Whatever it is, Austin Roofing Company repairs it: leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing, storm damage, and ceiling stains, same-day when water is coming in.

Emergency: (512) 640-2658How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Austin, TX?
Most Austin roof repairs cost between $100 and $800. Here are the problems we see most often and their typical ranges.
Active leak
Water coming through ceiling
Missing shingles
Blown off by wind
Flashing failure
Leaks around chimneys, vents, walls
Emergency tarping
Same-day protection, insurance-reimbursable on storm claims

Valley leak
Where two roof planes meet
Sagging roof deck
Structural issue, water damage
These are rough ranges for residential roof repair Austin homeowners can expect to see. Actual cost depends on your specific situation, roof accessibility, and materials needed. We provide free estimates before any work begins, and insured storm damage typically costs you only your deductible.
"Will This Be a Repair or a Replacement?"
Most localized damage on roofs under 15-20 years old is repairable. Here's the honest breakdown.
Most problems CAN be repaired if:
- The damage is localized (one area, not the whole roof)
- Your roof is under 15-20 years old
- The underlying structure (decking) is sound
- You haven't had multiple repairs in the same area
Replacement makes more sense if:
- Damage affects more than 30% of the roof
- Your roof is 20+ years old with widespread deterioration
- The decking underneath is rotted or damaged
- You've had repeated repairs that keep failing
Rot like this is why we check the decking, not just the shingles. When the wood underneath is gone, a surface patch only hides the problem.
What we'll do:
We inspect the damage, assess your roof's overall condition, and give you an honest recommendation. If a repair makes sense, we'll quote it. If replacement is the smarter long-term choice, we'll explain why. We'll never push one over the other just to make more money.
What Kind of Roof Repair Do You Need in Austin?
Nine situations we handle every week, from active leaks to second opinions. Find yours below.
"Water is coming through my ceiling right now"
Same-day service, 24/7. We'll stop the water, tarp if needed, prevent further damage, then do permanent repairs.
"A tree limb went through my roof"
Impact damage exposes your decking directly to weather. We board and tarp the same day, then complete the permanent repair.
"I see missing shingles after the storm"
Inspect, document for insurance if needed, repair to prevent leaks.
"I have a leak but only when it rains hard"
Austin roof leak repair starts with diagnosing where water is actually entering. Then we repair the source, not just the symptom.
"There's a water stain on my ceiling"
Find the leak source (often not directly above the stain), fix it before it spreads.
"My chimney or skylight area is leaking"
These are specialty repairs. We know how to flash these properly.
"My roof is sagging in one spot"
This could be structural. Keep everyone out of the room below and call. We'll assess whether it's cosmetic or serious.
"Another roofer said I need a new roof"
We'll give you a second opinion. Sometimes they're right. Sometimes they're not.
"I want to fix small issues before they get worse"
Smart. We'll inspect, identify problems, and fix them while they're still small.
Why Do Most Austin Roof Repairs Fail?
Four causes: patching the symptom instead of the source, cheap materials, shortcut flashing, and rush jobs. If you've ever had a repair leak again within a year, one of these is why:
Treating the symptom, not the source
Water can travel far from where it enters. Bad roofers patch where they see water; good roofers find where it actually comes in.
Cheap materials
Some roofers use whatever's cheapest. We use quality materials rated for Central Texas conditions.
Improper flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and walls is where most leaks originate. It requires specific techniques that many roofers shortcut.
Rush jobs
Some companies book 10 repairs a day and spend 30 minutes on each. We take the time to do it right.
Our approach: Diagnose the actual source, use quality materials, proper flashing techniques, check underlying structure, and guarantee our work.
How Does Our Austin Roof Repair Process Work?
Six steps: you call and we triage, we diagnose on the roof, we explain in plain English, we repair in one visit for most jobs, we show you photos of the finished work, and we guarantee it.
