Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Jollyville
Roof replacement in Jollyville typically runs $11,500 to $28,000 for a standard single-story ranch, depending on size, pitch, and how much decking needs replacing once we pull the old shingles. Most Jollyville homes we work on were built between 1970 and 1989, which means original 3-tab shingles, low-slope patio sections, and decades of moss buildup under those dense oaks. We know exactly what that means because we see it every week on Pond Springs Road, Spicewood Parkway, and the neighborhoods around Jollyville Road. You want a real number, a real schedule, and a crew that shows up. Call (254) 540-7345 and you’ll get a written price before any work starts.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Austin Is Jollyville’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We answer the phone. That sounds like a low bar, but you’ve probably already dealt with a roofer who didn’t. Tilehurst Roofing Austin is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and every Jollyville job runs on the same rules: a written price in your hands before work begins, background-checked uniformed technicians on your roof, and a written guarantee delivered before the crew leaves your driveway.
Our Roof Replacement team knows Jollyville’s housing stock at the material level. We know that a 1978 split-level off Spicewood Parkway has different flashing issues than a 1985 ranch near the Balcones Country Club. We know moss on the north slope is not cosmetic here. Greg Holloway, who leads our Austin team, has walked enough Jollyville attics to predict what the tear-off will reveal before the first shingle comes up. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we schedule, and how we protect your home during the job.
Styles & brands we work with
Flat Roof Replacement in Jollyville
Flat Roof Replacement in Jollyville is a standard part of most full replacements we do, because so many of these 1970s and 1980s ranch homes were built with flat or low-slope sections over patios, carports, and additions. Those sections fail differently than pitched roofs do. A flat roof on a Jollyville home traps water against the seams, and once the original membrane ages out, leaks show up at the wall flashing and around the scuppers. A full flat roof replacement here typically runs $4,800 to $9,500 depending on square footage and whether we’re removing one layer or two.
What We Find on Low-Slope Patio Sections
Low-slope patio roofs in Jollyville were often built without proper drip edge, and many never got ice and water shield at the transition where the flat section meets the main roof. We see this constantly. The original roofer saved a few hundred dollars on materials, and now the flashing joint is the first failure point. When we replace a patio roof, we pull the old membrane, inspect the decking underneath, and install new tapered systems where pitch is too shallow to drain.
Matching the Patio Roof to the Main Roof
You don’t want a flat roof that looks like an afterthought. On Jollyville homes, the patio cover is often visible from the backyard and from the street. We carry modified bitumen, TPO, and standing-seam metal options for flat sections, and we match the color and edge profile to the shingle roof above it. The finished look matters almost as much as the waterproofing.
Roof Installation in Jollyville
Roof Installation in Jollyville means more than nailing shingles over plywood. For a full replacement on a 1970s ranch, it means stripping to the rafters when decking is compromised, replacing rotted sheets, and rebuilding the roof system from the underlayment up. A complete tear-off and new architectural shingle install on a typical 1,600-square-foot Jollyville ranch runs $13,200 to $22,500 before any decking replacement. When we open a roof and find spongy decking under a moss line, we replace it and show you the damaged sheets in the dump trailer before they leave.
Decking Inspection Before We Quote
We walk the roof and the attic during the estimate, not just from a ladder at the gutter line. Jollyville attics tell the story: stained decking, daylight at the ridge, rusted nail heads, and the sweet-rot smell of trapped moisture. We mark suspect areas and write a per-sheet decking allowance into the contract, so you know the real number before work starts, not after.
Full System Replacement, Not Just New Shingles
A roof is a system. Drip edge, underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys, ridge venting, pipe boots, and step flashing against the chimney and walls. On Jollyville homes, old siding and brick chimneys make flashing details complicated, and skipping them is how you get a leak inside a year. We install the full system, every time, because a five-figure job should not fail at a $12 pipe collar.
Trusted Brands We Service in Jollyville
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO shingles, and we keep local stock for Jollyville’s most common profiles so a tear-off isn’t waiting on a warehouse across town. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles are a frequent choice for these ranch homes because they handle Central Texas hail better than 3-tab and carry a strong wind rating. Owens Corning Duration and GAF Timberline lines give you options at different price points without sacrificing the Class 4 impact rating many Jollyville homeowners ask for. You pick the product. We bring the written price and the installation standards The Kingswell Way demands.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Jollyville Homes
- Moss on north-facing slopes. In the Pond Springs area, that green band on the north side of your roof is not a character feature. It means moisture is trapped against the decking, and by the time you see moss, the plywood underneath is often losing structural integrity. Full decking inspection is standard on every Jollyville replacement we quote.
- Hidden hail damage on original 3-tab shingles. Hail takes the granules off, but from the ground the roof looks fine. We find this constantly on 1970s and 1980s homes along Jollyville Road. Once the granules are gone, UV degrades the asphalt beneath, and leaks start at the penetrations: skylights, pipe jacks, and patio cover transitions.
- Skylight and patio cover flashing failures. Aging flashing loses its seal, and the original builders often used thin step flashing that corrodes under Texas heat. On replacement, we pull the old flashing, inspect the framing around the opening, and install new flashing that matches the new roof system, not the old shortcuts.
- Under-ventilated attics causing premature shingle failure. Many Jollyville ranch homes have too few ridge vents or none at all. Hot air builds up, cooks the shingles from below, and the roof dies early. A proper replacement here includes calculating attic ventilation and adding intake and exhaust where the original build fell short.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Jollyville
It makes full decking inspection mandatory, not optional. Moss on the north slope is the visible symptom of chronic moisture retention, and the decking under that moss line is often rotting even if the shingles look intact from the street. Our Jollyville replacements include a decking inspection during the estimate and a per-sheet allowance in the contract, so if we find spongy plywood at tear-off, you already know the cost before we touch it. Call (254) 540-7345 for a written quote that accounts for this from day one.
Yes. Those low-slope sections cannot take standard shingles, and they fail differently than pitched roofs. We replace flat patio sections with modified bitumen, TPO, or standing-seam metal, and we rebuild the flashing transition where the flat section meets the main roof. Many original Jollyville patio roofs have no drip edge and no ice and water shield, and skipping those upgrades is the fastest way to leak again within a few years. The estimate covers both the shingle replacement and the flat section as one scope.
Because the original decking under a 1978 or 1983 roof is often worse than the shingles suggest, especially under moss lines and around old skylights. A quote that does not include a decking allowance is a quote that will change. We write the allowance into the contract up front: if we replace 14 sheets, you pay for 14 sheets at the agreed per-sheet rate. If we replace none, you don’t pay that line item. When we opened a 1978 ranch on Pond Springs Road, the north slope decking was spongy under the moss line, and we replaced 14 sheets before laying CertainTeed Landmark shingles with a continuous ridge vent. That was expected, priced, and approved in writing before the first nail.
We treat them as a full system replacement, not a shingle swap. Hail strips granules and breaches the underlayment over time, while moss traps moisture against the decking. Together they rot the roof from both directions. Our approach strips the roof to the decking, replaces damaged sheets, installs new synthetic underlayment, adds ice and water shield in valleys and at transitions, and only then lays the new shingle system. The moss, the hail damage, and the ventilation deficiency are addressed in one pass, not patched.
Expect updated underlayment requirements, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys if your roof meets the pitch threshold, and proper attic ventilation calculations. Replacement also triggers current drip edge requirements, which many original Jollyville roofs lack entirely. We pull permits on every full replacement in Jollyville, schedule the inspections, and document what passed. Your written quote includes the permit line item, so there is no surprise fee at the end.
