Here’s the Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Lakeway TX, and How Holden Roofing Changes It
More than 3,000 roofers name Austin as a service area, and after the May 28, 2025 warning put Lakeway on the list, plenty of them drove out RM 620 to find it. Very few had ever set a concrete tile or crimped a standing seam panel.
Lakeway started as a 1963 lake resort, became a city in 1974, and roofs its 19,000 residents with more metal and tile than shingle. A shingle crew working a tile roof breaks more than it fixes, and a low bid on that roof is usually low because something got left out.
So how does a homeowner on the lake sort the specialists from the sign wavers?
With three questions. Below are the three ways Lakeway roof jobs go wrong, the question that flushes out each one, and the way Holden Roofing answers it. After that, seven questions Lakeway homeowners put to us before they hire anybody, with straight answers.
Problem One: The Roofer Who Calls Your Tile Roof Clean Without Lifting a Single Tile
Hail cracks concrete tile along its bottom edge, right where the course above hides it, so a roofer standing at the ridge sees nothing wrong. That is how a tile roof in The Hills of Lakeway gets a clean bill of health it never earned.
Water finds the crack, then the underlayment, then the guest room ceiling. By the time the stain shows, the claim window may be shut.
“Will You Lift My Tile and Show Me What’s Under It?”
A weak answer is “we walked it and it looks good.” No lifted courses, no underside photos, no word about the underlayment means the roofer looked at the part of the roof that rarely fails.
How Holden Roofing Answers It
Yes, course by course, and you see every photo before we pack the ladder. On tile in The Hills, Flintrock Falls and Lakeway Highlands, Holden Roofing inspectors raise suspect tiles by hand and shoot the crack, the back of the tile and the underlayment beneath it.
That file goes to the adjuster exactly as shot. A company that has replaced more than 100,000 Texas roofs since 1961 knows what an adjuster can wave off, and a photographed crack under a lifted tile is not on that list.
“Colin was absolutely fantastic to work with. He did a far more thorough inspection than the first roofer that came out, complete with detailed photos and clear explanations. He handled the entire insurance process for me, communicating directly with the company so I didn’t have to be the middle-man. When the claim was initially denied, Colin connected me with an appraiser and guided me through that process until the insurance company finally approved the work.”

Problem Two: The Standing Seam Claim Written Off as “Cosmetic”
Most Lakeway policies exclude cosmetic dents on metal, so a hail-dented standing seam roof in Rough Hollow is covered only when someone proves the finish fractured or a seam opened. Photos of dents taken from the yard prove neither.
The carrier says cosmetic, the roofer shrugs, and you fund a new metal roof alone.
“How Will You Prove These Dents Broke the Finish?”
Listen for gauge, dent counts per square, close-ups of cracked coating and seam checks. If the plan is “we’ll send the adjuster some pictures,” the roofer is hoping, not documenting.
How Holden Roofing Answers It
We put the proof in writing before the adjuster sets foot on the roof. Holden Roofing records panel gauge, dents per square, every spot of fractured Kynar and every lifted seam, then stands on the panels with the adjuster and walks the file.
If the finish held and the dents are truly cosmetic, Holden Roofing tells you so plainly, and you skip a claim that would only sit on your record.
Problem Three: The Out-of-County Truck That Is Gone Before You Need the Warranty
Two days after the May 28, 2025 warning named Lakeway, Bee Cave and West Lake Hills, trucks with magnetic signs were canvassing Rough Hollow and Serene Hills. Several were already gone by Labor Day.
A warranty is a promise from a company. If you cannot find the company, you do not have a warranty.
“Where Is Your Office, and Will Owens Corning Vouch for You?”
A bad answer is a cell number, a P.O. box, or a vague “we’re based out of Dallas.” A roofer that a manufacturer will not list by name is a roofer whose workmanship nobody else stands behind.
How Holden Roofing Answers It
Drive to 111 W Anderson Ln in Austin, then look us up on Owens Corning’s Platinum Preferred directory. The Austin office opened in 1997, the Holden family has roofed Texas since 1961, and the Austin reviews run back to 2018.
Fewer than 7 percent of Owens Corning Preferred Contractors reach Platinum. That tier is what lets Holden Roofing offer Platinum Protection, which covers our workmanship along with the shingle.