You Call, We Triage
Tell us what's going on. True emergencies get a crew dispatched same-day. Stable situations get honest advice and a scheduled visit, not emergency rates.
We Inspect and Diagnose
We get on your roof, find the source of the problem, and assess overall condition.
We Explain What We Found
No jargon, no scare tactics. We tell you what's wrong and what it costs to fix.
We Make the Repair
Quality materials, proper techniques. Most repairs completed in a single visit.
We Show You What We Did
Photos and explanation of the completed repair. You'll know exactly what was done.
We Guarantee the Work
If the repair fails, we come back and fix it. Period.
What Does a Real Austin Roof Repair Look Like?
Like this: an Austin skylight with failed flashing, diagnosed, rebuilt with a new metal flashing pan and fresh underlayment, and sealed watertight. Same crew from the first photo to the last.
Aging flashing at the skylight curb had failed and was letting water past the seal.
Curb stripped down, new metal flashing pan and peel-and-stick underlayment installed around the opening.
New aluminum flashing, sealed panes, watertight. Skylight repairs like this run $300-$700.
What Do Austin Roof Repairs Look Like Up Close?
Real jobs from real Austin roofs: the damage we find, the work in progress, and the finished fix.
Wind stripped a section of shingles down to the underlayment beside a dormer wall. Repaired the same week.
Damaged shingles cut back to sound decking and fresh synthetic underlayment before the new shingles go in.
Rotted decking replaced with a new plywood patch and synthetic underlayment around a pipe penetration.
New pipe boot flashing sealed around a plumbing vent. Failed boots are the most common source of ceiling stains we see.
New flue pipe, storm collar, and base flashing. A failed collar lets water run straight down the pipe into your attic.
Ridge vent replacement mid-install. Proper ridge ventilation helps shingles survive Austin summers.
What Counts as a Roofing Emergency in Austin?
Water actively entering your home, a hole from a tree or debris, a whole section of shingles gone, or a sagging roofline: those are emergencies, and we respond 24/7 with same-day tarping and stabilization. A stain that has not changed in months is not an emergency, and we will tell you so instead of charging you emergency rates.
What qualifies as an emergency:
- Water actively entering your home
- A hole in your roof from a tree limb or debris
- A whole section of shingles gone after a storm
- A sagging roofline or ceiling (keep everyone out of the room below)
Our emergency response:
- You call, a real person answers and triages
- Crew on site, typically within 2-4 hours
- We stop the water, tarp or board, and document everything for your claim
- Permanent repair follows in days, by the same crew
We monitor calls 24/7 for true emergencies
How Does Emergency Roof Tarping Work in Austin?
Emergency roof tarping in Austin costs $200 to $600 and protects your roof for up to 90 days. A properly installed tarp is the difference between a roof repair and a gutted living room. When your roof is opened up by a storm, tarping is almost always the first move.
- Installed the right way.Anchored above the ridge, secured with furring strips, and lapped so water sheds over it instead of under it.
- Rated for Texas weather.Heavy-duty tarps that hold up to sun and wind for up to 90 days while repairs or insurance move forward.
- Typically covered by insurance.Emergency tarping is standard mitigation on storm claims, and Texas policies require you to prevent further damage. We document it and include the cost in your claim paperwork.
Emergency repair in two stages:
Stage 1, same day: tarping, boarding, water diversion, and photo documentation. Stage 2, days later: permanent repair with matched shingles, flashing, and underlayment, by the same crew. Nothing falls through the cracks between the emergency visit and the repair, because it is one team.
Is Your Repair Covered by Insurance?
Storm damage usually is. Wear and tear usually isn't. Here's how it breaks down.
Usually Covered
- Storm damage (wind, hail, falling branches)
- Sudden and accidental damage
- Weather-related leaks
- Emergency mitigation (tarping and boarding)
Usually NOT Covered
- Normal wear and tear
- Neglected maintenance
- Gradual deterioration
How we help with insurance:
- We document all damage with photos, starting at the emergency visit
- We provide detailed repair estimates formatted for insurance
- We can meet with your adjuster on-site
- We help you understand what's claimable vs. what's not
Important: File your claim promptly. Most policies have time limits for reporting damage. If your damage came from a storm, our storm damage roof repair team handles the entire insurance process start to finish.

