FAQ

Roof replacement in Austin, answered.

How do I know it is time to replace the roof?

Common signs are widespread curling or missing shingles, granule loss in gutters, leaks in more than one spot, daylight in the attic, or a roof near 20 to 25 years old for asphalt shingles.

Can a new roof go over the old one?

Some codes allow a second layer of shingles, but many roofers prefer a tear-off so the decking can be inspected. Ask what your local code and the manufacturer allow.

Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Austin?

Many cities and counties require a building permit for roof work; the roofing company normally pulls it. Ask who is responsible and request a copy. Check with the Scott County building department for local rules.

Is this service free?

Yes. RoofersNearMeHub is free for homeowners. Roofing companies that receive your request may pay us for the introduction; you are never obliged to hire anyone.
