Lakeway Roof Repair — Tile, Shingle & Steep-Pitch Specialists

Common Lakeway Roof Repairs (And What They Cost)

Lakeway repair costs run higher than typical Austin-area repairs due to tile handling, steep pitches, and premium materials.

<strong>Why Lakeway repairs cost more:</strong> Tile handling requires more labor and expertise. Steep pitches require specialized equipment. Premium material matching takes sourcing time. HOA-compliant repairs require documentation. These are real costs of doing the work correctly on Lake Travis homes.

Why Lakeway Homeowners Trust Us With Their Roof Repairs

Premium homes need roofers with premium expertise. Here's what we bring to every Lakeway repair.

How fast can you get to my Lakeway home for a repair?

For emergencies with water actively entering your home, we dispatch same-day and typically arrive within 2-4 hours. Lakeway is a core service area for us—we've been working on Lake Travis homes since 2008. For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule within 1-3 business days.

How much does a roof repair cost in Lakeway?

Lakeway repairs tend to cost more than typical Austin-area repairs due to steep pitches, tile handling, and premium material matching. Simple shingle repairs run $200-$500. Tile replacement runs $200-$600 per area. Flashing repairs cost $300-$900. Underlayment failure beneath tile—the most common serious Lakeway repair—ranges from $2,000-$8,000 depending on the section size. We provide free estimates before any work begins.

My tile roof is leaking but the tiles look fine. What's happening?

This is the most common Lakeway-specific repair we handle. Tile can last 50+ years, but the underlayment beneath it—the actual waterproofing layer—typically fails in 15-25 years. When it does, water gets past the tiles and into your home even though the tiles themselves are intact. We lift tiles in the affected area, replace the failed underlayment section, and reinstall the original tiles.

Do you know how to repair tile roofs?

Yes—tile repair is one of our core specialties in Lakeway. We work with concrete tile, clay tile, and synthetic tile. Tile repair requires specific walking patterns to avoid cracking adjacent tiles, proper removal sequence, matching replacement tiles, and careful reinstallation. Many general roofers aren't equipped for this work, which is why we see a lot of tile damage caused by previous repair attempts.

My roof is very steep. Can you still repair it?

Yes. Many Lakeway homes have steep pitches that require specialized safety equipment—harnesses, roof jacks, scaffolding. We're equipped for this and work on steep-pitch roofs throughout Lakeway, The Hills, and Rough Hollow regularly. Steep pitch does increase repair cost (typically 15-25% over standard pitch) due to additional equipment and labor.

Will my HOA approve the repair materials?

We work with Lakeway's particular HOAs regularly—Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, The Hills, and others. Even for repairs, some HOAs require specific material matching and documentation. We source matching tiles or shingles, provide material samples if needed, and document the repair to satisfy architectural committee requirements.

A storm chaser said I need a full roof replacement. Should I get a second opinion?

In Lakeway, absolutely. Storm chasers target affluent areas because the homes are worth more and insurance payouts are higher. A Lakeway tile roof replacement can run $25,000-$60,000+, making it very profitable for fly-by-night operators. We've seen many cases where a $1,000-$3,000 repair was all that was needed.

Does Lakeway get enough storms to cause roof damage?

Yes. 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. More importantly, Lakeway's lake exposure creates sustained wind patterns that lift tiles and stress flashing in ways that inland communities don't experience.

Can you match my existing tile if some are damaged?

Usually, yes. We maintain relationships with tile suppliers and can source most active tile lines. For discontinued tiles, we check salvage inventories and specialty suppliers. If an exact match isn't possible, we discuss options—sometimes tiles from a less visible roof section can be swapped to the prominent area, with new similar tiles placed in the hidden location.

Is wind damage to tile covered by insurance?

Wind damage is typically covered by homeowner's insurance. Lakeway's lake-effect wind is well-documented, and adjusters familiar with the area understand the exposure. We document all wind damage with photos and measurements, provide estimates formatted for insurance review, and meet with your adjuster on-site to walk through the damage.

What if you find more damage than expected once tiles are lifted?

We stop and call you. Lifting tiles sometimes reveals underlayment failure or decking damage that wasn't visible from the surface. We never add scope or charges without your explicit approval. We explain what we found, provide updated pricing, and let you decide how to proceed.

Do you guarantee your repair work on tile roofs?

Yes. If a repair we perform fails, we come back and fix it at no additional cost. This applies to all roof types including tile, shingle, and mixed-material roofs. We've honored that guarantee since 2008.
