Choosing the Right Roofing Company in Austin, TX

Choosing the right roofing company in Austin means verifying certifications, insurance, and reviews before you sign anything. WDR holds GAF Master Elite status, BBB A+ accreditation, and 1,200+ five-star reviews after 25 years serving Central Texas homeowners and businesses.

Austin homeowners face a real problem when their roof needs work. Storm chasers flood the market after every hailstorm. Out-of-state companies park trailers in your neighborhood and disappear within 90 days. Some local outfits subcontract every job to crews you’ve never met. Picking the wrong company can mean leaks, warranty denials, and tens of thousands of dollars in repairs you shouldn’t have needed.

We built WDR to solve that problem. Since 2012, we’ve been the local Austin roofing company homeowners turn to for work done right the first time. Our crews are W-2 employees, not subcontractors. We carry full Texas commercial insurance. We provide free written estimates with no pressure and no fine print.

Whether you need emergency repair, a full replacement, or just a second opinion on another company’s bid, the Austin roofing team at WDR brings 25+ years of Central Texas experience to every job. Read about the team behind WDR and what makes us different from the rest of Austin’s roofing companies.

Roof Repair

Storms, age, and Texas heat create constant repair needs. Our team handles expert roof repair for everything from missing shingles after a windstorm to flashing leaks around chimneys and skylights. We diagnose the root cause, not just the visible symptom, so the same leak doesn’t recur in the next storm season.

Roof Replacement

When repairs no longer make sense, we provide complete tear-off and replacement using premium materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. Most replacements take 1–3 days. We handle the tear-off, dispose of debris, and walk you through warranty paperwork before we leave.

Roof Inspection

Our free roof inspections protect you in three situations: after a storm, before listing your home for sale, or before buying a property. We provide written reports with photos so you have documentation for insurance, real estate, or your own records.

Hail Damage Roofing

Central Texas sits in Hail Alley. We provide a thorough hail damage assessment after every storm, document the damage in detail, meet with your insurance adjuster, and advocate for fair coverage. We’ve helped hundreds of Austin homeowners through the claims process.

Specialty Roofing Materials

Not every roofing company can handle the variety of materials Austin homes use. We install and repair:

  • Metal roof options include standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingles
  • Asphalt shingles, including architectural and impact-resistant Class 4 options
  • Tile and slate
  • Flat and low-slope commercial systems

Commercial Roofing

Our Austin commercial roofing team covers TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal roofing systems for businesses across the metro area. We work around your operating hours so your crew or customers don’t lose access to the building.

GAF Master Elite® Contractor. Only 2% of roofing contractors in North America earn this certification. It can’t be bought, only earned. It also lets us offer extended manufacturer warranties that most companies can’t.

BBB A+ accreditation. Verified by the Better Business Bureau. We’ve maintained this rating throughout our history.

Fully insured with Texas commercial coverage. Workers’ compensation, general liability, and commercial auto. We carry the policies that protect your home if something goes wrong on the job.

W-2 crews, not subcontractors. The crew that shows up at your door works for us. We train them. We’re responsible for their work. There’s no point in pointing fingers at a third party when something needs to be fixed.

24/7 emergency response. Storms don’t wait for business hours. Neither do we. After major weather events, we’re often on-site within hours.

When you’re picking between Austin roofing companies, these are the markers that separate the real ones from the rest.

Where We Serve Across the Austin Metro

We’ve completed roofing projects in every corner of the Austin area. Our central Austin office at 9711 Beck Cir lets us reach most jobs within 30 minutes.

Austin Proper. From historic homes in Hyde Park and Tarrytown to new construction in Mueller and East Austin, we know how Austin’s diverse housing stock ages and what each style needs.

Hill Country West. This corridor includes Lakeway, Texas roofing, Bee Cave roofers, West Lake Hills, and Dripping Springs. The Hill Country comes with steep terrain, custom architecture, and HOA requirements that demand experienced crews.

Storms hit the Hill Country first and hardest, so we prioritize emergency calls from this area. Our team handles roofing in Dripping Springs and across the entire western corridor 24/7.

North Suburbs. Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Hutto, Georgetown, and Leander are among the fastest-growing communities in Texas. We’ve worked with builders, HOAs, and homeowners across all of them.

South Suburbs. Buda, Kyle, and Manor round out our service area to the south and east.

We don’t farm jobs out to crews in cities we don’t know. Every Austin roofing company claims to serve “all of Central Texas.” We actually do, with W-2 crews dispatched from one location.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right roofing company in Austin?

Look for these markers: 10+ years in business at the same address, GAF Master Elite or equivalent certification, BBB A+ rating, verifiable five-star reviews in real volume of 300 or more, W-2 crews instead of subcontractors, and full Texas commercial insurance coverage. Avoid any company that only knocks on doors after storms or operates from out of state.

What certifications should an Austin roofer have?

GAF Master Elite is the gold standard for asphalt shingle work, held by only 2% of contractors. CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster is a strong alternative. For metal roofing, look for manufacturer certifications from companies like McElroy or ATAS. Check that the company carries workers’ compensation, general liability, and commercial auto insurance.

How long has WDR been serving Austin homeowners?

Since 2012. We’re a locally owned and operated Austin roofing company with our office at 9711 Beck Cir. Our 1,200+ five-star Google reviews come from a quarter-century of work across Central Texas, not from a recent marketing push.

Do Austin roofing companies handle insurance claims?

Quality companies handle the documentation, meet with your adjuster, and advocate for fair coverage. They shouldn’t pressure you into signing contingency agreements before the claim is settled. Texas law gives you the right to choose your own contractor regardless of what the insurance company suggests. We provide claim support as part of our standard service.

How quickly can a roofing company respond after a storm in Austin?

A real local company should be on-site within 24 hours for emergency tarping, even faster for active leaks. We provide 24/7 emergency response across Austin and the Hill Country. Be cautious of companies promising same-day service, only to disappear for weeks. That’s a warning sign.

What's the difference between a roofing contractor and a roofing company?

“Roofing contractor” usually refers to an individual tradesperson. “Roofing company” is the business entity that employs contractors and crews. Texas doesn’t require state-level licensing for roofing contractors, which makes verifying credentials, insurance, and certifications even more important.

Are roof estimates free with most Austin roofing companies?

Reputable Austin roofing companies offer free, no-obligation roof estimates. Be skeptical of companies that charge for inspections or estimates, especially after storms. We provide free written estimates and inspection reports for all Austin and Central Texas homeowners.