“Timothy Carr with Holden Roofing provided outstanding service and support throughout the roof replacement process. Although our claim (after a hail storm when many neighbors had their roofs replaced) was initially denied, Timothy was thorough, persistent, and patient which led to our insurance company’s approval.”

Seven Questions Lakeway Homeowners Put to Holden Roofing Before They Hire Anyone
These come straight from calls with homeowners along Lake Travis, worded the way they asked them, with the answers Holden Roofing gives. If the next roofer on your list gets vague on any of them, that tells you plenty.
01“Do Your Own People Install Standing Seam, or Do You Farm It Out?”
Our own people. Holden Roofing runs in-house metal and tile crews out of the Austin office, part of roughly 400 installers statewide. A 6,000-square-foot roof on the Rough Hollow peninsula is no job for a sub with a borrowed seamer.
02“Our Tile Roof Is Over 20 Years Old. Is the Tile Worn Out, or Just What’s Under It?”
Usually just what’s under it. Clay and concrete tile can last 50 years or more, while the underlayment gives out around year 20 to 25. A re-lay puts your original tile back on new underlayment, so most of what you paid for stays up there.
03“We Want to Go From Shingle to Tile. Can the House Even Carry It?”
Maybe, and we check before we quote. Concrete tile weighs 900 to 1,200 pounds per square, which is far more than shingle. Holden Roofing looks at the framing first, so a tile upgrade never starts with a structural surprise.
04“Our House Faces the Lake. Will Shingles Stay Down in That Wind?”
Yes, when they are the right shingle nailed the right way. Lake-facing slopes in Arbolago and Edgewater take 60 to 80 mph gusts. Owens Corning Duration carries a 130 mph wind warranty, and Holden Roofing checks every seal strip on those slopes.
05“Our Place Off Lohmans Crossing Dates Back to the Resort Days. What If the Decking Is Bad?”
Then you know before the job starts, not halfway through it. Some resort-era Lakeway homes still sit on plank decking that has been wet before. Holden Roofing checks the deck first and writes a per-sheet allowance into the estimate. No surprise change order.
06“On a 2 Percent Deductible, Can You Help Me Out on That Part?”
No, and a roofer who says yes is risking your claim. Texas HB 2102 makes waiving or absorbing a deductible a Class B misdemeanor, with up to a $2,000 fine. Holden Roofing gives you the exact out-of-pocket figure up front instead.
07“What If You Find Nothing Worth a Claim?”
Then you hear exactly that, with photos to back it up. Holden Roofing makes the threshold call before you file, so a claim that would not pay never lands on your record. The inspection and report cost nothing, and nobody asks you to sign a thing.
Put these seven to every roofer who knocks in Lakeway, then put them to Holden Roofing at (512) 750-0523 and compare the answers.
What You Actually Need From a Lakeway Roofing Contractor, and Why Holden Roofing Is Built Around It
A Lakeway roof is a $25,000 to $58,000+ decision when it is tile and an $18,000 to $43,000+ decision when it is standing seam, and the contractor needs to be around for the whole life of it. Here is what matters, and how Holden Roofing answers each one.
A Manufacturer That Puts Its Own Name Behind the Crew
Owens Corning extends its Platinum Preferred tier by invitation to fewer than 7 percent of its Preferred Contractors, and Holden Roofing holds it statewide. The manufacturer reviews install quality, customer satisfaction and business practices before extending the credential.
For the Lohmans Crossing and Cardinal Hills shingle roofs in Lakeway, that credential is what unlocks the Platinum Protection warranty.
What the Platinum Warranty Means on a Lakeway Shingle Roof
Materials
Both Duration and Duration FLEX from Owens Corning come with a limited lifetime material warranty that lasts as long as you own your Lakeway home, plus 130 mph wind coverage. On a ridge above Lake Travis, that wind number is not a formality.
Workmanship
The Platinum Protection warranty also covers the installation. If a Holden Roofing crew set a nail wrong, Owens Corning stands behind the repair. A roofer outside the Platinum tier cannot offer that no matter what the contract says.
Sixty-Five Years and 100,000 Roofs, Including the Hard Ones
The Holden family started roofing Texas homes in 1961 and has replaced more than 100,000 roofs since, across seven offices in Austin, Houston, Spring, San Antonio, San Marcos, Temple and Dallas. Roughly 400 installers work for Holden Roofing statewide.
A 6,000-square-foot standing seam roof on the Rough Hollow peninsula is not the job to hand to a crew that learned metal last spring.
