Why Round Rock Roofs Need to Be Built Differently
Williamson County's Roofing Challenges
Texas recorded a 167% increase in hail events in 2024 compared to the previous year. Round Rock sits directly in the most active corridor. Standard roofing simply isn't designed for this level of exposure. Here's what your new roof needs to withstand:
Catastrophic Hail Events
Impact: The September 2023 storm produced baseball-sized hail and caused $300 million in Williamson County damage. Standard architectural shingles sustain damage that shortens their lifespan dramatically—some roofs failed completely in a single event.
Our Solution: We recommend impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles for Round Rock homes. They cost 15-20% more upfront but withstand hail that destroys standard shingles, often qualifying for insurance discounts of 10-28%. For maximum protection, standing seam metal dents but doesn't fail.
High-Velocity Winds
Impact: Severe thunderstorms bring 60-80 mph gusts multiple times per year. Improperly installed roofs experience edge lifting, shingle loss, and progressive failure. Once one shingle lifts, water intrusion begins.
Our Solution: We use high-wind installation methods regardless of code minimum requirements: 6-nail pattern on all shingles, enhanced starter strips, properly secured drip edge. GAF WindProven warranty covers unlimited wind speeds when installed correctly.
Extreme UV & Heat
Impact: Round Rock gets 220+ sunny days per year with UV index regularly exceeding 10. Roof surface temperatures reach 160°F+ in summer. Poor-quality shingles show premature granule loss, cracking, and curling within 10-15 years.
Our Solution: We install premium architectural shingles designed for Texas heat. Timberline HDZ and similar products have reinforced nailing zones, stronger adhesive systems, and better UV resistance than builder-grade materials.
Heavy Rain Events
Impact: When rain comes to Central Texas, it comes hard—2-4 inches in an hour during severe storms. Improper valley and flashing installation leads to water intrusion. Inadequate drainage compounds the problem.
Our Solution: We use ice and water shield in all valleys and critical areas (not just where code requires), proper step flashing techniques, and calculate ventilation requirements for each home.
Thermal Cycling
Impact: Daily temperature swings of 30-50°F stress roofing materials through constant expansion and contraction. Seals fail, flashings pull away, and shingles develop cracks over time.
Our Solution: We use commercial-grade sealants rated for temperature extremes, proper expansion allowances in metal flashings, and SBS-modified shingles when appropriate.
Roof Replacement by Round Rock Neighborhood
Round Rock's diverse housing stock means different replacement considerations. Here's what we typically encounter:
Forest Creek
Established golf course community with homes from late 1990s-2000s. Range from moderate to higher-end properties. Strong HOA with architectural standards.
Many original roofs are now 20-30 years old—at or past replacement age regardless of storm damage. Complex architectural styles in higher-end areas require careful material selection. HOA requires pre-approval—we handle documentation.
Behrens Ranch
Upscale subdivision with larger homes on generous lots. Private, secluded feel. Premium finishes throughout.
Higher home values justify premium materials—designer shingles or standing seam metal are appropriate. Complex roof designs require experienced crews. When replacement is needed, matching the community quality level matters.
Brushy Creek Area (Woods, Meadows, Park at)
Popular family-friendly neighborhoods with homes from various eras. Mix of 1980s-2000s construction. Strong community feel.
Older sections have roofs at or past replacement age. Some 1980s construction may have skip sheathing (spaced boards)—we assess during inspection. Newer sections may have builder-grade materials worth upgrading during replacement.
Cat Hollow
Established community with good schools and amenities. Mix of ages and price points. Family-oriented.
Storm damage combined with age often tips older roofs toward replacement. We see a mix of original roofs and first-cycle replacements. Good community for impact-resistant upgrades to avoid future cycles.
Teravista
Master-planned community spanning Round Rock and Georgetown. Newer construction (2010s-present). Range of product types.
Newer roofs may have warranty coverage—verify before assuming replacement is needed. Storm damage on recent construction is usually clearly identifiable. Consider impact-resistant upgrade during insurance-covered replacement.
Star Ranch
Established master-planned community in southeast Round Rock. Mix of ages with ongoing new construction. Good schools.
Older sections may be due for replacement. Newer areas should verify warranty status before paying out-of-pocket. HOA standards apply—we handle documentation.
