What Roofing Costs in Bastrop, and What Actually Changes the Price
A full roof replacement in Bastrop typically runs $11,500 to $22,000 for an average single-family home, while a targeted repair falls between $450 and $1,850. Steel or standing-seam metal roofs on newer post-2011 wildfire rebuilds commonly land between $17,500 and $35,000. The spread comes down to decking condition, roof slope, and what your HOA requires. Call (361) 202-8874 and we will give you a written line-item price before any work starts, not a vague range that drifts once the crew shows up.
Most Bastrop roofs fail unevenly. One side of the street holds a 1987 three-tab roof with the original 3/8-inch plywood decking. The other side holds a standing-seam metal roof installed eight months after the Complex Fire. The quote that treats both the same is the one to throw away. Mercer Roofing is a Roofing Company that writes prices per square foot of decking replaced, per linear foot of flashing, per sheet of underlayment. You see the math. Nothing is guessed.
What affects the number the most is whether the decking has to come up. A water-damaged deck is not a line item you want skipped. Low-bidding crews in Bastrop sometimes nail new shingles over rotted plywood rather than pay to replace it. Five years later the roof sags and the shingles start failing. We will not do that, and our written estimate explains exactly which decking sections get replaced and why.
Grant Whitlock has built this approach around one word: certainty. Written price, written guarantee, and a technician whose name and photo you receive before he rings your doorbell.

Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Bastrop
Bastrop homeowners deal with a roofing mix you will not find in Austin, Cedar Park, or San Marcos. Post-2011 fire rebuilds with standing-seam metal sit directly next to original 1980s three-tab shingle roofs failing unevenly. A crew that works only on new subdivisions will misread three-quarters of this town. We work the whole spread, from Tahitian Village to The Colony to the ranch homes along Highway 21, and we price each one based on what is actually up there.
When you call (361) 202-8874, a live person answers. We send a background-checked, uniformed technician with a photo ID badge, and you will know his name and see his photo before he arrives. No stranger at the door, no guessing who is on your ladder.
Our Bastrop customers get a written price before the first nail is driven, every single time. You will not be asked to sign a scope change at the back of a truck. That is a Bastrop-specific promise, because we know how many homeowners here got burned by rush work after the 2011 fire and by out-of-town crews during the post-storm building booms.
Styles & brands we work with
Why Mercer Roofing Co Austin Is Bastrop’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
Bastrop homeowners do not choose a roofer the way Austin homeowners do. There is no dense network of well-known local companies here. It is mostly word of mouth, a couple of Facebook neighborhood groups, and a lot of fly-by-night outfits that appear after a hail storm and vanish by October.
We operate differently. Mercer is part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000, and every technician we dispatch to Bastrop is held to the Threshold Verified standard: background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged at your door. The name and photo come to you by text or email before the truck arrives.
We keep scheduling simple. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Austin office, but the crew that comes to your home in Bastrop works local, with parts stocked for the roof systems we see every day here: Owens Corning Duration, IKO Cambridge, Atlas StormMaster, Tamko Heritage. If you need a repair in Riverside Grove or Hunters Crossing, we are not overnighting a part from somewhere else.
Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if that repair fails within 365 days, the second visit is free. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise. It is not marketing bark. It is in writing on every job.
Metal Roof Installation in Bastrop
Metal roof installation in Bastrop is our most requested upgrade for both post-fire rebuilds and newer homes in HOA-governed subdivisions like The Colony. Homeowners who watched the 2011 Complex Fire move through this county do not want ember-vulnerable roofs. Standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal systems give you a Class A fire rating, and when we install them with proper ember-resistant underlayment and drip edge details, they hold up to the next wildfire event far better than a composition roof.
A standing-seam metal roof in Bastrop runs $17,500 to $35,000 depending on roof slope, decking condition, and whether we are tearing off an old shingle roof or building on a new deck. The price includes tear-off when needed, underlayment, full flashing replacement, and all fasteners specified by the manufacturer. We write it down before work begins.
