Here’s the Truth About Hiring a Roofer in Austin Texas After a Hailstorm
Most Austin homeowners do not know their roof is damaged until someone gets on it and looks. Hail bruises on an architectural shingle are the size of a fingertip.
From the ground the roof looks fine. From the attic it looks fine. Then the granules wash off, the mat cracks, and eighteen months later you have a leak that insurance calls “wear and tear.”
That is why the first question is not “who is the cheapest roofer in Austin.” It is “who will document the damage properly, sit with my adjuster, and build the roof the way Owens Corning says it should be built.” Holden Roofing does all three, and 382 Austin-area Google reviews back that up.
“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.”
What You Actually Need From an Austin Roofing Contractor When Your Roof Is Damaged
You need a roofing company that will still be in Austin in ten years, because that is how long a workmanship problem takes to show up. Storm chasers roll through Central Texas every spring, sign a street’s worth of contracts, and leave before the first summer thunderstorm tests their flashing. Holden Roofing has had a physical Austin office since 1997 and a Texas footprint since 1961.
Here is what stands behind every Holden roof in Austin:
- Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor. An invitation-only tier that Owens Corning extends to fewer than 7 percent of its Preferred Contractors. It is the only tier allowed to offer the Owens Corning Platinum Protection limited lifetime workmanship warranty.
- Roofing Texas homes since 1961. The Holden family has replaced more than 100,000 roofs across seven Texas offices in Austin, Houston, Spring, San Antonio, San Marcos, Temple and Dallas.
- 4.6 stars across 382 Google reviews for the Austin office alone, with 342 of those reviews rated five stars.
- Roughly 400 installers statewide, many of whom have been roofing for more than a decade and some for more than 30 years. Your Austin roof is not going to a crew that was hired off a job board last week.
- Licensed, bonded and insured with general liability coverage, and Holden pulls any permit the City of Austin or a surrounding municipality requires.
How to Reach Holden Roofing Austin (and What Happens Next)
Call (512) 750-0523, and a local Holden project manager schedules a free inspection at a time that works for you. No call center in another state. No high-pressure appointment setter. A person who works out of the Anderson Lane office and has walked hundreds of Austin roofs.
Within a few days you will have photos of your roof, a plain-language explanation of what we found, and a written recommendation: repair, replace, or leave it alone. If you have a storm claim, we will also tell you whether the damage is likely to meet your insurance carrier’s threshold before you ever file.
Storm and Hail Damage Roof Repair in Austin, TX: What the Balcones Escarpment Does to Your Shingles
Storm and hail damage roof repair in Austin is the single most common reason Travis County homeowners call Holden Roofing. Austin sits on the eastern edge of the Balcones Escarpment, a 500-foot limestone drop that forces warm Gulf air upward and gives spring supercells their lift. Storms build over the Hill Country, intensify over Westlake, Bee Cave and Dripping Springs, and hammer central Austin before weakening east of I-35.
Texas has led the nation in major hail events for eleven straight years, with 902 major hail events recorded in 2025 alone. Austin’s own peak hail window runs through the first three weeks of April, with a second, longer stretch of severe weather from late May into June.
The Austin Hail Events Our Crews Still Get Calls About
- April 15, 2021. A Thursday evening storm dropped large hail across Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown and north Austin. State Farm alone reported hundreds of claims within days, and the average Texas homeowner hail claim now runs about $11,700.
- April 28 to May 1, 2021. The same week produced 2 to 3 inch hail across the region and a 6.4 inch stone in Hondo, still the Texas state record.
- May 28, 2025. A microburst and hail core moved across East Austin, Govalle, MLK, Riverside and Springdale, then continued into Manor, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park and Georgetown with golf ball hail. Entire neighborhoods needed roofs.
“Holden Roofing did a wonderful job with our roof! We were hit by a terrible hail storm that totaled every roof in our neighborhood. We watched our many neighbors get their roofs replaced and then decided which company to go with by word of mouth and seeing the quality of the new roofs around us. Timothy was wonderful to work with. Our roof was replaced in a very high quality, professional manner.”
What Hail Actually Does to an Austin Roof
Hail does three kinds of damage, and only one of them is visible from your driveway.
Granule loss and bruising
A one-inch stone hitting a shingle at 50 miles per hour knocks the protective granules loose and fractures the fiberglass mat underneath. The bruise feels soft under a thumb. UV then bakes the exposed asphalt, and Austin averages close to 29 days a year at or above 100 degrees, so that exposed asphalt does not last.
