Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Austin
Roof repair in Austin usually runs $350 – $950 for a targeted fix like a vent boot or flashing repair, and $500 – $1,400 for a larger shingle or flat roof patch. We can typically diagnose and complete most repairs the same week we get your call. Tilehurst Roofing Austin keeps crews stationed locally so you’re not waiting on someone from across the metro. Call (254) 540-7345 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a written price before any work starts.
Austin’s combination of Hill Country sun, sudden spring hailstorms, and flash-flood downpours means roofs here take a beating in ways roofs in flatter, drier Texas cities don’t. The heat alone can cook a shingle to brittleness in a decade. Add a hailstorm that bruises the mat underneath and you’ve got a repair that looks fine from the street but leaks by fall. We know what to look for because we’re here, working Austin roofs all year.
Key Takeaways
- Most Austin roof repairs land between $350 and $1,400 depending on scope and materials.
- Austin’s wind-load code (ASCE 7-16, 110 mph basic wind speed) means repairs must match the existing roof’s fastening pattern, not just replace the visible shingle.
- Every Tilehurst repair comes with a written guarantee, and if it fails within a year, we return free under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
- We stock materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, Boral, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, so you get the right product for your roof, not whatever is in the truck.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Austin Is Austin’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We’re the Austin member of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, which has been doing residential roofing since 2000. That means we operate under the same standard every Kingswell location follows: price in writing before work begins, a written guarantee on every repair, and a live person answering the phone around the clock. Our Austin customers tell us the thing they value most is not having to chase anyone down after the crew leaves. The guarantee is in their hands before we pack up.
Greg Holloway leads our Austin location. He’s the person who makes sure a repair promised on Tuesday happens on Tuesday, and that the technician on your roof is background-checked, uniformed, and knows exactly what the job scope says. If something doesn’t look right from the street after we finish, you call and speak to a person. Not a voicemail tree.
We serve the whole Austin metro, from central neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Travis Heights out through subdivisions in southwest and northeast Austin. Dispatch is coordinated from our Austin office, so the technician arriving at your door is someone local who knows the difference between an Allandale ranch house and a Hill Country custom build.
Styles & brands we work with






Flat Roof Repair in Austin
Flat roof repair in Austin typically costs $400 – $1,200 depending on whether we’re patching a seam, replacing a section of membrane, or redoing flashing around a curb or penetration. Austin homes built in the 1960s through the 1980s often have flat or low-slope sections over additions, porches, or carports, and these roofs take the brunt of our intense UV exposure. The sun breaks down the membrane faster here than in most of the country, which means seams and flashings fail first.
A flat roof leak in Austin usually shows up as a stain on the ceiling after a heavy rain, but the actual entry point can be several feet away. Water travels along the roof deck before it finds a gap. We trace it back to the source rather than just smearing sealant over the visible crack, because a $150 patch that misses the real entry point is a $1,500 ceiling repair next spring.
Seam and Flashing Repairs
Seams on older modified bitumen or TPO roofs open up as the material expands and contracts in Austin’s heat. We clean the seam, apply the correct primer and membrane patch, and seal the edges so water can’t get underneath. Flashing around AC curbs, vents, and skylights is the second most common flat roof failure point here, especially after a spring storm pushes water sideways.
Ponding Water and Drainage Fixes
Flat roofs in Austin are prone to ponding after the kind of intense, short-duration storms we get in May and September. Standing water accelerates membrane breakdown and can find its way through seams that would otherwise hold. We check the slope and drainage path as part of any flat roof repair, because a repair that doesn’t address where the water sits is a temporary fix at best.
Shingle Roof Repair in Austin
Shingle roof repair in Austin runs $350 – $1,400, with the most common job being hail-bruise or wind-lift replacement on a section of roof. Austin sits on the edge of the Hill Country, where storm cells tend to intensify as they move east off the higher ground. Hail hits certain neighborhoods harder than others, and the damage isn’t always visible from the ground. You need someone on the roof, checking for bruising under the shingle mat.
We replace damaged shingles with a product that matches the existing roof in both color and profile, and we fasten it to the same pattern the manufacturer requires for Austin’s wind zone. Just nailing on a matching shingle is how cheap repairs fail at the fasteners six months later when a thunderstorm rolls through with 50 mph gusts. The repair has to hold the same wind rating as the roof around it.
