Why Choose WDR for Your Roof Installation
WDR is one of a small number of Austin roofers who install to full manufacturer specification on every job, with credentials to back it up. GAF Master Elite certification places us in the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide, a status that requires ongoing training, insurance requirements above industry standard, and a documented track record of proper installations. Our crews are W-2 employees, not subcontracted day labor, which means the same team you meet at your estimate is the team on your roof. We are fully insured and carry the manufacturer partnerships needed to offer the GAF Golden Pledge extended warranty on qualifying installations. Combined with 25+ years of combined team experience, a BBB A+ rating, and 1,510+ five-star reviews from Austin-area homeowners across Central Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Buda, and Bee Cave, our installation work is built on repeat performance rather than promotional promises.
The WDR Roof Installation Process
Every WDR installation starts with a free onsite professional roof inspection where our team evaluates your existing roof deck, ventilation, flashing, and any structural concerns that could affect the new install. We walk you through material options based on your budget, home style, and long-term goals, and provide a written estimate with no obligation. Once you approve, we pull the required City of Austin (or applicable municipality) permits on your behalf and schedule around your calendar and the Central Texas weather forecast. On install day, our GAF Master Elite crews protect your property with tarps and plywood, tear off the existing roof if needed, and install new underlayment, flashing, and roofing system to full manufacturer specification. Every project ends with a final walkthrough, magnetic sweep of the yard for stray nails, and registration of your manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Roofing Materials We Install in Austin”
WDR installs the full range of residential and commercial roofing materials used in the Austin market. Each material has its own installation requirements, cost profile, and best-fit applications. Our dedicated pages walk through each material in detail.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
The most common Austin residential roofing material, available in 3-tab economy, architectural, and luxury designer tiers with Class 4 impact-rated options for Austin hail exposure. See our asphalt shingle installation services for tier comparisons, GAF product lines, and hail-rated shingle options.
Tile Roof Installation
Clay and concrete tile installations for homes styled to match the Spanish, Mediterranean, and Southwest aesthetic common in Zilker, Barton Hills, and Tarrytown. Our tile roof installation services page covers weight loading, underlayment systems, and Austin cost premiums.
Metal Roofing Systems
Standing seam, snap lock, exposed fastener, and flat seam systems for residential and commercial applications, with excellent longevity for the Central Texas climate. See our Austin metal roofing page for full material and finish options.
Shingle Roof Systems
Broader shingle installation coverage including brand comparisons (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed), wind ratings for Austin’s storm season, and impact rating decision guidance on our shingle roof installation services page.
TPO Commercial Roofing
TPO membrane installations for commercial buildings, warehouses, and Austin modernist homes with flat or low-slope sections. Our TPO installation page covers seam welding, warranty tiers, and UV reflectivity benefits for Texas summers.
New Construction Roofing
For homeowners planning a complete tear-off and new install, or contractors specifying roofing on new builds, our new construction roofing page covers permitting, structural considerations, and the full replacement decision framework.
Manufacturer Warranties and Workmanship Coverage
Every WDR installation includes two layers of warranty protection. The manufacturer provides coverage on the roofing product itself, typically ranging from 25 years on entry-tier asphalt shingles to 50+ years on tile, standing seam metal, and premium designer shingles. As a GAF Master Elite contractor (top 2% of GAF contractors nationwide), we can offer the GAF Golden Pledge extended warranty on qualifying installations, a warranty tier that most Austin roofers cannot access due to the certification requirement. Every installation also carries our WDR workmanship warranty covering the installation labor and craftsmanship. Combined with our fully insured status and 1,510+ five-star reviews since 2012, this warranty coverage represents a substantially stronger position than the industry standard for Austin roofers.
Storm Damage and Insurance Installation Work
A significant portion of WDR’s installation work follows Central Texas storm damage: hail, wind, or debris impact that qualifies for insurance coverage. Our team handles the insurance process alongside the installation, documenting damage during the initial inspection, meeting with your adjuster onsite if requested, and providing the detailed replacement scope and pricing carriers require. Texas law protects your right to choose your own contractor regardless of what your insurance company suggests, and WDR advocates for fair coverage of the full replacement scope needed to bring your roof back to code and manufacturer specification. If your storm damage claim has been denied or under-approved, our team can review the paperwork and identify next steps. For non-storm situations that need immediate attention, our roof repair work and full roof replacement pages cover options if a full new installation isn’t the right fit yet.

Cost of Roof Installation in Austin
Roof installation costs in Austin depend on roof size, material choice, tear-off requirements, and any structural repairs discovered during the inspection. Standard asphalt shingle installations for a typical Austin home range from $8,000 to $15,000, with pricing driven by shingle tier (3-tab vs architectural vs luxury designer) and the complexity of the tear-off. Metal roofing installations, tile roofing, and premium designer shingle systems typically run $18,000 to $35,000 or more depending on material grade and roof complexity. Commercial TPO membrane installations are quoted separately based on square footage, existing deck condition, and warranty tier. Every WDR quote is custom, written, and free. No pressure calls, no on-the-spot high-pressure sales tactics. Insurance-covered installations follow their own approval process, and we work directly with your carrier to align pricing with the approved claim scope.
