Affordable Roof Replacement in Austin, TX

For a standard 1,500 to 2,500 square foot residential home in our service markets, architectural shingle replacement runs $9,500 to $16,000 installed with all code-required components. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles run $12,000 to $19,000 and may qualify for a homeowner's insurance premium discount. Standing seam metal runs $18,000 to $28,000 depending on roof complexity. We provide itemized estimates so you can see exactly what drives the number on your specific project.

We attend the adjuster inspection with our own measurements and damage documentation, compare the adjuster's estimate line by line against our scope, and submit a detailed supplement for any discrepancies — missing line items, incorrect material pricing, excluded code-upgrade costs. We also track your claim through the RCV recovery process, ensuring the depreciation holdback is released once work is complete. Clients who engage us in the insurance process consistently recover 15 to 30 percent more than the initial offer.

In hail-prone markets — Dallas, Denver, all of Colorado and Texas — the answer is almost always yes. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost 20 to 35 percent more than standard architectural shingles but carry a significantly higher hail resistance rating, which translates to fewer future claims and often a 20 to 30 percent discount on your homeowner's insurance premium. In most cases the insurance discount pays back the upgrade cost within 3 to 5 years. We provide the insurer's certificate after installation.

Apex works with multiple financing partners including GreenSky, Hearth, and regional credit unions specializing in home improvement lending. For insurance-covered replacements, we structure the contract so your insurance disbursements align with the payment schedule, minimizing how much you need to finance. For out-of-pocket replacements, 12-month same-as-cash plans are available for projects under $15,000, and 84-month installment plans for larger projects. All financing is arranged before we schedule the job.

A standard installer can offer GAF's basic 10-year System Plus warranty. A GAF Master Elite contractor — which Apex is — can offer the Golden Pledge warranty, which covers both material defects and workmanship labor for up to 25 years and is backed by GAF's corporate guarantee rather than just the installer's. This is a documented, transferable asset when you sell the home and is often cited by real estate agents as a selling point in competitive markets.

A standard residential replacement is typically completed in one day for roofs up to 35 squares on simple gable geometry. Complex hip roofs, multiple valleys, or steep pitches may take two days. You do not need to be home, but someone should be available for the morning walkthrough and evening inspection. We ask that vehicles be moved from the driveway and that you remove fragile items from walls near the roofline — the vibration from nail guns can knock pictures off walls in older homes.

Yes — we provide a written estimate after an on-site assessment at no charge.

Choosing standard architectural shingles, scheduling in the off-season (late fall or early spring), and getting multiple quotes can all reduce costs.

We can discuss staged payment arrangements for larger projects — ask when you book and we'll outline what's available.

A new roof adds resale value, eliminates recurring repair costs, and improves energy efficiency — most homeowners find it worthwhile within a few years.