Cracked and dented metal components
Ridge vents, pipe boots, turbine vents, flashing and gutters take dents you can see. Insurance adjusters use these “soft metals” as evidence of hail size and direction, which is why our inspectors photograph every one of them.
Wind-lifted shingles and broken seals
The same storm that drops hail brings 60 to 80 mile per hour gusts. Those gusts break the adhesive seal strip, and a shingle that has lifted once will lift again in the next storm even if it looks flat today.
Emergency Tarping After an Austin Storm
If water is coming in right now, Holden can tarp and stabilize the roof before the next round of weather. Temporary dry-in protects your ceilings, insulation and electrical, and documented mitigation is something most Texas homeowner policies expect you to do. We photograph the damage before the tarp goes on so nothing is lost for the claim.
How Holden Roofing Works With Your Insurance Company (Real Numbers, Not Promises)
Holden Roofing inspects, documents, meets the adjuster, and builds to the approved scope, and we have done that on thousands of Central Texas storm claims. The homeowner still owns the claim and still owns the policy. Our job is to make sure the carrier sees everything the roof is telling us.
The Five Steps of an Austin Hail Claim With Holden
Inspection and photo report.
A Holden project manager walks the roof, the attic and the property, then builds a photo report with test squares, soft metal damage and any collateral damage to gutters, screens or AC fins.
Claim filing.
We tell you plainly whether the damage clears the carrier’s typical threshold. If it does, you file the claim and we schedule around the adjuster.
Adjuster meeting.
Your Holden rep is on the roof with the adjuster, pointing out every hit, so the scope reflects what is actually there.
Scope review and supplements.
If the carrier misses code items, decking, drip edge or ventilation, we submit supplements with the documentation to support them.
Build, final invoice and depreciation release.
We build to the approved scope, send the carrier the final invoice, and help you recover the recoverable depreciation your policy holds back.
When the Claim Is Denied
A denied hail claim in Austin is not the end of the road, and several of our most detailed reviews come from homeowners who were told no first. Most Texas homeowner policies include an appraisal clause. Holden reps have walked dozens of Austin homeowners through re-inspections, appraisal and, where appropriate, licensed public adjusters.
“My insurance denied the damage on my roof completely. Then I hired an adjuster to fight them, still nothing worked. After that, they sent me to a lawyer, and I had almost no hope left. A friend recommended Timothy and sent him to meet me. It took him less than 2 hours to get the insurance to agree to come back to my house and re-inspect. In just 24 hours, they approved and agreed to pay for my entire roof!”
“After multiple insurance denials, Chris helped us walk thru the appeal and appraisal process. I was skeptical but the process played out exactly as Chris explained it and the end result was our insurance claim was approved through appraisal just as Chris said he expected it to be.”
The Texas Deductible Law Every Austin Homeowner Should Know
Since 2019, Texas House Bill 2102 makes it a criminal offense for a roofer to waive, rebate or “absorb” your insurance deductible. A contractor who offers to eat your deductible is offering to commit insurance fraud with your name on the claim, and carriers can now demand proof you paid it before releasing depreciation.
Holden Roofing will never offer to waive a deductible. What we will do is tell you exactly what your out-of-pocket number is before the first shingle comes off.
| Typical Austin hail claim line item | Usually covered by insurance | Homeowner responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Tear-off and disposal of damaged shingles | Yes | Deductible only |
| New shingles, underlayment, starter, ridge cap | Yes, at approved scope | Upgrades beyond like-for-like |
| Decking replacement where rotted or hail-fractured | Often, with documentation | Varies by policy |
| Drip edge, ice and water at valleys, ventilation code items | Often, with supplement | Varies by carrier |
| Gutters, screens, AC fins, fence stain | Yes, if hail damaged | Deductible only |
| Upgrade from Class 3 to Class 4 impact shingle | Sometimes, if policy has IR endorsement | Difference in cost |
| Recoverable depreciation | Released after final invoice | None if completed on time |
“This whole process of replacing our shingles was very stressful. Holden roofing (Brandon) made it manageable. They worked with us and our insurance company to get the paperwork filed properly. We only had to pay our deductible in the end. When the time came to install it, they showed up on time, and their team was a machine. The old roof was off by 10 am. They were finished by 4.”
