When Austin's scorching summers and violent hailstorms take their toll, a full roof replacement becomes necessary. We specialize in complete tear-offs and installations using materials specifically rated for Central Texas conditions.
Our process begins with inspecting your roof deck for water damage - especially crucial in older Central Austin homes where leaks often go undetected. We then install high-temperature ice/water shield along eaves and valleys, a critical step given Austin's sudden downpours. For the main roofing material, we recommend impact-resistant architectural shingles (Class 4 rating) or standing seam metal roofs - both proven performers against Williamson County hail.
Unlike some contractors who rush through installations, we take extra care with flashing details around chimneys and vents - common leak points in Austin's historic neighborhoods. Every replacement includes proper attic ventilation to combat our extreme heat and prevent premature aging of materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a full replacement vs. repairs?
We recommend replacement when shingles show widespread curling/cracking, multiple leaks exist, or you're approaching 20+ years on an asphalt roof - common in older Austin neighborhoods like Barton Hills.
What roofing materials work best in Georgetown's climate?
For historic Victorian homes, we often use dimensional shingles that complement the architecture while providing modern protection. Metal roofs also perform well and last 50+ years in our heat.
How long does a typical Austin roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes take 2-3 days. We monitor weather closely and pause work if storms approach - your safety and our crew's come first.
