Should You Replace Your Roof?
Roof replacement is a significant investment—typically $9,000 to $28,000+ for Georgetown homes depending on size and complexity. That's real money. So the question isn't just “do I need a new roof?” It's “does replacement make financial sense compared to my other options?”
Georgetown has a unique situation. Thousands of homes in Sun City and Serenada still have original builder-grade shingles from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These roofs are at or past their rated lifespan. At the same time, Georgetown's position in the Williamson County hail corridor means these aging shingles are taking punishment from storms they were never designed to survive at this age.
On the other end, neighborhoods like Berry Creek, Cimarron Hills, and Wolf Ranch have newer homes where replacement is typically driven by storm damage rather than age. The decision process is different for each situation, and we help you think through it honestly.
We'll tell you the real condition of your roof, what repairs would cost, what replacement would cost, and which option makes more sense. We won't push replacement if repairs will serve you well for years to come.

Start with a free inspection. We'll assess your Georgetown roof's condition and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your home and budget.
Retirement Communities vs. Newer Builds: Two Georgetown Roof Stories
Georgetown's housing market spans retirement communities built in the late 1990s and modern subdivisions still under construction. Each has a different path to roof replacement.
Established Communities (Sun City, Serenada, Berry Creek, Georgetown Village)
- 20-25+ year old roofs past their rated lifespan with original builder shingles that have exhausted their protective granule layer
- Decades of Williamson County hail compounding on materials that were already at end of life, making each storm more damaging than the last
- Fixed-income considerations for retirement community homeowners who need transparent pricing and financing options upfront
- HOA requirements in communities like Sun City that dictate approved materials, colors, and contractor insurance minimums
Newer Neighborhoods (Wolf Ranch, Cimarron Hills, Teravista, Woodland Park)
- Storm-driven replacement where hail or wind damage on 5-15 year old roofs triggers insurance-funded full replacement
- Builder-grade materials underperforming in the hail corridor, with entry-level shingles and felt underlayment failing faster than homeowners expect
- Higher home values at stake where premium Georgetown pricing ($400K-$800K+) means a failing roof has outsized impact on resale and appraisal
- Opportunity to upgrade from builder-grade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles during storm-funded replacement for long-term protection
Different situations, different priorities:
For Sun City and Serenada homeowners on fixed incomes, we focus on durable materials with the best warranty value and provide detailed financing options so the investment is manageable. For newer Georgetown neighborhoods where storm damage is the driver, we help maximize your insurance claim and recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that qualify for 10-28% premium discounts, often paying for the upgrade in a few years of savings.
Repair vs. Replace: The Math for Georgetown Homeowners
Here's how Georgetown homeowners should think about this decision financially.
Repairs Make Sense When:
- Your roof is under 15 years old (Wolf Ranch, newer Shell Ranch)
- Damage is localized to one area, not spread across the roof
- Repair costs are less than 30% of replacement
- The underlying decking and structure are sound
- You haven't had repeated repairs in the same areas
Replacement Makes Sense When:
- Your roof is 20+ years old (most Sun City, older Serenada)
- Damage is widespread across 30%+ of the roof surface
- You've had multiple repairs that keep failing or recurring
- The decking underneath is damaged or deteriorated
- You're selling your Georgetown home soon
A Simple Way to Think About It:
If your Georgetown roof has 10+ years of life left and the repair costs less than $2,000-$3,000, repair usually makes sense. If your roof is near end-of-life—like most Sun City homes with original shingles—and repairs would cost $3,000+, you're better off putting that money toward a full replacement with modern, hail-resistant materials.
The break-even question: “How many years until accumulated repair costs equal replacement cost?” If that number is shorter than the lifespan of a new roof (25-50 years), replacement wins. For Georgetown's aging inventory, that break-even often comes faster than homeowners expect.
The Value of a New Roof in Georgetown
Roof replacement isn't just a cost—it's an investment with real, measurable returns for Georgetown homeowners.

