 24 months of Bastrop jobs we've built a clear picture of what's on the roofs here and what gets replaced. The mix:
- 68% architectural asphalt · dominant on 2000-2015 Bastrop tract builds hitting first-replacement age
- 14% 3-tab asphalt (legacy) · older Bastrop sections and historic-adjacent parcels still on original 3-tab past useful life
- 9% standing seam metal · traditional Texas farmhouse material · common on Colovista and larger-lot properties along the Colorado River
- 4% concrete tile · small share on higher-end Colovista customs
- 3% Decra stone-coated steel · small share on replacements
- 2% cedar shake (legacy) · grandfathered on original 1970s-80s historic-adjacent Bastrop homes · being phased out

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.

Bastrop insurance claims · what we see on roofs out here
The April 2024 hail storm dropped 2.0-inch stones across 78602 and triggered the wave of insurance-funded roof replacements that's still active in 2026. We document damage to underwriter standard · photographs of every hit, measurement of strike density per square, attic interior inspection for daylight or moisture intrusion. We meet adjusters on the roof and file supplements when they miss items. About 80% of our Bastrop hail-driven roof replacements close insurance-covered after the homeowner's deductible.
Bastrop-specific watchpoints when filing: roofs in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI-1) zone may require Class A fire-rated systems on rebuilds over 50% structural change · ignore that in the claim and the supplement becomes a fight. Lake Travis frontage homes have additional code stipulations around gutter routing and lighter color reflectance per local conservation guidelines · those get baked into our scope from job one.
