Roofing Materials We Install

Asphalt Shingles

Our most popular choice for Austin homeowners combines affordability with proven performance against Texas heat and sudden hailstorms. These shingles feature enhanced UV resistance specifically designed for our intense sun exposure, with architectural options that boost curb appeal while maintaining excellent wind resistance up to 130 mph. We install premium asphalt shingles with 20-30 year warranties, and our crews have perfected installation techniques that maximize their lifespan in Austin’s challenging climate. The energy-efficient options we recommend can reduce cooling costs by up to 15% during those brutal summer months.

Modern asphalt shingles have evolved far beyond basic three-tab designs. We install dimensional shingles that mimic the look of slate or wood shake while providing superior weather protection and fire resistance. Our preferred installations include proper ventilation systems that prevent heat buildup—crucial for extending shingle life in Austin’s 100+ degree summers. With proper installation and our comprehensive warranty, these roofs consistently perform well through decades of Texas weather extremes.

Metal Roofing (Standing Seam, Steel, Aluminum)

Metal roofing represents the ultimate solution for Austin’s climate challenges, offering unmatched durability and energy efficiency that pays dividends year after year. Our standing seam installations create a virtually impenetrable barrier against wind-driven rain while reflecting up to 70% of solar heat—reducing cooling costs by $200-400 monthly during peak summer. We’ve installed metal roofs that have weathered 15+ years of Texas hailstorms without a single leak, backed by 30-50 year warranties depending on the metal type.

The energy savings alone often justify the investment within 8-10 years, while the longevity means most families never need another roof replacement. Our metal installations include specialized underlayments and ventilation systems optimized for Texas heat expansion. We work with premium steel and aluminum options that maintain their appearance and performance through decades of UV exposure, thermal cycling, and severe weather events that regularly challenge Austin-area roofs.

Clay/Concrete Tile

For homeowners seeking premium aesthetics with unmatched durability, tile roofing offers the perfect solution for Austin’s Spanish and Mediterranean architectural styles. These materials excel at reflecting heat while providing fire resistance and wind ratings up to 150 mph—essential for our storm-prone region. Our tile installations typically carry 50+ year warranties and often last well beyond that timeframe with minimal maintenance. The thermal mass properties help stabilize indoor temperatures, reducing HVAC workload during extreme weather swings.

We source premium clay and concrete tiles specifically rated for Texas climate conditions, including freeze-thaw resistance for those occasional winter freezes. Our installation crews understand the critical importance of proper underlayment and flashing details that ensure decades of leak-free performance. While tile requires a higher initial investment, the longevity and energy benefits make it one of the most cost-effective roofing choices over the roof’s lifetime.

Slate (Natural & Synthetic)

For the ultimate in longevity and prestige, slate roofing provides unmatched elegance and performance that can last over a century with proper installation. Our natural slate selections withstand Austin’s climate extremes while providing fire resistance and energy efficiency that surpasses most other materials. We also offer advanced synthetic slate options that capture the aesthetic appeal while reducing weight and installation complexity. Both options carry 50+ year warranties and provide exceptional resistance to hail, wind, and UV exposure.

Additional Materials We Install: We also provide Wood Shake, Single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM) for commercial applications, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up Roofs (BUR) depending on your specific project requirements and building type.

Roof Types We Specialize In

Gable Roof

The most common residential design in Austin, gable roofs excel at shedding rainwater quickly during our intense storms while providing excellent attic ventilation space. Our gable installations incorporate advanced ridge venting systems that capitalize on Texas wind patterns to maintain optimal attic temperatures. We’ve perfected the structural reinforcement techniques needed to handle both wind uplift during storms and thermal expansion during summer heat cycles.

Hip Roof

Hip roofs provide superior stability against Austin’s high winds and tornado activity, with aerodynamic design that reduces wind pressure. Our hip roof installations distribute structural loads more evenly, making them ideal for larger homes and areas prone to severe weather. We incorporate specialized ventilation strategies that work with the hip design to maintain proper airflow and prevent heat buildup.

Tile Roof (Clay/Concrete)

Beyond the material benefits, tile roof systems require specialized installation expertise that our crews have refined over decades of Austin-area projects. We design custom ventilation and underlayment systems that maximize the thermal benefits while ensuring proper moisture management. Our tile roof installations consistently outperform industry standards for longevity and weather resistance.

Flat Roof

Common in Austin’s commercial buildings and modern residential designs, flat roofs require precise installation to handle our intense UV exposure and occasional heavy rains. We specialize in membrane systems and proper drainage design that prevents ponding and extends roof life well beyond typical expectations.

Roof Installation Cost & Financing

Investment Ranges and Factors

Roof installation costs in Austin typically range from $8,500-$15,000 for asphalt shingles on average homes, $15,000-$35,000 for metal roofing systems, and $25,000-$50,000+ for premium tile or slate installations. Several factors influence your specific investment: roof size and complexity, material selection, structural modifications needed, and current roof removal requirements. We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down material costs, labor, permits, and disposal fees—no hidden surprises.

Austin’s climate demands quality installation that justifies slightly higher costs compared to milder regions. Our installations include upgraded underlayments, enhanced ventilation systems, and reinforced attachment methods that exceed standard requirements. This approach prevents callbacks and ensures your roof performs reliably through decades of Texas weather extremes. Most homeowners find that investing in proper installation saves thousands in avoided repairs and energy costs over the roof’s lifetime.

Financing Options and Value

We partner with leading financing companies to offer flexible payment plans with terms up to 20 years and competitive interest rates. Many homeowners qualify for same-as-cash programs for 12-18 months, while others prefer extended terms that keep monthly payments manageable. We also help navigate insurance claims for storm damage, often reducing out-of-pocket costs significantly. Solar installation financing is available through our Tesla partnership, with many customers achieving net-positive cash flow from day one.

The energy savings from modern roofing systems often offset financing costs, particularly with metal roofing or cool-color shingles. Our customers typically see $150-400 monthly reductions in cooling costs during Austin’s long summer season. We provide detailed cost-benefit analyses that show projected savings over 10, 20, and 30-year periods, helping families make informed decisions about their roofing investment.
