Roof Replacement in Shady Hollow - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Shady Hollow

A full roof replacement in Shady Hollow typically runs $9,800 – $18,500 for a standard composite shingle tear-off on a 1980s or 1990s home, and most jobs wrap up in 3 – 5 working days once materials land. That price assumes we’re pulling the old roof down to the decking, replacing any rotted wood we find, and installing new underlayment, drip edge, and shingles with a written guarantee before the crew leaves. If you’re weighing a tear-off against another re-roof over failing shingles, call us first at (254) 540-7345. Greg Holloway and our Shady Hollow crews have opened enough oak-shaded roofs to tell you what’s actually underneath before you commit to a number.

Why Tilehurst Roofing Austin Is Shady Hollow’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Shady Hollow homes punish generic roofers. The lots are thick with live oak and cedar, the rooflines are steep with multiple valleys and dormers, and what looks like a simple shingle swap often turns into decking replacement and flashing rework once the old layers come off. We send crews who know those streets, from Gatling Gun Lane to the cul-de-sacs off Brodie, so the estimate we write reflects what we’ll actually find, not just what the roof looks like from the curb.

Our replacement crews carry a documented 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right inside that year, we come back and make it right at no charge. You get a written price before any work starts, and every repair or replacement leaves with a written guarantee, not a verbal “trust us.” Greg Holloway runs the Austin operation under the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and the standard is the same on every job: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the property cleaner than we found it, and put the guarantee in writing.

Roof Replacement Contractor in Shady Hollow

A Roof Replacement Contractor in Shady Hollow does one thing well: opens up an older roof, finds what’s actually failing, and replaces the entire system so the next decade doesn’t repeat the last one’s surprises. On 1980s and 1990s homes in this area, that means pulling off old architectural shingles, inspecting every sheet of decking, replacing rotted or delaminated plywood, and installing new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and ridge cap. A full tear-off in Shady Hollow typically runs $9,800 – $18,500 depending on square count, decking damage, and shingle grade. When a roof has two or three layers already, visible moss on north slopes, or granule loss down to the fiberglass mat, a re-roof over the top won’t fix what’s rotting underneath.

Decking and Structural Repairs We Uncover

Most Shady Hollow tear-offs turn up at least one sheet of rotted decking, usually in valleys where oak leaves sat and held moisture for years. We write decking replacement into the contract as an allowance so you know the per-sheet price before we start, not after. Any structural repair that a permit triggers gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it.

Permit-Required Code Upgrades

When we pull a permit for a roof replacement in Shady Hollow, the city requires current ventilation and nailing standards, which older homes don’t always meet. That can mean adding intake vents, bringing the ridge vent up to code, or re-flashing dormers to current detail. We inspect for these before we bid so the number you see covers the job the permit will actually require.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Shady Hollow

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Shady Hollow is the most common full replacement we do, and it’s the right move when an older composite roof has lost granules, curled at the edges, or started leaking at valleys and flashing points. On a typical 1,800 – 2,600 square foot Shady Hollow home, a full architectural asphalt shingle replacement runs $10,200 – $16,800 with tear-off, new underlayment, drip edge, and standard ventilation. Three-tab shingles run a bit less, and upgraded hail-resistant options from CertainTeed or Owens Corning add a premium but hold up far better under the canopy’s humidity and the hail that rolls through the Oak Hill corridor.

Architectural Shingles Worth the Upgrade Here

Architectural shingles carry a thicker mat and a higher wind rating than three-tab, and they hide the small waves that old decking picks up after thirty years of Central Texas heat. We install CertainTeed Landmark, Owens Corning Duration, and IKO Cambridge most often in Shady Hollow because they shed oak debris better than budget three-tab and hold their granules longer under shade and humidity.

Why We Tear Off Instead of Layering Over

Some roofers will offer a re-roof over one layer of old shingles to cut the price. On Shady Hollow’s steep, heavily canopied roofs, that shortcut hides rot and leaves you paying for a new roof that fails early. We tear off to the decking on nearly every replacement because we need to see the plywood under the valleys and north slopes before we warranty the roof.

Trusted Brands We Service in Shady Hollow

We install shingles from seven manufacturers, so the product matches the house rather than what’s on the truck. For Shady Hollow’s oak canopy and hail risk, we most often recommend Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark, and IKO Cambridge, with Atlas and Tamko available where the budget or aesthetic calls for them. We keep fast access to these brands through our Austin supplier network, which means lead times on a Shady Hollow tear-off stay short even during the spring hail season. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, so if you call on a Saturday after discovering a leak, you’ll talk to someone who can schedule your estimate, not a voicemail.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Shady Hollow Homes

• Moss and algae on north-facing slopes. The oak canopy blocks the sun on the north side of most Shady Hollow homes, and those slopes turn green within two seasons unless zinc strips or yearly moss treatments are part of the plan. We saw this recently on Gatling Gun Lane, where a 1990s architectural roof had stripped granules down to the fiberglass mat on the north slope while the south slope still looked serviceable.
• Hidden decking rot in valleys. Oak leaves pile into valleys, trap moisture, and rot the plywood underneath long before the shingles above show obvious leaks. By the time water reaches the ceiling, the decking replacement is usually structural, not cosmetic.
• Failed flashing at dormers and valleys. The steep, multi-valley rooflines popular in 1980s Shady Hollow construction put a lot of stress on flashing. Rusted or undersized flashing lets water behind the shingles and into the fascia and soffit, where the damage hides for years.
• Re-roofs over failed underlayment. We pull off roofs where someone laid new shingles over old paper and skipped new drip edge. Shady Hollow’s leaf load and humidity make that shortcut fail early, and the only fix is a full tear-off and proper underlayment replacement.
