Roof Repair in Georgetown, Done Right the First Time
Most Georgetown roofing calls start with a leak, and about a third of the roofs we inspect need a repair, not a replacement. We get on the roof, find the true source of the water rather than just the ceiling stain, and show you photos before any work begins.
On older homes, most leaks trace back to a chimney flashing, a plumbing vent boot, a tired valley, or a section of failed sealant, not the whole roof. We fix the real problem with materials matched to your specific roof, whether it is asphalt shingle, tile, standing seam metal, or flat and low-slope TPO.
If a repair is only a short-term patch, we tell you honestly and put the replacement number beside it so you can decide with real figures in front of you. When a storm is behind the damage, we document it with photos and help with your insurance claim.

Roof Replacement in Georgetown, No Runaround
When a Georgetown roof has genuinely reached the end of its life, a full replacement is better long-term value than paying for repeated repairs. Most homes are a one to three day job, and many single-story roofs are finished in a single day. We never leave a roof open overnight.
Every replacement includes a full tear-off to the deck, a decking inspection with any rotted sheets replaced at a stated per-sheet rate agreed up front, new leak barrier and underlayment, new flashing, drip edge and valleys, balanced attic ventilation, and a thorough magnetic nail sweep and cleanup.
For most homes, architectural asphalt shingles such as GAF Timberline HDZ give the best balance of value and hail resistance, and impact-resistant Class 4 shingles often earn an insurance discount. Standing seam metal reflects more heat and lasts 40 to 70 years. There is no deposit; you pay once the finished roof passes inspection.

Other Roofing and Exterior Services in Georgetown
Driftwood Builders Roofing is a full-service roofing and exterior contractor in Georgetown. Alongside roof repair and roof replacement, we handle the work most roofers send elsewhere.
Siding Installation & Repair
James Hardie fiber cement and vinyl siding, installed and repaired. Storm damage usually hits the roof and siding together, so we assess both in one visit.
Gutter Installation
Seamless gutters and gutter guards that protect Georgetown’s older homes and mature-tree lots from water damage. Ask about adding gutters when we quote your roof.
Skylight Installation & Repair
New skylights installed and leaking ones repaired. The best time to add one is during a roof replacement, while the deck is open, so it is flashed properly.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal, the most popular upgrade from tile on older homes. Lighter on an old deck, lasts 40 to 70 years, and reflects Austin heat.
Tile Roof Repair
Cracked and slipped clay and concrete tile repaired, along with the underlayment beneath it, which is where most tile roofs actually leak.
Commercial & Flat Roofing
TPO and other flat and low-slope systems installed and repaired for commercial buildings and modern flat-roof homes around central Austin.
Free Roof Inspections
Every inspection is free, including a full photo report and the remaining roof life in writing. We get on the roof, not just look from the driveway.
Storm & Insurance Claims
We document storm damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and make sure the claim reflects the real damage. You file as the policyholder, we handle the roof side.

