What Are You Building in Leander?
Leander is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and that growth isn't slowing down. New phases continue to develop in communities like Crystal Falls and Travisso. Custom homes are going up on larger lots along the Hero Way and FM 2243 corridors. And across established neighborhoods—Summerlyn, Block House Creek, Bryson, Benbrook Ranch—homeowners who bought in 2015-2019 are adding rooms, building detached structures, and creating outdoor living spaces as their families grow.
Roof installation on new construction is different from replacement. There's no old roof to tear off—we're starting fresh on clean framing. That means cleaner work, precise coordination with the build schedule, and most importantly, an opportunity to do everything right from the beginning. No builder-grade shortcuts. No minimum-code materials. No corners cut on installation technique.
We've seen what happens when Leander's production builders install the cheapest option: homeowners come to us 5-8 years later for replacement because the builder-grade shingles are already failing. With new construction installation, you have the chance to avoid that entire cycle. Choose the right materials, install them correctly, and your new roof in Leander will last decades instead of years.

Projects We Handle in Leander
We install roofs on all types of new construction and additions across Leander and western Williamson County.
New Construction Homes
Custom homes on acreage along Hero Way and FM 2243, spec homes in new developments, new phases in Crystal Falls and Travisso. We work with builders on single projects or entire sections.
Home Additions
Families who bought in 2015-2019 are adding space as kids grow up. Master suites, bonus rooms, expanded kitchens. We tie new rooflines into existing Leander homes seamlessly—and since most are under 10 years old, matching materials is straightforward.
Garages & Workshops
Detached garages, workshops, and storage buildings. Popular on Leander's larger lots where homeowners need dedicated space. Same quality roofing as your primary home—or better.
ADUs & Guest Houses
Accessory dwelling units, casitas, and mother-in-law suites. As Leander families grow and aging parents move closer, ADU construction is picking up—especially on the larger lots in Travisso and Crystal Falls.
Patio Covers & Outdoor Living
Covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and carports. Leander's master-planned communities put a premium on outdoor living space, and a properly roofed patio extends your usable area year-round.
Pool Houses & Outbuildings
Pool cabanas, barns, equipment buildings—whatever you're constructing on your Leander property. We handle it with the same care and quality as a primary residence roof.
Why "Get It Right From Day One" Matters in Leander
We repair and replace roofs on Leander's production-built homes every week. We know exactly where builders cut corners—and we know what happens 5-8 years later when those shortcuts catch up. New construction installation is your chance to avoid the entire cycle.
What we install vs. what production builders install:
Premium architectural or Class 4 shingles
vs. entry-level builder-grade with thinner profiles and less granule coverage
Six-nail high-wind fastening pattern
vs. four-nail minimum code pattern that's more vulnerable to wind uplift
Synthetic underlayment with proper overlap
vs. felt paper that degrades faster and offers less secondary moisture protection
Enhanced ridge ventilation with balanced airflow
vs. minimum code ventilation that lets attic temps exceed 150°F in summer
The cost difference is smaller than you think:
Labor is the biggest cost of any roof installation, and that cost is the same regardless of material quality. Upgrading from builder-grade to premium installation on a typical Leander home adds $2,000-$4,000 to the total—and saves you from a premature replacement that would cost $15,000+ in 8-10 years.
What's Your Situation?
Different Leander projects have different needs. Here's how we can help.
"I'm building a custom home in Leander and need a roofer"
We work with your builder or directly with you. We'll help you choose materials suited to Leander's hail exposure, coordinate with your construction schedule, and deliver premium installation that protects your custom investment.
"I'm a builder developing in Leander and need a reliable roofing sub"
We show up on schedule, deliver quality that passes inspection the first time, keep clean sites, and don't slow your timeline. We've partnered with builders across Williamson County since 2008.
"I'm adding onto my Leander house and need the roof to match"
Since most Leander homes are under 10 years old, matching shingles is usually straightforward. We tie new rooflines into existing structures cleanly—no leaks, no visible seams at the transition.
"I'm building an ADU, garage, or workshop on my property"
Accessory structures deserve quality roofing. We match your main home's materials for a cohesive look and handle Leander permitting and inspections.
"I want a covered patio or outdoor kitchen"
Outdoor living space is a smart investment in Leander. We install roofing on covered patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens—standing seam metal is a popular choice that looks great and handles weather well.
"My builder spec'd basic shingles—I want to upgrade"
The smartest decision you can make for a Leander home. We strongly recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles given the hail exposure. The insurance savings alone can offset the upgrade cost within a few years.
Material Options for Leander New Construction
New construction means you choose exactly what goes on your roof. Here's what works best in Leander's climate and storm exposure.
