A lakeside town is hard on a roof
Marble Falls is the county seat of Burnet County, perched right above Lake Marble Falls where the Colorado River widens into the Highland Lakes chain. That setting gives the town its charm and gives the roofs here a tougher job than most. Sun comes off the water and bounces back up onto south-facing slopes, the granite hills around town hold heat into the evening, and the lake corridor funnels wind across rooftops that sit out in the open. Whether you own a lake house down near the water or a place up in the older part of town, the roof has to be built as a full system instead of shingles laid over bare decking.
We run our roofing crews out of Leander, about an hour east on the way to Austin. Marble Falls is a regular stop for us, not a town we only show up in once a hailstorm makes the news. 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 a replacement here starts at the deck, deals with whatever the last roof papered over, and goes back together weather-tight. Every roof we finish carries a lifetime workmanship warranty and six years of annual weatherproofing that we come back and handle ourselves.
If your roof is leaking, getting up there in age, or took a beating in the last round of Hill Country weather, call us or use our free roof quote page. We will drive out, get up on the roof, and put a clear number in writing with nothing owed for the look.

The work we handle around the Highland Lakes
Full replacements make up most of our days, but a roof is a whole system and we work on every part of it. Here is what we take on for homes and buildings in Marble Falls and the lake towns around it.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal that shrugs off Hill Country hail and years of reflected lake sun, a favorite on lake homes wanting a clean line and a long life.Shingle Roof Repair
Torn tabs, shingles lifted by lake-corridor wind and active leaks patched before one wet spot grows into a whole tear-off.Storm Damage Roof Repair
After a spring cell rolls over the lake we get on the roof, mark every hail bruise and wind hit for your claim, and put it back right.Gutter Replacement
Seamless gutters sized for the flash-flood rains the Colorado River basin can dump in an afternoon, moving water off before it backs up under the eaves.Roof Ventilation
Lomanco-certified attic ventilation so a new roof breathes through a long, hot Highland Lakes summer instead of cooking itself early.Commercial Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs for the retail and restaurant buildings that make Marble Falls the shopping hub of the Highland Lakes, scheduled around your hours.From the lakefront to US-281
Our crews cover the lakefront streets along Lake Marble Falls, the older blocks downtown near the granite courthouse, and the newer subdivisions stretching out along US-281 and SH-71 toward Granite Shoals and Horseshoe Bay. If it has a roof inside the city or out across the rest of the county, we work on it.
Marble Falls is the county seat of Burnet County, where we serve several nearby Highland Lakes towns and communities.
The weather a lake roof has to outlast
Living over the water near Granite Mountain, the same hill that gave up the pink granite for the Texas Capitol, comes with a roof workload that surprises a lot of newcomers. The Highland Lakes summer is long and bright, and rooftops sit in it for months while the attic underneath climbs far past the air outside when the venting is not right. On a lakeside lot the glare bouncing off the water adds to it, so south and west slopes age faster than people expect. Heat works a roof from both directions, loosens the sealant strips holding the shingles down, and runs cooling bills up in homes that should stay easy to keep cool. A roof out here has to keep shedding water for years after the summer breaks, and that comes down to building it right the first time and setting the attic up to breathe.
The harder hit usually arrives in a single afternoon. Spring storm cells track right up the lake corridor, and the Hill Country stretch from Burnet County south is hail country, big enough that most owners around the lakes have filed a claim or watched a neighbor file one. The catch with hail is that it rarely leaves a clean hole. It bruises the mat under the granules, knocks the protective coating loose, and leaves a roof that looks fine from the dock while it quietly gives way over the next year or two as sun and rain finish what the storm started. That is why we climb up and read the roof closely instead of calling it good from the yard.
We climb up and read the whole roof before we say a word about a quote.
Plenox Solutions, Marble Falls roofingWhen a Marble Falls roof is past saving, a real replacement beats one more patch. We strip the old roof to the decking, swap out any wood the last roof let go soft, lay fresh underlayment, and build it back as one weather-tight system. Lighter damage gets the right-sized fix instead: our shingle repair crew handles spot work and live leaks, while our storm damage team marks every hit for your insurance and pushes to make sure the approved scope covers what the storm really did. We quote the work the roof needs, not the priciest line we could write, and it all carries the lifetime workmanship warranty and the six years of weatherproofing we do ourselves.

Is it worth bringing a Leander roofer all the way out to the lake?
It is, because Marble Falls is a regular run for us, not a one-time haul. Leander is our home base, but the lake towns are part of the territory we cover week in and week out. We work the whole area, Horseshoe Bay, Granite Shoals, Burnet, and the rest of Burnet County, and we travel across Central TX when a big storm hits. You get a crew that knows the drive and the weather here.
Why does my lakeside roof seem to wear out faster?
Two things stack up on a lake lot. The Highland Lakes summer sun ages the shingles from the top, and on lakefront slopes the glare off the water adds to it, while a poorly vented attic bakes them from underneath. A roof running hot inside loses granules sooner, lets sealant loosen, and drives your cooling bills up. We build attic ventilation to our Lomanco-certified design on every roof so it manages that heat from day one.
Does insurance pick up Hill Country hail damage?
Most standard homeowner policies cover hail and wind, and the spring cells that track up the lake corridor are exactly that. We get on the roof and document the damage, meet your adjuster during the inspection, and push to make sure the approved scope matches what the storm actually did. We cannot promise what any one policy pays, but we make sure the carrier has the full picture before the claim closes. See our storm damage page for how it goes.
What goes into a full Marble Falls roof replacement?
We strip the old roof to the decking, replace any wood that has gone rotted or soft, install fresh underlayment, and rebuild the whole thing as one system. Every replacement carries our lifetime workmanship warranty, and we come back for six years of annual weatherproofing where we check and reseal the seams and penetrations before each storm season rolls in.
How many days will my roof take?
Most homes finish in one to a few days once the materials land on site. The size and pitch of the roof and any deck repairs we turn up underneath move the timeline. We hand you a real schedule up front and keep you posted as we go, so you are never left guessing once the crew starts.
Can you handle the retail and restaurant buildings in town?
Yes. Marble Falls is the shopping hub of the Highland Lakes, and we work plenty of flat and low-slope roofs on the storefronts, offices, and restaurants that come with that. We schedule around your business hours so you stay open through the job. Call us or visit our commercial roofing page and tell us about the building.
