Metal Roof Replacement in Round Rock, TX
We replace worn, damaged, and storm-hit roofs across Round Rock — including shingle-to-metal upgrades. A replacement takes most homes three to five days, runs about $20,000 to $52,000 depending on size and material, and often qualifies for insurance help if a storm caused the damage. Financing is available. Call (737) 320-3400 for a free inspection.
Why are so many Round Rock roofs coming due at once?
Because of when this town was built. Teravista broke ground in 2001 and has grown past 3,400 homes. Behrens Ranch and the rest of the master-planned neighborhoods northeast of I-35 filled in over roughly the same stretch, and Forest Creek to the southeast was established earlier still. An asphalt shingle roof in Central Texas heat realistically gives you 20 to 25 years.
Do the arithmetic and a very large number of Round Rock homes are on their original roof, at or past the end of its service life, in a town that has taken three damaging hailstorms since September 2023. That is not a sales pitch — it is just what happens when a subdivision goes up all at once and then ages all at once. If your house dates from the first Teravista phases and still has the roof it was built with, it is worth having somebody look at it.

Do I need a replacement or just a repair?
Honestly, a lot of roofs we look at need a repair, not a replacement — and we'll tell you when that's the case. Replacement makes sense when the problem is the whole system rather than one spot:
| Sign | Why it points to replacement |
|---|---|
| Your roof is near the end of its life | Asphalt at 20+ years or a metal roof past 40 is usually better replaced than patched. |
| Widespread storm or hail damage | When damage spans the whole roof rather than one slope, replacement is often the insurance-approved path. |
| Leaks in multiple locations | One leak is a repair. Leaks showing up in different places usually signal a system at the end of its service life. |
| Failing decking or sagging | Soft spots or visible sagging mean water has been getting in for a while — that needs the roof off to fix properly. |
| You are already re-roofing | If the roof has to come off anyway, upgrading to metal costs less than doing it as a separate project later. |
If it's a single leak or a handful of loose fasteners on a roof with life left in it, that's a repair. See our repair services.
What does the replacement process look like?
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Free inspection | We measure your roof, check the decking and ventilation, and confirm whether replacement is actually the right call. |
| 2. Written proposal | You get the system, panel gauge, underlayment, color, warranty terms, and price in writing — not a number scribbled on a card. |
| 3. Scheduling and materials | Round Rock does not require a permit for a residential re-roof, so we go straight to ordering materials and setting a start date. Most jobs begin within a few weeks of signing. |
| 4. Tear-off and deck repair | The old roof comes off and the decking underneath gets inspected. Any rot or damage is repaired before anything new goes down. |
| 5. Underlayment and metal | High-temp underlayment goes down, then panels, flashing, trim, ridge, and eave details per the manufacturer spec. |
| 6. Cleanup and final walkthrough | Magnetic sweep for nails and screws, debris hauled off, and a walkthrough so you can see the finished work. |
Should I upgrade from shingles to metal?
If you're replacing anyway, it's the natural moment to consider it. The tear-off and the labor happen either way — the difference is the material and the crew's time. Round Rock does not require a permit for a straight residential re-roof, so that is not a factor in the decision here either. Going metal means you likely never do this again: 40 to 70 years instead of 20 to 25, a Class 4 hail rating that matters in Central Texas, a possible 15–40% insurance discount, and lower cooling bills.
It does cost more upfront — typically two to three times asphalt. Whether that math works depends mostly on how long you plan to stay. Past about ten years, metal usually comes out ahead. Compare the numbers in our cost guide.
Which metal system should I choose?
- Standing seam — longest life, no exposed fasteners, best for solar. The premium pick.
- Stone-coated steel — traditional shingle or tile look. Usually the answer when an HOA restricts metal's appearance.
- Metal shingles — a crisp, conventional roofline at a mid-range price.
- R-panel — the budget option, best suited to outbuildings and simple roofs.
Will insurance cover my replacement?
Often, if storm damage is the cause. In Texas you have two years from the storm date to file, and most policies carry a separate wind-and-hail deductible of about 1–2% of your home's insured value. We provide documented inspections for your insurer and can meet your adjuster on-site — though no honest roofer can promise how a carrier will rule. See the full claim guide.
Replacement FAQs
How long does a metal roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements take three to five days. Complex roofs with multiple dormers, steep pitches, or significant decking repairs can run seven to ten days. Weather can push the schedule.
Do I have to remove my old shingles first?
We generally recommend a full tear-off. Some codes allow installing over one existing layer, but most manufacturers require a clean deck for warranty coverage, and tearing off lets us find and repair decking problems hiding underneath.
Will insurance pay to replace my roof with metal?
If storm damage triggered the claim, your policy generally covers replacing what you had. If you are upgrading from shingles to metal, insurance typically pays the cost to replace the shingles and you cover the upgrade difference. Your policy language controls.
See our hail and insurance guide →Can I stay in my home during the replacement?
Yes. It is noisy during working hours and you will want to move vehicles clear of the driveway, but there is no reason to leave. We keep the site clean and secure at the end of each day.
What happens if you find rotted decking?
We show you the damage, explain what it will take to fix, and price it before proceeding. Decking repair is the most common change order on a re-roof — an honest contractor flags it rather than covering it up.
