Roof Replacement in Austin, Houston, New Orleans & St. Louis
A new roof is a big purchase, and most of the risk hides in what the estimate leaves out. We start with a written scope. It lists the roof system, flashing, ventilation, disposal, and how we price rotten decking if we find it during tear-off. We document the roof at set points during the job and hand you the closeout records when we finish.
Choose your market
After a storm, we record damage with photos and measurements you can share with your insurance carrier. We also take on roofs many crews turn down: historic slate, Ludowici clay tile, copper, and standing seam metal. We're a certified FORTIFIED roofer, and we build roofs to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard.

Repair or replace? Signs to look for
Age alone does not decide it. Look at what is failing and how far it has spread. Read the signs that call for an inspection or a new roof, then compare repair and replacement evidence before you get bids.
- Leaks that come back after repairs
- Shingles curling, cracking, or losing granules across many slopes
- Soft or sagging spots in the roof deck
- Storm damage spread across the roof, not in one spot
How a Lapeyre roof replacement works
- 1
Measure
We measure roof area, pitch, and access, and count the layers that have to come off.
- 2
Written scope
Your scope lists the roof system, flashing, ventilation, and disposal. Your contract lists a per-sheet price for each decking type: CDX plywood, OSB, and plank board. Those rates track the lumber market, so they're set when you sign, not guessed after tear-off.
- 3
Tear-off and deck check
If we find bad decking during tear-off, we photograph it and show you before we replace it. Some homeowners set a limit in writing, like 'only call me if changes go over $5,000.' We follow whatever you choose.
- 4
Install
We install the system in your scope and photograph set checkpoints before they are covered.
- 5
Final walk and closeout
When the job is done, you get a certificate of completion and our company warranty. If your roof system carries a manufacturer warranty, you get that document too. FORTIFIED jobs also get the FORTIFIED Roof certificate, and wind mitigation paperwork where it applies.
Roof replacement questions
Short answers, with links to the full guides.
How much does a roof replacement cost?
There is no honest flat price. The number depends on measured roof area, pitch, access, the layers coming off, and the system you pick. Flashing, ventilation, disposal, and any rotten decking found during tear-off add to it. Ask every roofer to price the same written scope, so you compare like with like. For local numbers, see Austin roof replacement cost factors and what drives New Orleans replacement quotes.
What happens if the crew finds rotten decking?
You cannot see the deck until the old roof comes off. A good estimate says up front how damaged decking will be priced, either as an allowance or a price per sheet. Get that in writing before you sign. Ask to see photos of any decking marked for replacement. Read how roof decking allowances work to know what to look for.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Much of the time goes into the steps before the crew arrives: the scope, permits, and material delivery. Weather can also move dates. Most roof replacements take one day. Slate, clay tile, copper, and standing seam metal roofs take longer, and we'll give you a timeline in your scope. See a day-by-day roof replacement timeline for what happens each day.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof?
Your insurance carrier decides that, not the roofer. What we can do is record the damage clearly. After a storm, we take photos and measurements and write up the damaged areas, so your adjuster sees the same evidence we do. Coverage depends on your policy, the cause of the damage, and your deductible. Read how roof insurance claims work before you call your carrier.
What warranty do you offer on roof replacements?
Material and workmanship coverage are separate. Terms depend on the selected product, system, installation requirements, and written warranty. Ask which warranty is included in your estimate, who provides it, and what exclusions or registration requirements apply.
