Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Bastrop
Roof repair in Bastrop costs between $350 and $1,400 for most shingle, flashing, and leak fixes, with full storm-damage restoration running $2,500 to $8,000 depending on roof size and material matching. Those are real numbers for this market, not national averages. Bastrop’s checkerboard of post-2011 Complex Fire rebuilds and original 1980s ranch homes means most repairs involve matching dissimilar materials, which takes a roofer who knows the difference. Call (361) 202-8874 and a live person answers. We’ll send a technician whose name and photo you receive before they knock.
Why Mercer Roofing Co Austin Is Bastrop’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We work on Bastrop roofs every week, from Tahitian Village ranches to the newer subdivisions off Highway 71. Homeowners here tell the same story: a small leak shows up, a handyman patches it, and six months later the same corner is leaking again. That’s because Bastrop’s humid summers rot decking from the underside, and you can’t see it until the shingles come off. Our Roof Repair team knows to check for hidden decking rot before quoting, not after.
Every Mercer technician arrives in a marked uniform with a photo ID badge at the door. Before the visit, we send your technician’s name and photo so there’s no stranger-at-the-door moment. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and every independently owned Mercer location is contractually held to it. We’re part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000.
Grant Whitlock leads our team, and he’s particular about two things: written prices before any work starts, and a written guarantee on every repair. No exceptions. That’s why Bastrop homeowners keep our number saved.
Styles & brands we work with
Storm Damage Roof Repair in Bastrop
Storm Damage Roof Repair in Bastrop is a frequent need from April through October, when severe thunderstorms roll through with hail, straight-line winds, and the occasional microburst. Hail here rarely totals a roof in one event. More often, it strips granules and bruises shingles, which shortens the roof’s life by years and opens the underlayment to water. Wind-driven rain then finds the gaps where drip edge or starter strip wasn’t installed properly on an old repair.
Hail Granule Loss and Bruised Shingles
Hail doesn’t just dent shingles, it knocks off the ceramic granules that reflect UV and shed water. In Bastrop’s hot summers, a granule-stripped shingle dries out and cracks within months. We inspect for bruising, which shows up as soft spots that feel like tiny applesauce cups under the shingle surface. Insurance adjusters look for the same signs, and we’ll document every finding with photos so your claim reflects the actual damage.
Temporary Tarping and Water-Intrusion Assessment
When a limb punctures a roof or wind peels back a section, we’ll tarp it to stop active water entry, then map the full extent of intrusion before quoting repair. That assessment includes the attic side, because Bastrop’s humidity means what looks like a small wet spot on the ceiling can be a much larger section of saturated decking. A repair on this type of storm damage typically runs $900 to $2,800 in Bastrop, depending on the square footage and decking replacement.
Metal Roof Repair in Bastrop
Metal Roof Repair in Bastrop is common because the post-2011 Complex Fire rebuilds introduced a wave of standing-seam and corrugated metal roofs into neighborhoods that were previously all composition shingle. Metal roofs handle hail well, but they have their own failure modes: screw gaskets dry out and leak after a decade, trim and flashing loosen in high wind, and dissimilar-metal contact causes corrosion where old galvanized meets new steel. Repairing metal means knowing how to seal without voiding the manufacturer’s finish warranty.
Standing-Seam Seam and Gasket Leaks
The most common metal roof problem in Bastrop is leaking at the seam fasteners, especially on roofs installed during the rush of post-fire construction. The washered screws that hold down the panels rely on a rubber gasket that Bastrop heat eventually bakes hard and brittle. When they fail, water walks down the screw threads into the decking. We replace the fasteners with the correct size and same metal type, reseal the seam, and inspect adjacent panel overlap for corrosion.
