What Does Roofing Cost in Lakeway?

Lakeway homes tend to be larger with steeper pitches and premium materials. Here are typical ranges.

How to Choose a Roofer in Lakeway

Lakeway's luxury homes require roofers with specific expertise. Here's what to look for.

I have a tile roof. Do you work on tile?

Yes, extensively. Lakeway has more tile roofs than most Austin-area communities. We work with concrete tile, clay tile, and synthetic tile. Tile repair requires specific expertise—improper walking patterns crack tiles and poor flashing work causes leaks. We've been working on Lake Travis tile roofs since 2008.

How much does roofing cost in Lakeway?

Lakeway roofing costs tend to run higher than the Austin average due to larger homes, steeper pitches, and premium materials. A typical architectural shingle replacement runs $15,000-$30,000. Tile roofs cost $25,000-$60,000+ depending on tile type and roof complexity. We provide detailed written estimates for your specific home.

My roof is really steep. Is that a problem?

Steep roofs require specialized equipment, safety protocols, and more labor. We work on steep-pitch roofs throughout Lakeway and The Hills—it's what we're equipped for. The steeper pitch does increase cost (typically 15-25%), but it's also better for your roof's longevity and your home's appearance.

My HOA is very strict. Can you help with approval?

Lakeway HOAs are among the most particular in the Austin area. We routinely work with HOAs in Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, The Hills, and other communities. We provide material samples, architectural drawings if needed, and documentation that satisfies even the strictest architectural committees.

Should I choose tile or shingles for my Lakeway home?

Both work well here. Tile offers superior longevity (50+ years), better hail resistance, and the Mediterranean aesthetic many Lakeway homeowners prefer. High-quality architectural shingles cost less upfront, last 25-30 years, and come in styles that complement Hill Country architecture. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific situation.

A roofer knocked on my door. Should I be suspicious?

In Lakeway, yes. Storm chasers target affluent areas because the homes are worth more and insurance payouts are higher. Legitimate Lakeway roofers don't need to knock on doors—they have established reputations and referral networks. Ask for local references, verify their Texas license, and check reviews going back years.

Does Lakeway get enough hail to worry about?

Lakeway isn't in 'Hail Alley' like Round Rock, but Hill Country storms bring damaging hail every few years. The 2021 and 2023 storms caused significant damage throughout the Lake Travis area. Impact-resistant materials are worth considering, especially for tile roofs where individual tile replacement is costly.

How do I maintain my tile roof?

Tile roofs need periodic inspection of underlayment (the waterproofing layer beneath the tiles), flashing around penetrations, and any cracked or shifted tiles. We recommend inspections every 2-3 years and after major storms. Catching small issues early prevents the expensive repairs that come from water infiltration.

We're building a custom home. When should we talk about roofing?

Early. Roofing decisions affect your home's aesthetic, budget, and even structural requirements (tile weighs more than shingles). We work with builders and architects throughout Lakeway on new construction. Getting us involved during planning ensures your roof matches your vision and budget.

My lake view is important. Will the roof work affect it?

We understand that lake views are a major reason people live in Lakeway. We discuss aesthetics upfront—roofing materials, colors, profiles—so your new roof enhances rather than detracts from your home's appearance. For homes with prominent roof visibility, this matters.

Do you offer warranties on tile roofs?

Yes. Tile manufacturers typically offer 50-year or lifetime warranties on the tiles themselves. We provide our workmanship warranty covering installation. The underlayment (which typically fails before the tile) carries its own warranty—usually 25-30 years for premium products we use in Lakeway.

How long have you been working in Lakeway?

Since 2008. We've worked in nearly every Lakeway neighborhood—from the original Hills development to newer communities like Rough Hollow and Serene Hills. We know which HOAs require what, which homes have tricky access, and what materials perform best on Lake Travis.
