Roof Replacement Cost in Austin, 2026: What to Expect by Roof Type

Architectural composition: commonly $425 to $700 per square installed, so $9,500 to $19,000 for the 25 to 35 squares on most homes. Includes tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, drip edge, new pipe boots, ridge vent, and haul-off.

Class 4 impact-resistant: commonly $500 to $800 per square. Often partly offset by insurance discounts and worth it north of the city.

Standing-seam metal: commonly $950 to $1,700 per square, or $26,000 to $48,000 or more for a typical home. Common in Lakeway, Leander, and Hill Country lots.

Add-ons: second-layer tear-off, decking replacement per sheet, gutters, skylights, and permits. Hill Country lots with long driveways can add delivery and crane logistics.

Size, pitch, and complexity. Every valley, dormer, and penetration adds labor. Two-story homes cost more to work on.

What's underneath. Rot around old leaks is discovered during tear-off and priced per sheet. Get the per-sheet price in writing.

Timing. After spring hail, prices and wait times climb across the region. Fall and winter are the calmest times to replace by choice.

Insurance. On a covered hail claim, your out-of-pocket is your deductible, commonly 1 to 2 percent of dwelling coverage on Texas policies, and the insurer's scope sets the price.

Compare the same shingle line and scope. Quotes should name the shingle, underlayment, ventilation, flashing plan, decking price per sheet, permit, and both warranties.

Verify the roofer: physical Austin-area address, liability insurance certificate, references from the past year. Texas doesn't license roofers.