Roof Replacement, Roof Repair and Roof Inspection in Austin, Backed by the Owens Corning Platinum Warranty Because We Stake 65 Years on Every Job
Holden Roofing provides roof replacement, roof repair, roof inspection and storm restoration for homeowners, HOAs, property managers and commercial owners across Greater Austin. Every residential shingle roof we install is eligible for the Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty, which only Platinum Preferred Contractors can offer, because we build to Owens Corning’s full system specification rather than mixing brands to save a few dollars a square.
Roof Replacement in Austin
A Holden roof replacement means full tear-off to the deck, deck inspection and repair, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and penetrations, new drip edge and flashing, proper ventilation and a complete Owens Corning shingle system. Most Austin homes under 3,000 square feet are torn off and dried in the same day. Larger or steeper roofs run a second day.
What a same-day replacement looks like on an Austin street
Crews arrive at first light, cover landscaping, pool and AC units, and start tear-off. Decking gets checked board by board. Dry-in is complete before lunch on most homes, shingles go down through the afternoon, and a dedicated crew member runs magnets through the yard and beds before the trucks leave.
★★★★★ “Holden Roofing replaced our roof following the hail storm in June. Their rep, Cameron Juntti, worked closely with our insurance company to make sure our claim was approved. The roofers were quick and efficient. They finished our 2900 sq. ft. single story in one day including a very thorough clean up.”
Roof Repair in Austin
Roof repair makes sense when the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof has years left: a lifted section after a wind event, a failed pipe boot, cracked flashing at a chimney or a leak at a skylight. Holden repairs are done with matching Owens Corning products where the original roof is Owens Corning, and with color-matched materials where it is not.
We will not sell you a repair on a roof that needs replacing, and we will not sell you a replacement on a roof that needs a $600 repair. Several Austin reviews describe our reps recommending nothing at all.
★★★★★ “In a panic, trying to find a last minute roofer to come out and review an inspection suggestion, I called 3 other roofers, which sent me to voicemail and never called back. Holden was the ONLY roofer I got a hold of. They gave us a thumbs up on the roof, no major concerns. Even though their review netted no work for them, if we have any issues in the future, you can bet I’m calling them first.”
Free Roof Inspection in Austin
A Holden roof inspection covers the roof surface, every penetration and flashing, the soft metals, the attic side of the deck, and the ground-level collateral like gutters, screens and fences. You get the photos. You get the honest read. You decide what to do with it.
Inspections are also the right move before you buy or sell a home in Austin, before a roof warranty expires, and after any storm that drops hail bigger than a quarter within a few miles of your address.
What a Holden inspector checks on every Austin roof:
- Test squares on each slope. A 10 by 10 foot section per slope, counted for hail hits the way adjusters count them.
- Every penetration and flashing. Pipe boots, vents, skylights, chimney flashing and wall step flashing, where most Austin leaks start.
- Soft metals. Gutters, downspouts, turbine vents, ridge vents and AC condenser fins for dents that date and size the hail.
- The attic side. Decking stains, daylight, moisture and ventilation, because a roof can look fine from above and be failing from below.
- Ground-level collateral. Window screens, fences, patio covers and outdoor furniture that carriers will pay to repair if the hail is documented.
Shingle, Metal, Tile and Flat Roofing in Austin: The Real Comparison We Use With Our Own Customers
Holden Roofing installs asphalt shingle, standing seam and R-panel metal, stone-coated steel, clay and concrete tile, and TPO, modified bitumen and built-up low-slope systems across Austin. Most roofers in Austin do one or two of these well. Because Holden runs both residential and commercial divisions, our Austin crews do all of them, which matters on a property with a shingle main roof, a metal porch and a flat patio cover.
| Roofing system | Expected life in Austin | Hail performance | Typical Austin installed cost (2,000 to 2,500 sq ft home) | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Owens Corning Duration architectural shingle | 20 to 30 years | Class 3 impact rating, 130 mph wind warranty | $9,000 to $18,000 | Most Austin subdivisions, insurance replacements |
| Owens Corning Duration FLEX (Class 4) | 25 to 30 years | UL 2218 Class 4, polymer-modified asphalt, 130 mph | $11,000 to $22,000 | Hail-prone west and north Austin, premium discounts |
| Standing seam metal | 40 to 70 years | Excellent, may show cosmetic denting | $18,000 to $35,000+ | Modern builds, Hill Country homes, long-term owners |
| R-panel and stone-coated steel | 30 to 50 years | Very good | $14,000 to $28,000 | Barns, workshops, ranch style homes |
| Clay or concrete tile | 50+ years | Good, individual tiles can crack | $25,000 to $50,000+ | Mediterranean and Spanish style homes, Westlake, Lakeway |
| TPO, modified bitumen, built-up (low slope) | 15 to 30 years | Good with proper insulation board | $8 to $16 per sq ft | Flat roof sections, mid-century homes, commercial |
Costs are Holden’s observed 2026 Austin ranges and vary with pitch, layers, decking condition and access. A written estimate is free.