Project Managers Lakeway Homeowners Thank by Name
Read the 382 Austin reviews and the same project managers keep showing up: Tim Carr, Colin Crenshaw, John Winn, Chris Pickard, Brandon, Mason, Timothy. One person owns your job from the inspection to the depreciation check, and that person’s name is on the review when it is over.
A Free Inspection Where “Your Roof Is Fine” Is an Acceptable Answer
Holden Roofing inspects Lakeway roofs for free, hands over the photo report, and asks for no signature to get it. No contingency agreement on the porch, no “we inspect once you commit.” If the tile is sound and the underlayment has years left, that is what you hear.
The Honest Weakness: Holden Roofing Will Not Be the Lowest Number
A Holden Roofing bid on a Lakeway metal or tile roof will usually land above the lowest bid on the table, and it should. A tile re-lay with new high-temperature underlayment and rebuilt wall flashing costs more than a job that slides new tile over the old felt.
Several homeowners say they shopped the bid around. They also say what the extra money bought them.
“I had an excellent experience with Holding Roofing Company. From start to finish, the process was clear, honest, and professional. Their sales representative, Tim Carr, was outstanding, very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in explaining every detail of the project. He answered all our questions, helped us understand our options, and never pressured us into a decision.”
“He provided a lot of education on what was needed, how to work with insurance and even met with our insurance adjuster. With everything I learned, I was able to shop around and what I learned was that Holden provided competitive pricing and excellent service. What sealed the deal for me was the customer service. Michael never missed a call from me, and there were many!”
How to Reach Holden Roofing From Lakeway, and What Happens Next
Holden Roofing’s Austin office sits about 25 miles east of Lakeway City Hall, roughly 40 minutes on RM 620 and Loop 360, and the project manager who answers your call is the one who climbs your roof. No out-of-state call center, no appointment setter reading a card.
The First Visit
Within a few days a Holden Roofing project manager walks every slope, lifts tile where it looks suspect, checks the attic, and leaves with photos of all of it on a tablet you have already seen. You get a plain recommendation: repair, re-lay, replace, or leave it alone.
If a storm claim is on the table, you also hear whether the damage is likely to clear your carrier’s threshold before you file anything.
Where to Find Holden Roofing in Austin
Holden Roofing AustinRoofing Services in Lakeway: Retail Roofing and Storm Roofing From One Team
Holden Roofing does the roof you pay for yourself and the roof your carrier pays for, in Lakeway, with the same metal, tile and shingle crews on both. A lot of Lake Travis roofers are set up for only one of those.
Holden Roofing is set up for both because the escarpment does not care which kind of customer you are.
Retail Roofing in Lakeway
Free Roof Inspection
A Holden Roofing inspection in Lakeway covers the roof surface, lifted tile courses, metal seams and finish, every flashing and penetration, the attic side of the deck, and ground-level collateral like gutters, screens and dock covers. You keep the photos.

Book one before you buy or sell in Rough Hollow or Flintrock, before a tile underlayment hits year 20, and after any storm that drops hail bigger than a quarter within a few miles of your address.
Roof Replacement
A Holden Roofing replacement in Lakeway means tear-off to the deck, deck inspection, synthetic or high-temperature underlayment, ice and water shield at valleys and penetrations, new flashing, ridge ventilation, and the finished metal, tile or shingle system.
Click for moreClick to close
Shingle roofs under about 3,000 square feet are dried in the same day. Standing seam and tile run two to five days depending on size and pitch.
What a Tile Re-Lay Looks Like in The Hills
Crews stack sound tile on the roof, strip the failed underlayment, replace rotten decking by the sheet, lay new high-temperature underlayment, rebuild wall and chimney flashing, and set the original tile back with cracked pieces swapped. It looks the same from the street and performs like new.
Roof Repair
Repair is the right answer when the problem is contained: a handful of cracked tiles after a branch comes down, a lifted panel seam on the lake side, a failed pipe boot, a chimney cricket that never drained. Holden Roofing quotes the repair on its own, never as a down payment on a replacement.
Emergency Roof Repair and Tarping
When a live oak limb opens a roof in Lohmans Crossing at night, Holden Roofing tarps and stabilizes it before the next line of storms. The damage is photographed before the tarp goes on, and the tarp invoice is written up as the mitigation expense most Texas policies expect you to incur.
