Spicewood is the Highway 71 stretch west of Bee Cave along the Pedernales arm of Lake Travis: Briarcliff, Barton Creek Lakeside, Spicewood Trails, and acreage on limestone and cedar.
Spicewood is lake and Hill Country at once. Briarcliff and Windermere Oaks are 1970s through 2000s lake communities with single-story and split-level homes, original decking and aging flashing on the older ones. Barton Creek Lakeside is larger custom homes on the water. Spicewood Trails and the newer developments along Highway 71 are 2010s and 2020s builder and custom roofs, many standing seam. On the ranch roads toward Marble Falls and Round Mountain it is acreage with houses, shops and barns under metal.
The terrain is limestone hills with cedar and live oak, and the lake drives the weather: storms build over Lake Travis and hit Spicewood with wind and hail from the west before reaching Bee Cave. Exposed lake-facing and ridgeline slopes take the worst of it. Wildfire risk is real in the cedar, and Class A roofing matters.

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 Briarcliff or Windermere Oaks replacement usually means old layers off, decking repaired, flashing rebuilt, and a roof chosen for lake wind. In Spicewood Trails and Barton Creek Lakeside it is a custom or builder roof done to spec, often standing seam over high-temperature underlayment, or a Class 4 shingle where the HOA requires shingles.
Shingle roofing in Spicewood is replacing wind-worn roofs on lake and ranch homes with a Class 4 shingle nailed for wind, with proper underlayment and ventilation.
Standing seam is the natural roof for Spicewood: it holds up on exposed lake lots, sheds cedar debris, carries a Class A fire rating, and suits the Hill Country style. We install it on homes and R-panel on shops and barns, and replace worn exposed-fastener roofs.
New construction around Spicewood is custom homes on lake and ranch lots, barns and shops. We dry in and finish in metal or shingle and coordinate with the builder.
A free inspection in Spicewood is worth having on any older lake home, any part-time property, and any exposed roof after a storm. We walk it, check valleys, flashing and the attic, and send a photo report.
Spicewood repairs are wind on a lake-facing slope, cedar debris rotting a valley, aging flashing on an older lake house, or a re-screw on exposed-fastener metal out on the acreage. We find the entry point and fix it properly.
Spicewood leaks are lake wind finding wall flashing, skylights and ridge vents on lake-facing roofs, and debris-packed valleys on wooded lots. We trace from inside, repair, and can handle it for owners who are not there.
Storms build over Lake Travis and hit Spicewood from the west first. After hail or wind we inspect, document with photos, tell you honestly whether it rises to a claim, and repair or replace to the approved scope. Part-time lake owners can have us inspect without being there.
Wind damage in Spicewood comes off Lake Travis and hits lake-facing slopes and wooded lots: lifted shingles, limbs down, ridge caps gone. We repair every slope and can handle it for owners who are not there.
Spicewood emergencies come off Lake Travis with no warning: wind lifting shingles on lake-facing slopes, limbs down on wooded lots, water in a ceiling. We tarp at first safe light, document the damage for your carrier, and repair on a written scope, with or without you there.
Commercial metal roofing in Spicewood is the standing seam roofs on wineries, event venues, marina and ranch buildings: repair after wind, re-fastening and new installs.
