Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Hornsby Bend
Roofing in Hornsby Bend comes with a set of rules most city roofers never think about. This is unincorporated Travis County, not Austin proper. That means county permits, septic drain fields you can’t park a dump trailer on, and material hauls that eat time if nobody plans for them. Our crews work in Hornsby Bend every week, so we already know which roads slow a loaded truck down and which lots have wellheads sitting right where the tear-off pile wants to go. If your roof is leaking, hail-damaged, or just fifteen years past its warranty, call (254) 540-7345. A live person answers, and you’ll get a written price before any work starts.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Austin Is Hornsby Bend’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tilehurst Roofing Austin is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000. Greg Holloway leads our Austin operation, and he’s built the team around one idea: homeowners in Hornsby Bend have been burned by roofers who quote one number and hand over a different invoice after the tear-off. That doesn’t happen with us. You get a written price before a single shingle comes off, and a written guarantee on every repair before the crew leaves the property. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and make it right at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
We’ve worked on homes throughout Hornsby Bend’s mix of old and new construction. From original 1980s ranches off FM 973 to newer builds in Colorado Crossing, the housing stock varies wildly, and so does what’s under the shingles. A roof on an older manufactured home might hide thin decking and no underlayment, while a 2014-era home could have builder-grade 3-tabs already failing. Knowing the difference before we quote is what keeps our Hornsby Bend estimates honest. Homeowners in Hornsby Bend call us because our Roofing Company team shows up in the window we promised, cleans the site better than we found it, and never asks you to trust a handshake over a written contract.
Styles & brands we work with






Commercial Roofing in Hornsby Bend
Commercial Roofing in Hornsby Bend has to contend with building codes set by Travis County, not the City of Austin, and with rural siting questions most commercial crews never face. We handle small commercial roofs across Hornsby Bend: shop buildings on acreage lots, detached office structures, community buildings, and mixed-use buildings that sit close to FM 973. A flat or low-slope commercial roof here takes a beating from the same hail and wind-driven rain that hits residential roofs, but with one added wrinkle: drainage. Many commercial buildings in Hornsby Bend sit on flat ground near the Colorado River floodplain, so a poorly sloped roof or a clogged scupper becomes a water infiltration risk fast. We inspect the roof’s drainage path every time we quote a commercial job, because water that pools is water that finds a seam.
Commercial Roof Budgeting
Most commercial re-roofs in Hornsby Bend run $6.50 to $11.00 per square foot for a single-ply membrane system like TPO or EPDM. Coating an existing metal commercial roof with a silicone restoration system runs $1.75 to $3.00 per square foot. We walk every commercial roof before quoting, look at what’s actually failing, and give you a written line-item price. No change orders at the door.
Commercial Scheduling and Access
We schedule commercial roofing in Hornsby Bend around your operation, not ours. If you run a shop that can’t close, we work evenings and weekends. Site access matters on acreage lots: we confirm where tear-off trailers can stage without damaging septic fields, and we plan material drops for the truck turnarounds that actually exist on rural Hornsby Bend roads. Call (254) 540-7345 for a commercial roof assessment and a free estimate.
Metal Roof Installation in Hornsby Bend
Metal Roof Installation in Hornsby Bend keeps growing in popularity, and for good reason. Hail and high wind are the two biggest threats to a roof in this part of Travis County, and standing-seam metal stands up to both better than any asphalt product. Many Hornsby Bend homeowners with shops, barns, or detached ADUs are putting metal roofs on those structures first, then considering it for the main house. A metal roof reflects more heat than dark shingles, which matters when summer sun beats down on an exposed acreage lot. And in a place where wildfire and wind-driven debris are part of the landscape, the fire resistance and impact rating of metal roofing make real sense.
Metal Roof Pricing
For a standing-seam metal roof in Hornsby Bend, expect to pay $14 to $18 per square foot installed, which includes tear-off of the old roof, new underlayment, and drip edge. A screw-down metal panel roof runs $8 to $12 per square foot, and it’s a solid option for shops, barns, and outbuildings where curb-appeal uniformity matters less. Metal costs more up front than asphalt, but a metal roof here regularly outlasts two asphalt roofs. You’ll need to decide whether that math works for how long you’ll stay in the house. We’ll help you run the numbers before you commit.