“Had a tree branch fall on my roof and cause an internal leak – I’m so glad I ended up with Holden and to have worked with Cam who was always there for me and a pro with handling insurance/managing the project!!”
Storm Roofing in Lakeway
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Hail hurts the three Lakeway roof types three different ways: it bruises and strips shingle, it cracks tile along the lower edge, and it dents and fractures the finish on metal. Holden Roofing inspectors look for all three and document each the way the carrier’s own adjuster is trained to read it.
Wind Damage Roof Repair
Wind comes across Lake Travis with nothing to slow it down, and the lake-facing slopes in Rough Hollow, Arbolago and Edgewater take 60 to 80 mph gusts head on. A seam that lifted once will lift again, and a shingle with a broken seal strip is a shingle that is gone next spring.
Holden Roofing checks seal strips and clip fastening on every slope and dates the claim to the gust.
Hurricane and Severe Storm Damage
Gulf remnants and Hill Country supercells do the same work in Lakeway that a hurricane does on the coast, and Holden Roofing’s Houston and San Antonio offices run hurricane claims every season. The Austin office runs Lakeway storm claims on the same checklist.
What the Adjuster Looks For
Hit counts inside the test square
The adjuster chalks a 10 by 10 foot square on each slope and counts hits. Most carriers want 8 or more to approve a slope. On tile, the count is cracked pieces, and Holden Roofing lifts courses so the hidden ones get counted.
Soft metals and finish fractures
Dented turbine vents, gutters, AC fins and chimney caps prove hail size and direction. On a standing seam roof, fractured Kynar coating is what separates a functional claim from a cosmetic denial.
Collateral around the house
Window screens, patio covers, dock roofs, fence stain and outdoor kitchens. If the hail is documented on the roof, the carrier pays to repair the rest too.
Storm, Hail and Wind Damage in Lakeway: What Hit, When, and What It Did to Your Roof
Lakeway sits on the upwind side of the Balcones Escarpment, where the 500-foot limestone rise feeds the supercells that build over the Hill Country and intensify over Bee Cave, Westlake and the lake before weakening east of I-35.
Hail claim rates in western Travis County, Lakeway included, run 40 to 60 percent above the county’s east side.
Texas has led the nation in major hail events for eleven years running, with 902 of them in 2025. Travis County logs three to five damaging hail events in a typical year, and Lakeway’s peak window runs through the first three weeks of April with a second stretch late May into June.
The Lake Travis Storms Holden Roofing Still Gets Calls About
2021
- April 28 to May 1, 2021.
The same week produced 2 to 3 inch hail across Central Texas and the 6.4-inch Hondo stone that still holds the Texas record. Roofs in the older Lakeway subdivisions that were never inspected after that week are now five years into hidden damage.
- May 11, 2021.
National Weather Service spotters logged 1-inch hail in Lago Vista, 4.6 miles across the lake from Lakeway, in the same cell that crossed the north shore.
2024
- April 1, 2024.
1.5-inch hail in Bee Cave, 2.6 miles from Lakeway city limits, and in Hudson Bend the same evening. That stone size cracks concrete tile and dents 26-gauge metal.
- April 9, 2024.
1.75 to 2.5 inch hail from Westlake Hills to Far West and MoPac, the biggest stones west Austin had seen in years, on the same escarpment track that runs through Lakeway.
2025
- March 23, 2025.
Quarter-size hail in Bee Cave, 3.2 miles away, the opening shot of the spring season.
- May 28, 2025.
The National Weather Service severe thunderstorm warning named Lakeway, Bee Cave, West Lake Hills and Barton Creek as direct impact locations, with baseball hail and 60 mph gusts in the warning text. This is the storm most Lakeway claims from the past year trace back to.
2026 So Far
- April 18, 2026.
Quarter-size stones fell in Brushy Creek and Round Rock, well north of Lake Travis.
- April 30, 2026.
Sunset Valley, on the south side of Austin, logged quarter-size hail.
- June 2, 2026.
1-inch hail in Buda.
None of those 2026 spotter reports came from inside Lakeway, and that is a reason to inspect, not to relax. Roofs that took the May 2025 storm and were never checked are still carrying it.
“We met Tanner with Holden Roofing after a huge hail storm. We had major damage. We interviewed different companies but something about him made told my gut we could trust him with the entire job. My gut was right. He showed up and met with our adjuster, took every text, phone call, made sure every contractor came on time and did their job, helped us through entire lengthy project.”
