Should You Replace Your Roof?
Roof replacement is a significant investment—typically $10,000 to $20,000 for most Austin homes. That's real money. So the question isn't just "do I need a new roof?" It's "does replacement make financial sense compared to my other options?"
Sometimes the answer is clearly yes: your roof is failing, repairs won't solve the problem, and every month you wait means more damage and higher costs. Other times it's more nuanced: your roof has some life left, but you're weighing the cost of ongoing repairs against getting it over with.
We help you think through this decision honestly. We'll tell you the real condition of your roof, what repairs would cost, what replacement would cost, and which option makes more sense for your situation. We won't push replacement if repairs will serve you well.
Not sure what you need?
Start with a free inspection. We'll assess your roof's condition and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Repair vs. Replace: The Math
Here's how to think about this decision financially.
Repairs Make Sense When:
- Your roof is under 15 years old
- Damage is localized (one area, not widespread)
- Repair costs are less than 30% of replacement
- The underlying structure is sound
- You haven't had repeated repairs in the same area
Replacement Makes Sense When:
- Your roof is 20+ years old
- Damage is widespread (30%+ of roof)
- You've had multiple repairs that keep failing
- The decking underneath is damaged
- You're selling your home soon
A Simple Way to Think About It:
If your roof has 10+ years of life left and the repair costs less than $2,000-$3,000, repair usually makes sense. If your roof is near end-of-life and repairs would cost $3,000+, you're often better off putting that money toward replacement.
The break-even question: "How many years until repair costs equal replacement cost?" If that number is less than the expected lifespan of a new roof, replacement wins.

What's Your Situation?
Different reasons bring people to roof replacement. Here's how we can help.
"My roof is old and I know it needs to go"
Smart to be proactive. We'll help you choose materials, plan timing, and maximize value from your investment.
"I'm tired of paying for repairs"
When repair costs start adding up, replacement often makes more sense. Let's do the math together.
"I'm selling my house"
A new roof removes a major objection, speeds up sales, and prevents lowball offers. Often pays for itself in the sale price.
"Insurance is paying for a new roof"
We work with insurance companies daily. We'll make sure the work is done right and help if supplements are needed.
"I'm not sure if I should repair or replace"
That's exactly what we help with. We'll inspect, give you repair and replacement costs, and help you make the smart choice.
"I want to upgrade to better materials"
Maybe impact-resistant shingles for hail protection, or metal for longevity. We'll show you options and help you choose.
"I need to stay on budget"
We offer financing with low monthly payments. A new roof doesn't have to strain your finances.

What Austin Homeowners Say
Real reviews from homeowners who invested in roof replacement
Linda P.
Our 25-year-old roof was leaking in multiple places and insurance wouldn't cover any more repairs. Altair replaced everything with impact-resistant shingles. Insurance dropped our premium by 15%! The roof looks beautiful and knowing it's done right gives us peace of mind.
Mark D.
Replaced our roof before selling our home. Altair completed everything in 3 days, provided documentation for buyers, and the house sold in one week above asking price. Realtor said the new roof was a major factor. Money well spent.
Nancy J.
After 3 hail claims in 5 years, we decided to replace with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Altair handled the insurance coordination and installed a beautiful new roof. Already survived a hailstorm with zero damage. Should have upgraded years ago!
Charles W.
Our roof was over 30 years old and way past its lifespan. Altair tore everything off, replaced rotted decking, and installed GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with a lifetime warranty. The crew finished in two days and our home looks brand new from the street.
Rebecca S.
We upgraded to energy-efficient reflective shingles through Altair and noticed a real difference in our summer cooling bills. The old dark shingles were baking our attic, and the new roof cut our energy costs by nearly 20%. Great investment and Altair made the whole process seamless.
Frank H.
Altair replaced our aging three-tab shingles with architectural shingles that carry a GAF lifetime warranty. They handled the permit, coordinated with our HOA, and left the property spotless. The curb appeal upgrade alone was worth it, and the warranty gives us decades of protection.
Donna M.
After years of patching leaks on our 1990s roof, Altair convinced us that full replacement would save money long term. They were right. No more yearly repair bills, our insurance premium dropped, and the new roof added real value to our home.
Jason K.
We needed our roof replaced before closing on the sale of our house. Altair fast-tracked the project and had the new roof installed in under a week. The buyer was thrilled, and the sale closed on schedule without a single issue.
Carolyn R.
Altair walked us through the insurance process after our adjuster approved a full replacement. They coordinated every detail from the supplemental paperwork to scheduling around our family's routine. The new impact-resistant roof has already been through a hailstorm without a scratch.
Gerald T.
Our 28-year-old roof was well past its expected lifespan and showing significant granule loss across every slope. Altair replaced the entire system, including new underlayment and ridge ventilation. The house feels cooler and we finally have peace of mind during storm season.
Vivian L.
Altair installed Class 4 impact-resistant shingles on our home and helped us submit the documentation to our insurance company. We received a 12% discount on our annual premium. Between the savings and the superior protection, upgrading was one of the smartest decisions we have made.
Dennis B.
We chose Altair for a full roof replacement with energy-efficient cool-roof shingles. Our attic temperature dropped significantly and our AC runs less during the brutal Austin summers. Altair explained the options clearly and installed everything flawlessly in three days.
Sharon F.
Altair replaced our entire roof with GAF Timberline shingles and we received the Golden Pledge warranty, which covers both materials and workmanship for decades. Knowing that our investment is fully backed by one of the industry's best warranties is incredibly reassuring.
Wayne C.
Insurance approved our roof replacement after a major hailstorm and Altair handled everything from start to finish. They worked directly with our adjuster, managed the supplements, and installed a premium roof that far exceeded what we had before. Zero out-of-pocket beyond our deductible.
Gloria N.
Our home was built in 1985 and still had the original roof. Altair stripped it all down, replaced several sheets of decking that had water damage, and installed a modern roofing system. The difference in our home's comfort and appearance is remarkable. Wish we had done this sooner.
Russell A.
We were preparing to list our home and Altair recommended a full replacement rather than cosmetic repairs. The new roof helped us sell for $18,000 over asking price in just five days. Our realtor said the Altair roof gave buyers confidence that the home was well maintained.
Brenda E.
Altair replaced our old roof with a complete system that includes improved ventilation and radiant barrier underlayment. Our energy bills have dropped noticeably and the house stays more comfortable year-round. The crew was efficient, polite, and cleaned up every nail.
Craig V.
After getting four quotes for our roof replacement, we chose Altair because of their detailed scope of work and strong warranty offering. They delivered exactly what they promised with GAF lifetime shingles and flawless installation. Two storm seasons later, not a single issue.
Janet G.
Altair managed our insurance roof replacement from the initial claim through final inspection. They caught supplemental damage the adjuster missed, which covered the cost of new decking and upgraded flashing. Their expertise with insurance coordination saved us thousands of dollars.
Harold O.
Our twenty-year-old roof had been through countless Austin storms and was showing its age everywhere. Altair replaced it with impact-resistant architectural shingles that look fantastic. Our insurance company rewarded the upgrade with a significant premium reduction that will pay back the extra cost over time.
Tina W.
We needed a full roof replacement and Altair made the financing simple and affordable. The crew replaced our old worn-out shingles in just two days and the project manager kept us informed at every step. From the first estimate to the final walkthrough, Altair was professional and thorough.

