Your asphalt shingle roof estimate
Estimates only, not quotes. Takes about a minute.
Asphalt architectural shingles are the default roof in Austin subdivisions. They are the lowest cost full replacement, handle hail moderately, and meet most HOA requirements.
Price is driven by roof size in squares, pitch, tear-off layers, and whether decking needs replacement after storm damage. Final price depends on size, access, and condition found on site.

What drives the price in Austin
- Hail: Travis and Williamson County hail is the top replacement trigger. Document hail damage vs wear, and follow insurance claim steps. Do not promise claim approval.
- Heat and UV: dark shingles age faster in Texas sun. Poor attic ventilation voids many shingle warranties. Algae and ventilation matter here.
- HOA color and material rules in planned communities (Circle C, Steiner Ranch, Mueller). Get HOA approval in writing first.
Permit and code note
City of Austin: roofing work may require a permit depending on scope and whether structural decking is replaced. Many residential re-roofs proceed under contractor registration, but confirm current City and HOA rules before tear-off. Keep photos of decking condition for insurance if hail is involved.
Austin example
Example: a 1,950 sq ft home in 78748 with architectural shingles and one layer tear-off typically lands near $15,400.
Frequently asked questions
3-tab vs architectural vs Class 4?
Architectural shingles are thicker, last longer, and cost more than 3-tab. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add about 20 percent and hold up better in hail.
Will insurance pay for a hail roof?
If hail damaged the roof, a claim may cover replacement minus your deductible. Document damage with photos. Approval is never guaranteed.
How long does a shingle roof take?
Most single-family homes take 1 to 2 days for tear-off and install. Decking replacement or bad weather adds time.
