Clarksville Roofing by Austin Roofing Company & Water Damage | WDR

Yes, we serve the full Clarksville neighborhood, including the Clarksville National Register Historic District that covers most of the neighborhood between West Lynn and MoPac from 10th Street to Enfield Road. Our crews work throughout Clarksville. As a GAF Master Elite Contractor based in Austin, we’ve served Clarksville homeowners since 2012 with fully insured W-2 crews.

Clarksville’s National Register listing recognizes the neighborhood’s historic significance as one of Austin’s oldest freedmen’s communities founded in 1871. National Register status does not by itself impose material restrictions on private property, but many Clarksville homes are also individually landmarked or fall within overlapping Local Historic District designations that DO require Historic Landmark Commission review for exterior changes including roofing. We verify each property’s designation status before starting work.

Clarksville’s housing stock includes 19th-century wood-frame cottages, early 20th-century bungalows, and 1930s-40s Craftsman homes. For historically appropriate replacements we often recommend high-profile architectural asphalt shingles that mimic wood shake, standing seam metal in traditional profiles, or specialty slate-look products for landmarked properties requiring closer historical accuracy. We match material to the specific property’s era and any commission requirements.

Yes, we handle the full submission process for Historic Landmark Commission approvals when required. For landmarked or Local Historic District Clarksville properties, we prepare the material samples, color chips, product specification sheets, and photographs of proposed work. Review timelines typically run 4 to 8 weeks for Historic Landmark Commission action, and we build that timeline into every landmarked project schedule and won’t begin work until approval is in hand.

Clarksville’s older homes commonly have original wood decking, complex roof geometries with additions built across decades, and structural quirks that require careful assessment before a tear-off. Original decking sometimes needs partial replacement due to age or prior water damage. Additions from different eras may have mismatched pitches, valleys, and drainage patterns that need to be addressed as part of a full replacement. We inspect each Clarksville property thoroughly before scoping the work.
