Trusted Roof Repair for Austin Homeowners
Roof repair in Austin rarely waits for a convenient moment. We know this because we get the calls after the spring hail, during the August sun, and on the Tuesday a limb falls through the decking. Tilehurst Roofing Austin was built for homeowners who have already been through the wringer with contractors who didn’t show, changed the price at the door, or left a repair that failed by the next rain. Greg Holloway leads our Austin crew, and every job we take starts the same way: a live person answers the phone, we schedule a specific window, and you get a written price before any work begins. Call us at (254) 540-7345 and we’ll put that in motion today.
Key Takeaways
- Written price before any work starts. You see the number in writing before we touch your roof. It doesn’t change at the door.
- Written guarantee on every repair. Delivered before the crew leaves, not mailed a week later.
- Live person answers every call, 24/7. Evenings, weekends, holidays. No voicemail queue.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right for a full year after the job.
- Seven major manufacturers represented. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. The product fits your home, not our truck inventory.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Leak Repair
Leak Repair is the service we run most often in Austin, and the first thing you need to know is that a leak you can see inside the house has usually been working on your roof for weeks. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it ever stains a ceiling. When you call Tilehurst Roofing Austin about a leak, we trace the water back to its actual entry point, not just the wet spot. Most residential leak repairs around Austin run $300 to $850 depending on whether we’re replacing a section of flashing, re-sealing a penetration, or repairing decking that’s already started to rot from repeated exposure. We use real trade terms and we’ll explain each one before we write the estimate. The written guarantee on every leak repair means you won’t be calling us back for the same drip six months from now.
Flashing and Penetration Seals
Most leaks that reach your ceiling in Austin begin at a Flashing Repair point: the metal that transitions between your shingles and a chimney, vent pipe, or wall. Texas sun heats this metal until it expands and contracts, and after enough cycles the sealant bond fails. We inspect every penetration on the roof, not just the one above the stain, and we replace failed flashing with material rated for our heat index.
Decking and Structural Water Damage
When a leak has been running for months, the plywood under your shingles, called decking, can soften to the point that it won’t hold a nail. We identify this by walking the affected area and checking for deflection before we quote the job. If your decking is compromised, we’ll show you a photo and tell you the exact square footage we need to replace, in writing, before we cut anything out.
Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency Roof Repair means a roof that can’t wait for a scheduled appointment: a tree limb through the decking, storm damage that left the underlayment exposed, or a leak that’s pouring water into the living space. In Austin, a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we’ll talk you through whether the situation needs immediate tarping or can wait for a standard visit. Emergency response typically runs $450 to $1,200 depending on the extent of temporary protection and the repair itself. We’ll give you that number over the phone, not just show up and hand you a surprise invoice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to emergency work the same as any other job we do.
Storm and Impact Response
When hail or wind tears a section of shingles off an Austin roof, the exposed underlayment is your last line of defense against rain, and it doesn’t last long. We can tarp the affected area same-day to stop further water entry, then schedule the permanent repair after things dry out. The tarp is temporary, but the written price for the actual repair is set before we leave.
After-Hours Leak Containment
A leak at 11 p.m. doesn’t mean you wait until morning. Our phones ring through to a person, not a recording, and we can walk you through where to place a bucket and whether a tarp is warranted. If we need to come out after hours, the price is the same structure as our standard repair, and you’ll see it in writing before work begins.
Flat Roof Repair
Flat Roof Repair in Austin differs from shingle work because flat roofs don’t shed water the same way. They hold it. A low-slope roof in this climate deals with standing water after heavy rain, and any weakness in the membrane, seams, or flashing becomes a leak faster than on a pitched roof. Common flat roof systems we repair include modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM rubber, and most Flat Roof Patch repairs in the Austin area run $400 to $1,500 depending on the membrane type and the size of the failing area. We inspect the entire field, not just the visible damage, because seams on the far side of the roof are often the real culprit. The Kingswell Way applies here the same as anywhere: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.
Membrane Seams and Ponding Areas
Flat roof membranes are only as good as their seams, and seams are where Austin’s heat does the most damage. We check every seam in the affected zone for separation, then test the membrane itself for brittleness. Ponding areas, where water stands for more than 48 hours after a rain, get special attention because they accelerate membrane failure faster than anything else in our climate.
Drainage and Edge Flashing
A flat roof that doesn’t drain is a flat roof that will leak, usually sooner than the homeowner expects. We inspect the drains, scuppers, and edge flashing during every flat roof repair because a blocked drain can cause water to back up under flashing that was fine a month ago. The fix is often simple, but it is rarely obvious from ground level.
Shingle Roof Repair
Shingle Roof Repair is the most common roof repair in Austin because asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the city, and our weather is hard on them. Hail dents them, wind lifts them, and UV breaks down the granules that protect the asphalt underneath. Typical shingle repairs in Austin run $250 to $800 depending on how many shingles need replacement, whether the ridge cap is involved, and whether the underlying underlayment has been exposed long enough to need attention. We match your existing shingles by manufacturer and color as closely as possible, and we can source from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so you don’t end up with a patch that looks like a patch. The written guarantee on shingle repairs covers our workmanship for the full 365-day period.
