Frequently Asked Questions

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!

How much does a new roof cost?

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.

How long will my new roof last in the Texas climate?

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.

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

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.

Can you help with my insurance claim for storm damage?

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.

What are the common signs of storm damage?

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.

How long does a typical roof replacement take?

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.

Do you offer free estimates or inspections?

Yes. All our roof inspections and project estimates are 100% free and come with no obligation. We believe in earning your business by providing value and honest information upfront.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, Bluebonnet Roofing & Construction is fully licensed to operate in the state of Texas and carries comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance. This protects you, your property, and our team throughout the entire project. We are happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

We provide two layers of protection. First, you receive the manufacturer's warranty on the materials themselves, which covers defects. Second, and just as important, we provide our own workmanship warranty on our labor. This guarantees that our installation is done correctly and protects you from any issues related to our craftsmanship.

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve homeowners across the greater Austin and Houston metropolitan areas. This includes surrounding communities such as Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and many more. If you're in Central or Southeast Texas, give us a call!

What roofing materials do you recommend for Texas homes?

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.

Is a new roof a good investment?

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. A high-quality roof also significantly boosts your home's curb appeal and property value, and modern, energy-efficient materials can even help lower your cooling costs during our hot Texas summers.