01Asphalt Shingle Roofing With Owens Corning
Owens Corning Duration shingles are on more Holden roofs in Austin than any other product, and for a reason we can point to: the SureNail strip. SureNail is a woven reinforcement fabric in the nail zone that gives the shingle a 130 mile per hour wind warranty and holds the nail through the thermal cycling that cooks Austin roofs every summer.
Duration versus Duration FLEX for Austin hail
Standard Duration carries a Class 3 impact rating. Duration FLEX is built with polymer-modified (SBS) asphalt that flexes on impact instead of fracturing, earning the top UL 2218 Class 4 rating.
Texas Insurance Code Section 2253 requires carriers to offer a premium discount for Class 4 roofs, and Austin-area discounts on the wind and hail portion typically run 20 to 30 percent.
For a home in Steiner Ranch, Avery Ranch, Great Hills or anywhere west of MoPac, FLEX often pays for its upcharge in premium savings alone.
02Metal Roofing in Austin
Holden installs standing seam, R-panel and stone-coated steel metal roofs on Austin homes, barns, porches and commercial buildings. Standing seam uses concealed clips and 24 or 26 gauge Kynar-coated panels, which is the system we recommend for a primary residence. R-panel is exposed-fastener, costs less, and suits workshops and agricultural buildings. Stone-coated steel gives the look of shingle or tile at a fraction of the weight.
Metal reflects a large share of Austin’s summer solar load and routinely outlives two or three shingle roofs. It does show cosmetic dents in a severe hailstorm, and some Texas policies carry a cosmetic damage exclusion for metal, so we walk through that before you sign.
03Tile Roofing in Austin
Clay and concrete tile roofs are common in Westlake, Lakeway, Barton Creek and the Spanish and Mediterranean style homes across southwest Austin, and they need a roofer who understands the underlayment, not just the tile. On most tile roofs the tile is fine at year 25; the underlayment underneath is what fails. Holden lifts and resets sound tile over new high-temperature underlayment, replaces cracked tile, and rebuilds the flashing at walls and chimneys.
Tile is heavy, at roughly 900 to 1,200 pounds per square for concrete, so converting a shingle roof to tile requires a structural review that we coordinate before quoting.
04Flat and Low-Slope Roofing in Austin
Austin’s mid-century modern homes, garage additions, patio covers and commercial buildings run on low-slope systems, and Holden’s commercial division installs TPO single-ply, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, tapered insulation and roof coatings. White TPO reflects heat off the roof deck, which matters on a flat roof that sees 200 plus sunny days a year. Modified bitumen is the workhorse for small residential flat sections.
An existing flat roof that is structurally sound but weathered can often be extended five to ten years with a silicone or acrylic coating system for a fraction of a tear-off.
“The Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Estate Grey Duration series turned out to be a great high quality look against our trim and brick. Neighbors were very impressed and have asked me for Holden Roofing contact info.”
“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.”
What Roof Replacement Costs in Austin TX in 2026 (Real Numbers by Home Size)
A full architectural shingle replacement on a typical Austin home runs $9,000 to $18,000 in 2026, and most of that spread comes from four things: roof size, pitch, how many layers come off, and how much decking is rotten. Here is how those numbers break out on real Austin houses.
| Austin home profile | Roof size | Owens Corning Duration | Duration FLEX Class 4 | Standing seam metal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sq ft single story, Crestview or Windsor Park | 18 to 22 squares | $8,500 to $12,000 | $10,500 to $14,500 | $19,000 to $27,000 |
| 2,400 sq ft two story, Circle C or Wells Branch | 26 to 32 squares | $12,000 to $17,500 | $14,500 to $21,000 | $27,000 to $38,000 |
| 3,500 sq ft custom, Steiner Ranch or Lakeway | 38 to 48 squares, steep | $18,000 to $28,000 | $22,000 to $33,000 | $40,000 to $60,000 |
| Repair: pipe boot, small flashing, a few shingles | Under 1 square | $350 to $1,200 | $400 to $1,400 | $600 to $2,000 |
Every Holden estimate lists tear-off, decking allowance per sheet, underlayment, ice and water, drip edge, starter, field shingle, hip and ridge, ventilation and permit line by line. If another Austin roofer’s bid is thousands lower, ask which of those lines is missing.
