Roof Replacement in Austin
Yes — Zilker Roofing performs full roof replacements for Austin homeowners when replacement is warranted by roof age, widespread damage, or system condition. We use quality materials, complete tear-off practices, and careful installation backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty. Before recommending replacement, we inspect the roof to confirm that repair is not the better answer.
What a Replacement Includes
A Zilker Roofing replacement is a full roofing-system installation, beginning with tear-off of the existing roof. We inspect the decking, address damaged decking where needed, install code-compliant underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and shingles using Owens Corning materials as a Preferred Contractor. The work is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty with Owens Corning and Malarkey material warranties carrying limited-lifetime coverage against manufacturing defects (and multi-decade non-prorated terms on a complete system). The goal is a roof built correctly from the deck up.

The Replacement Process
The process starts with an inspection to confirm that replacement is warranted and to identify visible scope considerations. We then provide a detailed estimate covering materials, labor, and timeline. Most residential roof replacements in Austin are completed in one to two days depending on size, complexity, weather, and decking condition. After tear-off, we inspect the deck, install the new system, clean up the property, and review the finished work.

When Storm Damage Leads to Replacement
If a roof inspection shows storm damage severe enough that replacement may be warranted, homeowners insurance may be involved depending on the policy, deductible, carrier review, and documented roof condition. Zilker Roofing inspects and documents the damage and can explain, educationally, what a Summary of Damages or scope of loss means — so you understand your own claim paperwork — and we provide our own detailed, independent roofing estimate. The claim remains yours: you and your insurer file, review, and settle it, and you decide whether to file at all. Zilker Roofing does not use Assignment of Benefits contracts and is not a licensed public adjuster, so we do not file claims on your behalf, review your carrier's scope, or negotiate with your insurance carrier.
Common question: Will insurance cover my roof replacement after storm damage?
Full Tear-Off. No Shortcuts.
No — Zilker Roofing does not install new shingles over an existing roof system. A full tear-off allows us to inspect the decking, correct hidden issues, and install the new roof system properly.
