Here’s the Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Westlake Hills TX, and How Holden Roofing Changes It
More than 3,000 roofers list Austin as a service area, and after the April 9, 2024 hail crossed Rob Roy, Davenport Ranch and Lost Creek, plenty of them found their way up Bee Cave Road. Very few had ever set a concrete tile or seamed a metal panel.
They mail postcards into 78746, park a shingle crew in your motor court, and price a custom home the way they price a starter house east of MoPac. Barrel tile on Wildcat Hollow is a different trade, and they are hoping you never ask about it.
So how do you tell a real tile and metal roofer from a crew that is guessing?
Make them answer out loud. Below are the three problems that cost Westlake Hills homeowners the most, the one question that exposes each problem on the spot, and how Holden Roofing answers it. After that come seven questions worth asking on the very first call.
Problem One: The Roofer Who Walks a Tile Roof Like It Is Shingle
On a concrete tile roof in Rob Roy or Seven Oaks, the tile is usually still sound at year 30, while the underlayment under it has often been failing since year 22. A tear-off salesman quotes you an all-new tile roof. A shingle-only crew talks you out of tile entirely.
Either way you pay for the wrong thing, and boots that do not know where to land crack tile that was perfectly fine. Your architect’s roofline ends up the casualty.
“Can You Lift My Tile, Fix What’s Underneath and Put My Own Tile Back?”
A bad answer sounds like “that tile is old, just tear it all off,” or a blank stare at the words lift-and-relay. If they cannot show you a tile relay they finished this year, they plan to learn on yours.
How Holden Roofing Answers It
Yes, and on most Westlake Hills tile homes that is exactly what we recommend. Holden Roofing tile crews lift the sound tile, stack it on the roof in courses, lay new high-temperature underlayment, rebuild the flashing at walls and chimneys, then relay your original tile.
Cracked pieces get replaced and discontinued profiles get sourced for a match. These crews run out of the Austin office, part of a company that has replaced more than 100,000 roofs since 1961. You pay for the layer that failed, not the one that held.
“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 Roofer Who Swears West Lake Hills Needs No Permit
West Lake Hills requires a permit for roofing, filed as a small project permit through the MGO Connect portal, and plenty of Austin roofers have never heard of it. They carry over the City of Austin rule, where a like-for-like re-roof needs none, and assume it holds on your side of MoPac.
It does not. An unpermitted roof tends to surface at the worst possible moment: during a sale, during a claim, or when a city inspector notices the dumpster.
“Who Files the West Lake Hills Roofing Permit, and Where Is It on My Estimate?”
A bad answer is “nobody permits a re-roof out here,” or a breezy “we’ll take care of it” with no line item to point to. That roofer is working from Austin’s rulebook, not your city’s.
How Holden Roofing Answers It
We file it ourselves through MGO Connect before the first tile or panel comes off, and the fee sits on your estimate as its own line. On a claim that matters, because a carrier pays for what is itemized and ignores what is buried.
Holden Roofing has worked from its Austin office since 1997 and pulls the West Lake Hills permit on every job here, retail or insurance. No stop-work notice on your gate, and no awkward question at closing.
Problem Three: The Roofer Who Folds When the Adjuster Says “Cosmetic”
Adjusters learn hail on shingle, so a dented standing seam panel or a chipped tile nose gets written off as cosmetic far more often than a bruised shingle does. The first roofer hears that word and loads the ladder back on the truck.
On a tile or metal claim in 78746, which runs five figures at minimum, that one word can be the most expensive entry on the whole form.
“If My Carrier Calls It Cosmetic, What Is Your Next Move?”
A weak roofer shrugs or says “that’s between you and your insurance.” A real one names the steps without pausing: separate photo sets, a rep on the roof with the adjuster, a re-inspection request, appraisal when the evidence holds.
How Holden Roofing Answers It
We separate functional damage from cosmetic on every slope before the adjuster arrives, so nobody can blur the two on the report. A Holden Roofing project manager photographs seams, clips, sealant, finish strikes and tile noses, then stands on the roof beside the adjuster.