What Do Austin Homeowners Say About Our Roof Repairs?
Real reviews from homeowners who trusted us with their repairs, including the 2 AM emergency calls
David W.
Woke up to water dripping through my ceiling at 6 AM. Called Austin Roofing Company and they had someone here by 9 AM. Found the leak, made repairs, and I was dry before the next rainstorm hit that afternoon. Fast, professional, and fairly priced. Can't ask for more than that.
Angela S.
Several shingles blew off during a storm. Austin Roofing Company matched my 15-year-old shingles perfectly. I honestly can't tell where the repair was done. They also found and fixed a flashing issue I didn't know about. Thorough work at a fair price.
Carlos G.
Had a persistent leak around my chimney that two other companies couldn't fix. Austin Roofing Company diagnosed the real problem, failed step flashing, and repaired it properly. No more leaks, even through heavy storms. Should have called them first!
Michelle T.
Austin Roofing Company came out to fix a valley leak that had been slowly damaging our attic insulation. They replaced the deteriorated valley flashing and sealed everything up tight. Two months and several rainstorms later, not a single drop of water where the leak used to be.
James P.
Our skylight was leaking every time it rained, and I was worried it would need full replacement. Austin Roofing Company inspected it and found the flashing around the curb had failed. They re-flashed the entire skylight and it's been bone dry since. Saved me a fortune compared to replacing the whole unit.
Rachel M.
Called Austin Roofing Company about a musty smell in our bathroom and they traced it to a cracked vent boot on the roof. Quick repair, fair price, and the crew even checked all the other vent boots while they were up there. That kind of proactive service is hard to find.
Gregory L.
Water was pooling on our flat commercial roof and starting to seep through. Austin Roofing Company patched the membrane, fixed the drainage issue causing the ponding, and applied a protective coating. The repair has held perfectly through several heavy storms. Excellent flat roof expertise.
Linda K.
Our gutters were pulling away from the fascia and causing water to run behind them and into the soffit. Austin Roofing Company reattached everything, replaced a section of rotted fascia board, and made sure the drainage was flowing properly. Problem solved in a single afternoon.
Marcus J.
Austin Roofing Company repaired flashing around three pipe penetrations on our roof that were leaking into the walls. They removed the old corroded flashing, installed new lead boots, and sealed everything properly. Their attention to detail was impressive and the repairs have been watertight.
Susan D.
A large branch fell on our roof during a storm and cracked several shingles. Austin Roofing Company responded the same day, removed the debris, and replaced the damaged shingles with a perfect color match. They also checked the decking underneath for structural damage. Very thorough.
Brian F.
We had a stubborn leak in our roof valley that showed up every time we got heavy rain. Austin Roofing Company tore out the old valley metal, installed an ice and water shield membrane, and put in new flashing. The repair was clean and has been completely leak-free.
Tamara R.
Austin Roofing Company fixed a leak around our chimney that had been causing mold growth in the attic. They installed new counter flashing and sealed the cricket properly. The crew was respectful of our property and cleaned up everything when they were done.
Kevin H.
Had Austin Roofing Company repair wind-lifted shingles on the front slope of our house. They re-sealed the existing shingles where possible and replaced the ones that were too damaged. The repair blends in seamlessly and they finished the job in just a few hours.
Diane C.
Our flat roof over the garage addition had developed blisters and cracks in the membrane. Austin Roofing Company cut out the damaged sections, applied new material, and heat-welded all the seams. They clearly know flat roof systems inside and out. Great result.
Robert N.
Austin Roofing Company replaced a deteriorated vent boot that was letting water drip onto our bathroom ceiling. They also noticed that a nearby plumbing vent pipe was cracked and fixed that too. Honest crew that looks out for the homeowner rather than just doing the minimum.
