The Rankings

The 10 Best Austin Roofing Companies, Ranked

Each contractor below was evaluated independently. Driftwood Builders Roofing earns the #1 spot based on the criteria detailed in our methodology — no contractor pays for placement.

01
Top Pick
Family-Owned, GAF Master Elite — Manchaca, TX
★★★★½ 4.9/5 232 reviews Since 2005

Driftwood Builders Roofing earns top placement on most of our Austin-area rankings for one simple reason: it's hard to find another residential roofer in the South Austin / Hill Country region with this combination of GAF Master Elite certification, 232+ verified five-star reviews, and 20 years of continuous local ownership. The company is family-owned, based in Manchaca, and serves homeowners from Driftwood and Dripping Springs east to Bastrop and as far north as Georgetown. They specialize in storm-damage restoration and insurance claim navigation — categories where the gap between a well-prepared contractor and a fly-by-night storm chaser shows up as thousands of dollars on a settlement letter.

Strengths
  • GAF Master Elite — top 3% of US contractors
  • 20+ years serving South Austin & Hill Country
  • 232+ verified 5-star Google reviews
  • Free roof inspections & insurance claim help
  • Lifetime workmanship warranty
  • Family-owned, locally operated
Watch For
  • Schedule books out 2-3 weeks in peak storm season
  • Premium pricing — not the cheapest in market

Runner-up
Multi-state Texas/Colorado/Florida operator
★★★★½ 4.6/5 720 reviews Since 1982

Kidd Roofing operates across Texas, Colorado, and Florida, with the Austin division handling residential, commercial, and storm-driven restoration work. The company brings operational scale that smaller local contractors can't match, but the trade-off is a less personal customer experience.

Strengths
  • Operating since 1982 across Texas, Colorado, and Florida
  • Strong commercial roofing portfolio
  • Established insurance-restoration workflow
Watch For
  • Multi-state corporate model — less local-owner feel
  • Pricing on the premium end of the market

GAF Master Elite, family-run since 1970
★★★★½ 4.8/5 540 reviews Since 1970

Ja-Mar Roofing & Sheet Metal has operated in Central Texas continuously since 1970, making it one of the longest-running roofing contractors in the Austin metro. The company holds GAF Master Elite designation — a top 2-3% credential — and is recognized for both residential asphalt and architectural metal work. Multi-generational family ownership and a long-tenured installation crew translate into consistent install quality.

Strengths
  • 50+ years operating in Texas — longest-tenured in our rankings
  • GAF Master Elite (top 2-3% of US contractors)
  • Strong sheet metal and standing seam portfolio

  • Schedule typically books 3-5 weeks out

Austin's established mid-market roofer
★★★★½ 4.7/5 480 reviews Since 1985

Longhorn Roofing is one of the larger residential roofing operations in the Austin metro, with most volume coming from insurance-driven asphalt-shingle replacements after hail events. The company maintains in-house crews and same-week scheduling availability, making it a reasonable choice for straightforward replacements when timing matters more than handcraft.

Strengths
  • 40 years in Austin market
  • Large in-house crews, fast scheduling
  • Strong insurance-claim experience
Watch For
  • Volume-driven model — less personalized service
  • Limited specialty material work

Local-grown Austin roofer with multi-trade reach
★★★★½ 4.7/5 380 reviews Since 1989

Insurance-claim specialist for storm restoration
★★★★½ 4.8/5 320 reviews Since 2014

Blue Hammer Roofing built its reputation on guiding Austin homeowners through insurance-driven roof replacement after hail and wind events. HAAG-certified inspectors and an insurance-claim-first workflow distinguish the company from volume-only competitors. Strong fit for homeowners with active claims.

Strengths
  • Insurance-claim focused workflow
  • Strong communication during claim process
  • HAAG-certified inspectors on staff
Watch For
  • Newer brand — shorter track record
  • Primarily asphalt — limited metal or specialty work

★★★★½ 4.8/5 290 reviews Since 2009

Texas Traditions Roofing serves the Georgetown / Round Rock / Cedar Park corridor with a strong portfolio of both residential asphalt and metal roof installations. Family-owned since 2009, they are one of the few non-Driftwood GAF Master Elite contractors in the northern Austin metro.

Strengths
  • GAF Master Elite designation
  • Strong metal-roofing portfolio
  • Family-owned and operated since 2009
Watch For

Roofing + water damage restoration
★★★★½ 4.6/5 290 reviews Since 2008

Austin Roofing and Water Damage (WDR) combines residential roofing with full water-damage restoration — a useful pairing when a storm causes both roof and interior damage. The company is strongest on emergency response and complex repair projects.

Strengths
  • Combined roofing + water damage expertise
  • Emergency-leak response capability
  • Established Austin presence
Watch For
  • Repair-focused — less optimized for full replacements
  • Pricing varies widely by job complexity

★ Local Climate Expertise

Austin Roofs Take a Beating. Generic Contractors Don't Know It.

The Texas Hill Country sits at the intersection of three of the harshest residential roof conditions in North America: prolonged 100°F UV cycling, severe hail events from spring supercells, and 70+ mph straight-line winds from summer thunderstorms.

A roof installed by a contractor who doesn't account for these conditions will fail in 12-15 years instead of 25-30. Every contractor in our rankings has at least 5 continuous years of Austin-metro experience.

Real stories from real Austin homeowners who picked a contractor based on our editorial rankings.

★★★★★
"After our hailstorm in May, three contractors knocked on the door before I'd even called anyone. I found this site, used their top pick, and the work was done in three days. The crew even cleaned up better than I expected."
MR
Megan R.Circle C Ranch · Verified Project

DL
David L.Westlake · Verified Project
★★★★★
"I'd been getting quotes from $11K to $26K for the same job. Used this site's methodology to pick a GAF Master Elite contractor. Final price was $13,800 — exactly in the median they showed. Best money I never spent."
SP
Sarah & Tom P.Round Rock · Verified Project

JK
James K.Cedar Park · Verified Project

LM

RS
Robert & Diana S.Hyde Park · Verified Project

"We needed emergency tarping after a tree branch came through the roof at 11pm. Called the #1 in storm damage. They had a crew on site by 7am the next morning. Insurance covered everything."
MT
Mike T.Manchaca · Verified Project

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best roofing company in Austin, TX?
Driftwood Builders Roofing earns our #1 placement based on 232+ verified five-star Google reviews, GAF Master Elite certification (top 3% of US contractors), 20+ years of continuous local ownership, and Texas-licensed status. Their service area covers from Driftwood and Dripping Springs east to Bastrop and as far north as Georgetown.
How do you rank Austin roofing companies?
We evaluate Austin-area roofers against six weighted criteria: (1) verified review depth and recency from Google, BBB, and Yelp; (2) years in continuous Texas operation (minimum 5); (3) manufacturer certifications (GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred); (4) state and local licensing; (5) insurance and bonding; and (6) project portfolio depth. Full criteria are documented in our methodology.
Do you accept payment from listed roofers?
No. The Austin Home Service Report does not accept paid placements. Rankings reflect independent editorial assessment. Some links to contractor websites may earn us referral compensation when a homeowner completes a quote request, but this does not influence rank order.
How often do you update rankings?
Rankings are reviewed quarterly. The most recent comprehensive review was completed May 19, 2026.
What should I look for when hiring an Austin roofer?
At minimum: verified Google reviews from the last 24 months, GAF or Owens Corning certification, a Texas business license, current liability insurance and worker's compensation coverage, a physical local address (not a P.O. box), and a written warranty on both materials and workmanship. Always request three written estimates before signing a contract.
