Types of roofing materials we offer

Asphalt Shingle

Asphalt is the most popular roofing material in the U.S. It's easy to install and relatively inexpensive. It's also very effective at keeping out moisture. The downside is that an asphalt roof may be more vulnerable to wind and sun damage than some other roofs.

Metal

Many homeowners like metal roofs because they are durable but lightweight, as well as very fire- and wind-resistant. These roofs are expensive up front but can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. They're effective at keeping your home cool even in Austin's warmer temperatures.

Slate

Slate is a very sustainable natural materials that can last a long time with minimal maintenance. However, these benefits mean that slate costs more up front, the infrequent repairs may be more expensive, and your warranty options may be more limited. We recommend speaking with one of our All Star roofing experts to find out more.

Clay

Clay roofs may be desirable in Austin due to their high solar reflectivity, which helps keep homes cool in the summer. Clay is also very resistant to fire, water, and pests. Clay has a long lifespan but can be very expensive to install, partly due to its heavy weight. We recommend speaking with one of our All Star roofing experts to learn whether a clay roof is a good fit for your home.

Cedar

Many people like cedar or other wood roofs for their timeless look. It's also a very environmentally conscious and long-lasting option. One downside is that wood can require more maintenance than other materials. Also, while it can be treated to resist fire, it's not inherently fire-resistant like some other materials.

Synthetic

Synthetic roofs can be made to look like other materials (like slate or cedar) and last a very long time. Synthetic tiles are lightweight but extremely durable. One thing that turns homeowners away from synthetic roofs is the cost. If you're interested in a synthetic roof, one of our All Star roofing pros can provide a free estimate of what it may cost.

signs you may need a new roof

Age of the Roof

A roof generally lasts between 15 and 30 years. Your roof's lifespan will depend on its material, how well it's been maintained, and the weather in your part of Texas. If your roof is nearing or within this age range, we suggest having one of our All Star roofing experts perform an inspection and tell you whether we recommend a full replacement.

Shingle Edges are Curled

If your shingles are starting to peel or curl, it may be time to think about roof replacement. Some shingle damage is normal (especially with Austin's severe storms), but if you're noticing excessive peeling or large bald spots, it could signal that your roof is at the end of its lifespan. A local Austin roofing expert can inspect your roof and tell you if the damage is typical for your area or if your roof has simply worn out.

Cracked Shingles

Like curling, cracking is considered a normal part of shingle wear and tear. As with curling, the same rule applies: if you notice severe cracking or large areas that are missing shingles, it's time to consult a roofing professional.

Saggy or Droopy Spots

Roofs normally sag for one of two reasons: inadequate support underneath or too much weight on top. Over time, your roof's internal supports can sustain damage from pests, humidity, or water or can simply wear out naturally. Wind and rain can stress your roof from the outside, putting increased pressure on the supports. Either or both of these issues can lead to a saggy or droopy roof. Often, replacing your roof is the best way to ensure all supports are in the best shape possible.

Moss

Particularly at more rainy times of the year, you might notice mold, mildew, and moss beginning to grow on your roof. Moss is the most visible of the three, but mildew and mold can pose serious health risks if they get inside your house. A roof that has frequent bursts of plant and mold growth may need to be replaced.

Visible Leaks

One obvious sign of roof issues is visible leaking, particularly where your walls meet your ceiling, or in your attic. Some leaks may be easy to stop, but it's always a good idea to have an inspection. This can help identify whether the leak is part of a larger problem. Our local experts are trained to identify and repair the source of leaks and are eager to help you keep your home safe and dry.