Financing is available through Holden’s financing partners for homeowners paying out of pocket or covering a large deductible.
Why Roofs Fail Faster in Austin Than Almost Anywhere Else in America (29 Days Over 100 Degrees Will Do That)
An architectural shingle rated for 30 years in Ohio is doing well to reach 20 in Austin, and the reasons are heat, UV, hail and wind in that order. Austin sees more than 200 sunny days a year and close to 29 days at or above 100 degrees. Shingles expand during the day, contract at night, and that thermal cycling fatigues the asphalt binder long before the granules wear off.
Add three to five hail events a year across Travis County, spring storms that arrive with 60 to 80 mile per hour gusts, and the occasional freeze like February 2021, and an Austin roof works harder than a roof in almost any other major metro.
Warning Signs Your Austin Roof Needs Attention Now
- Granules collecting in gutters or at downspout splash blocks. Fresh granule loss after a storm is the classic hail signature.
- Shingles that look “bald” or shiny in the afternoon sun. Exposed asphalt has weeks, not years.
- Ceiling stains that appear after a hard rain from the north or west. Wind-driven rain finds lifted shingles and failed flashing first.
- Dented gutters, downspouts, turbine vents or AC fins. If the soft metals took hail, the shingles did too.
- Shingle tabs in the yard after a wind event. Broken seals mean the next storm lifts more.
- A roof past 15 years in Austin. At that age, most carriers start applying actual cash value settlements instead of replacement cost, which is a reason to inspect before a storm, not after.
- Daylight, moisture or dark staining visible from the attic. Decking that has been wet more than once needs replacing, not covering.
Repair or Replace? The Decision Framework Our Austin Project Managers Use on Every Roof
Holden recommends repair when the damage is isolated, the shingle is still pliable, and the roof has at least five years left; we recommend replacement when damage is widespread, the mat is brittle, or a storm claim has been approved. Here is the decision framework our Austin project managers use.
Seal can be re-established, matching shingle available
Bruised mat fails progressively, carriers pay for full slopes
Flashing failures are local and fixable
Brittle shingles cannot be repaired without breaking neighbors
City and manufacturer specs limit layers, and hidden damage lives underneath
Tapered insulation and coating extend life without tear-off
Carrier has already funded a new roof, repair leaves money on the table

Mason and Holden were very communicative and organized, and took a lot of the stress out of things. I appreciated having a single point of contact for most of the process.”
Why 382 Austin Homeowners Have Rated Holden Roofing 4.6 Stars on Google
Holden Roofing Austin holds 4.6 stars across 382 Google reviews, and 342 of them are five stars. Read them in bulk and three patterns show up over and over: a project manager who fights the insurance company, a crew that finishes in a day, and a yard that is cleaner than it was that morning. Here are the reviews Austin homeowners keep writing, with the names of the people they wrote them about.
“They Got It Approved Where Other Roofers Failed”
“We have had 4 roofing companies that will not help us to work with our insurance company, until Tim Carr of Holden Roofing knocked on the doors and told he will work with the insurance companies and are familiar how the insurance company works and know what to do. I had submitted multiple claims to the insurance company and was rejected every time, Tim with Holden Roofing submitted claim and escalated the claim and keep follow up until the insurance approved the claim and have the roof replaced.”
“Our insurance had already denied one claim and we had another company tell us we would likely get denied again so we didn’t move forward. Holden came in and got it approved on the very first try. Even more impressive than that though, was their work ethic. I’ve never been this impressed with a contractor. And I’m usually very critical. Tim’s communication, attention to detail, and management of the subcontractors were all OUTSTANDING.”
“I have Allstate for home insurance and they are awful when it comes to approving claims. Well after 2 failed, Chris stepped right in and was able to make it happen!”
“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. It took well over a year for the claim to be approved. Kudos to Tim for his tenacity, knowledge of the process and network.”
“The Crew Was a Machine”
“The crew showed up right on time and finished the entire job in one day, which was amazing. The roof looks fantastic, and they left everything spotless when they were done. I definitely recommend Holden Roofing if you need any roofing work done!”
