• What roofing services do you offer?

• How can I tell if my roof has problems?

  Some signs are obvious: missing shingles, visible leaks, or water stains on your ceiling. Others are harder to spot, like hail damage or failing flashing. If you're not sure, the safest thing to do is schedule a free inspection. Catching problems early almost always means a less expensive fix.

• Does my roof need to be replaced if I spot a leak?

  Not necessarily. A single leak in one area can often be repaired without replacing the whole roof. However, if you're seeing multiple leaks, the roof is over 20 years old, or the damage is widespread, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll always give you our honest assessment.

• How long should my roof last?

  In Texas, most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–25 years, though our intense heat and frequent hail can shorten that. Metal roofs can last 40–70 years. The key factor is regular maintenance — catching small issues early dramatically extends your roof's lifespan. We offer free annual inspections to help you stay ahead of problems.

• Can RoofsOnly.com help with my insurance claim?

  Absolutely. We work with insurance companies every day and know how to document damage properly so your claim reflects the full scope of what needs to be repaired or replaced. We'll work directly with your adjuster and make the process as smooth as possible for you.

• How long does a roof replacement take?

  Most residential roof replacements in Austin are done in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two. Your crew stays on site until the job is finished, not spread across multiple visits.

• What's the difference between a roof repair and a full replacement?

  A repair fixes one damaged area. A replacement resets the whole system: deck, underlayment, flashing, and shingles together. If your roof is past 20 years old or you have recurring leaks in the same spot, replacement is usually the right call.

• Does insurance cover storm and hail damage?

  Usually, if the damage is storm-related and your policy covers wind and hail, which most standard Texas homeowner policies do. Coverage depends on your specific policy, your deductible, and how the damage is documented. RoofsOnly provides a free inspection with photo documentation you can hand directly to your adjuster, and we'll walk the claim with you from filing to final approval.

• Do I need a permit for roof work in Austin?

  Not necessarily. However, some municipalities in the Austin metro require a permit for a full roof replacement, though requirements vary by city. RoofsOnly handles the permit process as part of your project so you don't have to deal with the city yourself.

• How do I know the repair actually fixed the problem?

  We document the damage we find with photos before we touch anything, and we document the completed work the same way. You get both, not just an invoice.