What Those Storms Did to Lakeway’s Roofs, Subdivision by Subdivision
1960s to 1980s Resort-Era Homes Off Lakeway Boulevard and Lohmans Crossing
Low-pitched shingle roofs on the original resort lots, many on their third or fourth roof, some with plank decking that has been wet before. Wind gets under the eaves on the lake side first. Holden Roofing inspects that decking first and puts a per-sheet allowance in writing.
1990s to 2000s Shingle and Tile in Cardinal Hills, Lakeway Highlands and Lohmans Crossing Estates
Steeper pitches, more hips, more penetrations, and a mix of architectural shingle and the first wave of concrete tile. The shingle roofs here are builder grade and were never built for escarpment hail. The tile roofs are now 20 to 30 years old, which is the age the underlayment under them gives out.
2005 to 2026 Standing Seam and Tile in Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, Serene Hills and The Hills
Standing seam and clay or concrete tile on 3,500 to 8,000 square foot customs with complicated rooflines, lake exposure and HOA color rules. The metal survives the hail and loses the finish. The tile survives the hail and loses the underlayment. Both need a roofer who documents the part that failed.
How Holden Roofing Handles Your Lakeway Insurance Claim
Holden Roofing inspects, documents, meets the adjuster, supplements what the carrier missed, builds to the approved scope and recovers your depreciation, on a tile roof, a metal roof or a shingle roof. You own the policy and the claim.
Holden Roofing’s job is to make sure the carrier sees the cracked tile under the course above and the fractured finish under the dent.
The Five Steps of a Lakeway Hail Claim With Holden Roofing
Step 1. Inspection and Photo Report
A project manager walks the roof, lifts tile where it matters, photographs panel finish up close, checks the attic and the collateral, and builds the file.
Step 2. The Honest Threshold Call
You hear plainly whether the damage clears your carrier’s threshold and, on metal, whether it clears the cosmetic exclusion. When a Lakeway roof falls short of that, Holden Roofing advises you to skip the claim.
Step 3. The Adjuster Meeting on the Roof
Your Holden Roofing rep is on the roof with the adjuster, lifting the same courses and pointing at the same fractures, so the scope reflects what is there.
Step 4. Supplements for What the Scope Left Out
Underlayment on a tile re-lay, tile breakage during handling, decking, drip edge, code ventilation. If the carrier left it out, Holden Roofing sends the documentation to put it back.
Step 5. Build, Invoice and Depreciation Release
Holden Roofing builds to the approved scope, sends the final invoice to the carrier, and files the completion paperwork that releases the recoverable depreciation your policy held back.
When the Claim Is Denied
Denials in Lakeway land hardest on metal and tile, where an adjuster calls the damage cosmetic or pre-existing, and a denial is where Holden Roofing’s most detailed reviews start. Most Texas policies include an appraisal clause.
Holden Roofing reps have walked Lakeway homeowners through re-inspection, appraisal and, where it fits, a licensed public adjuster. Some of those claims took more than a year. They still got paid.
“Materials and labor were high quality and exactly as promised. Clean up comprehensive. The final product was magnificent. However, the valuable part of my experience with Holden Roofing was Tim Carr’s counsel as I navigated through the claim process with my insurance carrier. I took well over a year for the claim to be approved. We ended up using public adjusters with a successful outcome.”
The Texas Deductible Law Every Lakeway Homeowner Should Know
Texas House Bill 2102 made it a Class B misdemeanor in 2019 for a contractor to waive, rebate, credit or absorb an insurance deductible: up to a $2,000 fine and six months in jail.
On a Lakeway policy with a 1 or 2 percent deductible against a high dwelling value, that is a large number, and a roofer who offers to make it disappear is offering to commit fraud with your name on the claim. Carriers can demand proof you paid it before releasing depreciation.