Questions Homeowners Ask About Roof Replacement
Answers to the questions we hear most often
- How much does roof replacement cost in Austin?
- Most Austin roof replacements range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on roof size, material choice, and complexity. A typical 2,000 sq ft home with architectural shingles runs $12,000-$18,000. We provide detailed estimates with exact pricing based on your specific roof.
- Is roof replacement worth the investment?
- In most cases, yes. A new roof eliminates ongoing repair costs, increases home value by $12,000-$15,000 on average, can reduce energy bills by 10-25%, and often qualifies for insurance discounts. If your roof is old or damaged, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs.
- How much value does a new roof add to my home?
- According to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report, a new asphalt shingle roof recovers about 60-70% of its cost at resale. More importantly, a bad roof can scare off buyers entirely or lead to price reductions far exceeding replacement cost.
- Should I replace my roof before selling my house?
- Usually yes, if your roof is old or damaged. Buyers often demand price reductions of $15,000-$25,000+ for roof issues, more than the actual replacement cost. A new roof also makes your home more attractive and can speed up the sale.
- How do I know if I should repair or replace?
- Replace if: roof is 20+ years old, damage covers more than 30% of the roof, you've had multiple repairs, or the decking is damaged. Repair if: damage is localized, roof is under 15 years old, and the rest of the roof is sound. We'll give you an honest assessment.
- Will insurance pay for my roof replacement?
- If your roof was damaged by a covered event (storm, hail, wind), insurance typically covers replacement minus your deductible. Age-related wear and tear is not covered. We help with documentation and can meet with adjusters to support your claim.
- Do you offer financing for roof replacement?
- Yes. We offer several financing options including 0% interest plans for qualified buyers. Monthly payments can be as low as $150-$250 depending on the project. We include financing options in our estimates so you can see payment scenarios.
- How long does roof replacement take?
- Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 4-5 days. Weather can affect timing. We'll give you an accurate estimate and keep you informed throughout.
- What's the best roofing material for Austin?
- For most Austin homes, we recommend architectural shingles (best value) or impact-resistant shingles (Class 4, 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 priorities and budget.
- Will a new roof lower my energy bills?
- Often yes. Modern roofing materials with proper ventilation can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%. Reflective shingles and improved attic ventilation help your AC work less hard in Texas heat.
- Can a new roof lower my insurance premiums?
- Yes, often significantly. A new roof, especially one with impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles, can qualify for insurance discounts of 10-28% in Texas. The savings can offset a meaningful portion of your investment over time.
- What warranties do I get with a new roof?
- Our roof replacements include manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 25-50 years depending on product) plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty. As a GAF certified contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty packages that cover both materials and labor.