Wind-Lifted and Missing Shingles
Austin gets strong straight-line winds, especially in the spring, and shingles that lift once rarely seal back down properly. We perform Shingle Replacement on lifted shingles and check the surrounding field for others that are about to let go. The repair isn’t just cosmetic: an unsealed shingle is a leak waiting for the next rain.
Ridge Cap and Valley Repairs
The ridge cap is the row of shingles running along the peak of your roof, and the valley is the V where two slopes meet. Both are high-stress areas in Austin because they handle the most water flow. When these fail, the damage usually extends beyond the shingle itself, into the flashing and sometimes the decking underneath. We inspect both during every shingle repair call, whether or not they’re what brought you to the phone.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Storm Damage Roof Repair in Austin begins with a full damage assessment, because the shingle you can see from the driveway is rarely the only one that’s hurt. Hail leaves circular impact marks that compromise the shingle’s protective layer. Wind removes whole tabs. Debris from trees punctures decking. Most storm repairs in the Austin market fall between $400 and $1,800, and the final number depends on how much of the roof was exposed and whether the underlayment absorbed water before we could get to it. Tilehurst Roofing Austin will document every damaged area with photos, give you a written scope and price, and do the repair the way we’d do it on our own homes. If a storm has left your roof exposed, call (254) 540-7345 and we’ll get someone out to look.
Hail Impact Assessment
Hail damage on an Austin roof can be invisible from the ground and catastrophic over time. We inspect granule loss, bruising in the shingle mat, and impact marks on flashing and vents. If we find damage that warrants an insurance claim, we’ll give you the documentation you need, in their preferred format, without charging extra for the photos.
Wind and Debris Repair
Limbs and loose debris cause the most obvious storm damage, and Austin’s oaks and pecans are generous with their limbs during a storm. We remove the debris as part of the repair scope, then assess the decking underneath. If a limb punctured the roof, the water that followed it is usually the bigger problem by the time we arrive.
Metal Roof Repair
Metal Roof Repair in Austin usually means one of three things: a fastener has backed out, a panel has been dented by hail or a branch, or a seam has separated enough to let water through. Standing seam, R-panel, and corrugated metal all behave differently, and we’ll identify which system you have before we quote anything. Most metal roof repairs around Austin run $350 to $1,100, with the higher end covering panel replacement rather than simple fastener or sealant work. One thing we will never do is cover a metal roof problem with sealant alone and call it a fix: sealant fails in Texas sun, and you’ll be calling someone else in a year. We’ll use the right mechanical fix for your roof system, and our written guarantee covers it for 365 days.
Fastener and Seam Failures
Metal roofs expand and contract every day in Austin’s temperature swings, and over time that movement loosens fasteners and stresses seams. We inspect the areas around every penetration and seam in the affected zone, not just the spot that’s leaking. Re-tightening a fastener is cheap; ignoring the ones next to it isn’t.
Panel Replacement After Impact
Hail dents on a metal roof in Austin are mostly cosmetic, but a dent deep enough to crease the panel can crack the coating and expose the steel underneath. When a panel has been punctured or creased, we replace the full panel rather than patching it, because a patch on metal never matches the surrounding profile. We’ll match the panel color and profile from the manufacturer when possible, and we’ll tell you if the panel is discontinued and what the closest match will be.
Commercial Roof Repair
Commercial Roof Repair in Austin covers the low-slope systems on warehouses, offices, strip centers, and small industrial buildings: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and the occasional metal building. The stakes are different from residential work because a commercial leak doesn’t just damage a ceiling; it interrupts business, damages inventory, and creates liability for anyone walking a wet floor. Commercial roof repairs in the Austin area typically start around $700 and can run to $3,500 or more depending on the system and the extent of the membrane failure. We inspect the entire roof, map every defect we find, and give you a written scope and price before any work begins. That written price is what you pay; there are no change orders at the door.
Building Envelope and Tenant Concerns
When a commercial roof leaks in Austin, the tenant usually knows before the owner does, and the pressure is immediate. We can schedule a same-day assessment for active leaks and provide the written documentation tenants and insurance carriers want. The repair itself follows the same Kingswell Way process as our residential work: written price, set window, written guarantee.
Preventive Repairs and Maintenance
A commercial roof in Austin that gets a small repair today avoids a big replacement in three years. We’ll flag areas that are starting to fail even if they aren’t leaking yet, and we’ll give you a prioritized list with the cost of addressing each one. You decide what to do now and what to watch; we just make sure you have the full picture in writing.

