Trusted Roof Repair for Austin Homeowners
Austin’s heat, hail, and sudden downpours do real work on a roof. Shingles curl under 100-degree sun, flashings loosen after years of thermal expansion, and one hard storm can turn a small gap into a ceiling stain by morning. We’re Mercer Roofing Co Austin, and we’ve been repairing roofs across this city since our founding in 2000 as part of the Threshold Group family. Our Roof Repair in Austin team handles everything from single shingle replacements to full leak remediation. When you call (361) 202-8874, a live person answers – not a voicemail, not a call-back form – and we’ll schedule a repair visit with a technician whose name and photo you’ll receive before they ever ring your doorbell.

- Written price before any work starts. Every repair begins with a clear, line-item quote. No surprises on the invoice.

- Background-checked, photo-badged technicians. You’ll know exactly who is coming to your door, verified by name and face.
- Live phone answer, 24/7. A real human picks up, day or night, including holidays.
Roof Leak Repair
Leak Repair is the process of finding where water is entering your home and sealing that entry point before it damages insulation, drywall, or framing. In Austin, leaks commonly appear after the spring storm season or when flat-roofed sections pond water after a heavy rain. Mercer Roofing Co Austin responds by tracing the water path – not just patching the visible stain – because water travels along decking and can surface feet away from the actual breach. What you’ll pay depends on the source: replacing a few damaged shingles or resealing a pipe boot typically runs $250 to $550, while repairing rotted decking and replacing underlayment can push a repair to $800 to $1,400. Every leak repair includes a written guarantee, and the price is on paper before we lift a tool.
Interior Stain Tracing
We map the water path from the ceiling stain backward to the entry point using moisture meters and visual inspection of the decking from the attic side when accessible. This keeps us from replacing shingles on a slope that isn’t leaking while the real problem – often a failed flashing or a cracked vent collar – goes untouched.
Flashing and Pipe Boot Sealing
Most Austin roof leaks we see are not failed shingles. They’re deteriorated flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys, or dried-out rubber pipe boots. We replace or reseal these with materials rated for Central Texas temperature swings, then verify the fix with a controlled water test before we call the job done.
Styles & brands we work with
Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency Roof Repair is what happens when a tree limb punctures the decking, a storm tears off a section of shingles, or a leak opens up during a downpour and water is coming inside right now. If you’re in Austin and you can see sky from your attic or water is pooling on your floor, call (361) 202-8874 immediately – a live person answers around the clock. Mercer Roofing Co Austin will tarp the damaged section the same day in most cases, which stops further water intrusion and gives you breathing room to plan the permanent fix. Emergency tarping and temporary stabilization typically runs $300 to $600, while the permanent repair is priced separately with the same written quote process we use on every job.
Storm Tarping and Board-Up
Our first job is stopping the water. We secure a heavy-duty tarp over the breach, anchoring it so Austin’s wind won’t peel it back overnight. This is temporary protection, but done right it keeps your ceilings, insulation, and electrical systems dry until permanent repairs are scheduled.
Next-Day Permanent Repairs
Once the immediate threat is handled, we return to assess the full damage and provide a written price for the complete repair. Decking replacement, shingle matching, flashing rework – all of it gets quoted line by line before work resumes. And because every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, if anything fails within a year, the second visit is free.
Flat Roof Repair
Flat Roof Patch work addresses the specific failure patterns of low-slope roofing: ponding water, membrane cracks, failed seams, and blistering from Austin’s intense UV exposure. Homes and commercial buildings across Austin – especially mid-century builds in neighborhoods like Allandale and Crestview – commonly use modified bitumen, TPO, or EPDM membranes. Mercer Roofing Co Austin repairs all three, along with built-up gravel roofs. Small membrane patches and seam reseals generally run $400 to $900, while larger section replacements or drainage corrections can cost $1,200 to $3,000 depending on the system and square footage. You’ll get a written price before any work begins, and the repair is guaranteed for a full year.
Ponding and Drainage Correction
Standing water is a flat roof’s worst enemy. It degrades membranes, encourages biological growth, and eventually finds a seam to slip through. We identify where water is pooling and why – often a clogged scupper or a sagging deck – then correct the drainage path so the roof actually sheds water the way it was designed to.