If the carrier still refuses, we request the re-inspection and walk you through appraisal, step by step. And if the evidence will not carry the fight, we tell you that plainly instead of dragging it out.
“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. Kudos to Tim for his tenacity, knowledge of the process and network.”

Seven Questions to Put to Any Roofer Before They Touch a Westlake Hills Roof
These are the questions Westlake Hills homeowners bring to Holden Roofing most often, worded the way they actually ask them, with the straight answer each one gets. A roofer who hedges on any of them has already told you enough. Thank him and dial the next name.
01“Has Your Crew Set Concrete Tile Before, or Is My House Their Practice Run?”
Your house is nobody’s practice run. Holden Roofing sends dedicated tile crews out of the Austin office, not a shingle crew borrowed for the week. Many of our roughly 400 installers statewide have ten or more years on roofs, some past thirty.
02“Are You Going to Screw Through the Face of My Metal Panels?”
No, not on standing seam. Holden Roofing fastens panels with concealed clips so a long hillside run on Westlake Drive can expand and contract through August heat. Every exposed screw is a leak waiting on an aging washer.
03“A Live Oak Limb Just Came Through My Roof. Who Pays for the Tarp?”
Usually your carrier, as long as it is documented. Holden Roofing photographs the opening before covering it, tarps and dries in the roof, and the tarping invoice goes straight into your claim file. Camelot and Lost Creek canopies make this a common call.
04“My Roof Has Looked a Little Off Since That Windy Evening in May 2025. Worth a Look?”
Yes, and sooner beats later. On May 28, 2025, a wind report in West Lake Hills logged roof panel damage at 6:30 PM. Holden Roofing checks every clip and seam, because a panel edge that lifted once tends to lift again.
05“When My Warranty Needs a Phone Call in 2040, Who Answers?”
The same company that answers today. The Holden family started roofing Texas in 1961 and opened the Austin office in 1997. On a shingle roof, Owens Corning Platinum Protection backs our workmanship too. We plan on being here.
06“Be Honest. Is My Roof Actually Damaged, or Do You Just Want the Job?”
You see the evidence and you make the call. Holden Roofing hands you photo sets and hit counts by slope, then tells you whether the damage clears your carrier’s threshold. If it falls short, we say don’t file. A weak claim only leaves a mark on your record.
07“How Many Days Will Your Crew Be Parked in My Driveway?”
Fewer than most people expect. Most shingle homes are torn off and dried in the same day. A tile relay or standing seam roof on a large hillside home takes three to seven working days, with magnets run through the beds and driveway each evening.
Put all seven to every roofer bidding your house, then call Holden Roofing at (512) 750-0523 and let a project manager answer them standing in your driveway.
What You Actually Need From a Westlake Hills Roofing Contractor, and Why Holden Roofing Is Built Around It
You need a roofer who can work on the roof you already own, in the material your home was designed for, and who will still be in Austin when the warranty needs a phone call. Here is what that takes, and how Holden Roofing delivers each piece in Westlake Hills.
A Manufacturer That Puts Its Own Name Behind the Installer
Owens Corning extends its Platinum Preferred Contractor tier by invitation to fewer than 7 percent of its Preferred Contractors, and Holden Roofing holds it statewide. The manufacturer reviews installation quality, customer satisfaction and business practices before extending it.
Only a Platinum contractor can register the Platinum Protection limited lifetime warranty on your shingle roof.
What the Platinum Warranty Covers on a Westlake Hills Shingle Roof
Materials
For as long as you own your Westlake Hills home, Owens Corning Duration and Duration FLEX are backed by a limited lifetime material warranty and 130 mph wind coverage. On a wooded hillside lot in Lost Creek, that wind number matters more than most homeowners expect.
Workmanship
Workmanship on the install is covered too, under the Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty. If a Holden Roofing crew made the error, Owens Corning backs the fix. That is the part a four-nail crew with a magnet on the truck cannot offer you.