Round Rock Roof Replacement Costs
Roof replacement cost depends on size, materials, and complexity. Here's what Round Rock homeowners typically invest:
Architectural Shingles (Standard)
$14,000 - $21,000
Most popular choice. GAF Timberline HDZ or equivalent. 25-30 year manufacturer warranty, up to 50-year with proper installation. Good balance of cost, appearance, and performance.
Impact-Resistant (Class 4)
$17,000 - $26,000
Recommended for Round Rock's hail exposure. GAF Armor Shield II or equivalent. Designed to withstand hail that destroys standard shingles. Potential insurance discounts of 10-28% offset the higher cost.
Designer/Premium Shingles
$21,000 - $32,000
Higher-end appearance with improved performance. Grand Canyon, Camelot, or similar. Thicker profiles, enhanced warranties. Appropriate for Behrens Ranch, Forest Creek estates.
Standing Seam Metal
$28,000 - $48,000
Ultimate hail resistance—dents but doesn't fail. 40-60 year lifespan. Lowest lifecycle cost despite highest upfront investment. Excellent for long-term homeowners.
Metal Shingles/Stone-Coated Steel
$23,000 - $38,000
Metal durability with shingle appearance. Good option for HOAs that don't allow standing seam aesthetics. Impact resistant and long-lasting.

Local Note: We can show you examples of our work throughout Round Rock—likely within a few minutes of your home.
Scheduling & Permits
We schedule your project, order materials, and handle City of Round Rock permit applications. Most permits process within 5-7 business days.
Local Note: Round Rock requires permits for roof replacement. We handle the entire process and schedule the required inspection.
Project Day Preparation
The day before installation, we confirm weather conditions and delivery timing. We ask you to clear vehicles from the driveway and move fragile items away from exterior walls.

Roofing Materials for Round Rock
Material choice significantly impacts how your roof performs in Williamson County's challenging climate. Here's our honest assessment:
GAF Timberline HDZ
Why for Round Rock
The most popular architectural shingle in America. StrikeZone nailing area reduces installation error. LayerLock technology creates the flat appearance of more expensive shingles. Good wind and algae resistance.
Best For
Budget-conscious homeowners wanting quality that lasts 25-30+ years
Considerations
Not impact-rated. In Round Rock's hail environment, you may face replacement again after a major storm. Consider Class 4 upgrade if budget allows.
GAF Armor Shield II (Class 4)
Why for Round Rock
Our top recommendation for Round Rock. Impact-resistant rating means it withstands hail that destroys standard shingles. SBS-modified asphalt stays flexible in heat and cold. Most insurers offer 10-28% discounts for Class 4 shingles.
Best For
Homeowners who want to stop worrying about hail damage
Considerations
Costs 15-20% more than standard architectural. Insurance discounts often offset this difference within 3-5 years. Limited color selection compared to non-impact shingles.
Designer Shingles (Grand Canyon, Camelot)
Why for Round Rock
Premium appearance that elevates curb appeal. Thicker construction provides some improved durability. Available in distinctive styles that mimic wood shake or slate.
Best For
Upscale homes in Behrens Ranch, Forest Creek, or when resale value is a priority
Considerations
Higher cost for primarily aesthetic benefits. Some designer options are not impact-rated—check specifications if hail resistance matters.
Standing Seam Metal
Why for Round Rock
The ultimate hail-resistant roofing. Metal dents from hail but doesn't lose function—unlike shingles that crack and lose granules. 40-60 year lifespan with minimal maintenance. Reflects heat, reducing cooling costs.
Best For
Homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term and wanting maximum durability
Considerations
Highest upfront cost. Lowest lifecycle cost. Noise during rain (can be mitigated with proper underlayment). Not every HOA permits standing seam aesthetics.
Stone-Coated Steel
Why for Round Rock
Combines metal durability with traditional shingle appearance. Impact-resistant, long-lasting, and typically approved by HOAs that reject standing seam.
Best For
HOA-restricted neighborhoods where standing seam isn't allowed but metal durability is desired
Considerations
More expensive than asphalt, less expensive than standing seam. Quality varies by manufacturer—we specify quality brands.
