Roofing out in the Lost Pines
Cedar Creek is the kind of place where a roof has room to breathe and a lot of sky to answer to. The community sits east of Austin along SH-21, tucked into the Lost Pines between the airport corridor and Bastrop, and most of what stands out here is acreage homes on big lots with metal barns, shops and porches that all need to shed water. The weather does not care that it is rural. Spring storm cells track right across this part of Bastrop County, drop hail, and then the hard Texas sun takes over for a long stretch. A roof in Cedar Creek has to carry all of that, season after season, often a good drive from the nearest neighbor who could spot a problem for you.
We run our crews out from Leander, and Cedar Creek is well inside the territory we cover. Our founder put it plainly: 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. On the ground that means every roof we replace comes off down to the decking, any wood the old roof rotted gets pulled and rebuilt, and then new underlayment and shingles go on as one tight system. It is slower than a cover-over, and out here on a steep acreage roof it is more work, but it is the only version that holds for the long haul.
If your Cedar Creek home took a storm hit, sprung a leak, or is just aging out, we will drive out, get on the roof, and hand you a free roof quote with the work and the warranty written in plain language before a single thing gets signed.

What we handle on a Cedar Creek roof
A roof on an acreage property is a whole system, and out here it often covers more square footage than a roof in town. These are the jobs we take on for Cedar Creek homes, barns and buildings across Bastrop County.

Lomanco-certified attic ventilation so the long Lost Pines summer does not cook your new roof from underneath.Commercial Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs for the shops and businesses along SH-71 and SH-21, scheduled around your hours so you stay open.The Cedar Creek area we cover
Cedar Creek is an unincorporated community in western Bastrop County, the stretch where Austin keeps spreading east toward the river. We work the whole area: the homes off SH-21 and SH-71, the acreage lots backing up to McKinney Roughs Nature Park, and the properties scattered deeper into the pines toward Bastrop. From our Leander shop it is a straight run down past the ABIA airport corridor, so this is a regular drive for us, not a once-a-year trip.
Cedar Creek falls inside Bastrop County, and we serve the surrounding communities across that side of the metro as well.
The weather a Lost Pines roof has to take
Three things wear out roofs in this part of Bastrop County, and the first is hail. The spring storm cells that track across the Austin metro toward the river drop hail and straight-line wind on Cedar Creek most years, and the worst of it does its damage without leaving a mark you can spot from the driveway. Hail bruises the mat under the granules, knocks the protective coating loose, and a roof that looked fine the morning after starts shedding water into the decking over the next year or two. Out here, where the next house might be a quarter mile off, nobody is going to flag a slipping shingle for you. That is why we get up on every Cedar Creek roof and walk it section by section, so the full record of what a storm did is on paper before anybody talks about repair or replacement.
The second is the sun. A Cedar Creek summer runs long and hot, and a roof bakes for months while the attic underneath it climbs far past the outside air if the ventilation is undersized. That heat ages shingles from below and pushes cooling bills up at the same time. We set Lomanco-certified ventilation on every roof we build in Cedar Creek, because a new roof over a stifling attic is a roof that fails early, and we are not interested in selling that twice. The third thing is the pines themselves. This is the country the 2011 Bastrop fires ran through, so wildfire is a real consideration here, and the materials and details we choose factor that in alongside the hail and the heat.
We set Lomanco-certified ventilation on every roof we build in Cedar Creek, treating it as part of the roofing system, not an afterthought.
Plenox Solutions, Cedar Creek roofingWhen a roof out here is past saving, a patch will not buy you much. We do a real replacement: the old roof comes off to the decking, rotted wood gets pulled and rebuilt, fresh underlayment goes down, and the new shingles go on as one weather-tight system meant to last. When the damage is limited, our shingle repair crew handles the spot work and our storm damage team documents the hits for your insurance. Either way the finished roof carries the lifetime workmanship warranty and the six years of annual weatherproofing we come back and perform ourselves. If your Cedar Creek home needs a roof looked at, a repair priced, or a full replacement quoted, reach us through the contact page and we will drive out and take a proper look.
Questions from Cedar Creek homeowners
Plain answers for folks out in Bastrop County on timing, cost, insurance and storm work. Not seeing yours? Call (432) 288-5562 or use our contact page.
Is Cedar Creek too far out for you to work?
Not at all. We run our crews from Leander, and Cedar Creek is a straight shot down past the ABIA airport corridor into western Bastrop County. The acreage homes off SH-21 and SH-71, the properties out near McKinney Roughs, the lots deeper in the pines toward Bastrop, all of it is inside our regular service area. After a major storm we widen our coverage further across the metro.
My Cedar Creek roof took a hit. Repair or replace?
That comes down to how much of the roof the storm reached and how much life the shingles had left. If the damage sits in one section and the rest is sound, a repair is the honest call. If hail bruised the whole surface or the shingles were already worn out, replacement is what we recommend. We get on the roof first, walk it, and show you the photos so you are deciding from the same picture we are.
Will homeowner insurance cover hail damage out here?
In most cases hail and wind damage is a covered loss on a standard policy. We document everything thoroughly and will meet your adjuster on the roof so the approved scope reflects what the storm actually did, which matters a lot on the larger roofs common in Cedar Creek. We cannot promise what your individual policy pays, but we make sure the carrier sees the full picture. Our storm damage page walks through how it works.
What is covered by your warranty on a new Cedar Creek 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 property. We also build in six years of weatherproofing: once a year we come back, check the seams, penetrations and flashings, and seal anything that has shifted before the next storm season finds it.
How many days does a roof replacement take in Cedar Creek?
Most homes are done in one to a few days once the materials are staged. The larger roofs on acreage properties out here can run a bit longer, and the timeline also depends on pitch and how much deck repair the old roof was hiding. We give you a real schedule before we start and keep you posted each day, so you are never left guessing once the crew is on site.
Do you take on commercial roofs in the Cedar Creek area?
Yes. We handle flat and low-slope roofs for the shops, storefronts and buildings along SH-71 and SH-21 and throughout Bastrop County. We plan the work around your operating hours so the doors stay open through the project. See our commercial roofing page or call and tell us about the building.
