Roof Replacement, Metal Roofs and Inspections, Lakeway TX

Lakeway started out as a retirement and second-home community on the south shore of Lake Travis, the 65-mile-long reservoir in the western corner of Travis County, about 25 miles west of downtown Austin. It didn't stay a weekend place for long. The 2010 census counted 11,391 residents, up from 8,002 in 2000. A lot of those early lake houses are now year-round homes, and their roofs were never planned for the kind of use they get today.

As a roofing company in Lakeway, we see that history on almost every job. Homeowners want a roof that will outlast their time in the house, they want it to look right from the water and the street, and they want somebody to handle the paperwork. That last part is not optional here.

Lakeway takes every permit application and inspection request through its Civic Self Service website. Contractors must register there so the city can validate their licensing before any permit moves. The building staff answer at 512-314-7540 if you want to check on a project yourself. We build that registration and filing into the schedule for every roof replacement in Lakeway, so you're not chasing a portal while the crew waits.

The city also maintains 100 acres of parkland and trails and nearly 500 acres of greenbelts, and plenty of homes back onto them. Greenbelt lots usually mean trees close to the roof and limited access for a dump trailer, which is worth knowing before tear-off day.

Planning to stay in a Lakeway home for the long haul? Then metal roofing on Lake Travis deserves a real look next to architectural shingles. It sheds wind well, it handles heat, and on a greenbelt lot it doesn't hold leaf litter the way a textured shingle can. We'll quote both and tell you which we'd choose for your house.

Not ready to replace anything? Start with a Lakeway roof inspection. Fire and EMS here come from Lake Travis Fire Rescue (Travis County ESD 6), so the people who respond to a lightning strike or a grass fire are the same lake-area department your neighbors call. Neighbors in Bee Cave and West Lake Hills get the same service, and the rest of our Travis County coverage is a click away.
