The Lakeway Roofing Company

A roofing company in Lakeway, built around Hill Country roofs

Roofs here take a specific beating: hail in spring, a hundred days of direct sun, short violent downpours that find any drainage defect, and the occasional freeze. Add steep pitches, tile on a large share of homes, and HOAs with opinions about color and profile, and roofing in Lakeway stops being generic work.

We repair and replace roofs across Lakeway, Bee Cave, Spicewood, The Hills and the Lake Travis area — shingle, metal and tile, residential and commercial. Every job starts the same way: someone gets on the roof, photographs what is there, and puts the findings in writing before anyone talks about price.

What we do

Metal roofing, and the question that actually matters

Metal is a bigger share of the roofs here than in most of Austin, partly because of the look and partly because of hail. Once the material is settled, one decision drives the rest: where the fasteners go.

Standing seam hides them — panels lock at raised seams and attach with concealed clips, so nothing is driven through the face of the roof. Exposed-fastener metal is screwed through the panel face, and every screw carries a rubber washer that ages in UV and works loose with thermal cycling, which means periodic re-screwing across the whole surface. Both have a place. They are not the same product, and two quotes that look similar on paper frequently are not.

Two things worth knowing before you choose: oil canning, the visible waviness in flat panels, is inherent to formed metal rather than a defect, and many Texas policies exclude cosmetic hail dents on metal roofs.

Tile roofs need a different conversation

A large share of Lakeway and Rough Hollow homes are clay or concrete tile, and tile fails differently from shingle. The most useful thing to know: the tile is not what keeps water out. The tile is a shield that takes the sun and the hail, and the actual waterproof layer is the underlayment beneath it.

Tile routinely outlives that underlayment by decades, so a leak with no broken tile is almost always an underlayment failure — and a tile roof that looks perfect from the street tells you nothing about whether it is still waterproof.

Which is why a tile quote that only discusses tiles has not looked at the part that fails.

After a Lakeway hail or wind storm

Hail rarely announces itself. A stone bruises the mat beneath the surface or fractures the shingle without opening a hole, the roof keeps shedding water, and the failure turns up a season or two later when tying it to a storm date has become difficult.

Four things anyone can check from the ground: dents along gutters and downspouts, bruised fins on the outdoor AC condenser, spatter marks on soft metals, and granules collecting where the downspouts drain. If those are there, the roof was hit.

We document damage to the storm date and produce a written scope. We do not adjust or negotiate insurance claims, which is a licensed role in Texas, and no contractor here can legally waive, pay or absorb a deductible. More on roof insurance claims

If the roof is fine, the report says so. We would rather tell you that and be the company you call in three years. See recent work · Read our reviews

How to compare roofing companies in Lakeway

Texas does not license roofing contractors, so there is no state credential to check and the vetting falls to you. Four checks sort companies quickly, and they work on us too.

• An insurance certificate sent to you by the insurer, not a PDF forwarded by the contractor. Call the agent on it.
• Manufacturer certification for the system being quoted. Certification is product-specific, and an uncertified installation can void a manufacturer warranty.
• A line-item quote with decking priced per sheet and ventilation listed separately, so the number does not change after tear-off.
• No offer to cover your deductible. If it is offered, end the conversation — the mechanism is an inflated invoice, and the claim is in your name.