“John Winn is the MVP!! He was an excellent partner from start to finish, and made the experience easy, stress-free, and very straightforward. The pricing was much better than other vendors I talked to and the team completed the entire redecking of the roof in one day. The before and after pictures were amazing!”
“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. We got few storms after that that assured us no leaks from any kind of, that’s why I rated Holden 5 stars.”
“The crew was fast and professional. We have had torrential storms and zero leaks. The roof looks good too!”
“Cleaner Than Before They Came”
“Raul was the crew leader, and they worked very hard, and fast. CLEANED up absolutely wonderful. To the point of not only sweeping with magnets, but crawling on their knees to pick up tiny bits of tar paper. They were great in every way. Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor Holden Roofing.”
“I was impressed with the crew’s attention to detail during the job, and I’m satisfied with the quality of the work. They also replaced a window screen that got damaged during removal of the old roof, at no cost to us. We would recommend them for any residential roof repair or replacement.”
“Solar Panels, Gutters, Chimneys: They Handled All of It”
“With solar panels on our roof, we were worried about how that would go, but it was all handled seamlessly, and once the roof was done we were up and running again quickly. They also removed and disposed of an old satellite dish. Overall, the Holden team was responsive, professional, and provided a quality product and service.”
“We had the roof replaced, gutters installed, and the chimney rebuilt. The work was done professionally and per schedule. The general contractor contact was excellent, great people skills.”
“We have 2 homes in South Austin. Collin with Holden Roofing coordinated the roof replacement on both properties and worked with two insurance companies to get full coverage. Thanks to him, we now have the satisfaction of knowing that our homes are protected for another 25+ years.”
20 Cities and Neighborhoods Where Holden Roofing Austin Replaces Roofs (and Why Each One Gets Hit Differently)
Holden Roofing Austin serves 20 cities and communities across Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bastrop County from the Anderson Lane office, which puts a project manager within 30 to 40 minutes of nearly every roof we work on. Hail does not treat these areas the same. A storm that forms over the Balcones Escarpment at 5 p.m. hammers Bee Cave and Westlake by 5:20, central Austin by 5:40, and Pflugerville and Manor by 6, usually losing size as it goes. Here is what that means street by street.
| Service area | Drive from Anderson Ln | Hail exposure | What we install most |
|---|---|---|---|
| Austin (Central, North, South, East) | 0 to 25 min | High | Duration shingle, low-slope modified bitumen |

Cedar Park sits on the escarpment edge where storms are at full strength, and Buttercup Creek, Ranch at Brushy Creek, Twin Creeks and Anderson Mill West see some of the largest hail in the metro. We recommend Class 4 shingles on nearly every Cedar Park replacement, and most carriers here have seen enough claims to approve them without a fight.
Roofer in Pflugerville, TX
Pflugerville is 15 minutes from the Holden Austin office, and Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk, Avalon, Sorento and Highland Park all sat in the path of the May 28, 2025 storm. Our project managers ran dozens of adjuster meetings in Pflugerville that summer, which is why insurance replacements here move quickly.
Roofer in Georgetown, TX
Georgetown is home to Sun City, one of the largest 55-plus communities in Texas, plus Wolf Ranch, Berry Creek and the historic square, and every one of them has been through multiple hail seasons. Sun City roofs are mostly single-story, 20 to 26 squares, and replace in a single day. We handle the HOA paperwork and color approvals so you do not have to.
Roofer in Leander, TX
Leander has doubled in size since 2010, and Crystal Falls, Travisso, Bryson, Mason Hills and Larkspur are full of builder-grade roofs that were never designed for Hill Country hail. Holden replaces those roofs with a full Owens Corning system, and a Holden project manager based in Leander handles most of the work north of 1431.
Roofer in Hutto, TX
Hutto’s Star Ranch, Hutto Parke, Emory Crossing and Cross Creek subdivisions share the same storm track as Round Rock and Pflugerville, and most homes are 2005 to 2022 builds on their first or second roof. Holden crews reach Hutto in about 25 minutes via 130, and same-day replacements are the norm.
Roofer in Manor, TX
Manor, ShadowGlen, Presidential Glen and Lagos took the eastern end of the May 28, 2025 storm, and many homes there are still carrying bruised shingles. If your Manor roof has not been inspected since that storm, it needs to be, because the claim window is closing.
Roofer in Lakeway, TX
Lakeway, Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls and the Hills sit on the west side of the escarpment where storms are largest, and the homes are larger and steeper than the metro average. Tile, standing seam metal and Class 4 shingle are the right systems here, and Holden’s crews are set up for 40 to 60 square custom roofs with multiple pitches.