Sixty-Five Years of Texas Roofs and More Than 100,000 of Them
Tile and standing seam crews are not assembled off a job board the week after a hailstorm. They were setting tile in Westlake before the storm, and they will be after.
Reviews That Name the Project Manager, Year After Year
A Free Inspection With No Contract on the Porch
The One Thing Holden Roofing Will Not Be
Reviewers say they shopped around. They also say why they came back.
“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. The roofing crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the property clean…”
“…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 Westlake Hills, and What Happens Next
Westlake Hills sits about 12 miles southwest of the Holden Roofing office on Anderson Lane, a 20 to 25 minute drive down MoPac and Bee Cave Road. Call (512) 750-0523 or text a photo, and a project manager who works out of that office sets your free inspection. No call center. No script.
The First Visit
A tile or standing seam inspection on a large Westlake Hills home runs 45 to 90 minutes. The project manager checks ridge and hip tiles, valley metal, panel seams and clips, pipe boots, skylight curbs and the attic side of the deck, then shows you the photos at the kitchen table.
You leave that visit with one of three answers: repair, replace, or leave it alone. If a storm claim is in play, you also hear whether the damage is likely to clear your carrier’s threshold before you file.

Holden Roofing AustinRoofing Services in Westlake Hills: Retail Roofing and Storm Roofing From One Team
Holden Roofing handles the roof you pay for yourself and the roof your carrier pays for with the same tile, metal and shingle crews and the same Owens Corning standard. Most roofers marketing into 78746 are built for one side of that business.
Westlake Hills weather does not care which side you are on.
Retail Roofing in Westlake Hills
Free Roof Inspection
A Holden Roofing inspection covers the roof surface, every tile course or panel seam, every penetration and flashing, the soft metals, the attic side of the deck, and ground-level collateral like screens, gutters and pool equipment. You keep the photos. You decide what to do with them.
Click for moreClick to close
Book one before you buy or sell on Westlake Drive, after any April storm, when a tile roof passes 20 years, and whenever a limb comes down on the roof after a wind event.
Roof Replacement
A Holden Roofing replacement starts with the West Lake Hills permit, then tear-off, deck inspection, new underlayment, ice and water shield, new flashing and drip edge, ventilation and the finished roof system. Shingle homes are usually dried in the same day.
Click for moreClick to close
What a Tile or Standing Seam Replacement Looks Like on a Hillside Lot
Tile and standing seam on a 4,000 to 6,000 square foot custom home run three to seven working days. Panels are roll-formed to the exact slope length, so there are no horizontal laps. Tile is staged on the roof in courses. A crew member walks the beds and driveway with magnets every evening.
Roof Repair
Repair is the right call when the damage is isolated: three cracked tiles at a valley, a lifted seam at a chimney, a failed pipe boot, a skylight curb leak. Holden Roofing quotes the repair on its own, so a $1,500 fix is never dressed up as a $60,000 replacement.
Emergency Roof Repair and Tarping
When a live oak limb opens the roof over your kitchen in Camelot on a Saturday night, Holden Roofing tarps and stabilizes it before the next round of rain. The damage is photographed before the tarp goes on, and the tarping invoice becomes part of the claim.
“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 Westlake Hills
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Hail damages a tile roof, a metal roof and a shingle roof three different ways, and an adjuster trained on shingle will only recognize one of them. Holden Roofing documents cracked tile noses, finish strikes and sealant failures on metal, and mat bruising on shingle, each with its own photo set.
Wind Damage Roof Repair
Westlake Hills sits on exposed limestone ridges where a 60 mph gust gets a running start, and a standing seam panel edge that lifted once will lift again. Holden Roofing checks clips and seams on every slope and files wind damage as the dated insurance event it is.
Hurricane and Severe Storm Damage
Gulf remnants and Hill Country supercells do hurricane-grade work on these hills without a landfall. Holden Roofing’s Houston and San Antonio offices run hurricane claims every season, and the Austin office uses the same documentation playbook on Westlake Hills roofs.