Christina B.
We had an emergency leak during a July thunderstorm and Austin Roofing Company was there within three hours. They found where the flashing had separated at a roof-to-wall transition and repaired it on the spot. Incredibly responsive team and the fix has held through the rest of summer storm season.
Daniel A.
Austin Roofing Company repaired our skylight flashing after it started leaking during heavy rains. They removed the old sealant, installed proper step and counter flashing, and added a new ice and water barrier around the opening. Professional work that solved a problem we had been dealing with for months.
Paula E.
Called Austin Roofing Company to fix a gutter that had separated from the roofline and was dumping water against the foundation. They repaired the gutter, replaced the damaged drip edge, and adjusted the slope for better drainage. Quick fix that prevented what could have become a serious foundation issue.
Nathan W.
Austin Roofing Company repaired flashing around our bathroom exhaust vent that had corroded and started leaking. They used high-quality materials, sealed everything with precision, and even caulked a few other areas they noticed were starting to wear. Fair price for thorough, lasting work.
Stephanie O.
Had multiple shingles cracked and curling after years of Austin sun exposure. Austin Roofing Company replaced the damaged shingles across two roof sections and matched the color perfectly. They also resealed the ridge cap while they were up there. No surprise charges and the crew was punctual and courteous.
Victor G.
Our chimney cap was cracked and letting rain pour into the flue and down the interior wall. Austin Roofing Company replaced the cap, re-pointed the mortar joints, and installed new flashing around the base. They took photos of every step and explained exactly what they were doing. Top-notch repair work.
Greg Patterson
A storm opened up our roof at 11 PM and water was pouring into the kitchen. Austin Roofing Company answered the phone, had a crew here within three hours, and tarped everything in the rain. The permanent repair was done four days later. Cannot say enough good things.
Melissa Vance
A tree limb went through our roof during the spring storms. They boarded the hole and tarped it the same afternoon, then photographed everything for our insurance claim. The adjuster approved it without any pushback thanks to their documentation.
Whitney Dawson
Sunday morning leak, water dripping through a light fixture. I assumed nobody would answer on a weekend. Austin Roofing Company picked up, quoted the emergency dispatch fee upfront, and stopped the leak before lunch. Zero surprise charges.
Colleen Murphy
The tarp they installed held through two more storms before our insurance settlement came through. Properly anchored with furring strips, not just draped and weighted like the last company we used. These folks know what they are doing.
Derek Boone
What impressed me most was the documentation. Photos before, during, and after the emergency tarping, all organized for our claim. Our insurance covered the tarping and the full repair. Austin Roofing Company made the whole process painless.
Kristin Lowe
I called in a panic about a ceiling stain and they told me honestly that it was NOT an emergency and I should not pay emergency rates for it. They scheduled a standard repair for that week instead. That honesty won them a customer for life.
Chuck Weathers
Called three roofing companies at 10 PM during an active leak. Austin Roofing Company was the only one that answered with a real person who could actually dispatch a crew. That alone tells you who to save in your contacts.
Priya Raman
High winds peeled the flashing off our chimney and rain was getting in behind it. They came out the same day, sealed it temporarily, and replaced the flashing properly within the week. The leak never returned.

Have Questions About Roof Repair in Austin, TX?
Direct answers about repairs, emergencies, tarping, and insurance
- How fast can you get here for a roof repair in Austin?
- Same-day for emergencies: if water is actively coming in, we dispatch immediately and typically arrive within 2-4 hours anywhere in the Austin metro. Non-emergency repairs are usually scheduled within 1-3 days. Call (512) 640-2658 and we give you a real arrival window, not a vague promise.
- Is a leaking roof an emergency?
- Active dripping during or after a storm is an emergency because water spreads fast through insulation, drywall, and electrical. A stain that has not changed in months is urgent but not an emergency. If you are not sure, call and describe what you see. We will tell you honestly, and if it can safely wait, we schedule a standard repair instead of charging you emergency rates.
