Code-Compliant Installation
We include all code-required components — drip edge and proper ventilation — plus ice & water shield protection where it adds value, and document them for insurance and permit records.

The right shingles. The whole roof.
Asphalt shingles come in different profiles, colors, and product lines. The roof beneath them matters, too. Start with its condition, then compare the shingles and supporting components in your written estimate.
What We Install
A shingle roof includes more than the shingles you see. Your proposal should identify the shingle product, starter, valley protection, underlayment, flashing, pipe boots, and ventilation work. Ask about current Owens Corning, GAF, and Malarkey options and the written warranty for the product being proposed.
Is It Time to Replace Your Shingle Roof?
Roof repair is appropriate for localized damage when the surrounding system is sound — such as a small leak, a few damaged shingles, or a flashing problem. Replacement is warranted when damage is widespread, the roof is near the end of its useful life, or the system can no longer be repaired reliably. A roof inspection determines which is appropriate, and we recommend repair when repair is right.
Asphalt Shingles and Insurance Claims
If a storm damages shingles, Zilker can inspect visible roofing conditions, provide photos and written observations, and prepare an estimate for proposed roofing work. The property owner decides whether to file a claim; the insurer determines policy coverage and claim handling. Zilker may explain its own estimate and scope, but does not negotiate or adjust the claim.

What you can expect
Clear from the start.
5-Year Workmanship Warranty
Roof replacements carry a 5-year Zilker workmanship warranty and repairs a 2-year workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer's material warranty (Owens Corning and Malarkey shingles carry limited-lifetime coverage against manufacturing defects, with enhanced non-prorated terms available on a full manufacturer system).

A few good questions.
What are asphalt shingles made of?
Asphalt shingles use asphalt, a reinforcing mat, and surface granules; exact construction varies by product line. Compare the manufacturer’s product information and have the written scope identify the shingle and included components.
How long do shingle roofs typically last?
There is no single service life for every asphalt-shingle roof. Product, installation, exposure, ventilation, maintenance, and roof condition affect a particular system. A manufacturer warranty is not a promise of a specific service life; an inspection assesses the roof that is actually installed.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth the upgrade?
Some shingles are tested and marketed for impact resistance, but a rating does not mean a roof cannot be damaged by hail. Any insurance discount depends on the insurer and policy; ask your insurer before treating a discount as part of the material decision. The written proposal should name the product and rating being considered.
How do I know if my shingles need repair or replacement?
Curling, cracking, missing shingles, flashing concerns, leaks, or granules in gutters are reasons to have the roof assessed; no single sign determines replacement. An inspection documents visible condition and helps compare a targeted repair with replacement. Ask about inspection scope and any fee before scheduling work beyond a standard visit.
Can Zilker Roofing help with my shingle roof replacement?
Yes. We inspect the shingles and the surrounding roof components before recommending repair or replacement. Your written proposal identifies the roofing work and product. For storm damage, we can give you photos, observations, and an estimate to discuss with your insurer.
