Why Clear Choice in Zilker

The clear choice in Austin for all of your roofing needs.

Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor

You know you're in good hands with us as one of the very few OC Platinum Preferred Contractors in Central Texas. This is the most prestigious designation available to roofers, as less than 1% nationwide qualify. When you work with us, you can rest easy knowing that the most trusted brand in roofing has pre-vetted us for excellent workmanship, business practices, and service. And this allows us to offer the strongest warranty in the entire industry as well!

Locally owned and operated

We've served the greater Austin community for decades with stellar service, and will continue to do so for many decades to come. We understand the houses and conditions around here, we care about and invest in the community, and our hundreds of positive reviews from customers around here are a testament to that. And while we do take tremendous pride in doing things right the first time, you can trust that if you do call about a warranty issue, we'll still be here!

We care deeply about quality and service

We only use the highest-grade roofing materials, and we never cut corners to save costs. It's common for other roofers to re-use roofing underlayment or other old materials, and to even just to use fewer nails. We always use new material, and while we do take pride in how fast our deeply experienced crews can work, we never sacrifice quality for speed. And you can trust that our team will deliver thoughtful, responsive service throughout the entire job process.

The Best Type of Roofing for Zilker

Impact-resistant Shingles

Given the risk of hail damage in Central Texas, we often recommend impact-resistant shingles to homeowners in the area. These shingles, such as the Owens Corning products we use, have a reinforced design that can withstand the impact of hailstones and reduce the likelihood of damage.

Metal roofing with proper ventilation

Metal roofs can be an excellent choice for local homes thanks to their durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. Proper ventilation is essential, though, to prevent moisture buildup and extend the life of the roof, so we always stress adequate ventilation when installing a metal roof.

Tile Roofing

Clay and concrete tile roofing are durable, attractive options for homes with Mediterranean or Spanish-style architecture. Tile is naturally resistant to fire, wind, and moisture, which makes it well suited to the Central Texas climate.

Roofing Answers

Common Questions

Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to three days, depending on the size, pitch, and complexity of your roof and the weather. We give you a clear timeline before we start, protect your property throughout, and clean up thoroughly once the work is done.

It depends on the roof's age and the extent of the damage. Isolated issues like a few missing shingles or a small leak are often repairable, while widespread wear, aging materials, or storm damage across the roof usually call for a full replacement. A free inspection tells you which makes more sense.

Common warning signs include curling, cracked, or missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, daylight or water stains in the attic, sagging areas, and a roof that is 20 or more years old. If you notice any of these, it is worth having the roof inspected.

Often, yes, when the damage comes from a covered event like hail or wind. Insurance usually does not cover damage from age or lack of maintenance. We document the damage with photos and a written report and can meet your adjuster on-site to help make sure nothing is missed.

We install asphalt shingles, including impact-resistant Class 4 options, along with standing-seam metal and clay or concrete tile. For commercial buildings we also offer flat-roof systems like TPO and modified bitumen. We help you choose the material that fits your home, budget, and any HOA guidelines.

It depends on the material. Quality asphalt shingles typically last around 20 to 25 years here, impact-resistant shingles often longer, and metal or tile roofs can last 40 years or more. Central Texas hail, heat, and sun affect lifespan, so regular inspections help you get the most out of any roof.

Yes. We offer flexible financing so you can move forward with the roof you need without paying the full cost upfront. We can walk you through the available options during your free estimate and help you find a plan that fits your budget.

Your new roof is backed by both a manufacturer's warranty on the materials and our workmanship warranty on the installation. We explain exactly what each covers, how long it lasts, and any maintenance needed to keep it valid, so you know your investment is protected.

Seasonal Tips for Maintaining a Roof in Zilker

As Zilker enters its rainiest season, it's crucial to ensure that gutters and downspouts are clean and functioning properly to prevent water from backing up and causing leaks. Homeowners should also inspect their roofs for any signs of damage or wear and address these issues promptly.

With temperatures often climbing into the high 90s, Zilker homeowners should take steps to maximize their roof's energy efficiency. This can include installing reflective coatings or choosing lighter-colored roofing materials to reduce heat absorption and keep the home cooler.

As the rainy season returns, it's a good idea to schedule a professional roof inspection to identify any damage that may have occurred during the summer months. Homeowners should also trim back any overhanging tree branches to minimize the risk of damage during storms.

While Zilker winters are generally mild, the occasional cold front can bring strong winds and heavy rainfall. Homeowners should monitor their roofs for any signs of damage and ensure that their attics are properly insulated to prevent heat loss and moisture buildup. If any issues arise, it's best to contact a professional roofing contractor to address them safely.