Georgetown Roofing Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Georgetown, TX?
Roof replacements inside the Georgetown city limits are permitted through the City of Georgetown, not the City of Austin, because Georgetown is its own incorporated city in Williamson County. Driftwood Builders Roofing pulls the permit as part of the job, so you do not file anything yourself. If your address sits outside the city limits, county requirements apply instead, and we confirm which authority covers your street before work is scheduled.
Do you replace roofs in Sun City and Berry Creek?
Yes. Sun City and Berry Creek are two of the Georgetown neighborhoods Driftwood Builders Roofing works in most often, and our team has completed 142 roofing replacement and repair projects across the Georgetown area over the last 20 years. Many homes in these neighborhoods are single story with straightforward pitches, which often means a one day tear-off and install. We confirm the scope after a free on-site inspection with a full photo report. Intent: Local and commercial.
How many roofs has Driftwood Builders Roofing done in Georgetown?
Our team has completed 142 roofing replacement and repair projects in the Georgetown area over the last 20 years. Driftwood Builders Roofing is a family-built Central Texas company based at 12308 Twin Creek Rd in Manchaca, not a franchise and not a storm-chasing crew that arrives after hail and leaves before the warranty matters. We are GAF Master Elite certified, BBB accredited, and we back workmanship for 25 years. Intent: Commercial investigation.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Georgetown?
Cost depends on five things: the square footage and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, how many layers come off, how much decking is rotted underneath, and how complex the flashing and valley details are. Asphalt shingle sits at the lower end and standing seam metal at the higher end. Driftwood Builders Roofing gives you a free written estimate after an on- site inspection, with the decking priced at a stated per-sheet rate agreed up front so nothing is added at the end. Intent: Commercial. Keyword: roof replacement cost Georgetown TX.
Do you charge for a roof inspection in Georgetown?
No. Inspections are free in Georgetown, including a full photo report and the remaining roof life in writing. Our crew gets on the roof rather than assessing it from the driveway, and if the roof does not need work we tell you and you owe nothing. There is no deposit to schedule any job that follows, and you pay once the finished roof has been inspected with our team.
What are the signs a Georgetown home needs roof repair?
Water stains on a ceiling or wall, missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, damp spots or daylight visible in the attic, and flashing lifting where a chimney or vent meets the roof. On the older homes near the Georgetown Square, most leaks trace back to a chimney flashing, a plumbing vent boot, a tired valley or a section of failed sealant rather than the whole roof. Caught early, a small repair stays small. Intent: Problem-solving and informational.
Do you work on older homes near the Georgetown Square?
es. Georgetown’s Victorian-era downtown and the streets around the Square hold a good share of the older housing stock we work on, and older roofs bring skip-sheathing, real masonry chimneys and detailing that a one-size patch will not seal. Driftwood Builders Roofing matches the repair method to how that specific roof is built.
How long does a roof replacement take in Georgetown?
Most Georgetown homes are a one to three day job, and many single-story homes are finished in a single day. Timing depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material, and the condition of the decking once the old roof comes off. Driftwood Builders Roofing never leaves a roof open overnight. Weather is the usual reason a job stretches, and we tell you the day it happens rather than the day after
How quickly can you get to a roof leak in Georgetown?
Active leaks are prioritized. Driftwood Builders Roofing is based in Manchaca and covers Georgetown and the surrounding Williamson County area, and we can tarp to stop water on the same visit when the situation calls for it. Most Georgetown roof repairs are scheduled within a few days, and many straightforward leaks and shingle fixes are done in a single visit. Timing depends on the damage, the weather and material availability.
How much does a roof repair cost in Georgetown?
Most single-issue roof repairs, a pipe boot, a chimney flashing, a section of failed sealant, run from a few hundred to roughly two thousand dollars. Anything larger and we put the replacement number next to it so you can decide with the real math in front of you.
How do I know it is time to replace my roof instead of repairing it?
Replace when shingles are brittle across whole slopes, when granule loss is widespread, when a tile or metal system has failed, or when the roof is past about 18 years. If the damage is isolated and the surrounding roof still has life, repair it. We date the roof from the shingles and decking, not from what the last owner said.
How long does a roof replacement take in Georgetown?
Most Georgetown homes are a one to three day job, and many single-story homes are done in a single day. Timing depends on size, pitch, the material, and the condition of the decking once we tear off the old roof. We never leave a roof open overnight.
What is included in a Driftwood roof replacement?
Full tear-off to the deck, a decking inspection and repair, new leak barrier and underlayment, new flashing, drip edge and valleys, balanced attic ventilation, and a full magnetic nail sweep and cleanup. Nothing hidden, nothing subcontracted out to whoever was free that week.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Austin?
Most Austin roof replacements run between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on size, pitch, material, and decking condition. Asphalt shingle sits at the lower end, standing seam metal at the higher. You get an exact, no-obligation price after a free on-site inspection.
Should I replace my tile roof with tile or with metal?
Both work well, and it comes down to weight, budget, and how long you are staying. Standing seam metal is lighter on an old deck, lasts 40 to 70 years, and handles Austin heat and hail well, which is why many homeowners choose it over re-tiling.
What if you find rotted decking under my old roof?
We photograph it, show you, and price it before we replace a single sheet. Decking is the most common place a roofer pads an invoice, so ours is a stated per-sheet rate agreed up front, not a surprise at the end.
How do I know the crew installed my roof correctly?
Six nails per shingle, in the nail line, every course. It is the single biggest difference between a roof that survives a Central Texas wind event and one that does not, and it is invisible once the job is done, so we document it.
What roofing materials work best in the Texas heat?
For most homes, architectural asphalt shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ give the best balance of durability, value, and hail resistance. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles often earn an insurance discount. Standing seam metal reflects more heat and lasts far longer.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Austin?
Yes, roof replacements are permitted through the City of Austin. We handle the permitting as part of the job so you do not have to.
Do you offer financing, and is a deposit required?
Financing is available, and no, you pay nothing up front. No deposit is required to schedule. You pay once the job is complete and you have inspected the finished roof with our team.
Do you charge for a roof inspection in Georgetown?
No. Inspections are free, including the photo report. If your roof does not need work, we tell you and you owe nothing.
How quickly can you get to a leak in Georgetown?
Active leaks are prioritized. We are based in Manchaca and cover Georgetown and the surrounding area, and we can tarp to stop water the same visit when needed.
Do you work on older and historic homes in Georgetown?
Constantly. Older roofs bring skip-sheathing, real chimneys, and tile, and we match the repair to how that specific roof is built rather than forcing a one-size patch.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully insured, BBB accredited, GuildQuality member, and GAF certified. We send the certificates before we set a ladder against your house.
