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.

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.
From Bare Deck to Finished Roof
Two real new-construction jobs from the Austin area: the roof deck the framers hand us, and the finished roof we hand back to the builder.

Answers for builders, contractors, and homeowners

- 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.

- 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?

- 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.
