What Austin Roof Installation Project Are You Planning?
Roof installation in Austin is different from roof replacement. With new construction, there's no old roof to remove. We're starting fresh on new framing. That means cleaner work, easier coordination, and an opportunity to do everything right from the beginning.
Whether you're building a custom home, adding a room, or constructing an accessory building, we bring the same quality materials and expert craftsmanship to every project. We work with builders and general contractors as a trusted subcontractor, or directly with homeowners on owner-built projects.
Our installation crews understand construction schedules. We show up when we're supposed to, work efficiently, keep a clean site, and don't hold up other trades. We've built relationships with builders throughout Central Texas by being reliable and easy to work with.
Are you a builder or contractor?
We'd love to be your roofing partner. We offer competitive pricing for volume work, reliable scheduling, and quality that reflects well on your projects. Call us to discuss your needs.

Material Options for New Construction
Starting fresh means you can choose exactly what you want.
Architectural Shingles
MOST POPULARMulti-dimensional look, excellent durability, wide color selection. Best balance of cost and performance for most Austin homes. This is what most builders spec and most homeowners choose.
$4-$6/sq ft
25-30 year warranty
Impact-Resistant Shingles (Class 4)
RECOMMENDEDDesigned to withstand hail. Often qualifies for 10-28% insurance discount in Texas, which can offset the higher cost over time. Smart choice for Central Texas.
$5-$8/sq ft
30-50 year warranty
Standing Seam Metal
LONGEST LASTINGExtremely durable, energy efficient, distinctive modern look. Higher upfront cost but can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Popular for Hill Country homes.
$8-$15/sq ft
40-70 year warranty
Clay or Concrete Tile
PREMIUMBeautiful, extremely durable, great for Mediterranean or Spanish architecture. Heaviest option, but new construction framing can be designed for tile weight.
$10-$20+/sq ft
50+ year warranty
Prices are per square foot of roof area, not home floor area. Actual cost depends on roof complexity and specific product chosen. We provide detailed estimates for your project.
How Our Austin Roof Installation Process Works
New construction is cleaner than replacement: no tear-off, no surprises under the old roof. Here's how we deliver a new roof installation Austin builders can count on:
Coordination & Scheduling
We coordinate with your builder/GC to schedule installation at the right point in construction, after framing and sheathing are complete.
Decking Inspection
We verify the decking is properly installed and ready for roofing. Any issues are flagged for the framing crew before we proceed.
Underlayment & Moisture Barriers
We install synthetic underlayment and ice/water shield in valleys, around penetrations, and along eaves, the critical moisture protection layer.
Drip Edge & Flashing
We install drip edge along all edges and flashing around vents, pipes, chimneys, skylights, and anywhere else water could enter.
Roofing Material Installation
We install your chosen roofing material with proper technique, fastening, and manufacturer specifications.
Ventilation & Ridge
We install ridge vents, hip caps, and ensure proper attic ventilation for energy efficiency and roof longevity.
Cleanup & Documentation
We clean the job site, remove all debris, and provide warranty documentation. Your roof is ready for the next phase of construction.

We hired Austin Roofing Company to install architectural asphalt shingles on our newly constructed home. They walked us through color and material options, helped us pick a shingle rated for hail, and the finished roof exceeded our expectations. Truly professional installation from start to finish.
Jason M.
Austin Roofing Company installed a solar-ready roof on our new construction so we could add panels down the road. They reinforced the mounting points and positioned the flashing to make future solar installation seamless. Forward-thinking approach that will save us money later.

Austin Roofing Company handled the roof installation for our garage addition and tied it into the existing roofline flawlessly. The transition is invisible, and they even color-matched the new shingles to our weathered originals. Could not be happier with their craftsmanship.