What the Adjuster Looks For
Test squares and functional damage
On shingle, adjusters count hits inside a 10 by 10 foot square and most carriers want 8 or more per slope. On tile and metal, the fight is over the words “functional” and “cosmetic.” Holden Roofing documents both categories separately so the adjuster cannot blur them.
Soft metals and finish strikes
Dented turbine vents, gutters, downspouts, AC fins and Kynar finish strikes prove hail size and direction. Holden Roofing photographs every one before the adjuster parks.
Collateral damage
Window screens, fence stain, pool equipment, outdoor kitchens and patio covers. On an estate lot in Seven Oaks, the collateral line can run five figures by itself, and it only gets paid if it is documented.
Storm, Hail and Wind Damage in Westlake Hills: What Hit, When, and What It Did to Your Roof
Westlake Hills sits on top of the Balcones Escarpment, the 500-foot limestone step that forces Gulf air upward and feeds spring supercells, so storms mature over these hills before central Austin sees them. Western Travis County files hail claims at rates 40 to 60 percent higher than the east side.
Westlake Hills sits in the state that has led the country in major hail events eleven years straight, with 902 counted in 2025. Travis County logs three to five damaging hail events in a typical year, and the peak window runs the first three weeks of April with a second stretch late May into June.
Every dated event below falls inside that window.
The Westlake Hills Storms Holden Roofing Crews Still Get Calls About
2021
- April 15, 2021.
A Thursday evening outbreak across Central Texas that put hundreds of claims on State Farm’s desk within days. The average Texas homeowner hail claim now runs about $11,700, and a tile claim in 78746 runs well past that.
- April 28 to May 1, 2021.
Back-to-back storms with 2 to 3 inch stones across the region, the same week Hondo recorded the 6.4 inch Texas state record.
2024
- April 9, 2024.
Spotters logged 1.75 to 2.5 inch hail within 4.4 to 4.7 miles of West Lake Hills between 4:59 and 5:05 PM, with tennis-ball hail near MoPac and Far West. Rob Roy, Davenport Ranch and Lost Creek all sat under that cell.
- 2024 in total.
Twenty hail reports landed within 10 miles of the city that year, according to StormerSite’s archive of National Weather Service spotter reports.
2025
- May 28, 2025.
The East Austin microburst day also produced a wind report in West Lake Hills at 6:30 PM with roof panel damage. If a panel edge on your roof has looked slightly off since that evening, that is the storm.
2026 So Far
- April 30, 2026.
Quarter-size hail in Sunset Valley, 4.7 miles from the city, inside the peak April window.
If your roof sat under any of those dates and nobody has walked it since, that is the free inspection to book.
“A great roofing company to work with. We had light to moderate hail damage to our roof. Paul performed a thorough and inspection of our property and put together a detailed report that eventually made working with our insurance company easy and hassle free. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process, from inspection to quote to scheduling to post-job follow-up…”
What Those Storms Did to Westlake Hills Roofs, Street by Street
1960s and 1970s Hillside Homes in Lost Creek, Westlake Highlands and Camelot
Original shingle roofs on the greenbelt edge, many on their third or fourth roof, often with plank decking that has been wet before and a canopy of live oaks dropping limbs every wind event. Spring hail plus 29 days a year at 100 degrees takes a rated 30-year shingle down to 15 to 25.
1980s and 1990s Estate Homes in Rob Roy, Davenport Ranch and Seven Oaks
Concrete and clay tile on 4,000 to 8,000 square foot homes with complex rooflines. A 2-inch stone rarely punches through tile, but it cracks corners and splits tile noses, and the water then reaches underlayment that is already past its 25 to 30 year life.
Contemporary Rebuilds on Westlake Drive, Wildcat Hollow and the Loop 360 Corridor
Standing seam metal with flat TPO sections and long hillside slopes. A 24-gauge panel dents, it does not leak. What fails is the finish on a hard strike, the sealant at penetrations, and the clips when wind lifts an edge. Carriers treat each differently, so Holden Roofing documents each on its own.
