Austin has two very different kinds of roofs, and repairs look different on each. In central neighborhoods like Allandale, Crestview, Hyde Park and Tarrytown, many homes date to the 1950s through 1970s and are on their second or third roof, so the trouble spots are tired flashing, low-slope additions and shingles laid over an earlier layer. In the 1990s to 2010s suburbs, from Circle C Ranch to Avery Ranch and Wells Branch, the roofs are younger and the calls are mostly wind, hail and worn-out accessories. Our roof repair crews handle both every week:
- Pipe boots and vent collars split by the sun, the most common source of a ceiling stain on a roof 10 to 15 years old.
- Chimney, sidewall and skylight flashing, often carried through more than one roof on older central Austin homes.
- Wind-lifted or missing shingles along ridges and eaves after a spring front.
- Hail bruising confined to one slope, where a partial repair is cheaper and just as sound as replacing the whole roof.
Every repair starts with a free in-person inspection, with photos and a written summary, then a fixed price. Guaranteed pricing means the quote does not grow once the shingles come up. Typical numbers are in how much roof repair costs in Central Texas.
Roof Replacement in Austin
Replacement makes sense when the shingles are failing everywhere at once: granule loss on every slope, hail across most of the roof, or repairs that keep moving to a new spot. If the roof is already two layers deep, a full tear-off is the only sound option; our reroofing vs roof replacement guide explains why a third layer is never the answer.
What we install. Most Austin homeowners replace with architectural asphalt shingles, and as a GAF Master Elite contractor we install GAF systems with the warranty tiers to match. If hail is your worry, ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (UL 2218); many insurers offer a premium discount for them, so check with your carrier.
What it costs in Austin. Per our Instant Roof Cost Calculator, asphalt shingle systems start around $368 to $649 per square installed depending on tier, and metal about $1,150 to $1,470 per square. A square is 100 square feet. Two-story homes and steep pitches cost more. Our new roof cost in Austin, Texas article has the full breakdown, and the process is on our roof replacement page.
Hail and Storm Damage in Austin
Central Texas hail season runs roughly March through June, with a second round of fall storms. Austin is big enough that one storm can hammer the north side and leave south Austin untouched. Our Central Texas hail history page tracks what has come through the region, and what hail damage looks like shows what to check from the ground.
Your first moves. Look for dented gutters and downspouts, dimpled AC fins, granules piled where downspouts drain, and shingle pieces in the yard. Photograph everything with the date. Then book a free inspection before you call your carrier; a hail inspection from us includes the insurance-claim documentation, so you know whether there is enough damage to justify a claim before you open one.
How Texas rules protect you. You file the claim, and you choose the roofer; your carrier cannot require a specific contractor. A roofer cannot legally waive or pay your deductible in Texas (HB 2102, 2019), so any crew that offers to is offering fraud. We document the damage, meet the adjuster on the roof and review the approved scope. See our insurance process, will insurance pay for my roof, or start at storm and hail damage.
Emergency Roof Repair in Austin
A leak at nine at night does not wait for office hours. Our emergency roof repair line is answered 24/7 at (512) 388-7663. When we arrive we stop the water first, usually with a tarp or temporary patch, then inspect in daylight and quote the permanent repair as a guaranteed price. Our office is in Round Rock, about 25 to 40 minutes from most Austin neighborhoods depending on traffic.
Commercial and Metal Roofing in Austin
Commercial roofing. Many Austin commercial buildings have flat or low-slope roofs, and we repair and replace them across Central Texas. Common systems are flat and low-slope membranes such as TPO and modified bitumen. We quote commercial work the way we quote a house: inspect first, then a fixed price. Call (512) 388-7663 to schedule a commercial inspection.
Metal roofing. Standing seam metal is a strong fit for Austin: it reflects summer heat, sheds hail better than asphalt, and typically lasts 40 to 60 years, often two asphalt roofs' worth. We install standing seam and metal shingle systems. Per our calculator, metal runs about $1,150 to $1,470 per square installed versus $368 to $649 for asphalt, and some Austin HOAs restrict metal or limit the finish, so check your guidelines first. See metal roofing and metal roof vs shingles.

Roofing Materials for Austin Homes
Architectural asphalt shingles are the default for most Austin homes: the best price, the widest HOA-approved color range, and Class 4 impact-resistant options for hail. In Texas heat an architectural roof typically lasts 20 to 30 years; 3-tab shingles run 15 to 20. See asphalt shingle roofing.
Metal costs two to three times as much per square but typically lasts 40 to 60 years and reflects heat through a 100F August. See metal roofing.
Solar shingles put a new roof and a power system on the house in one install, without the racked panels many HOAs push back on. We install GAF Timberline solar shingles; they make the most sense when the roof needs replacing anyway. See solar shingles.
Tile and flat sections. Tile typically lasts 50 years or more, but the underlayment beneath it does not, so tile leaks are often underlayment repairs. For a wider comparison read 5 popular roof types in Texas.
