Bastrop is historic downtown blocks on the Colorado River, hillside neighborhoods under the Lost Pines like Tahitian Village and Circle D, and new subdivisions filling in along Highway 71.
Bastrop roofs live under trees. Tahitian Village, Circle D-KC Estates and the neighborhoods off Highway 21 sit in the Lost Pines, and a roof there deals with pine needles packing the valleys, limbs coming down in wind, and shade that keeps shingles damp and grows moss and algae on the north slopes. The 2011 Bastrop County Complex fire is still part of how people here think about roofs, and Class A fire-rated materials matter to a lot of homeowners. Downtown Bastrop has homes from the 1800s and early 1900s with steep pitches, original decking, and roofs that have been re-covered several times.
Outside the pines, the newer subdivisions like Hunters Crossing, Pecan Park and The Colony are production-builder roofs from the 2000s and 2010s, on sandy soil that moves less than the Blackland clay to the west but with the same spring hail and the same thin builder shingles. Bastrop is a regular part of our week.

Roof replacement, shingles, metal and inspections
New roofs installed to the manufacturer spec, not the builder spec, with the underlayment, flashing and ventilation that make a roof last in Central Texas heat and hail.
Replacing a roof in Tahitian Village or Circle D means dealing with the trees first: clearing the roof, checking for limb damage to decking, and choosing a shingle or metal panel that sheds pine needles and carries a Class A fire rating. In Hunters Crossing and Pecan Park it is a standard builder-roof replacement done to spec. Downtown, expect old layers and decking work.
Shingle roofing under the Lost Pines needs a Class A fire rating and a design that sheds needles: clean valleys, proper underlayment and ventilation. We install architectural and Class 4 shingles that meet both, and are honest when metal would serve a wooded lot better.
Metal is a natural fit in the Lost Pines. Standing seam sheds needles and limbs better than shingles, carries a Class A fire rating, and does not grow moss. On acreage properties off Highway 21 and Highway 95 we roof homes, shops and barns with standing seam or R-panel.
New construction around Bastrop is custom homes and barndominiums on wooded acreage, plus additions to homes in Tahitian Village and Circle D. We dry in on the framer's schedule and finish in Class A shingle or metal.
A free inspection in Bastrop includes the parts a homeowner cannot see under the trees: the valleys, the north slope, and the attic side for moisture where debris has held water. We photograph everything and tell you what to fix now and what to watch.
Bastrop repairs are often tree-related: a puncture from a limb, a valley that rotted under years of packed needles, or moss lifting shingles on a shaded slope. We repair the damage, clear the valleys, and point out the limbs that will cause the next one.
Bastrop leaks are pine needles as often as anything: valleys packed with debris hold water against the shingles until it finds a nail hole. We clear and repair the valley, check for limb punctures, and look at the boots and flashing while we are up there.
Wind is the bigger storm risk in the pines; it brings limbs down on roofs and lifts shingles on exposed slopes. Hail hits the open subdivisions along Highway 71 the same way it hits Manor. We document both, tarp active leaks, and handle repair or replacement to the approved scope.
Wind damage in Bastrop comes with trees: gusts through the Lost Pines bring limbs down on roofs and lift shingles under the canopy. We repair limb punctures and blown-off sections, replace creased shingles, and document it for a claim when the damage is widespread.
Bastrop emergencies are trees. A pine limb through the decking in Tahitian Village or Circle D, or a wind front lifting shingles under the canopy, and water is in the house. We secure the opening, tarp it properly, document the damage, and do the permanent repair once it is dry.
Bastrop claims are often wind and tree damage rather than hail. We document limb impact, punctures and wind-lifted shingles, note the storm date, meet the adjuster, and do the repair or replacement to the approved scope.
Bastrop's commercial roofs are the historic buildings downtown, retail and medical along Highway 71 and Highway 95, churches, and the newer shopping centers near the hospital. We inspect flat and metal roofs, take cores where needed, and give owners written options that fit how long they plan to keep the building.
TPO covers most of the newer retail and medical buildings along Highway 71 in Bastrop, and pine debris in the drains is a common cause of ponding and leaks. We clear and repair drains and seams, replace wet sections, and install new TPO on flat re-roofs.
Flat roof repair in Bastrop covers the historic downtown buildings with low-slope sections and the newer retail along Highway 71. Pine debris clogging drains is the most common cause of ponding here. We clear, repair and water test.
Commercial metal roofing in Bastrop is shops, churches and ag buildings on the county roads, plus retrofits on flat retail roofs along 71. We replace fasteners and panels on older metal and install new standing seam and R-panel.
Commercial roof inspections in Bastrop cover the historic downtown buildings, retail and medical along 71, and churches. Pine debris in drains is the most common problem we find. We map, core where needed, and report honestly.

FAQ
Bastrop Roofing FAQs
Do you handle roofs under heavy tree cover?
Yes, and it changes the job: we clear the valleys, check for limb damage, and talk about trimming and about materials that shed debris better. Metal is often a good answer in the pines.
Can you put a Class A fire-rated roof on my Bastrop home?
Yes. Most asphalt shingle systems and metal roofs carry a Class A rating when installed as a system. We will show you the documentation for what you choose.