Standing-Seam vs Exposed-Fastener
Standing-seam costs more per square, but Bastrop’s hail and wind history makes the concealed-fastener system the smarter long-term choice in exposed areas like Tahitian Village or along Highway 95. Exposed-fastener panels hold up fine on sheds, workshops, and simple ranch homes, but the fastener gaskets need periodic checking.
What the HOA Needs to See
If you live in a newer Bastrop subdivision, especially The Colony or sections of Hunters Crossing, your architectural review committee probably has a specific profile and color palette for metal roofs. We pull the HOA spec before we write your quote. Installing the wrong standing-seam profile because no one checked means a forced re-roof after the committee reviews it.
Residential Roofing in Bastrop
Residential roofing in Bastrop often means dealing with ranch homes from the 1970s and 1980s that still carry their original three-tab shingles over 3/8-inch plywood decking. That decking is the problem most quotes gloss over. Water damage rots it, then the fasteners pull loose, then a windstorm peels shingles like notebook paper. A full replacement without decking replacement is a half-job.
A complete residential replacement in Bastrop runs $11,500 to $22,000. What pushes the number up: decking replacement, steep slopes above a 7/12 pitch, extra flashing around chimneys or skylights, and any code upgrades like high-profile ridge venting or impact-rated shingles. We price each of those by the unit. You see the cost before we start, not after.
Three-Tab Replacement for 70s and 80s Ranches
When we replace a three-tab roof on an older Bastrop ranch home, the first thing we inspect is the decking. If it is delaminating or water-stained, that sheet comes out and a new 5/8-inch or 7/16-inch sheet goes down. We also check the original 2×4 rafters for sag at the ridge, which is common in the older subdivisions off Loop 150.
Builder-Grade Replacement on Newer Homes
The newer homes in Bastrop, especially the ones built since roughly 2015, often carry builder-grade architectural shingles with a 20 to 25 year manufacturer warranty. Most owners replace them early not because the shingles failed but because a storm or a leak exposed the builder’s cheap underlayment. We can upgrade you to Owens Corning Duration or Atlas StormMaster while the decking is still solid.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bastrop
We install and repair shingle brands that are manufacturer-recognized and stocked locally for Bastrop work: Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas for most asphalt roofs, with Tamko available for ranch homes and outbuildings. When we quote these brands, we quote full manufacturer specs: correct fasteners, correct underlayment, correct ventilation. A roof only carries its warranty if the installation matches what the manufacturer demands, and our Bastrop crews install to those published standards, not to whatever the last crew thought worked.
Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Bastrop Homes
- Water-damaged decking buried under new shingles. This is the biggest failure mode on 1970s and 1980s ranch homes across Bastrop. The original 3/8-inch plywood rots, a low-bid crew skips replacement to keep the number low, and five years later the roof sags and shingles start failing. We mark decking replacement as a required line item, not an optional upsell.
- HOA-mandated re-roofs after the wrong color or profile gets installed. Newer subdivisions like The Colony and Riverside Grove run an architectural review on roofing. The wrong shingle color or the wrong metal profile gets flagged, and the homeowner pays for a re-roof. We pull the HOA spec before you sign anything.
- Ember-vulnerable underlayment on post-fire rebuilds. Homes rebuilt after the Complex Fire sometimes have metal roofs installed over standard felt underlayment and plain drip edge. That combination is not ember-resistant. We install ember-rated underlayment and proper eave-to-ridge detail on every re-roof, especially in fire-exposed areas like Tahitian Village.
- Unsealed valleys on older ranch homes. Bastrop’s older homes often have open valleys that were never properly flashed or sealed. Hail and heavy rain get under the shingles and run straight into the ceiling. We re-flash every valley with ice and water shield, not just a bead of roof cement.