We wanted impact-resistant shingles for our new build to lower insurance costs. Austin Roofing Company recommended the best Class 4 product for our budget, installed it expertly, and our premiums dropped by nearly 20 percent. Smart recommendation and flawless execution.
Carlos D.
Austin Roofing Company installed a metal roof on our new barndominium and the quality is outstanding. They handled every detail from the ridge vents to the drip edge with care. The roof sheds water beautifully and keeps the interior noticeably cooler than our old home.
Heather N.
We added a second-story master suite and Austin Roofing Company installed the new roof section and blended it into the existing structure. Their framing coordination with our builder was excellent, and the finished roofline looks like it was always part of the original house.
Douglas T.
Austin Roofing Company installed our custom home roof with solar panel integration already planned out. They worked directly with our solar installer to position conduit runs and reinforced mounting zones. The coordination between trades was seamless and saved us significant cost down the line.
Pamela J.
Chose Austin Roofing Company for a clay tile installation on our new Mediterranean home. Their tile crew clearly had years of experience. Every row was perfectly aligned and the hip and ridge details are gorgeous. They also installed proper underlayment for Texas storms. Worth every penny.
Gregory A.
Austin Roofing Company installed architectural shingles on our new construction and managed the entire permit and inspection process. The city inspector complimented the installation quality, which I'm told is rare. Clean work, great communication, and a roof that looks fantastic from the street.
Veronica S.
Austin Roofing Company put a standing seam metal roof on our modern farmhouse build and it is the standout feature of the entire house. Their panel alignment is ruler-straight and the concealed fastener system means a perfectly clean look. Neighbors stop to ask who did our roof.
Anthony R.
We built a guest house on our property and Austin Roofing Company installed the roof to match our main home perfectly. They sourced the same shingle line despite it being a few years old and the color match is spot on. Their willingness to go the extra mile sets them apart.
Christine E.
Austin Roofing Company installed a new metal roof on our home and incorporated upgraded ridge ventilation that has made a noticeable difference in our attic temperatures. Their crew was knowledgeable about airflow design and the installation was completed on time and on budget.

Our builder brought in Austin Roofing Company for the roof installation on a complex multi-gable design. They handled every valley, hip, and transition with precision. The finished roof passed inspection on the first visit, which our builder said almost never happens with intricate rooflines.
Rebecca V.
Austin Roofing Company installed a solar-ready asphalt shingle roof on our new home and pre-wired conduit paths through the attic. When we added solar panels six months later, the solar company said it was the cleanest roof prep they had ever seen. Austin Roofing Company thinks ahead and it shows.

Answers for builders, contractors, and homeowners
- Do you work with builders and general contractors?
- Yes. We partner with builders and GCs throughout Central Texas on new construction projects. We coordinate with your construction schedule, handle permits, and maintain clean job sites. Many builders use us as their preferred roofing contractor.
- How much does new roof installation cost?
- New construction roofing typically costs $4-$8 per square foot for asphalt shingles, $8-$15 for metal, and $10-$20+ for tile, depending on complexity. A typical 2,000 sq ft home runs $12,000-$20,000 for architectural shingles. We provide detailed estimates for your specific project.
- How long does new roof installation take?
- Most new construction roof installations take 1-3 days once we're on-site. Timing depends on roof size, complexity, and material. We coordinate with your builder to fit the construction schedule and avoid delays to other trades.
- Can you match my existing roof for an addition?
- In most cases, yes. We source matching or closely matching materials for additions. If your existing shingles are discontinued, we'll show you options that blend well. For older roofs, sometimes the best approach is re-roofing both the existing roof and addition together for a seamless look.
- What materials do you recommend for new construction in Austin?
- For most Austin homes, we recommend architectural shingles (best value) or impact-resistant Class 4 shingles (better hail protection, often qualifies for insurance discounts). Metal roofing is excellent for longevity and energy efficiency. We'll help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic goals, and performance requirements.
- Do you install roofs on ADUs and accessory buildings?
- Yes. We install roofs on ADUs (accessory dwelling units), garages, workshops, pool houses, barns, and other accessory structures. Same quality materials and workmanship as primary residences.
- Can you help with patio covers and outdoor structures?
- Yes. We install roofing on patio covers, pergolas, carports, and outdoor kitchens. We can match your home's roofing or use different materials suited to outdoor structures.
- What's included in a new construction roof installation?
- Everything: decking inspection/coordination, underlayment, ice and water shield in critical areas, drip edge, flashing around all penetrations, ventilation (ridge vents, soffit vents), your chosen roofing material, cleanup, and warranty documentation. We coordinate with other trades for a seamless build.
- Do you handle permits for new construction roofing?
- We can handle roofing permits, or coordinate with your builder if they're pulling permits for the entire project. Either way, we ensure all work meets code requirements.
- What warranties do you offer on new installations?
- Our new roof installations include a 10-year workmanship warranty on top of a Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty. As a GAF certified contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty packages that cover both materials and labor.
- How do you coordinate with the construction schedule?
- We work closely with your builder or GC to schedule installation at the right point in construction: after framing and sheathing, before interior work begins. We're flexible and can adjust to schedule changes. Clear communication keeps your project on track.
- Can I upgrade materials from what my builder spec'd?
- Usually yes. If your builder has spec'd basic materials and you want to upgrade to impact-resistant shingles, metal, or other premium options, we can work with you and your builder to make that happen. The cost difference is often smaller than you'd expect.