Holden Roofing will tell you the exact out-of-pocket figure before the first tile comes off, and will never offer to make it go away.
| Typical Lakeway hail claim line item | Usually covered by insurance | Homeowner responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Tear-off and disposal of damaged shingle, tile or panels | Yes | Deductible only |
| New underlayment on a tile re-lay | Yes, at approved scope, often by supplement | Upgrades beyond like-for-like |
| Cracked or broken tile, including handling breakage | Yes, with documentation | Varies by carrier |
| Standing seam panels with fractured finish or opened seams | Yes, when functional damage is documented | Cosmetic-only dents under a cosmetic exclusion |
| Decking replacement where rotted or hail-fractured | Often, with photos | Varies by policy |
| Gutters, screens, AC fins, dock covers, patio roofs | Yes, if hail damaged | Deductible only |
| Upgrade from Class 3 to Class 4 shingle | Sometimes, with an IR endorsement | Difference in cost |
| Recoverable depreciation | Released after final invoice | None if completed on time |
Shingle, Metal, Tile and Flat Roofing for Lakeway Homes
Holden Roofing installs standing seam metal, clay and concrete tile, Owens Corning Duration and Duration FLEX shingle, and TPO and modified bitumen low-slope systems across Lakeway, with the weight of its Lake Travis work on metal, tile and Class 4.
Because Holden Roofing runs residential and commercial divisions, one standard covers the standing seam main roof, the tile porch and the flat section over the outdoor kitchen on the same Rough Hollow house.
| Roofing system | Expected life in Lakeway | Hail performance | Typical installed cost (2,000 to 2,500 sq ft home) | Best fit in Lakeway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standing seam metal (24 gauge, Kynar 500) | 40 to 70 years | Excellent, dents without leaking, finish must be documented | $18,000 to $43,000+ | Rough Hollow, Serene Hills, Flintrock Falls, waterfront lots |
| Clay or concrete tile | 50+ years, underlayment 20 to 25 | Good, individual tiles crack and get swapped | $25,000 to $58,000+ | The Hills of Lakeway, Lakeway Highlands, Spanish and Mediterranean customs |
| Owens Corning Duration FLEX (Class 4) | 25 to 30 years | UL 2218 Class 4, polymer-modified, 130 mph | $11,000 to $30,000+ | Cardinal Hills, Lohmans Crossing Estates, North Lakeway Village, every re-roof west of 620 |
| Owens Corning Duration architectural shingle | 20 to 30 years | Class 3 impact, 130 mph wind warranty | $9,000 to $26,000+ | Rentals, homes selling inside five years |
| R-panel and stone-coated steel | 30 to 50 years | Very good | $14,000 to $36,000+ | Boat barns, workshops, ranchettes toward Spicewood |
| TPO, modified bitumen (low slope) | 15 to 30 years | Good with proper insulation board | $8 to $16 per sq ft | Flat sections on modern customs, outdoor kitchens, commercial on 620 |
Asphalt Shingle Roofing With Owens Corning
Duration
Owens Corning Duration is the shingle on most of the Cardinal Hills and Lohmans Crossing roofs Holden Roofing has replaced, and the reason is the SureNail strip.
The SureNail Strip
A woven reinforcement fabric in the nail zone that earns the shingle its 130 mph wind warranty and keeps the nail seated through the thermal cycling of 29 days a year above 100 degrees. On a slope facing Lake Travis, that wind rating gets tested.
Duration FLEX
Duration FLEX uses SBS polymer-modified asphalt that flexes under a hailstone instead of fracturing, which earns it the top UL 2218 Class 4 rating. On a Lakeway shingle roof, FLEX is what Holden Roofing recommends on every re-roof.
The Class 4 Test
The UL test drops a 2-inch steel ball from 20 feet onto the same point two times, and the shingle cannot crack. On a Lakeway policy, Texas Insurance Code Section 2253 obliges carriers to offer a Class 4 discount, commonly 20 to 30 percent of the Austin-area wind and hail premium.
On a Lakeway premium, that discount often covers the FLEX upcharge inside the first five years.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing in Lakeway
Standing seam is the roof Rough Hollow, Serene Hills and the newer Flintrock Falls homes were drawn around, and Holden Roofing installs it with concealed clips, 24-gauge panels and a Kynar 500 finish. It reflects a large share of the summer solar load and sheds hail without leaking.
The thing to know is the cosmetic exclusion. A metal roof claim lives or dies on whether the finish fractured, and Holden Roofing photographs every panel for exactly that.
Tile Roofing in Lakeway
The Hills of Lakeway, Lakeway Highlands and the golf course lots in Flintrock Falls carry clay and concrete tile, and the tile is almost never the problem at year 25. The underlayment is.
Concrete tile weighs 900 to 1,200 pounds per square, which is why Holden Roofing checks framing before any shingle-to-tile conversion.
