Cedar Creek is the fast-growing unincorporated stretch of Bastrop County along Highway 71 between Austin and Bastrop, with new subdivisions, acreage homes and the older neighborhoods around FM 535 and Cedar Creek High School.
Cedar Creek has grown faster than almost anywhere in Bastrop County in the last ten years, and most of its housing is new: production subdivisions off Highway 71 and FM 812 with 2015 to 2023 builder roofs, plus a lot of custom and manufactured homes on acreage along FM 535, FM 1704 and the county roads. Those young subdivision roofs already show the standard problems, split pipe boots, lifted ridge caps and wall flashing that stops short, because they went up fast; the acreage properties are mostly metal, with fasteners and laps that need attention after a decade of wind.
The ground here is sandy and post-oak country rather than Blackland clay, so foundations move less, but the trees and the exposure matter: post oaks and cedars pack valleys and drop limbs, and the open stretches along 71 take wind and hail head-on. Cedar Creek is unincorporated, so there is no city re-roof permit, and there are few HOAs outside the newest subdivisions. A lot of homeowners here ask about metal, and for the acreage properties it is often the better long-term roof.

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 Cedar Creek roof is usually either a worn metal roof on an acreage home, often done as a retrofit over the old panels, or an older shingle roof near FM 535 that has run out of life: full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, ventilation and a Class 4 shingle or new metal.
Shingle roofing in Cedar Creek is replacing worn roofs on the older homes and re-shingling subdivision homes with a Class 4 shingle, proper underlayment and real ventilation, nailed for the wind that crosses 71.
Metal is the natural roof for Cedar Creek acreage: standing seam or R-panel on the house and the shop together, often installed as a retrofit over an old metal roof with no tear-off.
Cedar Creek is still building, and we roof custom homes, barndominiums, shops and barns on acreage along the county roads, in shingle or metal, coordinated with the builder or the owner-builder.
Free inspections in Cedar Creek are often for a home purchase on acreage, where the roof age is unknown, or after a storm crosses 71. We walk the roof, check the attic, and give you photos and a straight remaining-life estimate.
Cedar Creek roof repair splits between young subdivision roofs with split boots and lifted ridge caps and acreage metal with loose fasteners and lifted laps. We match shingles on the first, re-fasten and reseal the second, and price both in writing.
Cedar Creek leaks on the new subdivision roofs are boots and wall flashing; on the acreage metal they are screws and laps. We trace from the attic or the ceiling below, fix the entry point, and check the rest of the roof.
Cedar Creek sits at the edge of the eastern Travis County hail corridor. We inspect every slope after a storm, photograph bruising with the storm date, and tell you honestly whether a claim makes sense.
Wind damage in Cedar Creek is lifted shingles and ridge caps on the open stretches along 71 and lifted laps on acreage metal. We repair both nailed and fastened for wind, and document widespread damage for a claim.
Cedar Creek claims are hail and wind, often on young roofs where the carrier will look closely at installation defects versus storm damage. We document honestly, meet the adjuster, and build to the approved scope.
Commercial roofing in Cedar Creek is the retail, storage and service buildings along Highway 71 and the ag and shop buildings on the county roads, mostly metal with some TPO on the newer retail. We repair, re-fasten, replace and retrofit.
Flat roof repair in Cedar Creek is the newer retail and storage buildings along 71 with TPO membranes: seams, drains and curbs. We repair and water test.

FAQ
Cedar Creek Roofing FAQs
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Cedar Creek?
Cedar Creek is unincorporated Bastrop County, so there is generally no city re-roof permit. Newer subdivisions may have an HOA color rule, and we check.
Do you work on manufactured homes and metal roofs in Cedar Creek?
Yes. Metal repair and replacement on acreage homes, shops and barns is a regular part of our work here, and we roof the house and outbuildings together when it makes sense.
My Cedar Creek roof is only six years old and has problems. Is that normal?
Unfortunately common. The subdivisions went up fast with builder-grade shingles and minimal ventilation. Boots, ridge caps and flashing at six to eight years are repairs, not a replacement, and we tell you which you have.
