This is the Austin page for roof replacement. The short version: you want a firm number for a new roof without a sales visit, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteMetal roofs shrug off hail punctures but can dent cosmetically, and several Texas carriers now exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check before you switch. Hail season runs March through June with a fall echo, and the claim-filing window is measured from the storm date, so keep the date of every event that hit your street. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Austin: a full replacement on a typical single-family home runs from the low five figures for architectural shingle to several times that for standing-seam metal or concrete tile — the pitch, number of layers coming off, and decking condition move the number more than square footage does.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value.
How it works
No. You need to move cars out of the driveway and take fragile items off walls, but a tear-off and install is an outdoor job. Most single-family homes are done in one to two days.
Usually, and sometimes dramatically. Ask the quote to include the documentation your carrier needs — in Florida that's a wind mitigation form, in Texas it's the impact-rated shingle certification.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value. Austin is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
