A roofer who knows the Gateway to the Hill Country
Dripping Springs is its own kind of roofing job. This is the Gateway to the Hill Country, where a wide-open ranch on twenty acres can sit a few minutes from a brand new subdivision off US-290, and the two need very different roofs. The big metal roofs on the modern and ranch-style homes out here, the cedar and oak that drop limbs on a shingle roof every season, the way the sun sits on the Edwards Plateau all summer: it all adds up to a roof that wears differently than one in town. We have spent enough time on Dripping Springs roofs to know what fails first and why.
We run this company out of Leander, and a straight shot down US-290 puts Dripping Springs squarely inside the area our crews cover every week across Hays County. 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, so when we replace a roof here we strip it to the deck, fix any rotten or storm-bruised sheathing underneath, and put it back together as one weatherproof system instead of a fast cover-up. Every roof leaves with a lifetime workmanship warranty and six years of weatherproofing that we drive back out to handle ourselves.
Whether yours is an older home off RR 12, a place out on acreage toward Henly, or one of the newer builds spreading south, we will come look at it. If your roof is leaking, getting up in years, or took a beating in the last Hill Country storm, we get on it, walk it, and hand you a free roof quote with the scope and the warranty written out before you ever sign anything.

What we put on Dripping Springs roofs
Out here we do a lot of metal on the ranch and Hill Country homes, but a roof is one connected system from deck to gutter. These are the jobs we handle for Dripping Springs houses, acreage, and buildings, residential and commercial alike.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal is the go-to out here on ranch and modern Hill Country homes. It shrugs off hail and lasts decades, installed clean on any pitch.Shingle Repair
Missing tabs, lifted shingles, and small leaks caught early, before a limb strike or a slow drip turns into a full tear-off.Storm Damage Roof Repair
After a Hill Country hail or wind event, we document every hit on the roof and restore it properly, working straight with your insurance.Gutter Replacement
Continuous gutters sized to carry off the fast, heavy rain that fills the Hill Country creeks and canyons in a hurry.Roof Ventilation
Lomanco-certified attic ventilation so a new roof does not cook itself early under the open plateau sun.Commercial Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs for the wineries, tasting rooms, event venues, and Mercer Street shops, scheduled around your hours.The Dripping Springs areas we cover
From the homes along RR 12 and the older streets near downtown Mercer Street out to the acreage toward Henly and the new growth pushing south, Dripping Springs is a clean run west on US-290 from our Leander shop. We cover the whole city, the ranch land around it, and the rest of Hays County, with crews on the road across TX when a big storm hits.
Dripping Springs sits in Hays County, where we also roof for nearby towns across the Hill Country.
The weather that wears out a Hill Country roof
Roofs in Dripping Springs take a beating from three directions, and each one does its own kind of damage. The first is spring hail and wind. Storm cells build along the Edwards Plateau and roll through the Hill Country every season, and the trouble with hail out here is that it almost never leaves a hole you can spot from the driveway. It bruises the shingle mat and knocks the granules loose, so a roof can look fine after a storm and then quietly give way over the next year or two once the plateau sun and the next round of rain finish the job. That is exactly why we climb up and inspect a roof the right way instead of guessing from the ground with binoculars.
The second is the sun itself. Up on the open plateau there is not much shade, and a Dripping Springs summer bakes a roof for months straight. The attic underneath can run far hotter than the outside air when the ventilation is undersized, which ages shingles from the inside out and runs your cooling bills up all year. We set the attic ventilation on every roof we build to our Lomanco-certified design because a solid roof over a starved attic still fails early. The third is water. When the heavy rains come, they come fast, and the creeks and canyons that cut through this country flash flood in a hurry, so the gutters and flashing have to be sized and sealed to move real volume. See our roof ventilation page for how the airflow side works and our project gallery for finished roofs around the area. If you think the last storm got you, our contact page is the quickest way to get us out for a look.
A solid roof over a starved attic still fails early. Out on the plateau, ventilation is part of the roof, not an add-on.

Do you drive all the way out to Dripping Springs, or only the towns near Austin?
We roof all over Dripping Springs and the surrounding acreage. Our shop is in Leander and US-290 runs us straight in, so Dripping Springs is part of our regular Hays County route along with Buda and Kyle. For a big storm we put crews on the road across TX.
Should I put metal or shingles on my Dripping Springs home?
It comes down to the house and the budget. Standing-seam metal is popular on the ranch and modern Hill Country homes out here because it handles hail well and runs for decades, and it sheds the fast rain the plateau drops. Architectural shingle is a strong, lower-cost choice that still holds up if it is installed and vented right. We will walk your roof, talk through both, and quote whichever one actually fits, not the one that pads the bill.
Does my Dripping Springs roof need a full replacement or just a repair?
That comes down to age and how far the damage runs. One bad spot with the rest of the roof still sound is usually a repair. Hail bruising across the whole surface, or shingles worn thin from years of plateau sun, points to a replacement. We get on the roof, look it over, and show you photos so you can see exactly what we are looking at before you decide.
Will my insurance pay for hail damage out here in Hays County?
Hail and wind are usually a covered loss on a standard homeowner policy. We document every hit, meet your adjuster up on the roof, and make sure the approved scope matches what the storm actually did to the shingles and flashing. We cannot promise what your policy pays, but we make sure the carrier sees the whole story. Our storm damage page walks through the process.
What backs a new roof from Plenox in Dripping Springs?
Every roof we replace carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, so our install is covered for as long as you own the place. On top of that we include six years of weatherproofing done annually: we drive back out each year, check the seams and penetrations, and reseal anything that has shifted before the next storm finds it.
How long will my Dripping Springs roof take, and do you do commercial buildings?
Most homes run one to a few days once the materials are on site, depending on size, pitch, and how much deck repair the old roof was hiding. You get a real timeline before we start and updates the whole way through, not silence after the deposit clears. And yes, we also install and repair flat and low-slope roofs for the wineries, venues, and shops in the area: see our commercial roofing page.
