The cost of a new roof depends on size, materials, and installation complexity. We provide free estimates and solutions that fit your budget.

Yes, for many homeowners, they are a smart investment. Class III and IV shingles are designed to withstand better against hail and severe weather, which we experience frequently in Central Texas. They may cost more initially, but the longer lifespan and potential insurance savings can make them worthwhile in the long run.

It does. Darker shingles absorb more heat, which can make your attic and home warmer in summer. Lighter colors reflect more sunlight, helping keep cooling costs down. Choosing the right color can be one way to strike a balance between energy efficiency and curb appeal.

Good ventilation helps your roof and attic “breathe.” It reduces heat buildup, prevents moisture damage, and helps shingles last longer. Signs of poor ventilation include hot upper rooms, musty odors in the attic, or high energy bills. A roof inspection is the best way to confirm if your ventilation system is working properly.

Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years, depending on the type of shingle, the quality of installation, and local weather conditions. Severe storms or extreme heat in Texas may shorten that time frame.

Roof issues often start at vulnerable points—such as flashing, valleys, or spots around chimneys and skylights. Regularly inspecting these areas can help address minor concerns before they turn into costly repairs.

Metal roofs are very durable. With proper installation and maintenance, they can last 40–70 years, especially higher-end options like standing seam systems. This lifespan is significantly longer than most shingle roofs.

Many insurance providers are updating their policies to reduce coverage on older roofs. For example, after 15 years, they may pay only for the roof’s current value instead of full replacement cost, or may not renew coverage at all. Staying informed about your policy and the age of your roof helps you avoid surprises if a claim is needed.

Flashing protects some of the most leak-prone areas of your roof. Reusing old flashing during a re-roof can leave weak spots behind. Replacing it ensures the new roof system is fully sealed and protected.

Yes. Texas law requires homeowners to pay their insurance deductible when filing a claim. It’s important to know that any contractor who offers to “waive” your deductible is not following the law.

The cost depends on the size of your home, the roofing material you choose, and the scope of work involved. Asphalt shingles are generally less expensive, while metal or impact-resistant shingles cost more but last longer. 

Here is a general breakdown of average roof costs:

• Asphalt shingles: $5,000–$12,000+ (more affordable, lasts 20–30 years)
• Impact-resistant shingles: $8,000–$16,000+ (higher durability, may qualify for insurance discounts)
• Metal roofing: $15,000–$40,000+ (lasts 40–70 years with minimal maintenance)

Storm activity varies across the Austin area. South Austin ZIP codes, such as 78749, typically experience fewer major hail events compared to areas north and east, including Round Rock (78717), Leander, Cedar Park, and Mueller (78723). Even so, hail can be unpredictable, which makes regular roof inspections a smart step after any severe weather.
