Updated for 2026. Real ranges from JP Exteriors, a GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor serving Austin, San Antonio, and the Central Texas Hill Country.
The short answer. A full roof replacement on a typical Austin or San Antonio home costs $18,000 to $30,000 in 2026. A small to mid-size roof repair runs $350 to $750. New seamless 5-inch aluminum gutters run $3,000 to $5,000 installed. Pricing moves with roof size, material choice (3-tab asphalt, architectural, impact-resistant, or metal), pitch, the number of layers we have to tear off, and the condition of the decking and flashing underneath. Financing options include 6.99% APR for 180 months or 0% APR for 18 months.
Every roof in Central Texas takes a beating. Between the Hill Country hailstorms that roll east out of the Edwards Plateau, the relentless UV from Austin's 228 sunny days a year, and the wind events that whip through San Antonio off the Gulf, your roof is the most punished surface on your home. We get the same question every week from homeowners: what does a new roof actually cost in 2026? This page is our public answer, with the full ranges we quote in the field, the variables that move them, and the gutter and storm-claim numbers that ride alongside any roofing decision.
JP Exteriors has been installing roofing across Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bexar, Comal, Burnet, and Blanco counties since our founding. We hold both the GAF Master Elite designation (the top 3% of roofing contractors in North America) and the James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor credential. The numbers below come from our actual 2026 sales pricing, not stock industry averages.

2026 Roof Replacement Cost by Material
Roofing material is the biggest variable in your final price. Take the same home in Cedar Park: a 3-tab asphalt re-roof might come in at $13,500, while a Class 4 impact-resistant product on that same roof lands at $26,000, and standing-seam metal pushes past $30,000. Same roof, same labor, very different products. All prices below assume a typical 25 to 30 square roof (a "square" equals 100 square feet of roofing surface) and include tear-off of one existing layer, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, ice-and-water shield in valleys and penetrations, ridge vent, new pipe boots, and code-compliant decking repair up to a standard allowance.
Material | 2026 Cost Range | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
3-Tab Asphalt (GAF Royal Sovereign) | $11,000 to $16,000 | 20 to 25 years |
Architectural Asphalt (GAF Timberline HD / OC Supreme) | $12,000 to $18,000 | 25 to 30 years |
Architectural Asphalt (Owens Corning Duration) | $12,500 to $18,500 | 25 to 30 years |
Impact-Resistant Class 4 (GAF Timberline AS2) | $15,000 to $24,000 | 30+ years |
Premium Designer Shingles | $19,000 to $30,000 | 30 to 50 years |
Standing-Seam Metal (Galvalume) | $22,000 to $32,000 | 40 to 70 years |
Standing-Seam Metal (Colored Steel) | $24,000 to $34,000 | 40 to 70 years |
Ranges reflect typical Central Texas projects. Final price is determined after the on-site assessment. Pitch surcharges apply over 8/12. Tearing off additional layers adds $1,500 to $3,000.
Which Shingle Should You Choose?
For most Austin and San Antonio homeowners, an architectural asphalt shingle like the GAF Timberline HDZ hits the sweet spot. You get meaningfully better wind resistance and lifespan than 3-tab, dimensional curb appeal, and 25 to 30 years of life for roughly $12,000 to $18,000.
Homeowners in hail-belt neighborhoods like Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and Cedar Park increasingly upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. These typically earn a 10 to 25% discount on the wind and hail portion of the homeowner premium and often pay back the upgrade within five to seven years.
For Hill Country custom homes in Lakeway, Bee Cave, Steiner Ranch, Spicewood, and Marble Falls, standing-seam metal is increasingly common. It's chosen for the architectural look and for the 40 to 70-year service life that matches the build quality of the home.
2026 Roof Repair Cost
A single-issue roof repair in Austin or San Antonio typically runs $350 to $750. That covers replacing a few missing or wind-lifted shingles, resealing pipe penetrations, replacing a cracked pipe boot, or addressing flashing at a chimney or skylight. Repairs that involve replacing decking, addressing storm damage across multiple slopes, or removing failed previous patch work generally run $1,500 to $4,000, and the larger ones are often eligible for an insurance claim. Our roofing repair team will document the scope before any work begins and tell you in writing whether the right path is a repair, a partial replacement, or a full roof.
When to repair vs. replace. If your roof is under 12 years old and damage is isolated to one slope or a discrete event (a tree limb, a single wind event), repair makes economic sense. If your roof is 17 years old or older, has multiple slopes with worn granules, has hail bruising across the field, or is leaking in more than one location, replacement is typically the better long-term value. We'll give you a straight answer on which path is right, and we routinely tell homeowners their roof has years of life left when it does.