Holden Roofing lifts and stacks sound tile, replaces the underlayment and flashing, swaps cracked pieces, and resets the original tile. Most of what you paid for stays on the house.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing in Lakeway
Modern Lakeway customs run flat sections over garages, outdoor kitchens and lake-facing terraces, and the retail buildings along RM 620 run on TPO and modified bitumen. Holden Roofing’s commercial division installs both, plus tapered insulation and coatings.
A sound but weathered flat section can often be coated for another five to ten years at a fraction of a tear-off.
“Tim is an absolute legend when it comes to making this the easiest process you could ask for. From dealing with the insurance company to ensuring that the work is done at a very high level, consistently checking on the work throughout the process and even coming back multiple times to verify that each panel was done correctly.”
What a New Roof Costs in Lakeway in 2026
A new roof in Lakeway runs $9,000 to $26,000+ for architectural shingle, $11,000 to $30,000+ for Class 4 FLEX, $18,000 to $43,000+ for standing seam metal and $25,000 to $58,000+ for tile on a 2,000 to 2,500 square foot home. Lakeway homes run larger, and the table below scales to them.
A Lakeway repair begins near $1,200 and climbs to $8,500+, driven by how much roof is affected and whether the decking must be opened up.
| Lakeway home profile | Roof size | Asphalt shingles (Owens Corning Duration or FLEX) | Standing seam metal | Tile roofing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,200 sq ft single story, Lohmans Crossing Estates or Cardinal Hills | 26 to 30 squares | $11,000 to $24,000+ | $25,000 to $43,000+ | $32,000 to $55,000+ |
| 3,400 sq ft two story, Lakeway Highlands or Serene Hills | 38 to 46 squares, steep | $18,000 to $35,000+ | $39,000 to $66,000+ | $49,000 to $83,000+ |
| 5,000 sq ft custom, Rough Hollow or Flintrock Falls | 55 to 65 squares, complex | $26,000 to $50,000+ | $56,000 to $95,000+ | $70,000 to $118,000+ |
| Roof repair: cracked tile, lifted seam, flashing, pipe boots | Under 1 to 3 squares | $1,200 to $8,500+ | $1,500 to $8,500+ | $1,800 to $8,500+ |
What Drives the Range
Every Holden Roofing estimate itemizes tear-off, decking allowance per sheet, underlayment, ice and water, flashing, drip edge, field material, hip and ridge, ventilation and permit. Steep lake lots, oak cover and tile breakage add labor.
If a competing Lakeway bid is $8,000 lighter, ask which line is missing.
Financing
Financing is available through Holden Roofing’s financing partners for homeowners paying out of pocket, covering a large percentage deductible, or upgrading from shingle to metal or tile beyond what a claim pays.

“All materials arrived in time before starting work, and the crew came the day after. They worked very nicely like an orchestra and they even dedicated one guy just to pick up the nails and all the trash around house , it was very nice experience , we got few storms after that that assured us no leaks from any kind of, that’s why I rated Holden 5 stars .”
Lakeway Homeowners on Holden Roofing: 382 Reviews, 4.6 Stars
Three things repeat across the 382 Austin reviews: a project manager who stays on the claim until it is paid, a crew that treats a metal or tile roof like the specialty job it is, and a property left cleaner than they found it.
“A Metal Roof Done by People Who Do Metal”
“Excellent experience with a metal roof install! The crew did an excellent job of daily debris cleanup. Their internal quality inspection process was thorough and all minor issues were quickly remediated. I appreciated having the same agent available consistently to walk me through insurance, financing, and timeline details, making the entire project seamless.”
“He Had the Crew Back the Same Day to Fix It”
“Quality control was top-notch. John personally inspected everything, and when he noticed a small mistake on the roof, he had the crew back immediately to fix it. That attention to detail was impressive… Thanks to John and the entire team at Holden Roofing, the whole experience was hassle-free and exceeded my expectations.”
“Three Hailstorms, Three Roofs, Same Company”
“Holden Roofing is honest ,fair , and does exceptional work ! We have contracted with holden on three occasions do to hail damage and each time they have exceeded our expectations .”

Permits in Lakeway
The City of Lakeway lists re-roofing as a permitted alteration when there is a change in material or a structural change, so a like-for-like shingle or tile replacement does not need a permit, but a shingle-to-metal or shingle-to-tile conversion does, and so does decking replacement.