Architectural Shingles
BEST VALUEMulti-dimensional look, solid durability, wide color selection. The standard for most Leander subdivision builds. Verify your HOA's approved color palette before choosing—communities like Crystal Falls and Travisso have specific guidelines.
$4-$6/sq ft
25-30 year warranty
Impact-Resistant Shingles (Class 4)
RECOMMENDED FOR LEANDEREngineered to withstand the hail that regularly hits western Williamson County. Qualifies for 10-28% insurance premium discounts in Texas—on a Leander home insured for $400K+, that's $400-$1,000+ per year in savings. The premium pays for itself within 3-5 years while protecting you from storm damage claims.
$6-$9/sq ft
30-50 year warranty
Standing Seam Metal
LONGEST LASTINGExtremely durable, energy efficient, and increasingly popular on Leander custom builds—especially along the Hill Country-influenced western corridors. Higher upfront cost but can last 50+ years. Handles hail well and reflects heat, significantly reducing summer cooling costs.
$8-$15/sq ft
40-70 year warranty
Clay or Concrete Tile
PREMIUMBeautiful and extremely durable. Ideal for Mediterranean or Spanish-style custom builds on Leander's acreage lots. Heaviest option—new construction framing can be engineered for tile weight from the start, which is far more cost-effective than retrofitting later.
$10-$20+/sq ft
50+ year warranty
Prices are per square foot of roof area, not home floor area. Actual cost depends on roof pitch, complexity, and specific product. We provide detailed estimates for your Leander project.
How New Construction Installation Works in Leander
New construction is cleaner than replacement—no tear-off, no surprises under old materials. Here's our process:
Coordination & Scheduling
We coordinate with your builder or GC to schedule installation after framing and sheathing are inspected. Leander's construction pace is fast—we match it without holding up other trades.
Decking Inspection
We verify the decking is properly fastened, level, and free of defects before we begin. We've caught framing issues on Leander new builds before—better to flag them now than discover them later.
Underlayment & Moisture Barriers
Synthetic underlayment across the full deck with ice/water shield in valleys, around penetrations, and along eaves. This secondary barrier is critical—especially when spring storms move through Leander before interior work is complete.
Drip Edge & Flashing
Metal drip edge along all eaves and rakes. Flashing at every vent, pipe, chimney, skylight, and wall transition. Every penetration is a potential leak point—we seal them properly from day one.
Roofing Material Installation
Your chosen material installed to manufacturer specifications with enhanced fastening. Six-nail patterns for wind resistance, proper exposure, and attention to detail at every hip, ridge, and valley.
Ventilation & Ridge
Balanced ridge and soffit ventilation that keeps attic temperatures manageable during Leander's brutal summers. Proper ventilation extends roof life, reduces cooling costs, and prevents moisture buildup.
Cleanup & Documentation
Thorough site cleanup, magnetic nail sweep, debris removal, and complete warranty documentation. Your Leander roof is ready for the next phase of construction.

What Leander Builders and Homeowners Say
Reviews from new construction, addition, and outdoor structure projects in Leander
Ryan and Megan Calvert
Built a custom home on a 1-acre lot off Hero Way and hired Altair for the roof based on a neighbor's recommendation. We chose Class 4 impact-resistant shingles after seeing what hail does to the production homes in the area. Altair coordinated with our GC perfectly—showed up the day after framing was inspected and finished the entire roof in two days. Six-nail pattern, synthetic underlayment, ridge vent the full length. Our insurance agent said we'd save around $600/year with the Class 4 rating. The crew was professional and left the site spotless.
Jennifer Okafor
We added a 500 sq ft sunroom and expanded master bedroom to our Summerlyn home. The house is only from 2018 so matching the existing shingles was easy—Altair sourced the exact same product. What impressed me was how cleanly they tied the new roofline into the existing structure. There's a valley where the addition meets the original roof and you can't tell where old ends and new begins. No leaks, passed inspection first try. They also pointed out that our original builder missed a section of starter strip on the existing roof and fixed it while they were up there. No charge.
David Strickland
Had Altair install roofing on a 20x30 detached workshop and a covered patio connected to our Crystal Falls home. We went with standing seam metal for the patio cover and matching shingles for the workshop. They pulled permits through Leander, coordinated with the concrete and framing crews, and installed both roofs in under three days. The metal patio cover looks incredible and matches the Hill Country aesthetic of the neighborhood. Price was competitive and the quality was better than what the production builder put on our main house.
Rebecca N.
Altair installed the roof on our new custom build and the quality is outstanding. They coordinated perfectly with our general contractor, stayed on schedule, and the standing seam metal roof they put on is the highlight of the house. Multiple neighbors have asked for their number.
