Our Austin roofing service areas are the City of Austin and the surrounding Central Texas cities, served from our office at 13341 W US Hwy 290, including Bee Cave, Buda, Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, Georgetown, Kyle, Lakeway, Leander, Pflugerville, Round Rock and San Marcos. What changes from city to city is whether a re-roof needs a permit at all: Round Rock and Leander do not require one for a residential re-roof, Georgetown and Bee Cave do, and Lakeway only does when the roof's material, design or slope changes. The table lists each city's building department and the one rule most likely to affect your project, with a full page for each.

Rules that apply everywhere in Texas
Wherever you live, Texas law bars a contractor from offering to waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible, and does not let a roofer act as your public adjuster. The claim stays yours; our photos make sure nothing gets missed in the scope. Inside City of Austin limits, homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface area also need a Class A roof assembly. Services: roof repair, roof replacement, storm damage repair, insurance claim help, residential roofing, asphalt shingles, metal, tile, slate, synthetic cedar, commercial roofing and gutters.