How Holden Roofing Handles Your Westlake Hills Insurance Claim
A tile or standing seam claim in Westlake Hills is a five-figure claim at minimum and often a six-figure one, and carriers scrutinize it accordingly. You own the claim and the policy. Holden Roofing’s job is to make sure the carrier sees every tile corner and panel seam the roof is showing us.
The Five Steps of a Westlake Hills Hail Claim With Holden Roofing
Step 1. Inspection and Photo Report
A project manager walks every slope, tile course and seam, photographs soft metals and collateral, and checks the attic side of the deck. Functional and cosmetic damage are photographed in separate sets.
Step 2. The Honest Threshold Call
You hear plainly whether the damage will clear your carrier’s threshold. If it will not, Holden Roofing tells you not to file. A denied claim on a $2 million home helps nobody.
Step 3. The Adjuster Meeting
Your Holden Roofing rep is on the roof with the adjuster, pointing at each cracked tile and each lifted clip, so the scope reflects what is there instead of what fit the adjuster’s shingle checklist.
Step 4. Scope Review and Supplements
Underlayment, flashing, discontinued tile matching, the West Lake Hills permit fee and code items get missed on the first estimate more often than not. Holden Roofing writes the supplement with the photos to back it.
Step 5. Build, Invoice and Depreciation Release
Holden Roofing builds to the approved scope, sends the completion certificate and final invoice, and helps you recover the depreciation your policy held back.
When the Claim Is Denied
Denials run higher on tile and metal than on shingle, because adjusters are trained on shingle and “cosmetic” is the easiest word on the form. Most Texas policies carry an appraisal clause, and Holden Roofing reps have walked dozens of homeowners through re-inspection and appraisal.
“…We were out of town when it happened and had actually changed insurance companies after 20 years, before we realized we had damage. The situation was really messy; both insurance companies were pointing the fingers at each other for over a year. We recruited Timothy to help us with the situation on a friend’s recommendation… It took him three or four months to fight this out with the insurance companies, but our roof and our gutters finally got replaced with full coverage…”
The Texas Deductible Law That Protects Westlake Hills Homeowners
Texas House Bill 2102, passed in 2019, makes it a Class B misdemeanor for a contractor to waive, rebate, credit or absorb your insurance deductible: up to a $2,000 fine and six months in jail. On a tile claim that deductible is a large number, which is why some roofers offer to “handle it.”
Before a carrier releases your depreciation holdback, it can ask you to prove the deductible was paid. Holden Roofing will never offer to waive a deductible, and it tells you your out-of-pocket number before the first tile moves.
| Typical Westlake Hills claim line item | Usually covered by insurance | Homeowner responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Tile lift, new underlayment, relay of sound tile | Yes, when damage is functional | Deductible only |
| Replacement of cracked or discontinued tile | Usually, with matching documentation | Upgrades beyond like-for-like |
| Standing seam panel replacement after functional damage | Yes, at approved scope | Deductible only |
| Cosmetic-only dents on metal panels | Often excluded by endorsement | Read the endorsement before filing |
| Underlayment, flashing, drip edge, code items | Often, with supplement | Varies by carrier |
| West Lake Hills roofing permit fee | Yes, as a line item | None when itemized |
| Emergency tarping after a limb strike | Yes, with invoice | Deductible only |
| Screens, gutters, pool equipment, patio covers | Yes, if hail damaged | Deductible only |
| Recoverable depreciation | Released after completion certificate | None if completed on time |
Shingle, Metal, Tile and Flat Roofing for Westlake Hills Homes
Westlake Hills carries more tile, standing seam and premium shingle per square mile than almost any city Holden Roofing serves, and the materials follow the home values: the median sale here runs about $1.95 million. Holden Roofing installs all of them from one office with one crew standard.
