Westlake Hills is custom homes on wooded hillside lots west of downtown Austin: complex roofs in tile, slate, standing seam and designer shingles, under mature oaks and city design rules.
Roofs in Westlake Hills are bigger, steeper and more complicated than almost anywhere else we work. The homes in Westlake proper, Rollingwood, Davenport Ranch, Lost Creek and along Bee Caves Road were mostly custom-built from the 1970s through the 2000s, many with concrete or clay tile, slate, standing seam, or heavy architectural shingles, and rooflines with multiple valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys. Mature live oaks cover most lots, which means limb damage, debris in valleys, and shaded slopes that hold moisture and grow algae. Access is steep and tight.
The ground is Balcones limestone, so foundation movement is minor; the roof problems here come from age, complexity and trees. Hail and wind that build over Lake Travis hit these west-facing hills first. The City of Westlake Hills and Rollingwood both have permit and design requirements for roof work, and many neighborhoods have deed restrictions on materials and colors.

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 Westlake Hills replacement is a custom job: steep, complex rooflines, tile or standing seam or heavy architectural shingles, skylights and chimneys to reflash, and tree access to plan. We build it with high-temperature underlayment, ice and water shield in every valley, custom-bent flashing, and the material your deed restrictions and the city allow, and we handle the permit.
Shingle roofing in Westlake Hills is designer and Class 4 architectural shingles on larger, steeper custom homes, installed to spec with the city permit handled and the details done for a roof that has to look right from the street.
Standing seam is common on Westlake Hills homes and a good fit for the modern and Hill Country styles here. It sheds oak debris, does not grow algae, and outlasts everything else on a complex roof. We install it where the deed restrictions allow, and confirm that first.
New construction roofing in Westlake Hills is custom homes and major additions, in tile, metal, designer shingle or membrane. We work with the builder on the details and handle the permit.
A free inspection in Westlake Hills is a longer visit than most: every valley, skylight, chimney and dormer checked, tile lifted where needed to see the underlayment, and the attic side looked at for moisture under shaded slopes. You get a photo report and a straight assessment.
Westlake repairs are mostly flashing and trees: a skylight or chimney that has started leaking, a valley that rotted under years of oak debris, cracked tiles from a fallen limb, or algae lifting shingles on a shaded slope. We find the actual entry point on a complicated roof and repair it properly, not with caulk.
Westlake Hills leaks come from complex roofs: tile and slate with cracked pieces, skylights, chimneys, and dead valleys where two slopes meet a wall. Oak debris makes it worse. We trace from inside, find the entry point, and repair the tile or flashing properly.
Storms off Lake Travis hit the west-facing hills of Westlake first, and wind brings oak limbs down on roofs. After an event we inspect, document damage with photos, distinguish it from age and tree wear, and repair or replace to the approved scope. High-value roofs need careful documentation, and we do it.
Wind damage in Westlake Hills is oak limbs on tile and slate roofs and lifted shingles on exposed hilltop slopes. We repair broken tile, replace creased shingles, secure limb damage, and document it with the storm date.
Westlake Hills emergencies are oak limbs on complex roofs and lake storms hitting west-facing hills: cracked tile, a skylight leaking, water in a ceiling. We secure the opening, tarp or patch to stop the water, photograph everything for your carrier, and do the permanent repair on a written scope with the city permit handled.
Westlake Hills claims are often wind and tree damage on high-value roofs. We document carefully, separate storm damage from wear, meet the adjuster, and do the work to the approved scope.
Flat roof repair in Westlake Hills is the low-slope sections on contemporary custom homes: TPO and modified bitumen at parapets, scuppers and skylights. We repair, water test, and replace when the membrane is done.
Commercial roof inspections in Westlake Hills cover the office and retail buildings along Bee Caves Road and 360, most with TPO or modified bitumen roofs. We map, core and report per building.
We look, photograph and explain before anything is sold.

FAQ
Westlake Hills Roofing FAQs
Do you work on tile and slate roofs?
Yes. On tile and slate the roof underneath, the underlayment and flashing, usually fails before the tile does, and we repair or replace that layer and reset the tile. We are honest when a full replacement is the better answer.
Do you handle the city permit in Westlake Hills?
Yes. Westlake Hills and Rollingwood both require permits for roof work, and we confirm any deed restrictions on material and color before ordering.
