At Bluebonnet Roofing & Construction, we believe that an informed customer is a confident customer. A new roof is a significant investment in your home's safety and value, and we want you to have all the information you need to make the best decision. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners in the Austin and Houston areas. If you don't see your question here, please don't hesitate to call us directly!
The cost of a roof replacement varies significantly based on several key factors, including the size and complexity (slope) of your roof, the type of materials you choose (e.g., architectural shingles, metal), and the extent of any underlying damage to the roof deck. The best way to get an accurate price is to schedule a free, no-obligation inspection with our team. We provide a detailed, transparent quote with no hidden fees.
The lifespan of your roof depends heavily on the material and proper installation. Here in Texas, where roofs endure intense sun, heat, and severe storms, material quality is key. A professionally installed architectural shingle roof typically lasts 20-30 years, while a metal roof can last 40-70 years or more. Proper attic ventilation, which we can assess, also plays a crucial role in maximizing your roof's lifespan.
The decision depends on the age of your roof and the extent of the damage. A few missing shingles or a minor leak can often be repaired. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage (e.g., affecting more than 30% of the surface), or shows signs of chronic issues like curling or balding shingles, a full replacement is often the more cost-effective and safer long-term solution. Our inspections provide an honest recommendation.
Absolutely. This is a core part of our service. We are experts in identifying and documenting hail and wind damage in a way that insurance companies recognize. While we are not public adjusters, we can meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to ensure they see the full extent of the damage, helping you get a fair and accurate assessment for your claim.
After a storm, look for obvious signs like missing or cracked shingles. For hail damage, check for dents on your gutters, downspouts, and roof vents—if they are dented, your shingles likely are too. You may also see an accumulation of black granules in your downspouts. However, not all damage is visible from the ground, which is why a professional inspection is so important.
For an average-sized residential home, our professional crew can typically complete a full roof replacement in 1 to 3 days. The exact timeline can be affected by the weather, the complexity of the roof, and any necessary repairs to the underlying structure. We will always provide a clear project timeline before we begin.

We recommend materials that offer excellent durability against heat and hail. Architectural shingles are the most popular choice, providing great protection, a wide variety of styles, and excellent value. For homeowners seeking maximum longevity and energy efficiency, metal roofing is an outstanding option that performs exceptionally well in the Texas climate.
A new roof is one of the best investments you can make in your home. It is your first line of defense against the elements, protecting the entire structure.