AfterBrands We Service
We work with all seven major shingle and membrane manufacturers, and that’s a deliberate choice. A truck stocked with one brand means a crew that talks you into that brand whether it fits your roof or not. Our Austin crews are trained on GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and we’ll match your existing material whenever possible. If you have a GAF roof, we can source GAF replacement shingles to match. If you have CertainTeed, the same applies. The product fits the home, not the other way around.
We also service roofing systems from Tamko and Boral, among others. Whether you have any of these makes or something else entirely, we can help. The guarantee is the same regardless of the manufacturer: written, delivered before the crew leaves, and enforceable for a full year under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or walls. A stain means water is already inside the envelope of your home, and it’s been there longer than the stain has. The leak will not fix itself, and the damage compounds with every rain.
- Shingles in the yard after a storm. Shingles don’t fall off a healthy roof. If you’re finding tabs or whole shingles in the grass, your roof lost its seal, and the exposed underlayment is now your only defense against rain.
- Daylight visible from the attic. If you can see daylight through the attic ceiling, water can follow the same path during the next storm. This is a penetration point that has already opened up, and it’s usually visible long before the leak shows up inside the house.
- Granules collecting in the gutters. The grit in your gutters is the protective layer from your shingles, and it means the asphalt underneath is exposed to UV. Once granule loss is visible, the shingles are in decline and any storm can turn decline into failure.
- Sagging areas on a flat roof. A low spot that holds water after a rain is a leak in the making. The membrane over that spot is sitting in water, and membrane, seam, and flashing will all fail sooner because of it.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a live person. When you call (254) 540-7345, a real person answers, day or night. We’ll ask what you’re seeing, what the roof is made of, and when the problem started. When you hang up, you’ll have an appointment window.
- 2
We inspect the roof at the scheduled time. Our Austin crew shows up in the window we gave you, in uniform, background-checked. We walk the entire roof, not just the area you pointed to, and we document what we find with photos. If it’s safe, we’ll show you the photos and explain each one in plain language.
- 3
You get a written price before any work begins. We write out the scope, the materials, and the total price, and we hand it to you. You sign it before we start. There is no upsell at the door, no change order after we open a wall, no surprise line item at the end.
- 4
We do the repair the way we said we would. The crew arrives, does the work, and cleans up. The price you signed is the price you pay. Before the crew leaves, you get the written guarantee for the repair, with the start date and the 365-day coverage period on it.
- 5
If it fails, we come back at no charge. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means what it says. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, call us. We’ll schedule a return visit at no charge and make it right. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s in writing.
How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Austin?
A typical shingle repair in Austin runs $250 to $800. A leak that requires flashing replacement or decking repair runs $300 to $850 in most residential situations. Flat roof repairs fall between $400 and $1,500 depending on the membrane and the size of the failing area. Storm damage often comes in higher, $400 to $1,800, because the damage usually covers more square footage. Emergency work that requires tarping and same-day response runs $450 to $1,200. Metal roof repairs sit between $350 and $1,100. Commercial repairs start around $700 and go up from there based on the building’s roof system. These are real numbers based on the Austin market, not national averages that don’t account for our hail, our heat, or our labor rates.
What moves the price is the material cost, the size of the affected area, and whether the decking or underlayment underneath has been compromised. A tenth of an inch of decking rot turns a $300 shingle patch into a $700 repair with plywood replacement, and you want to know that before we start cutting. You don’t want to overpay because a contractor bid on worst-case scenarios and pocketed the difference, and you don’t want to underpay for a patch job that fails in a month. Our free estimate includes the full scope, the material list, and the total price in writing. You’ll know what you’re paying and what you’re getting before any work starts. Call (254) 540-7345 to schedule that estimate, and we’ll give you the number in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair in Austin
Roof repair is the work of fixing a specific section of your roof rather than replacing the whole thing: a leak, a missing shingle, a failed flashing point, a puncture, a broken tile. It’s the right call when the rest of the roof is structurally sound and the damage is isolated. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or if the roof has reached the point where replacement is the smarter money.
Most residential roof repairs in Austin are completed in a single visit, usually two to four hours on the roof depending on the scope. Larger storm repairs or repairs that require decking replacement can take a full day. We’ll tell you the expected time before work starts, and we’ll stick to the window we gave you.
Most asphalt shingle repairs run $250 to $800. Leak repairs with flashing or decking work run $300 to $850. Flat roof repairs run $400 to $1,500. Storm damage repairs run $400 to $1,800.

Every roof repair we do in Austin carries a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves. The guarantee covers our workmanship for a full 365 days under the Done Right Promise. If the repair fails inside that period, we return and correct it at no charge. No phone tag, no negotiation, no “that’s not covered.” The guarantee is in writing, and we honor it.
There’s not much to do on your end. Move vehicles out of the driveway so our crew can get a ladder to the roof, and if you have pets, keep them inside during the work. We’ll handle the rest: inspection, written scope, written price, repair, cleanup, and the written guarantee before we leave. Greg Holloway and the Austin crew will walk you through everything else on the phone.
