Roof Replacement in Shady Hollow, Austin

The Roof Replacement Company Shady Hollow Homeowners Trust

Shady Hollow is one of south Austin’s most established neighborhoods — and if you’ve lived here a while, you already know the roofs in the area are hitting that age where replacement becomes a real conversation. A lot of the homes off Brodie Lane, Doe Run, and Farwest Boulevard date from the mid-1980s through the late ’90s. That means a whole lot of original roofs are now 25, 30, even 35 years old. That’s well past the expected lifespan of a standard asphalt shingle, and Central Texas weather doesn’t make those roofs last any longer than they should.

At RoofsOnly.com, we focus on one thing — roofing. No gutters, no siding, no windows. Just roofs. And we’ve replaced a lot of them in Shady Hollow and the surrounding south Austin neighborhoods. If you’re starting to notice curling shingles, granules piling up in your gutters, or a few soft spots in the decking, it might be time to talk. We’ll come out for a free inspection, walk you through everything we find, and help you figure out whether a replacement actually makes sense right now — or if you’ve got another season or two left.

Why Shady Hollow Homeowners Need a Reliable Roof Replacement Partner

Shady Hollow has a few things going for it that make roof replacement a little different from other parts of Austin. First, that mature tree canopy. The neighborhood earned its name for a reason — those big live oaks and cedar elms shade most streets, which is great for your AC bill but hard on your roof. Falling limbs, constant debris in valleys, and moisture that lingers under overhanging branches all speed up the wear and tear.

Second, the neighborhood sits in an area that takes the brunt of Hill Country storm systems rolling in from the west. Hail events in Travis County have been more frequent over the last several years, and homes along Brodie, Slaughter, and the pockets near Circle C have all seen their share of damage. A proper roof replacement here needs to account for all of that — the shade-related wear, the occasional hail hit, and the relentless Texas sun that bakes everything for eight months of the year.

We serve Shady Hollow along with the neighboring areas of Circle C Ranch, Bauerle Ranch, Tanglewood Forest, Legend Oaks, Western Oaks, and Maple Run, as well as the broader 78748, 78749, and 78745 zip codes. If you’re somewhere in that stretch of south Austin and thinking about your roof, we’re probably already working on a project a few streets over.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof in Shady Hollow

Not every roof that looks rough actually needs replacement — sometimes a targeted repair will buy you years. But there are a handful of signs that usually mean you’re past the point of patching:

• Age of the roof — If your asphalt shingle roof is 20+ years old, replacement is almost always the smarter long-term call, even if it looks okay from the ground.
• Widespread granule loss — Run your hand along a shingle or check the gutters. If you’re seeing bare asphalt or piles of granules, the shingles have lost their UV protection.
• Curling or cupping shingles — This is the roof telling you the shingle mat has lost its flexibility. Once it starts, it tends to spread fast.
• Sagging or soft decking — If the roof deck feels spongy when we walk it, there’s probably moisture damage underneath. That’s a replacement conversation, not a repair one.
• Active leaks or interior stains — Water in the attic or on ceilings usually means the underlayment has failed. Patching the outside doesn’t fix that.
• Recent storm damage — If hail or wind has hit your roof, it’s worth a free inspection to document everything before filing an insurance claim.

If you’ve got one or two of these showing up, it’s worth a conversation. If you’ve got four or five, it’s probably time.

Our Roof Replacement Process

Every roof replacement we do in Shady Hollow follows the same straightforward process, and we walk you through each step before we ever put a crew on your property:

• Free inspection — We come out, get on the roof, and photograph everything with CompanyCam so you can see exactly what we saw. No mystery, no guesswork.
• Honest recommendation — If you don’t actually need a replacement yet, we’ll tell you. If you do, we’ll explain why and what your options are.
• Material selection — We help you pick the right shingle, metal panel, or flat roof system for your home, your budget, and the look you’re going for.
• Insurance coordination (if applicable) — If storm damage is involved, we handle most of the back-and-forth with your adjuster and make sure nothing gets missed.
• Installation — Tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing, new roof, cleanup. We finish most Shady Hollow homes in one or two days.
• Final walk-through and warranty — We walk the property with you, answer any questions, and hand over the manufacturer warranty plus our workmanship guarantee.

We’ve been doing this long enough to know homeowners don’t want surprises — they want a clear plan, a fair price, and a crew that shows up when they say they will. That’s the whole deal.

Storm Damage Roof Replacements & Insurance Claims in Shady Hollow

South Austin has taken a real beating from hail over the last few storm seasons — including the April 9, 2024 storm that brought hail to neighborhoods along Brodie and Slaughter. If your Shady Hollow home was hit — whether it’s obvious or not — you may have coverage under your homeowner’s policy that’ll pay for a full replacement minus your deductible. A lot of homeowners leave money on the table because they either don’t realize they have damage or don’t know how to file a claim properly.

We help with that. We’ll do a free inspection first, document everything with photos, and give you our honest read on whether there’s enough damage to justify filing. If there is, we can walk you through the claim process, meet your insurance adjuster on-site during the inspection, and make sure the scope of work reflects what actually needs to be done. We’ve worked with every major carrier — State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, and plenty of smaller ones — and we know how they operate.

If your claim gets denied or underpaid, we don’t just shrug and walk away. We can help push for a reinspection and, if it comes to it, the formal appraisal process your policy includes. More on that over on our insurance claim process page.

Roofing Materials We Install in Shady Hollow

Most Shady Hollow homes are architectural shingle roofs, which makes sense — they look great on the mix of traditional and contemporary home styles in the neighborhood, they hold up well in the Texas climate, and they’re cost-effective. But we’re not a shingle-only shop. Here’s what we install most often in the area:

• Asphalt shingles — Architectural shingles from GAF and Owens Corning are our most common install. Class 4 impact-resistant upgrades are available and can earn you an insurance discount in Texas.
• Metal roofing — Standing seam metal is an excellent option for Shady Hollow homes — longer lifespan, better energy efficiency, and it handles hail dramatically better than shingles.
• Stone-coated steel — The look of a traditional shingle or tile roof with the durability of metal. A great middle-ground option.
• Tile roofs — Clay and concrete tile work well on Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. Less common in Shady Hollow specifically, but we install them throughout south Austin.
• Flat and low-slope systems — For homes with modern architecture or patio/addition sections, we install TPO, modified bitumen, and other low-slope systems.

If you’re not sure what material is right for your home, we’ll help you think through it during the free inspection. Every home is a little different.
