Roofers in Austin, TX
Roofers in Austin work against a specific set of conditions: intense UV exposure, spring hailstorms, and a housing stock that ranges from 1950s bungalows with spaced board sheathing to 2000s suburban builds with aging composition shingles. We’re Mercer Roofing Co Austin, and we approach every Austin roof with those realities in mind. Whether you need a repair, a full replacement, or an honest assessment, you’ll get a written price before any work begins and a live person on the phone at (361) 202-8874.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin’s roofing work is dominated by the need to protect against the city’s hail storms and relentless summer sun. A large share of the housing stock is limestone and brick veneer homes built during the 1970s through 2000s boom, and many of those roofs now sit at or past the 20 to 25 year replacement mark. What we typically find on inspection: composition shingles with heavy granule loss, inadequate attic ventilation, and decking that was never designed for modern shingle systems.
In neighborhoods like Allandale and Crestview, original 1950s roof decks often lack plywood sheathing entirely. They use spaced board sheathing, which must be overlayed before any modern shingle installation. That’s one of the reasons Austin replacements aren’t a one-size-fits-all job. Mid-century modern and ranch homes also frequently have low-slope or flat roof sections that need specialized membrane systems, not standard shingles. A roofer who knows Austin expects these conditions before the first ladder goes up.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Austin Services
Most Austin homeowners call us for one of two things: a repair on a roof that’s suddenly leaking or damaged, or a full replacement on a roof that’s reached the end of its life. Here’s what each involves in Austin.
Roof Repair in Austin
Repairs in Austin are often hail-related, or they trace back to flashing failures around chimneys, skylights, and pipe penetrations. High attic heat accelerates shingle deterioration, so a roof that looks fine from the street can have brittle, cracked shingles once you’re on it. We inspect, document what we find, and give you a written price before any repair work starts. Every repair includes a written guarantee, and if it fails within 365 days, the second visit is free. Roof Repair in Austin is our most detailed page on this.
Roofing Company in Austin
When Austin homeowners search for a roofing company, they want two things: someone who will show up and someone who won’t surprise them with the invoice. We send every technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they arrive in a clean, marked uniform with a photo ID badge. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and it’s the same on every job, from a one-hour repair to a full replacement. Roofing Company in Austin covers our full approach.
Roof Installation in Austin
Full installation in Austin means addressing what’s under the shingles, not just the shingles themselves. That includes decking condition, underlayment, ventilation, and the reality of low-slope sections on many mid-century and ranch homes. We work with manufacturer-recognized shingle brands including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and every installation begins with a written, line-item price. No work starts without it. Roof Installation in Austin explains the full process.

What pushes Austin prices higher than other Texas markets is what’s hidden under the shingles: older decking that needs overlayment or replacement, code-required ventilation upgrades, and the frequency of hail insurance claim repairs. We give you a written price before any work starts, and that’s the price on your invoice. No change orders, no surprise line items.

What Austin Customers Say
"Chimney flashing was the culprit for years of dark stains on the ceiling. Fixed it in one visit and no more stains."
- Ian O."Honest inspection. He went up, took photos, and told me I had maybe five more years instead of selling a full replacement."
- Xavier L."Leak showed up in the hallway ceiling after a big storm. They found the failed pipe flashing in about ten minutes, replaced it, and checked the attic for wet insulation."