Timothy K.
We added a second story to our home and needed a completely new roof system. Altair handled the tear-off and new installation seamlessly. They upgraded our ventilation and decking where needed without nickel-and-diming us. The new architectural shingles look amazing.
Monica D.
Our builder recommended Altair for our new home and we are glad they did. The installation crew was efficient and clean, the materials are top quality, and they walked us through the warranty coverage in detail. Five stars for a job well done from start to finish.

Roof Installation Questions for Leander Projects
Answers for builders, contractors, and homeowners building in Leander and western Williamson County
- Do you work with Leander builders and general contractors?
- Yes. We partner with builders and GCs across Leander and the surrounding area—from production builders developing new phases in communities like Crystal Falls, Travisso, and Bryson to custom builders working on individual lots along the Hero Way and 183A corridors. We coordinate with construction schedules, handle permits, and maintain clean job sites.
- How much does new roof installation cost in Leander?
- New construction roofing in Leander typically costs $4-$8 per square foot for architectural shingles, $6-$9 for Class 4 impact-resistant, $8-$15 for standing seam metal, and $10-$20+ for tile. A typical 2,200 sq ft Leander home runs $13,000-$20,000 for architectural shingles. Leander's production-style homes generally have simpler rooflines than custom builds, which helps keep labor costs competitive.
- What materials should I choose for a new roof in Leander?
- We strongly recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for Leander. The city sits on the western edge of Central Texas's hail corridor, and Class 4 shingles qualify for insurance premium discounts of 10-28%. The upfront cost is only $1-$3 more per square foot than standard architectural, and the insurance savings typically pay back the difference in 3-5 years. For custom builds on larger lots, standing seam metal is excellent for longevity and energy efficiency.
- How long does new roof installation take on a Leander home?
- Most Leander production-style homes with standard gable or hip rooflines take 1-2 days for new construction installation. Larger custom homes with complex designs, multiple valleys, or dormers may take 2-4 days. Tile installations require additional time. We coordinate with your builder to fit the construction schedule and avoid delaying other trades.
- Can you do better than what the production builders install?
- Yes—and this is one of the biggest reasons Leander homeowners and custom builders hire us. Production builders install to code minimums: entry-level shingles, four-nail patterns, felt paper underlayment, basic ventilation. We install premium materials with six-nail high-wind patterns, synthetic underlayment, enhanced ridge venting, and proper ice/water shield. The result is a roof that lasts longer, resists storms better, and costs less to insure.
- Can you match my existing Leander roof for an addition?
- In most cases, yes. Since most Leander homes were built within the last decade, the original shingles are likely still in production. We source matching or closely matching materials for additions. If your shingles have been discontinued or weathered significantly, we'll show you options that blend well—or discuss re-roofing the existing section alongside the addition for a seamless look.
- Do Leander HOAs have roofing requirements?
- Many Leander master-planned communities have architectural standards for roofing materials, colors, and styles. Communities like Crystal Falls, Travisso, Mason Hills, Bryson, and Cold Springs all have HOA guidelines. We're familiar with common requirements across Leander subdivisions and can help you choose materials that satisfy your HOA while giving you the performance you want.
- Do you install roofs on ADUs and accessory buildings?
- Yes. As Leander continues growing and families need more space, ADU construction is becoming more common—especially on larger lots in communities like Travisso and Crystal Falls. We install roofs on accessory dwelling units, detached garages, workshops, and other structures with the same quality materials and workmanship as primary homes.
- Can you install a covered patio or outdoor kitchen roof?
- Yes. Outdoor living is central to Leander's lifestyle, and covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and pool cabanas are popular additions across Leander's master-planned communities. We install roofing on outdoor structures using materials that match your home or stand-alone options like metal that are suited to covered outdoor use.
- What's included in a new construction roof installation?
- Everything from start to finish: decking inspection and coordination with framers, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in critical areas, drip edge on all edges, flashing at every penetration and wall transition, ventilation system (ridge vents, soffit vents), your chosen roofing material installed to manufacturer specs with enhanced fastening, cleanup with magnetic nail sweep, and full warranty documentation.
- Do you handle permits for new construction in Leander?
- We can pull roofing permits through the City of Leander or coordinate with your builder if they're handling permits for the full project. Either way, we ensure all work meets current building codes and passes inspection. We're experienced with Leander and Williamson County permitting requirements.
- What warranties do you offer on new installations?
- Our new roof installations include manufacturer warranties on materials (25-50 years depending on product) plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty. As a GAF certified contractor, we offer enhanced warranty packages covering both materials and labor. Unlike the production builder who cuts corners, we stand behind our installation for the long term—we've been in the Austin area since 2008.