| Roofing system | Expected life in Westlake Hills | Hail performance | Weight per square | Best fit in Westlake Hills |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clay or concrete tile | 50+ years (underlayment 25 to 30) | Good, individual tiles crack on large hail | 900 to 1,200 lb | Mediterranean and Hill Country estates in Rob Roy, Seven Oaks, Davenport Ranch |
| Standing seam metal | 40 to 70 years | Excellent, dents rather than leaks | 100 to 150 lb | Contemporary rebuilds on Westlake Drive, Wildcat Hollow, Loop 360 corridor |
| Owens Corning Duration FLEX (Class 4) | 25 to 30 years | UL 2218 Class 4, premium discount | 230 to 260 lb | 1960s to 1990s homes in Lost Creek, Westlake Highlands, Camelot |
| Owens Corning Duration architectural shingle | 20 to 30 years | Class 3 impact, 130 mph wind warranty | 230 to 250 lb | Guest houses, rental property, budget-conscious replacements |
| Stone-coated steel | 40 to 50 years | Class 4 | About 150 lb | The tile look on framing that was never designed for tile weight |
| TPO, modified bitumen (low slope) | 15 to 30 years | Good with proper insulation board | 30 to 200 lb | Flat sections on contemporary homes, garage and porch roofs |
TileTile Roofing in Westlake Hills
Clay and concrete tile is the signature roof of the Rob Roy, Seven Oaks and Davenport Ranch estates, and it needs a roofer who understands the underlayment, not just the tile. The tile is usually fine at year 30. The underlayment under it is what fails.
Click for moreClick to close
Holden Roofing lifts and resets sound tile over new high-temperature underlayment, replaces cracked tile, sources discontinued profiles, and rebuilds the flashing at walls, chimneys and skylights.
The Weight Question Before Any Tile Goes On
Concrete tile weighs 900 to 1,200 pounds per square. Before Holden Roofing lays tile on a home that previously carried shingle, the framing is checked for the load. Stone-coated steel gives the same look at about 150 pounds per square when the framing says no.
MetalMetal Roofing in Westlake Hills
Standing seam is the most common roof on the contemporary rebuilds along Westlake Drive and the Loop 360 corridor, and it is the system Holden Roofing recommends for a primary residence in hail country. 24-gauge Kynar-coated steel, concealed clips, no exposed fasteners, 40 to 70 years here.
Click for moreClick to close
Panels are roll-formed to the exact slope length. A 2-inch hailstone leaves a dent, not a leak. Metal also reflects a large share of the summer solar load on a west-facing hillside slope.
Why Face-Screwed Panels Are the Shortcut to Avoid
Exposed-fastener metal is cheaper to install and every screw is a future leak as the washers age in Texas heat. Holden Roofing installs standing seam with concealed clips so the panel can expand and contract across a long hillside run without working a fastener loose.
ShinglePremium Asphalt Shingle Roofing With Owens Corning
Duration
For the 1960s through 1990s shingle homes in Lost Creek, Westlake Highlands and Camelot, Owens Corning Duration is the roof Holden Roofing installs most, and the reason is the SureNail strip.
Click for moreClick to close
The SureNail Strip
A woven reinforcement fabric in the nail zone that earns the shingle a 130 mph wind warranty and holds the nail through the thermal cycling that cooks a west-facing slope every August. Duration also carries a Class 3 impact rating and 25-year algae resistance.
Duration FLEX
Duration FLEX uses SBS polymer-modified asphalt that flexes on impact instead of fracturing, which earns it the top UL 2218 Class 4 rating and a premium discount from your carrier.
The Class 4 Test
Testers let a 2-inch steel ball fall 20 feet onto a single spot twice, and a Class 4 shingle comes through uncracked. Texas Insurance Code Section 2253 requires carriers to offer a premium discount for Class 4 roofs, typically 20 to 30 percent on the wind and hail portion in the Austin area.
On a hillside shingle home west of MoPac, FLEX usually pays back its upcharge through that discount before the second hail season.
Low-slopeFlat and Low-Slope Roofing in Westlake Hills
The contemporary rebuilds in 78746 pair standing seam main roofs with flat TPO sections over garages, porches and roof decks, and Holden Roofing’s commercial division installs TPO, modified bitumen, tapered insulation and coatings on all of them.
A sound but weathered flat section can often be extended five to ten years with a silicone coating for a fraction of a tear-off, and Holden Roofing quotes that option when it fits.