Membrane Seam Welding and Patching
TPO and EPDM roofs fail most often at the seams, where heat-welded or adhesive bonds break down over years of thermal cycling. We clean and prepare the seam, then re-weld or patch using material matched to the existing membrane so the repair moves with the roof instead of fighting it.
Shingle Roof Repair
Shingle Replacement and repair covers everything from replacing a handful of wind-torn shingles to re-nailing loose courses and repairing the underlayment beneath them. Austin’s hailstorms and high winds mean shingle damage is the most common repair call we get. Mercer Roofing Co Austin works with shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko, among others, and we match color and profile as closely as possible so the repaired section doesn’t announce itself from the curb. Replacing a few shingles typically runs $200 to $500. If the damage extends to underlayment or decking, expect $600 to $1,200. The price is written down before we start.
Hail and Wind Damage Assessment
After a storm, we walk the entire roof surface looking for bruising, granule loss, lifted tabs, and exposed nail heads. We photograph everything and show you exactly what we found. No invented damage, no pressure – just an honest assessment with a written repair plan if you need one.
Color-Matched Shingle Replacement
When shingles fail, the repair should look like it belongs. We source from current manufacturer lines and regional suppliers to find the closest match to your existing roof’s color and architecture. Fresh shingles that stand out are a sign someone didn’t try. We try.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Storm Damage Roof Repair is the process of restoring a roof after hail, wind, or falling debris compromise its ability to keep water out. Austin sits in a hail corridor, and spring thunderstorms regularly produce winds strong enough to lift shingles or send tree limbs through decking. Mercer Roofing Co Austin responds with an assessment-first approach: we document all damage, give you a written repair price that separates storm-related work from pre-existing wear, and only then begin repairs. The cost scales with what the storm did. Wind-blown shingle replacement often runs $300 to $700, while structural repairs involving decking or truss bracing can reach $1,500 to $4,000. Every storm repair is covered by our written guarantee.
Insurance Documentation
If you’re filing a claim, we provide photo documentation, written findings, and a line-item repair estimate your adjuster can review. We don’t negotiate your claim – that’s between you and your carrier – but we make sure you have an honest, itemized record of what the storm actually did to your roof.
Preventative Reinforcement
After a storm repair, we can identify weak points that made your roof vulnerable in the first place: under-driven nails, missing sealant at flashings, or shingles that were already past their service life. Addressing these while we’re already on-site is always optional, always quoted in writing, and never pushed.
Metal Roof Repair
Metal Roof Repair addresses the unique failure points of standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle systems: loose fasteners, failed sealants at panel laps, rust around penetrations, and oil-canning that’s progressed to actual buckling. Austin’s metal roofs expand and contract through wide daily temperature swings, and that movement eventually works fasteners loose. Mercer Roofing Co Austin repairs all common metal roof types, re-setting fasteners with neoprene washers and replacing failed sealant with products rated for Central Texas UV loads. Small fastener and sealant repairs typically run $350 to $800. Panel replacement or rust remediation around penetrations can cost $900 to $2,000 depending on the extent. Written price first, guaranteed repair after.
Fastener and Sealant Failure
Metal roofs rarely fail because the metal gives out. They fail because a screw backs out or a bead of sealant dries and cracks. We systematically inspect fastener rows and penetration seals, then re-torque or replace anything marginal so a small problem doesn’t become a roof-wide leak.
Panel Replacement and Corrosion Control
Where hail has dented panels through or rust has compromised a panel’s structure, we cut out and replace the damaged section, matching profile and finish as closely as the current market allows. We also treat adjacent corrosion so the new panel isn’t immediately undermined by the same problem.
Commercial Roof Repair
Commercial Roof Repair serves Austin businesses with low-slope and flat roofing systems, plus metal roofs on warehouses and retail buildings. The stakes are different here: inventory, equipment, and payroll sit under that roof, and a leak can halt operations far more quickly than it disrupts a living room. Mercer Roofing Co Austin repairs TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up gravel, and metal commercial roofs. Our commercial clients range from small retail strips on Burnet Road to light industrial buildings in the Rundberg corridor. Minor membrane repairs run $500 to $1,500. Section replacements and drainage work can reach $3,000 to $8,000 depending on roof size and system type. Every commercial repair gets a written price and a written guarantee before work starts, and we coordinate schedules so your business keeps running.
