What a Full Roof Replacement Includes
A new roof is more than new shingles. Every roof replacement in Bastrop, TX we install follows the same sequence:
- Protect the property — tarps over landscaping, magnetic sweeps staged, driveway and A/C units covered.
- Tear off to the deck — all old layers removed so we can see the condition of the wood.
- Decking repair — soft, delaminated or rotted sheathing replaced.
- Underlayment and ice-and-water barrier — synthetic underlayment across the deck and self-adhered membrane in valleys and around penetrations.
- New flashing, drip edge and pipe boots — we do not reuse worn metal.
- Ventilation — balanced intake and exhaust so attic heat does not cook the new roof from below.
- Roof covering and ridge — shingles or metal installed to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Cleanup and walkthrough — magnetic nail sweep, debris haul-off, and photos of the finished roof.
Choosing the Right Roof for Bastrop
Most homes in Hunters Crossing, Piney Ridge and other Bastrop subdivisions are built with architectural asphalt shingles, and a quality shingle roof is still the best value for many owners. Rural properties on acreage outside town, and homeowners in the Lost Pines who want better fire resistance and a longer service life, often move up to metal roofing.
We price both options side by side so you can compare. Our metal vs. shingle calculator shows the long-term cost difference, and our roof replacement cost calculator gives you a planning range before we ever climb a ladder.
Insurance Claims and Storm Replacements
If hail or wind damaged the whole roof, your homeowner's policy may cover replacement. We document the damage with photos and measurements, can meet the adjuster on site, and build the roof to the scope your claim approves. Policies and deductibles vary, so we always recommend reading yours and talking with your agent. See our hail damage roof repair page for how the process works.
How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take?
Most single-family homes in Bastrop are replaced in one to two days once materials are delivered. Larger, steeper or more complex roofs, and most metal installations, can take longer. Weather is the main variable — we will not tear off a roof with rain in the forecast, and we dry the roof in at the end of every working day.