“…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. I would highly recommend Tim and the Holden Roofing company if you are thinking about getting your roof done in the Austin area…”
What a New Roof Costs in Westlake Hills in 2026
A roof replacement in Westlake Hills costs more than the Austin average because the homes are larger, the slopes steeper, the lots harder to stage, and the roofs tile and metal more often than shingle.
Austin-wide, shingle runs $9,000 to $26,000+, Class 4 FLEX $11,000 to $30,000+, standing seam $18,000 to $43,000+ and tile $25,000 to $58,000+.
Repairs start around $1,200 and run to $8,500+ depending on access, tile availability and whether the deck has to be opened. The ranges below are 2026 Austin-area market ranges scaled to Westlake Hills roof sizes, not a Holden Roofing price book. Your written estimate is free.
| Westlake Hills home profile | Roof size | Asphalt shingles (Owens Corning Duration) | Standing seam metal | Tile roofing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,600 sq ft 1970s hillside home, Lost Creek or Westlake Highlands | 28 to 34 squares, wooded lot | $13,000 to $27,000+ | $28,000 to $48,000+ | $36,000 to $60,000+ |
| 3,800 sq ft two story, Camelot or Davenport Ranch | 40 to 50 squares, steep | $19,000 to $38,000+ | $42,000 to $70,000+ | $52,000 to $88,000+ |
| 5,500 sq ft estate home, Rob Roy or Seven Oaks | 60 to 75 squares, complex | $28,000 to $55,000+ | $60,000 to $100,000+ | $75,000 to $125,000+ |
| 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 lists tear-off or tile lift, decking allowance per sheet, underlayment, ice and water, drip edge, flashing, field material, hip and ridge, ventilation and the West Lake Hills permit, line by line. If another bid is $15,000 lower, ask which of those lines 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 standing seam on a retail job.

“…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.”
Westlake Hills Homeowners on Holden Roofing: 382 Reviews, 4.6 Stars
Read the reviews in bulk and three things come up again and again: a project manager who outlasts the insurance company, a crew that finishes when it said it would, and a yard that looks untouched when the trucks leave.
“Never Once Hounding Us for Payment”
“…Tim went above and beyond by meeting directly with my insurance adjuster to make sure I received the maximum benefit from my claim, ensuring nothing was overlooked… Tim and the Holden Roofing team worked seamlessly with my insurance carrier and mortgage company, and they were patient as the payment moved through bank holds and internal processing… never once hounding or applying pressure for payment. That level of trust and courtesy is rare these days.”
“Done in a Day, and the Neighbors Asked Who Did It”
“Great experience. Had all their information and documentation ready on the first visit and were very transparent about their findings. They worked on our behalf with our insurance company and were very responsive throughout the process. Our roof replacement was done in a day. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and already have done so with some of our neighbors!”
“You Could Not Even Notice There Had Been a Project”
“The experience with Holden Roofing was nothing but exceptional. The communication throughout the project was superb. The timing was great and the timeline was discussed and carried out to the upmost. The teams assigned to perform the work was superb. The cleanup of the vicinity was performed and you could not even notice there had been a project performed. We received so many compliments from the neighbors on the speed of the project…”
Westlake Hills Is Served by Holden Roofing’s Austin Location
Every Westlake Hills roof is handled by Holden Roofing’s Austin office at 111 W Anderson Ln, Suite E360A, about 12 miles and 20 to 25 minutes from West Lake Hills city hall by way of MoPac and Bee Cave Road.
The same cell that hits Rob Roy usually reaches Rollingwood and Barton Creek minutes later, so crews are already on this side of the river.

Permits in Westlake Hills
The City of West Lake Hills requires a permit for roofing, filed as a small project permit through the MGO Connect portal, with no hard copies or emails accepted. That is stricter than the City of Austin, which does not permit a like-for-like residential re-roof.
Holden Roofing files it for you before the first tile or panel comes off and itemizes the fee on the estimate so your carrier can cover it.