Roofer in Bee Cave, TX
Bee Cave, Falconhead, Lake Pointe and the Homestead file hail claims at some of the highest rates in Travis County, because storms crest the escarpment right over Highway 71. We push standing seam metal and Duration FLEX hard in Bee Cave, and we explain the cosmetic damage exclusion on metal before you sign.
Roofer in Westlake Hills, TX
Westlake Hills, Rob Roy, Davenport Ranch and Lost Creek are custom-home territory: clay tile, concrete tile, slate and standing seam on 4,000 to 8,000 square foot houses with complicated roof lines. Holden’s tile and metal crews handle lift-and-reset underlayment jobs and full replacements, and we coordinate structural review before any material change.
Roofer in Rollingwood, TX
Rollingwood is a small enclave between Zilker and Westlake with older custom homes, mature oaks and a high share of tile and low-slope roofs. Tree cover means more debris, more moss on north slopes and more flashing failures at valleys, so a Rollingwood inspection focuses on penetrations first.
Roofer in Dripping Springs, TX
Dripping Springs, Belterra, Headwaters, Caliterra and the ranches along 290 are the first thing a Hill Country supercell hits, and standing seam metal is the dominant roof for a reason. Holden installs standing seam and R-panel metal on homes, barns and workshops across Hays County, and Class 4 shingle where the budget calls for it.
Roofer in Buda, TX
Buda’s Sunfield, Garlic Creek, Whispering Hollow and Elm Grove subdivisions are 30 minutes south of the Holden Austin office and share Austin’s storm track with slightly less hail exposure. Most Buda replacements are Duration shingle on 22 to 30 square roofs, finished in a day.
Roofer in Kyle, TX
Kyle, Plum Creek, Waterleaf, 6 Creeks and the neighborhoods along 1626 grew fast, and many builder-grade roofs from 2012 to 2020 are now failing ahead of schedule in the Texas sun. Holden replaces them with a full Owens Corning system and registers the Platinum warranty so the next roof lasts the way it should.
Roofer in Del Valle, TX
Del Valle, Elroy, Austin’s Colony and the neighborhoods around the airport sat under the May 28, 2025 hail path, and Holden ran a steady stream of insurance replacements there through the fall. We work with every major carrier active in southeast Travis County and meet adjusters on-site.
Roofer in Elgin, TX
Elgin, Trinity Ranch, Eagle’s Landing and the older homes near the historic downtown get fewer direct hail hits than the west side but plenty of wind, and Holden installs shingle roofs on homes and R-panel metal on barns and shops across Bastrop County. We reach Elgin in about 35 minutes via 290.
Roofer in Liberty Hill, TX
Liberty Hill, Santa Rita Ranch, Rancho Sienna and Orchard Ridge are on the northwest edge of the metro where storms come off the Hill Country at full strength. Class 4 shingle and standing seam metal are the standard recommendation, and most Liberty Hill carriers offer the full premium discount for it.
Roofer in Taylor, TX
Taylor is growing around the Samsung site, but most of its housing stock is 1920s to 1980s homes with older roofs, layered shingles and decking that needs attention. Holden does full tear-offs in Taylor with a per-sheet decking allowance written into the estimate, so there are no surprises when the old shingles come off.
Roofer in Lago Vista, TX
Lago Vista and the north shore of Lake Travis add lake wind to hail, and roofs here lose shingles to uplift that a Round Rock roof never sees. Standing seam metal and SureNail-reinforced Duration FLEX with a 130 mile per hour wind warranty are what we install on the lake.
“Recently had our roof replaced with Holden Roofing. We worked with Nathan Lowther in Pflugerville. Nathan made this process so easy. He helped with everything from the initial claim, to meeting with the adjuster, to following up with the claims rep and was here on installation day and after to check on clean up. I never expected getting a roof replacement to be painless, but it was.”
“We found Pat Spurlin to be professional and very helpful in navigating us through the replacement of our roof in Georgetown, TX. Holden Roofing was efficient and timely in their delivery of supplies.”
“John from Holden Roofing in Leander was an absolute pleasure to work with. The quoting and project management process was smooth and John helped make sense of the confusing insurance policies. When the day came to complete the project, all the planning paid off and the job was completed on time with high quality. In fact, John did two roofs for us that same day.”