Why Round Rock Homeowners Choose Lapeyre Roofing
A roof replacement is a major investment. Here's why Round Rock families trust us with their homes:
GAF Master Elite Certification
Only 2% of roofing contractors nationwide earn GAF Master Elite status. This certification requires proven installation quality, ongoing training, and customer satisfaction standards. It unlocks warranty options unavailable through other contractors—including 50-year coverage.
Built for Central Texas
We install every roof expecting it to face major hail, 70+ mph winds, and 160°F surface temperatures. Our installation methods exceed code minimums because code minimums aren't designed for Round Rock's weather reality.
Post-Storm Experience
We've helped hundreds of Round Rock homeowners after major storms, including the September 2023 event. We know how to document damage for insurance, navigate the claims process, and execute replacements efficiently.
Transparent Pricing
Our estimates itemize everything—no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. If we find decking damage during tear-off, we show you before proceeding and charge only what we quoted.
Clean, Respectful Crews
Our crews are employees, not subcontractors—trained to our standards and accountable to us. They protect your landscaping, clean up thoroughly, and treat your property with respect.
Our Experience in Round Rock
We've replaced roofs throughout Round Rock—from established neighborhoods like Forest Creek and Brushy Creek to newer developments in Teravista and Star Ranch. The September 2023 storm was devastating, dropping baseball-sized hail and causing $300 million in damage to Williamson County.
In the months following that storm, we deployed multiple crews across Round Rock. We helped homeowners navigate insurance claims, documented damage thoroughly, and executed replacements as quickly as material availability allowed. That experience reinforced what we already knew: Round Rock needs roofs built for this climate, not roofs built to minimum code.
The homes that performed best in September 2023 had either impact-resistant materials, quality installation, or both. The ones that failed catastrophically were often newer but built with builder-grade materials to minimum standards. We approach every Round Rock replacement knowing it needs to survive the next September storm—and the one after that.
We've also navigated Round Rock's major HOAs. Forest Creek, Star Ranch, Behrens Ranch—we know their requirements, their approval processes, and how to document submissions correctly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Round Rock?
Most Round Rock homes (2,000-3,000 sq ft) complete in 1-2 days. Larger homes or complex roofs may take 2-3 days. Weather can affect timing—we won't start a project if rain is likely.
Will insurance cover my Round Rock roof replacement?
If your roof has documented storm damage (hail, wind), insurance typically covers replacement minus your deductible. We provide detailed documentation with photos and measurements. For roofs at end-of-life from normal wear, insurance generally doesn't cover replacement.
Should I get an impact-resistant roof in Round Rock?
We recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for most Round Rock homes. The 15-20% higher cost is often offset by insurance discounts (10-28%) within 3-5 years. More importantly, you avoid post-storm repairs and claims. Given Round Rock's hail frequency, it's usually the smarter investment.
What warranty options are available?
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we offer: System Plus (10-year workmanship + 50-year materials), Silver Pledge (25-year workmanship + 50-year materials), and Golden Pledge (50-year workmanship + 50-year materials). Golden Pledge is transferable.
Does Round Rock require permits for roof replacement?
Yes. The City of Round Rock requires permits for roof replacement. We handle the entire permit process—application, fees, and scheduling inspection. Never use a contractor who suggests skipping permits.
How do I handle Forest Creek HOA approval?
We handle Forest Creek documentation for you. We submit material specifications, color samples, and required forms. Forest Creek has specific approved colors and styles—we ensure compliance. Approval typically takes 1-2 weeks.
What happens if you find damaged decking?
We disclose our per-sheet decking repair rate upfront (typically $75-150 per 4x8 sheet). If we discover damage during tear-off, we show you before repairing. Decking repair is common on older Round Rock homes—we find damage on about 30% of replacements.
Is it too late to claim September 2023 storm damage?
Possibly. Insurance policies have claim deadlines, typically 1-2 years from the event. If you suspect unclaimed damage from September 2023, get an inspection and contact your insurer immediately to verify coverage.
Can I see examples of your work in Round Rock?
Yes. We've completed projects throughout Round Rock and can show you installations in most neighborhoods including Forest Creek, Brushy Creek, and Cat Hollow.
What's the best time of year for roof replacement?
Any season works, but spring and fall are ideal—moderate temperatures and fewer weather delays. Summer heat doesn't prevent installation but requires early starts. Avoid peak storm season if possible—demand spikes and scheduling is harder.
