FAQs – Roofing Types in Austin, TX

What types of roofs do you work on?

We service shingle roofs, metal roofs, tile roofs, and flat/TPO systems. Our team is trained to inspect, repair, and replace each type with the appropriate methods and materials.

What’s the best roof type for Austin’s climate?

Composition shingles remain the most popular, but metal roofs offer excellent durability in Texas heat and hail. Flat roofs with TPO are common for commercial buildings. We’ll recommend the best fit based on your property and budget.

Can you help me upgrade from shingles to metal or tile?

Yes. We’ll evaluate your existing roof structure and help determine if an upgrade is feasible. Metal and tile are heavier and may require framing adjustments, but we’ll guide you through every step.

Are metal roofs louder during rain or hail?

No, not when installed correctly. Modern metal roofing systems include underlayment and decking that buffer sound, so they’re often just as quiet as shingles.

Do flat roofs need more maintenance than pitched roofs?

Flat roofs require more regular inspections since water doesn’t shed as easily. With proper maintenance and drainage, a flat roof can perform well for many years.
