Every kind of Austin roof, one crew
No two roofs in Austin look alike, and we have climbed enough of them to know it. The 1920s and 1930s bungalows in Hyde Park and Clarksville run steep with old wood decking under them. The cottages in Travis Heights and the rest of older Central Austin have been patched and re-roofed so many times that nobody is sure what is under the top layer anymore. Then you head out toward the master-planned streets in Northwest Austin and the homes get tall, complicated, and full of valleys. Some of the modern places around town run flat or metal instead of shingle. We read each one for what it actually is before we say a word about price.
Plenox runs out of Leander, so a job in Austin is a short drive down the highway, not a far-off contract a crew forgets about once the check clears. We wanted to do it the right way instead of trying to make a quick nickel off of homeowners, we wanted to build lasting relationships. That shows up on the roof. We strip it to the deck, deal with whatever the last roofer hid, and rebuild it as one system that keeps water out. Every roof leaves with a lifetime workmanship warranty and six years of weatherproofing we drive back out and do ourselves.
If your Austin roof is leaking, getting old, or took a beating the last time the sky turned green, we will come climb it and hand you a free roof quote with the work spelled out in plain words and the warranty on the page before you sign anything.

What we handle across the city
The roof is the whole assembly, decking and underlayment and vents and all, well past the shingles you see from the street. Here is the work we do for Austin homes and buildings, residential and commercial alike.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal that stands up to Central TX hail and lasts decades, installed clean and quiet over Austin homes.Shingle Roof Repair
Lifted tabs, a limb dropped by a live oak, a slow leak around a vent, fixed before it grows into a full tear-off.Storm Damage Roof Repair
After an Austin storm we get on the roof, document the hail and wind hits, and make it right.Gutter Replacement
New continuous gutters sized to move the heavy rain a Central TX downpour drops in a hurry.Roof Ventilation
Lomanco-certified attic ventilation so a new roof does not bake itself early in the Texas heat.Commercial Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs for storefronts, offices and buildings along the I-35 and MoPac corridors, scheduled around your hours.The neighborhoods we cover
Central Austin, the east side, South Austin below the river, North Austin out by the Domain, and the hill-country edges of Northwest Austin along the 360 and US-183 corridors, we get to all of it. A run into town from our Leander shop is short, and after a major storm we keep crews moving across the metro all week.
Austin is the capital of Texas and the seat of Travis County, where we cover the surrounding cities as well.
The weather that ages an Austin roof
Two things wear out roofs in this town: the spring hail and the summer sun. Austin sits in the stretch of Central Texas that catches the worst of the storm season, and the big hail events that roll through the metro most years are the number one reason a roof here gives up before the shingles would have worn out on their own. Hail rarely punches a clean hole you can spot from the yard. What it does is bruise the mat under the granules and shake the protective coating loose, so a roof that looked fine the morning after a storm slowly fails over the next year or two as the sun and the next rains finish it off. That is why we climb up and inspect properly instead of calling it from the curb, and why we photograph every hit while we are up there.
Then there are the trees. Austin’s live oaks are part of why people love the older neighborhoods, and they are also why we pull limbs and leaf dams off roofs all year. A heavy branch in a storm can crack decking; a clogged valley behind a big canopy holds water where it should be running off. We watch for both. And once the storms pass, the heat takes over. An Austin summer bakes a roof for months straight, and the attic below can run far hotter than the outside air when the airflow is wrong. That trapped heat cooks shingles from underneath and runs your cooling bill up, which is why we set the attic ventilation on every roof we build to our Lomanco-certified design. A new roof over a starved attic ages itself early, so we count ventilation as part of the job from the start.
A brand-new roof over a poorly vented attic still bakes itself early, so we treat ventilation as part of the roof system.
Plenox Solutions, Austin TXThe range of Austin homes is what keeps this work honest. A 1920s bungalow in Hyde Park can hide rotted decking and three layers of old roofing that a fair quote has to account for, while a tall house out in Northwest Austin needs a crew that can move safely across a steep, cut-up roofline. When a roof is genuinely past saving, a real replacement beats one more patch. We strip it to the decking, swap any wood the last roof let rot, lay fresh underlayment, and rebuild it as one system that sheds water for decades. Lighter damage gets a right-sized fix instead: our shingle repair crew handles spot work, and our storm damage team documents the hits for your insurance claim. We quote what the roof actually needs, never the priciest thing we could talk you into, and either way it ships with the lifetime workmanship warranty and the six years of weatherproofing we handle ourselves.
Being OSHA certified counts for more in a city this size than folks realize. A steep house in the hills or a tall building downtown is no place for a crew that gets loose with safety, and a roofer who cuts corners up top usually cuts them in the work too. We run every job clean from the harness setup down to the last seam, and we stand behind all of it. Want to see what a finished Plenox roof looks like?

Answers for Austin homeowners
What people in Austin ask us most, on cost, timing, and storm damage. If your question is not here, call (432) 288-5562 or use our contact page.
Do you cover all of Austin or just the suburbs?
We cover the whole city. Our shop is in Leander, so the North and Northwest Austin neighborhoods are closest, but we work Central Austin, South Austin and everything in between, from older homes around Hyde Park and Travis Heights to the newer builds near the Domain and along the 360 corridor. We also travel across TX for storm work.
How do I know if my Austin roof needs replacing or just a repair?
It comes down to how widespread the damage is and how many years the roof has on it. Localized damage on an otherwise sound roof is usually a repair. Shingles worn out edge to edge, or a hailstorm that bruised the whole surface, points to replacement. On the older Central Austin homes we also factor in what is hiding under those layers. We climb up, look it over, and tell you straight which one yours is, with photos so you can see it yourself.
Will insurance cover a storm-damaged roof in Austin?
Hail and wind damage around Austin is a covered claim under most policies, and given how often the metro gets hit, carriers see plenty of these. We document everything, meet your adjuster up on the roof, and make sure the approved scope matches what the storm really did instead of a quick look from the ground. We cannot tell you what your particular policy will pay, but we make certain your carrier sees the whole picture. Our storm damage page walks through the process.
What warranty comes with an Austin roof?
Every roof we replace carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, so the quality of the install is covered for as long as you own the home. On top of that we include six years of weatherproofing done annually, where we come back, check the seams and penetrations, and seal anything that has shifted before the next storm finds it.
How long does a roof replacement take in Austin?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to a few days once materials are on site, depending on the size and pitch of the roof and any deck repair needed. The bigger, steeper North and Northwest Austin homes can run longer. We give you a real timeline up front and keep you posted, instead of leaving you guessing after the deposit clears.
Do you do commercial roofs in Austin too?
Yes. We handle flat and low-slope roofs for Austin storefronts, offices, restaurants and buildings, and we schedule the work around your business so you stay open. See our commercial roofing page or call and tell us about the building.
