Greg Holloway leads our Austin crew, and he’ll be the one walking your roof before we quote it.

Austin isn’t a remote market for us. It’s where our trucks run daily.

Why Tilehurst Roofing Austin Is Austin’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We’re part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and our Austin location operates under the same standard: written price first, show up in the window we give, leave the job site cleaner than we found it. Austin homeowners have told us the same stories for years. The roofer who ghosted. The quote that doubled at the door. The repair that failed before the next rain. We built our process around not being that company.
Our Roof Replacement crew is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s on your roof and why they’re there. When a spring storm rolls through northwest Austin and you need someone to look at your shingles, you call (254) 540-7345 and talk to a person, not a voicemail. Evening, weekend, doesn’t matter.
We know the difference between a 1930s bungalow in Hyde Park and a 2005 tract home in Circle C. The roof requires a different approach, different materials, and sometimes a different conversation with the city. That local knowledge is what keeps us from getting surprised mid-job, and it’s what keeps you from getting a change order you never saw coming.
New Roof Installation in Austin
New roof installation in Austin means a full tear-off down to the decking, new underlayment, new flashings, and new shingles or metal all installed to current code. You need this when your existing roof has reached the end of its life, when hail has compromised the shingle seal, or when you’re building an addition and the new roofline ties into the old one. Expect $11,000 to $22,000 for a full new roof on a typical Austin home, depending on size, pitch, and material choice.
Full Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
We don’t reroof over rotted decking, and we don’t guess at what’s underneath. Every new roof installation in Austin starts with a full inspection of the deck after the old shingles come off. If we find dry rot or failed 1×6 plank decking, you’ll see photos and a written price for replacement before we touch it. No verbal estimates on surprises.
Material Choice That Fits the Home
A new roof on a historic Hyde Park bungalow needs different materials than one on a modern build in Mueller. We carry options from GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, and Boral among seven manufacturers, so you’re not stuck with whatever happens to be on the truck. We’ll walk you through architectural shingles, metal profiles, and flat roofing systems, then give you a written price for each option. The choice is yours, and the price is on paper.
Reroofing in Austin
Reroofing in Austin means installing a second layer of shingles over an existing single layer. It’s faster and cheaper than a full tear-off, running $6,500 to $12,000 on most Austin homes, and it makes sense when the existing shingle layer is still bonded to the decking and there’s no sign of deck rot under the surface. Austin city code allows one reroof layer over one existing layer. That’s it. Two layers already? Full tear-off.
When a Reroof Works
A reroof works when your existing roof has one layer of shingles, the decking below is solid, and the shingles are just old rather than storm-damaged. In neighborhoods like Allandale where mid-century ranch homes often have original decking still in decent shape, a reroof can add 15 years without the full cost of a tear-off. We’ll inspect the deck from the attic and the top before we recommend one path over the other.
When It Doesn’t
Hail damage almost always kills the reroof option. Bruised shingles lose their bond to the layer below, and laying new shingles over them just puts a pretty face on a failing roof. Same story with flash-flood leak patterns around valleys and penetrations. If water’s been getting under the old layer, a reroof seals it in. We’ll tell you straight which way to go, and we’ll put the reasoning in writing.
Trusted Brands We Service in Austin
We install and service roofing systems from seven major manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko. That matters in Austin because different neighborhoods demand different profiles. A steep-pitch Craftsman in Travis Heights wants an architectural shingle with strong shadow lines. A low-slope modern build near the Hill Country may want a standing seam metal system. We stock common components locally for fast turnaround on Austin jobs, and we’ll order anything specialized without you waiting on a regional warehouse. Your roof gets the product that fits the home and the climate, not whatever’s been sitting in inventory.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Austin Homes
- Hail bruising that never got caught. After spring storms, shingles can lose their granule bond and begin cracking within months. Water seeps into the decking and rots the roof from underneath before you ever see a ceiling stain.
- Original 1×6 plank decking on older homes. Hyde Park and Bouldin Creek bungalows from before 1960 often have plank decking with gaps. New architectural shingles need a solid nailing surface, or Hill Country wind gusts will lift them.
- Failing flashings around penetrations and valleys. Austin’s flash-flood rains find weak flashings fast. If the roof was reroofed over an existing layer years ago, the old flashings were never upgraded, and they fail first in heavy rain.
- No ice and water shield at the eaves. What this means in Austin is that wind-driven rain gets under the shingle edge near the gutter line. Older roofs rarely have it, and we see the rot it causes every time we tear off a roof in Central Austin.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Austin
Yes. Austin requires a permit and inspection for roof replacement, and the inspection will check nailing patterns, underlayment, drip edge, and decking condition against current code. If your home sits in a historic district like Old West Austin, the permit also triggers a review of materials and style to match the original structure. We handle the permit, the scheduling, and the inspection on your behalf, and the cost is included in your written quote. Call (254) 540-7345 if your roofer says a permit isn’t needed. It is.
Hail damage means a full replacement when the bruising covers a wide area and the shingle seals have failed across multiple slopes. If a storm caught your roof from one angle, you may only need a repair. The problem is that hail bruising is often invisible from the ground, and by the time you see a leak, the decking underneath is already rotting. We inspect Austin roofs for free after hail events, especially in neighborhoods west of MoPac where storm cells tend to intensify. Call (254) 540-7345 to have us take a look before you call your insurance adjuster.
A reroof adds a second shingle layer over one existing layer and costs $6,500 to $12,000. A new roof installation is a full tear-off to the decking with new underlayment, flashings, and shingles, running $9,500 to $22,000. Austin code allows one reroof layer only. If you already have two layers, you’re getting a tear-off. We’ll inspect your roof and tell you which option applies to your home, in writing, before any work starts.
Architectural shingles have a thicker, laminated construction that holds up better under Austin’s UV exposure and impact from hail. They also carry higher wind ratings, which matters during Hill Country gusts. In our experience on Austin roofs, 3-tab shingles show granule loss and cracking years earlier when they’re exposed to the same sun and storm cycle. The 15 to 20 percent price premium for architectural is usually the smarter money. Call (254) 540-7345 and we’ll show you samples and prices side by side.
First, get it inspected before the next rain. Valleys and stair transitions are flash-flood failure points because water concentrates there, and old flashings or missing underlayment give out fast. We’ll trace the leak to its source, replace the valley flashing and underlayment, and put a written guarantee on the repair. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (254) 540-7345 to schedule an Austin roof inspection.
