Why Mercer Roofing Co Austin Is Bastrop’s Preferred Roof Installation Company
Bastrop homeowners deal with a specific set of roof problems, and we see them every week. The hot, humid summers cook shingles from both sides when ventilation is weak. Hail from spring thunderstorms pounds composition shingle roofs that are already twenty-plus years old. And in neighborhoods like Tahitian Village, you’ll find the “Bastrop patch”: a post-fire metal roof on one lot, a failing 1980s three-tab on the next. Our Roof Installation team knows how to work both, and everything between.
Every technician who comes to your Bastrop home is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives in a clean, marked uniform with a photo ID badge. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and we send your technician’s name and photo before they arrive. You’ll know exactly who is at the door before you open it. Grant Whitlock leads our team, and he holds every job to the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year, we make it right, in writing.
Bastrop homeowners tell us the same thing: they want a real price before work starts and a real guarantee after it’s done. You get both. A written price, fixed and itemized, before a single nail goes in. A written guarantee on every repair. And if a repair fails, a free second visit, no argument. That’s how we’ve built our reputation across Bastrop and the surrounding areas.
Styles & brands we work with
Shingle Roof in Bastrop
Shingle roof installation in Bastrop is the most common full replacement we do, and for good reason: most of Bastrop’s housing stock is ranch-style single-story homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s, and those composition shingle roofs over plywood decking are reaching end-of-life right now. A shingle roof in Bastrop typically runs $8,500 to $14,000, with architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed making up the bulk of the cost difference. Homeowners in Hunter’s Crossing and The Colony call us when their builder-grade shingles start losing granule or curling at the edges, usually around year twelve to fifteen.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab
Most Bastrop homes built before 1990 have three-tab shingles, which were common then and now fail faster under our hail and UV exposure. We install architectural shingles on nearly every replacement. They carry a higher wind rating, look better on a ranch profile, and cost only about $1,200 to $1,800 more per roof than going back with three-tab.
Decking and Underlayment
Bastrop heat and humidity get under shingles through weak decking. On homes from the 1980s, we often find softened plywood near valleys, and code requires us to replace it before new shingles go down. We use synthetic underlayment and GAF StormGuard or similar ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations. Skipping that step is why so many Bastrop roofs leak at the first heavy rain.
Standing Seam Metal Roof in Bastrop
Standing seam metal roof installation in Bastrop has grown steadily since the 2011 Complex Fire, and for smart reasons. Fire-resistant construction is a proven selling point here, and many rebuilt homes in neighborhoods like Tahitian Village chose standing seam for that reason. A standing seam metal roof in Bastrop typically runs $22,000 to $35,000 on a ranch home, with the higher end covering tear-off, new underlayment, and custom trim. It’s the most ember-resistant roofing system you can put on a Bastrop home.
Fire Resistance and Hail
Standing seam metal carries a Class A fire rating, the highest available, which matters in a city that remembers 2011 clearly. It also handles hail better than most shingles; Bastrop sees hail almost every spring, and while metal can dent cosmetically, it rarely requires replacement. Impact-rated shingles are an alternative if you prefer a shingle look with better hail performance.
Matching the Bastrop Patch
Some neighborhoods are a mix of metal and shingle roofs, and homeowners ask whether they can switch from one to the other. The short answer is yes, with one condition: check your HOA’s architectural rules first. Some master-planned sections of The Colony and Hunter’s Crossing have guidelines on roof color and material. We help you pull the right approval and install to match, so you don’t end up with a tear-off over a color mismatch.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bastrop
We install and repair shingle brands that Bastrop homeowners actually ask for: GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, and Boral. Each has strengths, and we’ll tell you which fits your roof and budget without upselling you into something you don’t need. For Bastrop, we keep common architectural shingle colors and metal trim stock on hand, so a replacement doesn’t stall waiting on parts from Austin or San Marcos. If you want a CertainTeed Landmark or a GAF Timberline with better hail resistance, we can usually have it staged within a few days.

AfterCommon Roof Installation Problems We See in Bastrop Homes
- Weak builder-grade ventilation on new construction. Newer sections of Hunter’s Crossing and The Colony have roofs that look fine but trap heat at the ridge. That attic heat cooks shingles from below, and we can tell when a roof has failed early because of ventilation, not weather.
- Shingles failing in valleys from skipped ice and water shield. Bastrop gets intense, short cloudbursts. When a previous installer skipped ice and water shield in the valleys and around pipe penetrations, you get a leak the first heavy rain after the job. It’s the most common call we get after another company’s install.
- Soft decking on 1980s homes. Original plywood from that era often softens near valleys and eaves. If it isn’t replaced before shingles go down, the new roof starts failing underneath within a few years. We inspect every deck sheet and tell you what’s needed before we start.
- HOA color or material mismatches. Bastrop master-planned communities have architectural review rules, and skipping them is expensive. A shingle color or metal profile that doesn’t match the HOA’s approved list can force a full tear-off and re-install. We help you file the approval correctly before work begins.

FAQs About Roof Installation in Bastrop
Architectural shingles hold up to most Bastrop hail events and are the standard choice for homes across the city. Impact-rated shingles from GAF or CertainTeed add another layer of hail protection without switching to metal. Standing seam metal is the most resilient option and carries a Class A fire rating, which matters in Bastrop. If you want hail resistance without a full metal roof, ask about Class 4 impact-rated shingles when you call (361) 202-8874.
You need synthetic underlayment plus ice and water shield in the valleys, around skylights, and around pipe penetrations. Bastrop’s downpours are intense, and the valleys are where water concentrates. Ice and water shield self-seals around fasteners and creates a membrane that stops leaks even when water backs up. On 1980s plywood decking, we inspect every sheet first and replace anything softened; no underlayment can fix failing deck, and a new roof won’t last over it. Call us for a deck inspection and written quote.
Yes, with proper care. Builder warranties on new construction generally aren’t voided by re-roofing unless the new system causes a separate problem, but the HOA is a different matter. In Bastrop’s master-planned neighborhoods like The Colony and Hunter’s Crossing, architectural rules govern shingle color, material, and sometimes even profile. We file the HOA approval with your community’s design review board before your install, using the builder’s original color palette where possible. For exact quote details, call (361) 202-8874.
Because a square is 100 square feet of roof area, and it’s the standard unit for pricing shingles, underlayment, and labor. A 2,000-square-foot single-story ranch in Bastrop typically has a roof between 22 and 28 squares, depending on pitch and overhang. When we quote a price, we give you the square count and a price per square, so you can see exactly how the total is built. Call us if you want a written line-item quote for your house.
Yes, it’s okay structurally and it’s common in Bastrop neighborhoods like Tahitian Village. Standing seam metal goes over a solid deck, and we strip the old shingles first so the decking can be inspected. The only real constraint is HOA approval and color selection; some communities list approved metal profiles, and we’ll handle that filing. Expect to pay $22,000 to $35,000 for the switch, depending on decking condition and trim work. Call (361) 202-8874 for a free estimate.