2026 Seamless Gutter Cost in Austin & San Antonio
New 5-inch seamless aluminum gutters cost $3,000 to $5,000 installed on a typical 1,800 to 2,500 sq ft home with 180 to 250 linear feet of gutter. Seamless means the gutter is rolled on-site from a continuous coil to the exact length of each run, so there are no field-cut seams to leak later. We install in 24+ baked-enamel colors to match fascia and trim. Here's the full Austin gutter menu:
Gutter Service | 2026 Cost Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Standard 5" Seamless Gutter Installation | $2,000 to $4,000 | 1-story home, 180 to 220 LF |
Standard Installation with 2nd Story | $2,500 to $5,000 | Includes upper-level access and safety setup |
Gutter Replacement (remove + replace) | $2,500 to $5,000 | Includes haul-off of old material |
Downspout Add-Ons | $200 to $800 | Per downspout install |
Gutter Screen / Leaf Protection | $1,800 to $4,000 | Added on top of standard install |
Aqueduct Gutter Cover (Premium) | $4,000 to $7,500 | Lifetime warranty leaf-protection system |
Do You Need Gutter Guards in Central Texas?
It depends almost entirely on your tree canopy. Homes in heavily wooded neighborhoods clog gutters with leaves, oak catkins, and cedar berries every spring and fall. Think West Austin, Westlake, Steiner Ranch, the older live-oak streets of Central Austin and Alamo Heights in San Antonio, and the cedar-dense lots out in Dripping Springs and Marble Falls. For those homes, gutter screens or the premium Aqueduct system genuinely pay off. Less ladder time, no overflow against the fascia, and a lifetime warranty against clogging on the Aqueduct cover. Open suburban lots in Pflugerville, Hutto, Buda, Leander, and parts of Round Rock generally don't need them.
What Moves Your Final 2026 Roofing Price
The ranges above are honest, but every home is different. These are the six variables that move pricing inside (and occasionally outside) those ranges:
1. Project Size
Roof size is measured in squares, with 100 square feet per square. A typical Austin or San Antonio single-family home is 25 to 35 squares. A small bungalow in Travis Heights might be 15 squares. A sprawling Steiner Ranch or Cordillera Ranch custom can run 50 to 80. Cost scales with size almost linearly inside a material category.
2. Material Selection
As shown in the table above, material choice moves your number more than any other factor, sometimes by 100% or more. A 3-tab re-roof on a starter home in Hutto may total $11,500. The same home with standing-seam metal could land at $24,000. Same labor, same crew, same warranty, but a different product.
3. Home Size and Stories
Multi-story homes carry a 10 to 17% surcharge for additional access, scaffolding, safety harnessing, and material staging. A 2,800-square-foot two-story in Round Rock takes meaningfully longer to roof than the same square footage in a single-story footprint in Hutto.
4. Existing Condition
Rotten decking, multiple existing layers (Texas code allows two layers maximum before tear-off), compromised flashing, and damaged sheathing all add scope. We document any conditions we find during tear-off in writing and only charge change orders for clearly necessary additional work, never as a surprise at the end.
5. Project Complexity
Steep pitches over 8/12, gable cuts, dormers, intricate valley work, chimneys, and multi-angle rooflines all add labor time. A Hill Country custom home in Lakeway with a 12/12 pitch, three valleys, and two chimneys is a fundamentally different job than a builder-grade gable-front in Hutto, even at identical square footage.
6. Brand and Warranty Tier
Manufacturer-backed enhanced warranties (like the GAF Golden Pledge available only through Master Elite contractors) carry slightly higher product cost but extend non-prorated coverage up to 50 years and transfer with the home. For most homeowners staying seven years or longer, the warranty upgrade is a clear value play.
Storm Damage, Hail, and Insurance Claims
Central Texas sits squarely in the U.S. hail belt. NOAA places the I-35 corridor from San Antonio through Austin to Georgetown in the top tier nationally for severe hail frequency. If your roof has been hit by a hail event (anything 1-inch diameter or greater), there's a strong chance you qualify for a full or partial roof replacement under your homeowner policy.
JP Exteriors handles the insurance claims process end to end. We inspect for free, document damage with calibrated photography that meets adjuster standards, meet your adjuster on-site, write a Xactimate-aligned scope of work, and supplement when an adjuster's initial scope misses code items like drip edge, ice-and-water, and ridge vent. Most Austin and San Antonio homeowners pay only their policy deductible on an approved claim. For more on what to look for, see our pages on hail damage and wind damage.
