98 Roofing Companies in Austin, Texas

We don’t yet have enough itemized residential roofing permits in Austin to publish a reliable local cost range.

As more Austin permits come on record, we’ll show the local range here.

Of the 26 companies we track in Austin, 3 have an active contractor license located in public records, 8 are registered business entities, and 17 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. Texas does not issue a statewide roofing license, so roofing is regulated at the city or county level - confirm licensing with the local building department rather than expecting a state license number. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

The roofers we track in Austin have been in business a median of 9 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is WaterTight Roofing, in business since 1981 (45 years); 0 were formed less than two years ago. A verifiable formation date and registered agent on file is one of the clearest lines between an established local company and a transient operator.

Travis County has recorded 227 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 3" and wind gusts to 85 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 26 of the roofers we track are based in Austin itself, alongside 72 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

13 of the 26 roofers we track in Austin hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is Owens Corning, held by 8 companies - versus 51% certified across Texas. Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Across the 26 companies we track in Austin, the average rating is 4.8★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 22 appear on more than one platform and 19 have owners who actively respond to reviews. Look for steady, recent, multi-source ratings over a handful of old five-star reviews on one site - any single platform can be cherry-picked.