Flashing and Penetration Leaks on Metal Roofs
Vent pipes, skylights, and chimneys on metal roofs need specialized flashing boots and pitch pans that flex with the panel movement. We see many Bastrop metal roofs where a shingle-style boot was installed as a shortcut. It cracks in the first hot summer. A proper standing-seam repair with soldered or butyl-sealed flashing runs $450 to $1,600 in Bastrop depending on the penetration count and accessibility.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bastrop
We repair and match shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, the three brands you’ll most often find on Bastrop roofs. Matching matters more in Bastrop than in newer cities, because so many homes here have original architectural shingles from the 1980s and 1990s that are long discontinued. We source the closest available color and profile, and when an exact match isn’t possible, we’ll tell you that before the repair starts. Our crews keep common CertainTeed Landmark and GAF Timberline colors stocked for Bastrop work, which cuts days off a typical repair.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Bastrop Homes
- Decking rot under shingles that look fine from the ground. Bastrop’s humid summers trap moisture beneath composition shingles, especially on 1970s and 1980s ranch homes with older plywood decking. The shingles often look passable, but when we pull them, the decking beneath can be soft enough to push a screwdriver through. A repair that skips this finds out the hard way, when the new shingles can’t hold fasteners.
- HOA-required architectural shingles on repairs that use three-tab. Many newer Bastrop subdivisions and even some older Tahitian Village sections have covenants requiring architectural or dimensional shingles. We’ve repaired roofs where a previous contractor used three-tab on a small section and the homeowner got a violation letter within a month. Matching the profile and not just the color is part of our standard scope.
- Missing drip edge and starter strip on original ranch roofs. Homes built before drip edge became code often have none, and Bastrop thunderstorms push wind-driven rain hard enough to curl up the shingle edges. A small repair that replaces shingles without adding drip edge re-leaks, because water wicks under the new shingles at the eaves. We include drip edge and starter strip on any repair we quote.
- Valley and vent boot deterioration on post-fire rebuilds. The 2011 Complex Fire spawned a building boom in Bastrop, and some of those fast-built homes used lower-cost vent boots and valley flashing that are now hitting their failure point. We replace cracked plastic boots with silicone or rubber lead-free boots and re-flash valleys with proper woven metal.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Bastrop
Homes rebuilt after the 2011 Complex Fire were required to meet stricter fire-resistant construction standards, which is why you see so many metal roofs in formerly all-shingle neighborhoods. New metal adheres to modern code, but original 1980s shingle roofs next door never had to upgrade. That’s the ‘Bastrop patch’ a roofer has to navigate. When we repair a shingle roof that predates the fire, we assess whether the repair triggers code upgrades for drip edge, underlayment, or fastener pattern, and we tell you before quoting.
Generally no, as long as the repair is done by a licensed contractor using materials consistent with the builder’s original specs. Builders void warranties when a repair introduces inferior materials, like three-tab shingles on an architectural-shingle roof, or when flashing work damages the waterproofing underlayment. We document every repair with photos and keep the material specs on file so you can show the builder the work met or exceeded their install standard. Call (361) 202-8874 to talk through your roof’s specific builder warranty.
The 2011 fire destroyed over 1,600 homes in the Bastrop area, and rebuilding happened in a patchwork across existing neighborhoods like Tahitian Village and Circle D. Some lots got metal roofs, some got architectural shingle, and some owners repaired original roofs that were only damaged, not destroyed. That’s why one street can have five roof materials in six houses. Repairing in that context means matching whatever your home has, not whatever the neighbor across the street has.
It means your HOA expects any repaired section to match the profile and color of your existing architectural shingles. If your roof has a discontinued color, we source the nearest available match and document the attempt. We also handle the material spec sheet and photos your HOA or property manager may request. A small repair done with correct architectural shingle runs $450 to $900 in Bastrop. Getting it wrong costs you a violation notice and a second repair, so we get the HOA spec before we order materials.
A simple repair is usually enough when hail damage is limited to one slope and the decking beneath is dry and sound. A full replacement makes more sense when bruising covers multiple slopes, granule loss exceeds 40% of the roof surface, or the decking has widespread rot from years of Bastrop humidity. We’ll show you photos from your actual roof and walk you through the numbers before you decide. A roof consultation in Bastrop costs you nothing. Call (361) 202-8874.