Real Example: The Cost of NOT Replacing (Georgetown Sun City Home)
Scenario A: Keep repairing aging Sun City roof
- Year 1: $1,400 repair (leaking around vent)
- Year 2: $900 repair (shingles blown off)
- Year 3: $2,800 repair (hail damage section)
- Year 4: $1,600 repair (new leak at chimney)
- Year 5: Emergency replace ($16,000)
- Total: $22,700
Scenario B: Replace now with Class 4 shingles
- Year 1: Replace ($13,500)
- Years 2-5: $0 in repairs
- + Insurance savings: ~$380/year
- + Energy savings: ~$250/year
- + No stress, no emergency calls
- Total: $10,280 (net of savings)
Why Georgetown's retirement community makes this decision different:
Sun City alone has over 9,500 homes, many built between 2000-2010, now approaching or past the 20-year mark. For retirees on fixed incomes, the repair-vs-replace math isn't abstract—every $1,400 emergency call hits the same retirement budget. Replacing proactively with a 25-50 year warranty eliminates decades of unpredictable repair costs and lets you budget with certainty. Georgetown's retirees also can't afford the physical disruption of repeated emergency repairs—tarps, water damage, contractor visits. One replacement ends all of that permanently.
What's Your Situation?
Different reasons bring Georgetown homeowners to roof replacement. Here's how we can help.
“My Sun City roof is past its lifespan”
Smart to be proactive. Original builder-grade shingles from the late '90s and early 2000s are living on borrowed time. We'll help you choose modern materials and set up financing that works.
“I'm tired of paying for repairs”
When repair costs start adding up—especially on aging Georgetown roofs that keep developing new problems—replacement often saves money long-term. Let's do the math together.
“I'm selling my Georgetown home”
An old roof kills home sales. Buyers demand price reductions that exceed replacement cost, or they walk entirely. A new roof removes the objection and often pays for itself in the sale price.
“Insurance is paying after a Georgetown hailstorm”
We work with insurance companies daily. We'll maximize your claim, meet with your adjuster, file supplementals if needed, and make sure the work is done right with materials that protect against the next storm.
“I'm not sure if I should repair or replace”
That's exactly what we help with. Free inspection, honest assessment, and we'll show you repair and replacement costs side by side so you can make the smart decision.
“I want to upgrade to hail-resistant materials”
Given Georgetown's hail exposure, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are one of the best upgrades you can make. We'll show you options, insurance discount potential, and help you choose.
“My roof is 15 years old and I want to get ahead of problems”
Proactive replacement before failure gives you control over timing, materials, and budget. In Georgetown's hail corridor, replacing before the next major storm means you choose the upgrade path—not the emergency path.
“I need to stay on budget”
We offer 0% financing and low monthly payment options. A new roof doesn't have to strain your finances—especially important for Georgetown retirees managing fixed incomes.

What Georgetown Homeowners Say
Real reviews from Georgetown residents who invested in roof replacement
Wayne & Dorothy Mitchell
Our Sun City home still had the original 3-tab shingles from 2000. We knew replacement was coming but kept putting it off. Altair gave us a straightforward assessment: the shingles were past their lifespan and the next hailstorm would force an emergency replacement at whatever price was available. We went with Class 4 architectural shingles at $13,400 with their 0% financing option. The crew finished in two days, cleaned up beautifully, and our insurance dropped $380/year with the new impact-resistant rating. Wish we'd done it sooner.
Dr. Steven Park
Our Berry Creek home has a four-level roof with six dormers—not a simple job. After hail damage, Altair handled the entire insurance process. The initial settlement was $16,200 but they documented additional damage the adjuster missed in the valleys and around the dormers. The supplemental claim brought the total to $22,800, which covered premium impact-resistant shingles. The crew spent four days on the roof and the quality is outstanding. Every valley, every dormer transition, every flashing detail was done right.
Rebecca Gutierrez
I was trying to sell my Georgetown Village home and the old roof was killing my showings. Two potential buyers walked away after the inspection flagged the roof. My realtor recommended Altair. They replaced the roof with architectural shingles for $14,600 and finished in two days. I relisted the following week and had an accepted offer at asking price within 12 days. The new roof absolutely made the difference. Best investment I made in the selling process.
Harold and Jean Prescott
Our Sun City roof was 22 years old and long overdue for replacement. Altair was the only company that didn't try to pressure us—they explained our options clearly, helped us pick a shingle color that works with the HOA guidelines, and the crew was respectful of our landscaping. Finished in a day and cleaned up like they were never here.
Alma Fuentes
Hail damaged our Berry Creek roof and insurance approved a full replacement. Altair met with our adjuster, caught items that were underscoped, and got us an additional $4,200 through supplements. They upgraded us to impact-resistant shingles and the whole project was done in two days. Could not have been easier.