- How much does roof repair cost in Austin?
- Simple repairs like replacing a few shingles run $100-$300. Flashing repairs run $200-$600. Active leak repairs run $150-$500 depending on source and accessibility. Emergency visits run $300-$1,500 including stabilization. We provide free estimates before any work begins, and every price is quoted before we start.
- How much does emergency roof tarping cost in Austin?
- Most residential tarping jobs run $200 to $600 depending on the size and pitch of the affected area. If your damage leads to an insurance claim, tarping is typically reimbursable as emergency mitigation. Keep your receipt; we include it in your claim documentation.
- How long can a tarp stay on my roof?
- A properly installed tarp protects your roof for up to 90 days, though we aim to complete permanent repairs well before that. Tarps degrade in Texas sun and wind, so a tarp is a bridge to a repair, not a substitute for one.
- Can you repair a roof in the rain?
- We cannot do permanent repairs in active rain, but we can stabilize your roof. Emergency tarping and temporary water diversion are designed to be installed in bad weather. We stop the water first, then complete permanent repairs once conditions are safe.
- Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
- Call a roofer first. Your policy requires you to prevent further damage, and an emergency tarp does exactly that. We document everything before and during stabilization, so when you do file, your claim is supported by professional photos and notes instead of guesswork.
- Is my repair covered by insurance?
- Storm damage usually is: wind, hail, and falling debris are covered perils, and emergency mitigation like tarping is typically reimbursable. Normal wear and tear is not covered. We document damage thoroughly, establish the cause from the first photo, and help you understand what is claimable before you decide whether to file.
- What should I do while I wait for your crew?
- Move belongings out of the wet area, put down buckets or towels, and poke a small hole in any bulging ceiling bubble to release water in a controlled spot. Do not climb on the roof, especially when it is wet. Photograph everything for your claim.
- Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?
- Emergency response outside normal hours can carry a modest dispatch premium, which we tell you before we roll a truck. We do not do surprise pricing. You will know the cost of stabilization before we start.
- Will you try to sell me a new roof?
- Only if you actually need one. We're roofers, not salespeople. If a repair makes sense, that's what we recommend. We'll never push replacement when repair is the right answer.
- Can you fix a leak another roofer couldn't fix?
- Often, yes. Persistent leaks usually mean the source wasn't properly identified. We trace leaks to their actual origin, which is often far from where water appears inside.
- Will the repair match my existing roof?
- We make every effort to match materials. We can source many discontinued shingle lines. If an exact match isn't possible, we'll show you options before proceeding.
- How long will the repair last?
- A proper repair lasts many years. We diagnose the actual source, use quality materials rated for Central Texas conditions, and check the underlying structure so the fix holds.
- Do you offer warranties on repairs?
- Yes. We guarantee our repair work. If it fails, we come back and fix it at no additional charge. No arguments, no extra invoices.
- What if you find more damage than expected?
- We'll show you what we found and discuss options before doing any additional work. We never just add charges without your approval.
- Can I just get a temporary fix until I can afford a permanent repair?
- Yes. We can do temporary weatherproofing, including tarping from $200, to protect your home while you plan for more extensive work. A properly installed tarp buys you up to 90 days. We'll be honest about what temporary solutions can and can't do.
- What if the damage is too big to repair?
- If a section of roof is gone or the decking is compromised, we tarp and board the exposed areas first, then walk you through replacement options and the insurance process. Stabilization buys you time to make a good decision instead of a rushed one.
- Do you repair flat roofs?
- Yes. We repair all roof types including flat roofs, TPO, EPDM, metal, tile, and shingle roofs.
- My roof is old. Is it worth repairing?
- It depends. If the damage is localized and the rest of the roof is sound, repair often makes sense even on older roofs. If problems are widespread, replacement may be more economical. We'll give you an honest assessment.