Hail Damage Assessment and Repair
After a spring hailstorm, we walk the roof looking for bruising, which shows up as soft spots in the shingle mat where the hail fractured the fiberglass underneath. Gravel loss at the surface is one sign, but the real damage is often hidden. We document what we find so you have something concrete for an insurance claim, and we repair only what’s damaged, not the whole roof unless it actually needs it.
Wind-Lift and Fastener Repairs
Austin’s wind-load requirement is based on a 110 mph basic wind speed per ASCE 7-16, and shingles on a steep roof in a high-wind corridor have to be fastened accordingly. If a previous repair used the wrong nailing pattern or the wrong shingle, the first strong storm lifts the field and you’re back to square one. We match the fastening pattern to the existing roof and the manufacturer’s high-wind spec.
Trusted Brands We Service in Austin
We work with shingles and membranes from seven major manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, and Boral, so the repair product fits what’s already on your Austin roof. If your home was reroofed with a CertainTeed shingle ten years ago, we can match it. If you’ve got a Boral tile roof in a historic district, we can source the matching tile rather than leaving you with a mismatched patch that wouldn’t pass historic review. We carry common local stock at our Austin shop for fast turnaround, and special-order items arrive quickly because we’re set up with all seven suppliers.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Austin Homes
- Hail bruising on shingles west of MoPac. Storm cells intensify over the Hill Country and drop hail that fractures the shingle mat. The shingle looks fine from the ground but leaks within a year when the bruise turns soft.
- Original wood shake under layers of asphalt. Central Austin bungalows in Hyde Park and Travis Heights often still have cedar shake under multiple layers of shingles. That hidden layer rots, softens the decking, and causes persistent leaks that a surface patch can’t solve.
- Flashing failures at valleys and chimneys after intense rain. Austin’s flash-flood downpours push water sideways into flashing joints that would hold in a gentler climate. Valley metal and chimney flashing are our most common leak sources in older homes.
- Summer UV degradation on south-facing slopes. The sun beats down hard here, and a south-facing asphalt shingle roof in Austin ages faster than one in a midwestern city. Granule loss and curling at the edges mean the shingle is at the end of its useful life, even if it’s only been on the roof for a decade.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Austin
Yes. Austin’s building code requires repairs to match the existing roof’s fastening pattern and uplift resistance under ASCE 7-16 with a 110 mph basic wind speed for most residential zones. Even a small shingle replacement has to be fastened to the same wind rating as the roof around it. Cheaper crews skip this because high-wind nailing takes more fasteners and more time. We don’t skip it, because a repair that doesn’t meet the code is a repair that fails early and a repair you can’t document for insurance. Call (254) 540-7345 for a quote that states the wind rating in writing.
A code-compliant quote should list the specific shingle or membrane product, the fastener type and nailing pattern, and a line confirming the repair meets ASCE 7-16 wind-load requirements for a 110 mph wind speed zone. It should also state whether a permit is included and who pulls it. If a quote just says “replace damaged shingles” with no product name and no fastening spec, it’s not a quote you can hold anyone to. Our quotes at Tilehurst Roofing Austin include all of that in writing before you pay a dollar.
Take photos before and after, keep the written quote and the final invoice, and make sure both list the specific damage and the specific repair. Your roofer should also give you a dated report showing what was found on the roof, including any hail bruising or wind-lift. We provide a written repair report on every Austin job, and our guarantee lists exactly what was fixed and for how long. That documentation is what an adjuster wants to see when you file.
In many cases, yes. Structural repairs or changes in historic districts like Old West Austin require a permit and often review by the Historic Landmark Commission, and the repair must match the existing material and style. Skipping the permit doesn’t save money in the end, because code enforcement can stop the job and you’ll be the one paying the fine. We handle the permit process for you and make sure the repair meets historic district material rules before the crew arrives. Call (254) 540-7345 and we’ll tell you what applies to your specific address.
Yes. Ask for the specific manufacturer and product name, then look up the product’s wind rating on the manufacturer’s website. Every shingle rated for high-wind application has documentation from the manufacturer stating the wind speed it’s approved for when installed to the correct nailing pattern. If the roofer can’t name the product or won’t show you the rating, the repair likely won’t meet Austin’s wind-load requirement. We’re happy to give you the product name and spec sheet before we even quote, so you can verify it yourself.
If your roof is leaking or you suspect hail damage from the last storm, call (254) 540-7345. You’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a free estimate with a written price before any work starts. Tilehurst Roofing Austin stands behind every repair with a written guarantee and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
