Central Texas Roofing Expert
Roofing Contractor Serving Round Rock, TX
Round Rock sits in the heart of Williamson County’s hail corridor. The September 2023 storm that brought softball and baseball-sized hail through neighborhoods from Old Town to Cat Hollow to Teravista was the most expensive storm event in Central Texas history. Most Round Rock roofs took some kind of hit. A lot of them are still showing the damage.
Altitude Roofing is GAF Master Elite certified, a credential held by the top 2% of roofing contractors in the country, and we have been working on Central Texas roofs for over 20 years. We document hail and storm damage to the standard insurance adjusters required, we communicate directly with carriers when claims need to be fought, and every replacement we install is handled by our own crew with a manufacturer-backed warranty.
We serve Round Rock homeowners across Old Town, Brushy Creek, Forest Creek, Cat Hollow, Lake Forest, Teravista, Paloma Lake, Carmel, and the rest of the city.

What Roofing in Round Rock Actually Looks Like
Round Rock has a wider spread of housing eras than almost any city in our service area. That spread directly affects what a roof in a given neighborhood needs.
Old Town and the historic district
Round Rock was established in 1854 and the original downtown grid still has limestone storefronts from the 1880s, Craftsman bungalows from the 1920s, Victorian cottages, and mid-century ranches. Roof systems in this district are not uniform. Steep pitches on early frontier homes, shallow porches on Craftsman bungalows, and complex valleys on Victorian-era houses all create flashing and detailed work that requires more careful installation than a tract subdivision roof. Older decking, generations of layered repairs, and non-standard penetrations are common.
Established subdivisions from the 1970s through 1990s
Brushy Creek, Forest Creek, Cat Hollow, and Lake Forest were built out during the 1970s through 1990s. Many of these homes are now on their second or third roof. Roofs replaced in the late 1990s or early 2000s are at or past the end of standard architectural shingle life. After multiple storm seasons and the 2023 hail event, a significant number of these properties need replacement rather than continued patching.
Master-planned communities from the 2000s through 2020s
Teravista, Paloma Lake, Carmel, Madsen Ranch, and the newer phases of Forest Creek were built between roughly 2007 and 2022. Roofs in these neighborhoods are typically 5 to 18 years old. Many were factory-installed builder-grade shingles, which performed adequately until the 2023 hail event exposed the gap between builder-grade and impact-rated material. HOA requirements in some of these communities also specify approved colors and material classes for replacements.
Common Roof Issues We See in Round Rock
Round Rock’s combination of hail exposure, mixed property ages, and tree-lined established neighborhoods produces a recognizable set of roof problems.
Hail bruising and granule loss
The 2023 storm produced hail from 1.5 to nearly 4 inches across most of the city. Even where shingles did not crack outright, the impact stripped granules and softened the mat. Damage on older shingles often shows up as accelerated wear and leaks 12 to 24 months later, not at the moment of impact. This is the single most common issue we document on Round Rock inspections.
Soft-metal hail evidence
Dents on gutters, fascia metal, vent stacks, AC condenser fins, and turbine vents are still visible on a lot of Round Rock properties from the 2023 event. These dents matter because they establish hail size and direction for an insurance claim even when the shingle damage is harder to see from the ground.
Aging architectural shingles
Roofs installed during the 1990s and early 2000s expansion of Brushy Creek, Forest Creek, and Cat Hollow are at or past their service life. Curling, cracking, and sealant strip failure are widespread on these properties. Many are insurance-eligible for replacement after recent storms.
Flashing failures on Old Town homes
Chimney, skylight, and step flashing on Old Town and historic district homes is often older than the current roof covering. Even after a recent reroof, original flashing left in place creates leak paths that take a thorough inspection to find.
Tree damage on established neighborhoods
Brushy Creek, Lake Forest, and Forest Creek have mature live oak and pecan canopy. Limb impact damage, debris-trapped valleys, and granule loss in shaded sections are common, especially after the wind events that often accompany Williamson County hailstorms.
Seasonal Roofing Tips for Round Rock
Hail is the central concern in Round Rock and the calendar should reflect that.
Peak hail season. Williamson County is often the first major population center hit by supercells moving southeast out of the Hill Country. Get a pre-season inspection in February or early March and document the current condition of your roof. If a hail event hits, you have a baseline that helps the insurance claim.
Post-storm window. If your roof took a hit in spring, summer is when delayed leaks start showing up on ceilings. UV exposure also accelerates any granule loss from a recent storm. If you have not had an inspection since the last hail event, this is the time.
Secondary storm season. The September 2023 event is the reminder that Williamson County hail is not confined to spring. Inspect again after any fall storm and clear gutters before leaves drop. Established neighborhoods with mature canopy need this more than newer subdivisions.
Best installation window. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity make for cleaner shingle installation. Insurance-eligible claims from prior storms should be filed and scheduled in this window where possible to avoid the spring backlog.