Storm Chasers Knock in Westlake Hills Too. Here’s How to Tell Holden Roofing From the Rest
The honest part first: some Holden Roofing reps do knock on doors in 78746 after a hailstorm, because a cracked tile corner on a second-story slope is invisible from the driveway and a free inspection is the only way to find it before the claim window closes.
The bigger the homes, the more trucks show up after the storm.
What separates Holden Roofing from the out-of-state plates is everything that happens after the doorbell.
- A local address you can drive to. Holden Roofing Austin is at 111 W Anderson Ln, Suite E360A, in Austin since 1997. Ask the other truck for theirs.
- Photos of their last three tile or standing seam jobs. A shingle crew cannot produce them.
- The permit answer. Ask who pulls the West Lake Hills permit. A roofer who says “nobody permits a re-roof here” has not worked here.
- A manufacturer that vouches for them. Owens Corning lists Holden Roofing on its own Platinum Preferred directory. A yard sign is not a credential.
- No offer to touch your deductible. That is a Class B misdemeanor under Texas HB 2102, and it tells you how the rest of the job will go.
- No assignment of benefits at the door. Get the inspection report, sleep on it, and read the reviews that predate this storm.
“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. Highly recommend Holden to anyone looking for roof work.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Roofer in Westlake Hills TX
Call (512) 750-0523
How much does a roofer in Westlake Hills TX charge to replace a roof?
Across the Austin market in 2026, architectural shingle runs $9,000 to $26,000+, Class 4 Duration FLEX $11,000 to $30,000+, standing seam metal $18,000 to $43,000+ and tile $25,000 to $58,000+, and Westlake Hills homes land at the upper end of each range or above it because of size and pitch.
Repairs run $1,200 to $8,500+. Holden Roofing provides a free inspection and a written line-item estimate with the permit fee shown.
Does West Lake Hills require a permit to replace a roof?
Yes. The City of West Lake Hills requires a permit for roofing, filed as a small project permit through the MGO Connect portal. That is stricter than Austin’s rule for a like-for-like re-roof. Holden Roofing files it on every Westlake Hills job and itemizes the fee.
How quickly can Holden Roofing get to Westlake Hills?
The Austin office at 111 W Anderson Ln is about 12 miles and 20 to 25 minutes from West Lake Hills city hall by way of MoPac and Bee Cave Road. Inspections are usually set within a day or two, and emergency tarping after a limb strike or wind event starts with a call to (512) 750-0523.
When was the last major hail in Westlake Hills?
April 9, 2024, when spotters logged 1.75 to 2.5 inch hail within about five miles of the city and tennis-ball hail near MoPac and Far West. A May 28, 2025 wind report in West Lake Hills included roof panel damage, and quarter-size hail fell in Sunset Valley, 4.7 miles away, on April 30, 2026.
Can Holden Roofing repair a tile roof in Rob Roy or Davenport Ranch without replacing it?
Yes. Holden Roofing performs lift-and-relay work where the tile is sound and the underlayment has failed, replaces cracked tile, and sources discontinued profiles for a match. Concrete tile weighs 900 to 1,200 pounds per square, so framing is checked before tile goes on a former shingle home.
Is standing seam metal worth it on a Westlake Hills home?
For most custom homes here, yes. Standing seam lasts 40 to 70 years in this climate against 15 to 25 for architectural shingle, dents rather than leaks under 2-inch hail, and qualifies for the Class 4 premium discount with most carriers.
It costs two to three times a shingle roof and typically outlasts two or three of them.
Do gated communities like Rob Roy or Seven Oaks have rules that affect a roofing job?
Rob Roy is gated with private roads and Seven Oaks has an active community association, and both expect coordination on gate access, delivery windows and dumpster placement. Holden Roofing handles that with the association before install day so your neighbors never hear about it.
Can a roofer legally waive my deductible in Texas?
No. Texas House Bill 2102 has made it a Class B misdemeanor since 2019 for a contractor to waive, rebate, credit or absorb an insurance deductible. Carriers can require proof you paid it before releasing depreciation. On a tile claim that deductible is large, which is why the offer gets made.