Brian and Tammy Koenig
We replaced the original builder roof on our Wolf Ranch home after finding granule loss everywhere. Altair showed us how the underlayment had also deteriorated and replaced the entire system—not just the shingles. Our energy bills dropped and we have real peace of mind going into storm season now.

Questions Georgetown Homeowners Ask About Roof Replacement
Answers to the questions we hear most from Georgetown residents
- How much does roof replacement cost in Georgetown?
- Most Georgetown roof replacements range from $9,000 to $28,000+ depending on roof size, material choice, and complexity. A typical Sun City home with architectural shingles runs $11,000-$15,000. Larger Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills homes with complex rooflines and steep pitches range from $18,000-$28,000+. We provide detailed estimates with exact pricing based on your specific roof.
- My Sun City roof is over 20 years old. Is it time to replace?
- Almost certainly. Most Sun City homes were built in the late 1990s to early 2000s with builder-grade 3-tab shingles rated for 20-25 years. After two decades of Georgetown's intense UV exposure and hail events, these shingles are at or past their effective lifespan. Proactive replacement now prevents emergency situations and lets you choose materials and timing on your terms.
- Why are Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills roofs more expensive to replace?
- Roof replacement cost is driven by three factors: total square footage, roof complexity, and pitch steepness. Executive homes in Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills often have 3,000-5,000+ sq ft of roof area, multiple levels, dormers, valleys, and steep pitches that require more material, more labor, and specialized safety equipment. The premium reflects genuine additional work, not markup.
- Should I get impact-resistant shingles in Georgetown?
- We strongly recommend it for Georgetown homeowners. Georgetown sits in the Williamson County hail corridor and sees more frequent hail than central Austin. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost 15-30% more but often qualify for 5-35% insurance premium discounts. Given Georgetown's hail frequency, the upgrade typically pays for itself in 4-6 years between premium savings and avoiding future hail damage claims.
- Should I replace my Georgetown roof before selling?
- In most cases, yes. Georgetown's real estate market is competitive, and buyers in this market expect move-in-ready homes. An aging roof is one of the first things inspectors flag, and buyers typically demand $15,000-$25,000+ in price reductions for roof issues—more than the actual replacement cost. A new roof also makes your home show better and often speeds up the sale significantly.
- Will insurance pay for my Georgetown roof replacement?
- If your roof was damaged by a covered event like hail or wind, insurance typically covers replacement minus your deductible. Georgetown homes file hail claims frequently given the area's storm exposure. Age-related wear isn't covered. We help with documentation, meet with adjusters, and file supplemental claims if the initial settlement is too low.
- Do you offer financing for Georgetown homeowners?
- Yes. We offer several financing options including 0% interest plans for qualified buyers. Monthly payments can be as low as $150-$250 depending on the project size. This is especially helpful for Sun City residents on fixed incomes who need a new roof but want to manage cash flow. We include financing scenarios in every estimate.
- How long does roof replacement take in Georgetown?
- Most Georgetown roof replacements take 1-3 days. Larger or more complex roofs like those in Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills may take 3-5 days due to multiple levels, steep access requirements, and total square footage. Weather can affect timing. We give you an accurate schedule and keep you informed throughout.
- What's the best roofing material for Georgetown homes?
- For most Georgetown homes, we recommend architectural shingles (best overall value) or Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (better hail protection plus insurance discounts—especially smart for Georgetown's hail exposure). Metal roofing is excellent for longevity and energy efficiency. For historic downtown homes, we match materials to neighborhood character. We help you choose based on your priorities, home style, and budget.
- Will a new roof lower my energy bills?
- Often yes. Modern roofing materials with proper ventilation and reflective technology reduce heat absorption, which is significant during Georgetown's 100°F+ summers. Homeowners typically see cooling cost reductions of 10-25% with a properly ventilated new roof using energy-efficient materials.
- Can a new roof lower my insurance premiums?
- Yes, often substantially. A new roof—especially one with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles—can qualify for insurance discounts of 10-28% in Texas. For Georgetown homeowners paying elevated premiums due to the area's hail history, these savings can offset a meaningful portion of the replacement investment over time.
- What warranties come with a Georgetown roof replacement?
- Our replacements include manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 25-50 years depending on the product) plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty. As a GAF certified contractor, we offer enhanced warranty packages that cover both materials and labor. You're protected by a local company that's been here since 2008 and will be here to honor every warranty.