Why Round Rock Homeowners Choose Altitude Roofing
Round Rock has plenty of roofing contractors. After every major hail event the city sees a wave of out-of-state storm chasers on top of the local options. Here is what matters.
GAF Master Elite certified
Only the top 2% of roofing contractors in the U.S. hold this certification. It requires ongoing training, verified quality standards, and proper licensing - and it unlocks stronger manufacturer warranties than non-certified contractors can offer. For a Round Rock homeowner replacing a roof after a hail claim, this is the difference between a builder-grade installation and a roof system that comes with the strongest warranty backing available.
Insurance claim experience
Edwin holds an all-lines insurance adjuster license. That credential means our damage documentation is built to the standard adjusters require, not generic photos. We have helped Central Texas homeowners win claims that were denied once, twice, even three times before approval. Round Rock had more denied and underpaid claims after the 2023 event than almost any other Central Texas market.
Not storm chasers
After every major Williamson County hail event, out-of-state crews flood Round Rock. They write up jobs, take the deposit, and leave. We are based in Central Texas, have been working here for over 20 years, and stand behind every job long after the work is done.
Own crews, no subcontracting
Every Altitude Roofing installation is handled by our own trained crews. We do not hand your roof off to an unknown subcontractor. That matters for installation quality and it matters for warranty coverage.
160+ five-star Google reviews
Our reviews come from real homeowners describing the actual work and the actual experience. A consistent pattern of quality work and honest assessment, not generic five-star ratings.
EXCELLENT Based on 166 reviews Posted on Google Adam BroughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re a homeowner in the Dripping Springs area dealing with roof issues — storm damage, a nagging leak, or a full replacement — do yourself a favor and call Altitude Roofing. I don’t write reviews often, but my experience here was genuinely exceptional and I felt like I had to share it. Trust is everything when someone’s working on your home, and Altitude Roofing earned mine immediately. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, everything was upfront and consistent. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons, no runaround — just honest, straightforward communication the whole way through. A lot of that comes down to Edwin Nichols, the owner, who handled my project personally. Edwin knows roofing inside and out, and what really set him apart was how he managed the insurance side of things. If you’ve ever tried to navigate a homeowner’s insurance claim for roof damage, you know it can feel completely overwhelming. Edwin took that stress off my plate entirely. He knew exactly how to document the damage, what the insurance company needed to see, and how to communicate with the adjuster to make sure nothing was missed or shortchanged. He was professional, thorough, and clearly had done this many times before. I walked away with a settlement that actually covered the work — and I’m confident I wouldn’t have gotten there on my own. Beyond the insurance process, Edwin is just a pleasure to work with. He answered every question I had in plain English, never made me feel pressured, and gave me his honest recommendation rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear. The fact that he’s the owner and still shows up personally, stays involved, and follows through after the job is done says a lot about the kind of company Altitude Roofing is. The crew was equally impressive — on time, efficient, and they cleaned up completely when they were done. The finished roof looks great and feels solid. I’ve already sent neighbors Edwin’s way, and I’d recommend Altitude Roofing to anyone without hesitation.Posted on Google Tyler DolezalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super helpful and thorough with our inspection. Made a path forward easy to understand.Posted on Google Alex BorellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Altitude after noticing a leak in my roof when it was raining. The owner Edwin took my call and agreed to come check it out as soon as the weather passed as we have a metal roof. Edwin was honest about what repairs were necessary to the roof and chimney and even told me I could do it myself if I wanted to get the supplies from Home Depot but I wanted it done right so I went through with his services. He did a great job and patched everything up for me. Would recommend to anyone in need of roofing repairs or installation.Posted on Google Donald KinseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had them come out to assess a ventilation issue in my attic and couldn't be more impressed. Incredibly knowledgeable, responded fast, and didn't waste my time. They identified the problem quickly and walked me through several options to fix it. No upselling, no runaround, just straight answers and solid solutions. Would highly recommend to anyone needing roofing or ventilation work done right.Posted on Google Eric ChernutaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Edwin with Altitude Roofing come out to service a small leak uncovered during the recent rain. I can highly recommend the company as professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Hopefully we won't need it, but it's nice to know we can call Altitude for further issues. It was also convenient they are close to our neighborhood of Highpoint being close by in Belterra.Posted on Google Aaron SteinmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've called Altitude Roofing out to our new-construction home twice; once for a routine inspection and then a second time after high winds loosened a roof vent. Both times Altitude came out quickly, were straight-forward in their communication, reasonable with their quote, and finished the job promptly. We highly recommend!Posted on Google Craig KnottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Altitude did an amazing job on our roof and went above and beyond, paying close attention to the little details. Roof looks great.Posted on Google Ryan ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a leak coming in through the ceiling and gave Edwin and his team a call. Edwin, himself came out found the problem instantly and fixed. Great services and even gave my son a crash course in roofing. Highly recommend Altitude Roofing!!!Posted on Google J DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 starts for Altitude Roofing. We had a contractor drills holes in our roof for holiday decorations. The minute I realized what happened, I called Altitude. They were quick to show up. Great communication on arrival and on my options to repair. Highly recommend.

Our office is in the Austin metro and we typically reach Round Rock within one to two business days for inspections.
My roof was hit in the 2023 hail storm. Is it too late to file a claim?
Depending on your insurance carrier you may still have time. Texas policies typically allow one to two years from the date of loss to file a claim, but specific deadlines vary by carrier and policy. If you have not had your roof inspected since September 2023, schedule a free inspection. We will document what we find and tell you whether filing is still an option.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Round Rock?
Round Rock replacements typically range from $9,000 to $22,000 or more depending on roof size, pitch, material, and the property’s era. Older homes in Old Town and the historic district often run higher because of complex valleys, custom flashing details, and older decking. Newer subdivision homes typically fall in the middle of the range. We provide a detailed written estimate after a free inspection with no hidden fees.
My home is in a Round Rock HOA. Does that affect my roofing options?
It can. Some Round Rock master-planned communities including parts of Teravista, Paloma Lake, and Forest Creek have HOA guidelines that specify approved materials, color ranges, or impact ratings. We factor these into the estimate from the start and provide the documentation your HOA needs for approval.