Underlayment and Ventilation on Rural Lots
Metal roofs amplify heat in the attic if you don’t fix the ventilation. On Hornsby Bend homes with no shade and weak attic airflow, we install the appropriate ridge vent and intake ventilation before the metal goes on. The same humid summers that warp decking on old ranch homes will sweat the underside of a metal roof if the ventilation isn’t balanced. We scope that before we quote, not after the roof is on.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hornsby Bend
We’re not tied to one manufacturer, and that matters for Hornsby Bend homeowners who want a roof that fits their house rather than whatever brand happened to be on the truck. We install and service GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral roofing products. If we’re matching an existing roof on a 1980s ranch or a newer Colorado Crossing home, we can pull from any of the seven manufacturers to hit the right profile and color. That’s the difference between a patch that shows and a repair that disappears. We keep common trim, ridge cap, and flashing components stocked for fast turnaround on Hornsby Bend repairs, so a small leak doesn’t become a long wait.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Hornsby Bend Homes
- Original 3-tab shingles with thin underlayment east of FM 973. Homes built in the 1980s and 90s here often have no secondary water barrier. Wind-driven rain from spring squalls finds its way under the shingles and into the plywood, and you won’t know until the ceiling stains.
- Septic drain field and wellhead staging conflicts. On acreage lots, the natural place to park a dump trailer is sometimes right on top of a drain field. We map the septic and well locations before we ever bring equipment onto the property.
- Hail damage that’s easy to underestimate. A spring hailstorm in Hornsby Bend can leave dozens of impact points that don’t leak for a year. Once the granule loss starts, though, the shingle’s structural life is gone. We count the strikes and document them for your insurance claim.
- Attic heat and moisture buildup from low-slope or poorly vented roofs. Hot, humid summers cook unventilated attics and shorten shingle life fast. We balance ridge vent and soffit intake on every re-roof so the decking and shingles aren’t fighting the climate.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Hornsby Bend, TX
Most asphalt-shingle roof replacements in Hornsby Bend run $5.50 to $7.50 per square foot, with architectural shingles on the higher end and 3-tabs at the low end. Tear-off of the old roof usually adds $1.50 to $2.25 per square foot.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Hornsby Bend
No. Hornsby Bend is unincorporated Travis County, not City of Austin jurisdiction, so roof replacements go through Travis County permitting. The process is different, and the required inspections can be different. We handle the county permit on every Hornsby Bend roof replacement, and we include permit fees in your written quote. Call (254) 540-7345 if you want to know exactly what your roof needs from a permitting standpoint before you commit.
We locate the drain field and wellhead before we stage anything on your lot. That means no dump trailer parked on the drain field, no material stacks over lateral lines, and no lift truck traffic across a leach field that’s already saturated. We adjust our staging to the shape of your lot so the roof gets replaced without compacting your system. If you know roughly where your septic lines run, tell us at the estimate; we’ll confirm with a detectable tracer if needed.
Possibly, and it will be obvious during the tear-off. Homes built in Hornsby Bend in the 1980s and early 90s often have 3/8-inch or 7/16-inch plywood decking, some of which has water damage from years of failed 3-tab shingles. We inspect every sheet once the old roof is off, replace rotted or delaminated sections, and photograph everything for you before the new underlayment goes down. You get a written price for decking replacement before we start, not after we find it. At (254) 540-7345, you can schedule a free inspection to see how your decking is holding up before you decide.
We scope the site’s slope and surrounding grade before we quote. Many Honey Bend lots east of FM 973 sit low and flat, which means roof water can’t be relied on to run away from the foundation. We check gutter fall, downspout termination, and whether any roof plane dumps water onto a side yard with no exit. Then we quote drainage corrections as line items, not afterthoughts. A roof that doesn’t shed water properly will fail from the edges inward, so drainage planning is part of every Hornsby Bend estimate.
Yes. Since we work with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, we can usually match the specific shingle product and color from your original roof. On older roofs where the color line is discontinued, we’ll bring physical samples to your home in Hornsby Bend so you can choose the closest match in natural daylight before we order material. We stock common profile matching in the Austin warehouse, which keeps turnaround on one-slope repairs faster than a special order. Call (254) 540-7345 for a repair estimate and we’ll bring the sample board with us.