Minimally Disruptive Scheduling
We plan commercial work around your operating hours where possible, staging materials in advance and working in sections so parking, entrances, and loading areas stay usable. When a repair absolutely must happen during business hours, we tell you ahead of time what noise and access to expect.
Preventative Maintenance Contracts
For commercial properties, a semi-annual inspection catches failed seams, clogged drains, and punctured membranes before they become leaks. We document findings with photos, prioritize wear items, and give you a written plan for the next 12 months so budgeting is straightforward.
Brands We Service
We repair and install roofs built with GAF shingles, one of the most common brands on Austin homes, and we’re familiar with their Timberline and Royal Sovereign lines well enough to match repairs to existing courses without guesswork. If your roof carries CertainTeed, we work with their Landmark and XT series shingles and know their color profiles, which means the repair blends instead of standing out.
For homeowners with Tamko products, we stock common color matches and replacement components locally through Austin suppliers, so a repair doesn’t wait on a special order. Whether your roof has GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, or any other manufacturer’s product, we can repair it – and we’ll tell you honestly if a particular shingle line has been discontinued and what the best current match is before we quote the job.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or walls. A discolored ring means water is already inside. The entry point may be feet away from the stain, and every rain until it’s found does more damage to insulation and drywall.
- Granules in the gutters. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, but a sudden accumulation after a storm means the protective surface is failing fast. Bare spots on shingles follow quickly after granule loss.
- Daylight through the attic. If you can see light coming through your roof boards from inside the attic, water has a path too. Small gaps become big leaks during the first hard Austin downpour.
- Curling or lifting shingles. Shingles that no longer lie flat catch wind, and Austin wind will keep peeling them back. What starts as one lifted tab becomes an exposed deck section within a few storms.
- Sagging decking or soft spots. If the roof surface feels spongy when walked on, or you can see a visible dip from the street, the structural layer may be water-damaged. That’s beyond a surface repair and needs assessment before it worsens.

How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Austin?
A typical minor Roof Repair in Austin – a few shingles, a pipe boot, a small flashing seal – runs $250 to $550. Mid-range repairs involving underlayment replacement or multiple flashings generally land between $600 and $1,200. Larger structural work like decking replacement, skylight re-flashing, or extensive storm damage runs $1,500 to $4,000, and commercial or flat-roof section replacements can exceed that depending on the system.
What moves the price? The roof’s pitch and height, the age and condition of the decking beneath the shingles, whether the material is still in production or needs color matching from a discontinued line, and how early the problem was caught. Leaks that have run for seasons do more damage than leaks caught in the first storm, and the cost reflects the difference.
The way to avoid overpaying is to get the price in writing before work starts and to ask exactly what’s included. Our written estimates break out materials, labor, and any disposal fees. They also state our guarantee in plain language: 365 days, and a free second visit if the repair fails.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair in Austin
Roof repair is the targeted restoration of a specific section of a roof – shingles, flashing, decking, or membrane – without replacing the entire roof. It addresses water intrusion points, wind and hail damage, and failed components to restore the roof’s function. Repair is appropriate when damage is localized and the rest of the roof remains serviceable, and it costs far less than a full roof installation. Call (361) 202-8874 and we’ll assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your Austin home.
Most residential roof repairs are completed in one visit, typically two to four hours on-site. Larger repairs involving decking replacement or extensive flashing work can run half a day to a full day. We’ll give you a clear time expectation in the written estimate, and if the scope changes during the job, we stop and get your approval before continuing.
Minor shingle and flashing repairs in Austin generally run $250 to $550, while mid-range repairs involving underlayment or multiple flashings range from $600 to $1,200.

Every repair includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair fails within one year, we return and make it right – and that second visit is free. The promise is unconditional on workmanship, and it’s printed on the estimate before you approve anything. If the job isn’t right, we fix it. That’s the whole promise.
Clear access to the attic if you have one – we’ll want to inspect the decking from the inside when possible. Move any vehicles out of the driveway near the work area, and know that we’ll need to set up a ladder against the house. You don’t need to be home for the assessment itself as long as we can reach the roof, but if you are home, we’ll walk you through our findings before anyone touches a tool. The technician’s name and photo arrive before the visit, so you’ll know exactly who to expect.