About the Roofers Knocking on Austin Doors After a Storm (Including Ours)
Some Holden reps do knock on doors after a hailstorm, and we would rather tell you that than have you read it in a one-star review. The reason is simple: the homeowner almost never knows the roof is damaged, and a free inspection is the only way to find out before the claim window closes. Read our lower reviews and nearly all of them are about a knock, not a roof.
What separates Holden from the out-of-town storm chasers is everything that happens after the knock. Here is what to check on anyone who shows up at your door in Austin:
- A physical Texas office you can drive to. Holden Austin is at 111 W Anderson Ln, Suite E360A. Ask the other company for theirs.
- A manufacturer credential you can verify. Owens Corning lists Holden Roofing on its own Platinum Preferred Contractor directory. A magnet on a truck is not a credential.
- A review history that predates this storm. Holden’s Austin Google reviews go back to 2018 and cover every hail season since.
- No offer to waive your deductible. That is a crime under Texas HB 2102, and it tells you everything about how the rest of the job will go.
- A written scope before any contract. A “contingency agreement” signed on your porch before an inspection is a red flag.
- Crews who work for the company year-round. Holden employs roughly 400 installers across Texas. We are not hiring off Craigslist the week after a storm.
“Colin is the professional I’ve been looking for not the gimmicky sales people that have been flooding our streets. From the initial inspection, he walked my property and did a full 360 visual inspection. Colin then physically got on my roof and spent about 15 to 20 minutes walking the roof inspecting my vents, installation and for damages or areas of concern. Once complete he back briefed me the issues, concerns, and recommendations on how he would move forward if it was his own personal property. With photo evidence from inspection.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Roofer in Austin Texas
Call (512) 750-0523 or request your inspection online.
How much does a roofer in Austin Texas charge to replace a roof?
Between $9,000 and $18,000 for an architectural shingle roof on a typical 2,000 to 2,500 square foot Austin home in 2026, and $18,000 to $35,000 or more for standing seam metal. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add roughly 15 to 25 percent over standard architectural shingles. Holden provides a free written line-item estimate.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage roof replacement in Austin?
Yes, in most cases, when the hail damage is documented and the claim is filed within the policy’s reporting window. You pay your deductible, which in Texas is commonly 1 to 2 percent of the dwelling coverage. Holden inspects, documents and meets your adjuster so the scope reflects all of the damage.
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 or absorb an insurance deductible. Insurers can require proof that you paid it. Any Austin roofer who offers to cover your deductible is offering to commit insurance fraud on your claim.
How long does a roof replacement take in Austin?
One day for most shingle roofs under about 3,500 square feet, and one and a half to two days for larger, steeper or multi-layer roofs. Metal and tile roofs run two to five days depending on size and detail. Holden orders materials to arrive the day before and tears off only what can be dried in the same day.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Austin?
Not for a standard like-for-like residential re-roof inside the City of Austin. A permit is required when decking or framing is structurally repaired beyond routine replacement, when skylights or solar mounts are added, or when the roof pitch changes.
Surrounding cities such as Round Rock, Cedar Park and Georgetown have their own rules, and Holden pulls whatever permit applies.
What is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, and why does it matter?
It is the highest contractor tier Owens Corning offers, extended by invitation to fewer than 7 percent of its Preferred Contractors based on installation quality, customer satisfaction and business practices.
Only Platinum Preferred Contractors can offer the Platinum Protection limited lifetime warranty, which covers workmanship as well as materials. Holden Roofing holds this status statewide.
Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in Austin?
Usually yes, west of I-35 and north of the river. Texas Insurance Code Section 2253 requires carriers to offer a premium discount for UL 2218 Class 4 roofs, and Austin-area discounts on the wind and hail portion typically run 20 to 30 percent.
Owens Corning Duration FLEX is Holden’s Class 4 shingle, and the upcharge often pays back within five to eight years of premium savings.
How long does a roof last in Austin?
Fifteen to 25 years for architectural asphalt shingles, 20 to 30 for Class 4 shingles, 40 to 70 for standing seam metal, and 50 plus for clay or concrete tile. Austin’s 29 days a year above 100 degrees, 200 plus sunny days and three to five annual hail events shorten shingle life compared with national averages.
Does Holden Roofing repair roofs, or only replace them?
Both. Holden Austin repairs wind-lifted shingles, pipe boots, flashing, skylights, chimney crickets and flat roof seams, and several Austin reviews describe our reps recommending no work at all after an inspection. Repair is the right call when damage is isolated and the roof has at least five years left.
