Del Valle is the large unincorporated area of southeast Travis County around Austin-Bergstrom airport, Highway 71 East and SH-130, with big new subdivisions, older neighborhoods off FM 973 and Ross Road, and acreage along the Colorado River.
Del Valle has more roofs going on than almost any part of the region right now. The subdivisions along SH-130, Highway 71 East, Ross Road and Pearce Lane went up between 2015 and 2024 with production builders at full speed, and the same shortcuts show up on every street: felt underlayment, box vents instead of ridge ventilation, high-nailed shingles and pipe boots that split by year five. Those are repairs now and replacements in ten years, and knowing which is which is the whole job.
Older Del Valle, the neighborhoods off FM 973 and Elroy Road and the acreage along the river, has 1970s to 1990s roofs on their second or third install, a lot of manufactured homes with metal roofs, and outbuildings everywhere. Del Valle is unincorporated, so there is no city re-roof permit outside the Austin-annexed pockets, and only the newest subdivisions have HOAs. It sits on the Blackland Prairie clay with the same hail track as Manor, and the flat open ground gives wind a clean run.

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.
A Del Valle replacement is either an older roof off FM 973 or Elroy Road coming off with decking work, or a builder roof from the 2010s that hail finished early: full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, real ventilation, and a Class 4 shingle nailed for the wind this open ground gets.
Shingle roofing in Del Valle is doing what the production builders skipped: synthetic underlayment, ridge and intake ventilation, six nails per shingle, and a Class 4 shingle for the hail track that runs through here.
Metal roofing in Del Valle is manufactured homes, shops and barns along the river and the county roads: repair and re-fastening on older panels, and new R-panel or standing seam, often retrofitted over the old roof.
Del Valle is building faster than anywhere on the east side, and we roof custom homes, additions, shops and barns along the county roads, in shingle or metal, coordinated with the builder or owner-builder.
Free inspections in Del Valle are often for a home purchase in the new subdivisions, where the builder roof needs a second look, or after a storm crosses 130. We walk the roof, check the attic, and give you photos and a plain answer.
Del Valle roof repair is mostly young subdivision roofs with split boots, lifted ridge caps and short wall flashing, plus older roofs off FM 973 with worn valleys and layered shingles. We fix the entry point, match the shingle, and are honest about which roofs are done.
Del Valle leaks on the new roofs are boots and flashing; on the older ones they are valleys and chimneys. We trace from the attic, fix what is actually leaking, and check the rest.
Del Valle is on the same hail track as Manor, and the big new subdivisions get hit as a block. We inspect every slope, photograph bruising with the storm date, and tell you honestly whether your roof took damage or your neighbor's did.
Wind damage in Del Valle is lifted shingles and ridge caps on flat exposed lots and lifted laps on manufactured-home metal. We repair nailed and fastened for wind.
Del Valle claims are hail on young roofs, where adjusters look hard at installation versus storm damage. We document honestly, meet the adjuster, and build to the approved scope.
Commercial roofing in Del Valle is the warehouses, distribution and industrial buildings around the airport and along SH-130 and 71, mostly large TPO and metal roofs. We inspect, core, repair and maintain, and schedule around operations.
The warehouse and distribution buildings around the Del Valle airport corridor are largely TPO. We repair seams, drains and curbs, replace wet sections, and install new TPO on additions and re-roofs.
Flat roof repair in Del Valle is the industrial and warehouse stock along 130 and 71: ponding, seams, drains and curb flashing on TPO and modified bitumen. We repair and water test.
Commercial metal roofing in Del Valle is the industrial and ag buildings along 71 and the county roads: fastener replacement and lap resealing on R-panel, panel replacement after hail, and retrofits when the roof is done.
Commercial roof inspections in Del Valle cover the warehouse and industrial buildings around the airport, many of them large single-slope TPO roofs where a twice-yearly inspection catches drain and seam problems early. We map, core and report per building.
We look, photograph and explain before anything is sold.

FAQ
Del Valle Roofing FAQs
Do I need a permit to re-roof in Del Valle?
Most of Del Valle is unincorporated Travis County, so there is generally no city permit. Some pockets are inside Austin city limits, and we confirm for your address.
My Del Valle subdivision roof is under ten years old. Repair or replace?
Almost always repair at that age: boots, ridge caps, flashing. The roof itself usually has years left, and we tell you plainly when it does not.
Do you work on manufactured homes in Del Valle?
Yes. Metal and shingle roofs on manufactured homes, plus the shops and outbuildings on the same property, priced per building.