AfterPricing for Roofing Company in Bastrop, TX
Honest roof pricing in Bastrop means quoting by the square, by the sheet, and by the linear foot. A full asphalt shingle replacement on a standard 1,800-square-foot ranch home runs $11,500 to $16,500. Add $80 to $140 per sheet for decking replacement if the wood is compromised. A standing-seam metal roof on the same footprint starts around $17,500 and can reach $35,000 for complex cut-ups or HOA-specified profiles. Repairs run $450 to $1,850 depending on what is actually damaged.

The Wildfire Factor: Why Bastrop Roofing Quotes Look Different
Bastrop has the highest concentration of mix-and-match roofing in Central Texas. Drive through any neighborhood off Loop 150 and you will see it: a post-2011 fire rebuild with a standing-seam metal roof sitting directly next to an original 1980s three-tab shingle roof with a tarp hugging the ridge. A roofer who bids by roof age alone will completely misread this market. The metal roof next door is not older or younger than the three-tab next to it. It is a rebuild, installed under post-fire code, and it needs different inspection than the original roof beside it.
So our crews diagnose not just the roof age but the wildfire-era retrofit quality on every single block. Was the rebuild done with ember-rated underlayment? Did the contractor reuse old decking? Did they install the required Class A assembly or just a metal skin over old felt? Those questions matter in Bastrop. They do not matter in Austin, which is why an Austin-flavored quote often misses what a Bastrop roof actually needs.
We were called to Tahitian Village after a hail storm exposed a 1987 three-tab roof with original 3/8-inch plywood decking. Our crew replaced the rotting decking, added a full ice and water shield at all valleys and penetrations, and installed Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles with a high-profile ridge vent, bringing the home up to current wind and impact standards without disturbing the original fascia. That is what a correct Bastrop quote looks like: the decking, the shield, the ventilation, the wind rating.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Bastrop
Bastrop’s history changes the underlayment and drip edge requirements before it changes anything about the shingle itself. Homes in fire-exposed areas like Tahitian Village or the pine stands along Highway 21 should have ember-resistant underlayment and properly sealed eaves, regardless of whether the roof is metal or asphalt. Austin roofs rarely warrant this level of ember defense. We write the fire-rated assembly into every Bastrop quote where the property sits in a wildfire-exposed zone. Call (361) 202-8874 to have us walk your roof for ember vulnerability.
Expect the quote to separate shingle replacement from decking replacement and to include a decking inspection before any number is final. Most 1980s ranch homes in Bastrop have some level of water damage at the valleys, the chimneys, or the eaves, and that wood has to come out. We price decking per sheet, typically $80 to $140, and we show you exactly where the rot is before we ask you to sign. If a bidder refuses to discuss decking or buries it in a vague “wood replacement as needed” line, do not hire them.
Yes. The Colony, Riverside Grove, and parts of Hunters Crossing have architectural review committees that can require specific shingle colors, profiles, or metal roof types. The wrong profile can trigger a forced re-roof after review. We pull the HOA spec before we write your quote so the material already matches what the committee wants. That avoids the expensive re-do and keeps the job off your neighbor’s ring camera for the wrong reasons.
The “Bastrop patch” is the visible mix of post-2011 fire rebuilds with metal roofs sitting next to original 1980s shingle roofs that are failing unevenly. It is not an official zoning term; it is what roofers say when they pull up to a block and see three different roof generations within sight of the same curb. It matters because a one-size-fits-all quote cannot price that block correctly. We pull each roof’s actual material, decking, and underlayment, not the neighbor’s roof as a stand-in.
Yes, in most cases. The builder’s structural warranty typically remains with the home, not the roof, and upgrading shingles or underlayment does not void it so long as the ventilation design stays within the manufacturer’s spec. What can void it is an unlicensed crew altering the roof decking or attic ventilation without documentation. We keep written records of every change and install to the shingle manufacturer’s published requirements. Call (361) 202-8874 and we will walk through the warranty question before you remove a single shingle.