Holden Roofing pulls it through the city’s Civic Self Service portal and supplies whatever the subdivision’s architectural review committee asks for alongside it.
Storm Chasers Knock in Lakeway Too. Here’s How to Tell Holden Roofing From the Rest
Holden Roofing project managers do knock doors in Lakeway after a hailstorm, and that gets said here on purpose rather than discovered in a one-star review. Most Lake Travis homeowners have no idea their tile or metal roof took damage until someone lifts a course or looks at the finish up close.
What separates Holden Roofing from the out-of-county trucks is everything that happens after the knock.
- An Austin address you can drive to. 111 W Anderson Ln, Suite E360A, open since 1997. Ask the other company where their office is.
- A credential a manufacturer will confirm. You can look up Holden Roofing yourself in Owens Corning’s own Platinum Preferred directory before anyone climbs a Lakeway roof.
- Crews that do metal and tile in house. If the answer to “who installs your standing seam” is “a sub we use,” keep asking.
- Reviews older than this storm. Holden Roofing’s Austin reviews go back to 2018.
- No deductible games. Waiving it is a Class B misdemeanor under HB 2102, and it tells you how the rest of the job will go.
- A written scope before any contract. A contingency agreement signed on the porch before the roof has been walked is the red flag.
“Great experience working with Tim. Our whole block has Holden Roofing signs from the hail storm a couple of months ago, and after working with them it’s pretty clear why. The whole process was handled for us from the insurance claim to the inspection and repairs. Tim was always available by text or call and before we knew it the roof was done.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Roofer in Lakeway TX
Call (512) 750-0523
How much does a roofer in Lakeway TX charge for a new roof?
In 2026, $9,000 to $26,000+ for architectural shingle, $11,000 to $30,000+ for Class 4 Duration FLEX, $18,000 to $43,000+ for standing seam metal and $25,000 to $58,000+ for tile on a 2,000 to 2,500 square foot home.
Larger Rough Hollow and Flintrock homes scale up from there. Repairs run $1,200 to $8,500+.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Lakeway?
Only when the material changes or the structure does. The City of Lakeway treats a like-for-like re-roof as exempt, and requires a permit for shingle-to-metal or shingle-to-tile conversions and for decking replacement. Holden Roofing pulls it through the Civic Self Service portal.
Will my Lakeway HOA approve standing seam metal or a Class 4 shingle?
Nearly always, with the right packet. Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, The Hills and Lakeway Highlands all run architectural review committees, and standing seam already covers most of the newer sections.
Holden Roofing supplies color chips, panel profile sheets, tile samples and the manufacturer literature the committee asks for.
Does my policy cover hail dents on a metal roof in Lakeway?
It depends on whether the finish fractured, because most Lakeway policies carry a cosmetic exclusion for metal. A dent with intact coating is usually excluded. A dent with broken Kynar or an opened seam is functional damage and is covered.
Holden Roofing photographs every panel to make that distinction before the adjuster arrives.
Can Holden Roofing replace a few cracked tiles without redoing the whole roof?
Yes, as long as the underlayment under them is still sound. Holden Roofing lifts the surrounding courses, checks the underlayment, and swaps the broken pieces if it is intact. If the underlayment has failed, the honest recommendation is a re-lay, which keeps your original tile.
When did Lakeway last take a major hailstorm?
May 28, 2025, when the National Weather Service warning named Lakeway, Bee Cave and West Lake Hills as direct impact locations with baseball hail and 60 mph gusts. Before that, April 1, 2024 put 1.5-inch hail in Bee Cave, 2.6 miles away.
Roofs never inspected after those dates may still carry unclaimed damage.
How far is Holden Roofing from Lakeway, and how fast can someone get here?
About 25 miles and roughly 40 minutes from the Anderson Lane office to Lakeway City Hall by Loop 360 and RM 620. Inspections are scheduled within days. Emergency tarping goes out on the first dry window after a storm, and the tarp is documented as a mitigation expense for your claim.
Is a Class 4 shingle worth it on a Lakeway home?
Yes, on every shingle re-roof west of RM 620. Texas Insurance Code Section 2253 requires carriers to offer a discount on UL 2218 Class 4 roofs, typically 20 to 30 percent on the wind and hail portion of an Austin-area premium.
Owens Corning Duration FLEX is Holden Roofing’s Class 4 shingle, and the certification letter goes to your agent.