2026 Pricing by Service Area
JP Exteriors serves a wide footprint across Central Texas, and 2026 roofing pricing is generally consistent inside that footprint with two caveats. Longer drive radii (Marble Falls, San Marcos, New Braunfels) carry a modest mobilization adjustment. Certain submarkets like Steiner Ranch, Westlake, Spicewood, and the Hill Country custom corridors tend toward the premium end of every range because of pitch, complexity, and material selection. Pull up the page for your area for hyperlocal context:
Austin Metro Notes
Inside Loop 1 and Mopac, older homes in Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Tarrytown, and Crestview frequently have undersized 1x decking and older code rooflines that require ridge vent retrofits. Bake $500 to $1,500 into the upper end of your range for those. North and northwest Austin neighborhoods like Anderson Mill, Avery Ranch, and Brushy Creek tend to come in near the middle of every material category. West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and the Spicewood Hill Country corridor consistently land at the top.
San Antonio Metro Notes
San Antonio roofing pricing in 2026 sits within ten percent of Austin pricing for equivalent materials and scope. Hail-prone areas inside Loop 1604 like Stone Oak, Hollywood Park, Shavano Park, and Alamo Heights see the heaviest insurance-claim activity in our book. New Braunfels and Schertz pricing tracks San Antonio closely, and the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch corridor trends upward for the same Hill Country complexity reasons as Westlake.
2026 Financing Options
JP Exteriors partners with third-party lenders to make every project affordable. We offer two popular programs:
Program | Rate | Term | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
Long-Term Fixed | 6.99% APR | 180 months | Spreading a full roof and gutter package across 15 years |
No-Interest Promotional | 0% APR | 18 months, paid in full | Homeowners with cash flow timing: insurance proceeds, year-end bonus, home sale |
Pre-qualification is a soft credit pull with no impact to your score, and it takes about three minutes at jpexteriorstx.com/offers/financing. Most homeowners have a decision within an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Austin in 2026?
A full roof replacement in Austin and the Central Texas market runs $18,000 to $30,000 in 2026 for a typical 25 to 30 square asphalt-shingle roof installed. Architectural shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ run $12,000 to $18,000 on smaller homes. Metal standing-seam roofs start at $22,000 and run up to $34,000 depending on panel color and gauge. Final price depends on roof size, pitch, layers to be torn off, and decking condition.
How much do new gutters cost in Austin and San Antonio?
Seamless 5-inch aluminum gutter installation costs $2,000 to $4,000 for a single-story Austin or San Antonio home with 180 to 250 linear feet. Two-story homes run $2,500 to $5,000. Adding gutter screens or leaf protection adds $1,800 to $4,000. Premium Aqueduct gutter covers with lifetime warranties run $4,000 to $7,500.
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost in Central Texas?
Standing-seam metal roofs cost roughly 60 to 90% more upfront than architectural asphalt, but they last 40 to 70 years instead of 25 to 30, reflect heat (lowering summer cooling bills), and often qualify for insurance discounts on the wind and hail premium. Many Hill Country and Lake Travis homeowners choose metal for the longevity, hail performance, and curb appeal.
How much does roof repair cost?
Most isolated roof repairs in Austin and San Antonio run $350 to $750. Larger repairs involving decking replacement, multiple penetrations, or storm-damaged sections can run $1,500 to $4,000 and are often eligible for insurance claims.
Does insurance cover roof replacement in Texas?
Yes. Most Central Texas homeowner policies cover roof replacement when damage is caused by a covered peril like hail or high wind. Texas is in the top three U.S. states for hail claims. JP Exteriors documents storm damage to adjuster standards and handles insurance claims start to finish.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family asphalt-shingle roof replacements in the Austin and San Antonio markets are completed in one to two days. Larger or steeper homes, multi-layer tear-offs, or metal standing-seam installs may take three to five days. Weather can extend timelines.
Do I need new gutters when I replace my roof?
Not always, but it is often the right time. Re-roofing creates a perfect opportunity to inspect fascia and soffits hidden behind existing gutters and to replace any rusted or sagging runs at the same time. Bundling roof and gutter work in one mobilization usually saves 10 to 15% versus doing them separately.
What warranties come with a JP Exteriors roof?
Every JP Exteriors roof carries the manufacturer product warranty (GAF System Plus, Silver Pledge, or Golden Pledge depending on system selected) plus our lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the home. The GAF Golden Pledge, available only through GAF Master Elite contractors, is a 50-year non-prorated warranty that transfers with the property.
