Austin Roofing Company for Travis, Williamson and Hays

Central Texas weather doesn't take years off. On September 24, 2023, hail up to 4 inches fell on Round Rock and tracked from Georgetown through North Austin, with the National Weather Service estimating about 600 million dollars in damage split between Travis and Williamson counties. On May 28, 2025, a microburst cut a 10-mile damage path across northeast Austin and gusted to 77 mph at the airport. And the January 30 to February 2, 2023 ice storm put more than 170,000 Austin Energy customers in the dark, mostly from ice-laden live oak limbs.

Those storms broke roofs in very different ways, and fixing a hail-bruised shingle has little in common with fixing a roof a frozen limb came through. Our crews handle storm damage repair in Austin for all of them, including hail damage roof repair around Round Rock and the rest of the metro.

Most roof repair in Austin is small stuff on a roof with years left in it. A cracked pipe boot. Flashing that's pulled loose from a chimney, or a ridge cap the wind got under. The wrinkle here is the fire code. The city says more than half of Austin falls inside one of its Wildland-Urban Interface zones, where roofs need a Class A fire rating. Under the amended WUI code that took effect July 10, 2025, replacing 50 percent or more of a roof means bringing the whole roof up to the code. So a repair that quietly grows into half the roof becomes a different job, with different paperwork. We'll tell you which side of that line you're on before work starts. See how we handle roof repair, or call the Austin line, (512) 571-3371.

Roof leak repair in Austin keeps sending us back to the same places. On the older bungalows in central neighborhoods, it's often a low-slope porch or addition tied into a steeper main roof. West of MoPac, under the canopy, check the valleys first: live oak leaves and juniper needles pack in there, and the wet debris holds water against the shingle edge for days after a rain. And anywhere in town, a pipe boot can crack after enough summers of Texas sun. We trace the water from the attic up, fix what actually failed and photograph it, the same way our roof leak repair crews work in San Antonio. Got a ceiling stain? Send us a photo or call (512) 571-3371, and we'll tell you what we think.

Permit rules change at nearly every city limit sign in this metro, and that shapes a roof replacement in Austin more than most homeowners expect. Austin exempts many shingle-for-shingle jobs. Georgetown is stricter: the city requires a permit for a new roof inside its limits, and its rules call for a full tear-off when the old covering is water-soaked or deteriorated, when there are two or more layers, or when it is wood shake, slate, clay or cement tile. Unincorporated Travis and Williamson county addresses answer to a different set of rules again. We check the address before we price anything. Then the crew handles tear-off, decking, underlayment and flashing, with Owens Corning or GAF shingles on top. Our roof replacement page covers the full process, and on the I-35 hail track, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are worth pricing.

Look at the retail strips along I-35 and US 183 and you'll see flat and low-slope roof, block after block. Add the offices, the east-side warehouses, and the pool houses and amenity centers that nearly every master-planned community in Williamson and Hays counties seems to have, and that's most of the commercial roofing in Austin. Trouble on those roofs tends to start at the HVAC curbs and the drains and scuppers, or at seams that bake all summer and then take hail in the spring. We work TPO and modified bitumen systems, metal on shops and ag buildings, and shingles on sloped commercial roofs, with in-house former adjusters when storm damage is on the table. Property managers get photos and a written scope they can pass up the chain. Start with our commercial roofing page, or go straight to commercial roof repair if something is already leaking.

West of Austin the roofs change. Out toward Dripping Springs, Lakeway and Wimberley, simple Hill Country rooflines, deep eaves and limestone walls make standing seam metal a natural fit, and plenty of those homes collect rainwater in tanks, where a smooth metal surface sends less grit into the tank than a granule-coated shingle does. Fire is the other argument. Inside Austin's WUI zones a roof needs a Class A assembly, so ask for the Class A listing on the exact panel and underlayment before you sign. The trade-off is hail. Big stones dent metal, and some policies exclude cosmetic dents, so read yours before you choose metal for storm reasons alone. Our metal roofing crews install standing seam and R-panel systems across the Austin metro.

East of I-35, much of the Austin metro sits on Blackland clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries. Dump a whole roof's worth of rain at one corner of the slab and you feed that cycle every storm. So the point of gutter installation in Austin is pretty simple. Catch the water at the eave and move it away from the foundation through downspouts sized for a Texas cloudburst. We hang seamless gutters formed to the length of each run, so there are no mid-run seams to leak. Planning a rain tank too? Austin Water's rainwater harvesting rebate guidelines have listed gutters as an ineligible cost, so the tank may qualify while the gutters stay on you. Details are on our seamless gutter installation page.

I-35 runs through the middle of this map, and it splits more than traffic.

• Travis County has thin soil over limestone west of the interstate and shrink-swell Blackland clay east of it. That's the city of Austin, plus Pflugerville, Lakeway and West Lake Hills.
• Williamson County adds thousands of new homes a year, right on the hail track through Round Rock, Cedar Park and Georgetown.
• Hays County grew 56 percent in population in ten years, from San Marcos and Kyle to Dripping Springs and Wimberley.
• In Bastrop County it's Lost Pines forest on deep sand, and the county issues no building permits for homes.
• Caldwell County, around Lockhart: Blackland clay, sandy hills, Plum Creek draining it all.

Texas-RRR doesn't publish an Austin street address, and we'd rather say so up front. We're based in San Antonio. The Austin line, (512) 571-3371, gives Austin-area homeowners a local number to call. The main line, (210) 802-6906, works too.

So why hire a roofer from down I-35? Mostly because the crew count is real. We run 8 full crew teams, we've completed more than 2,800 projects, and our owner, Charlie Carreon, has been roofing for 30 years. Buda sits 16 miles from downtown Austin, and San Marcos is the one city we serve from both lines. See our San Antonio metro service area for the other half of the map, or the complete list of our service areas for all 13 counties.

If you're calling after a storm, you've probably talked to your insurer already. Good, that's usually where we come in. Our in-house staff includes former insurance adjusters, and we bring 30+ years of insurance claim experience to every Austin roof insurance claim we work. When the claim covers a new roof, we show you what the policy pays and what an upgrade to Class 4 shingles would add, line by line.

Yvette D. described it well after a tree fell on her roof: "they dealt with the insurance company so I didn't have to." Estimates are free, and office hours run Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
