New Roof Installation Done Right — From the First Shingle to the Final Walkthrough

At Sprauer Roofing, we’re a family-owned company that handles every replacement with the owner on-site, the right materials for your situation, and the full insurance process managed from start to finish. We’ll also tell you honestly if a repair would do the job — even when that means a smaller project for us.

Whether Your Roof Is Failing, Aging, or Already Approved by Insurance – This Is for You
Getting a new roof isn’t a single experience. It looks different depending on where you’re starting from.
Maybe your adjuster just told you the damage is too extensive to repair and a full replacement is the only option. Maybe your roof is too old and you’ve been quietly watching it get worse for the past two years. Maybe you just took ownership of a home and discovered the roof isn’t what you thought it was when you closed.
All three situations lead to the same place — a replacement that needs to be done right, by a contractor who handles the whole process, not just the installation.
A Roof That Can’t Be Repaired Anymore Is Stressful. Here’s How We Make The Process Simple.
A roof that’s past saving isn’t just a home repair — it’s a major financial decision that usually lands at the worst possible moment. We get that. Here’s what one call to Sprauer actually starts:
#1
Free 13-point inspection with full photo documentation
#2
Itemized estimate — no vague ballparks, no surprise line items
#3
Insurance coordination from the first filing to the final payout
#4
Scheduling handled around your timeline, not ours
#5
Bill on-site the day of the replacement
#6
Full cleanup before we leave
Most roofing companies hand the hard parts back to you. We don’t. One call starts everything and we stay in it until the job is completely done.

Bill Sprauer Handles Every Replacement Personally — and He’s on the Job the Day It Happens
Most roofing companies send a crew. You meet a salesperson during the estimate, sign the contract, and then a team shows up that you’ve never talked to. Bill doesn’t work that way.
Every replacement that carries the Sprauer name has Bill personally involved — on-site, checking in, making sure the right materials are there and the work is done to the standard he’s staked his name on for over 25 years. Helen J., one of our customers, said it plainly after her replacement: “Bill was also on site checking in to make sure everything ran smoothly and the right supplies were there.” That’s not a one-time thing. That’s every job.
Before You Commit to a New Roof — Here’s the Honest Answer on Whether You Actually Need One
Here’s something most roofing companies won’t say on their replacement page: not everyone who lands here actually needs a full replacement.
If your roof is falling apart in multiple areas, is past its expected lifespan, or has structural damage underneath the shingles — replacement is the right answer. But if the damage is isolated and your roof is under 15 years old and otherwise sound, a targeted repair might be exactly what you need and nothing more. We’d rather tell you that and earn your trust than sell you a $15,000 project you didn’t need.
Signs a Repair Is Still the Right Call
- Damage is limited to one isolated section
- Roof is under 15 years old and structurally solid elsewhere
- Issue is flashing, a vent seal, or a contained shingle patch
- Insurance is covering a partial claim and the broader roof is holding up
Signs It’s Time to Stop Repairing and Replace
- Widespread damage across multiple sections of the roof surface
- Decking underneath has absorbed moisture or is structurally compromised
- Roof is at or past its expected lifespan with recurring failure points
- Cumulative repair costs are approaching what a replacement would cost
- Water is coming through the roof in more than one location
Not sure which side of the line you’re on? A free inspection gives you a clear, documented answer — with no pressure attached.
New Roof Replacements, Full Installations, and Every Material in Between — Here’s What We Offer
Whether you need a residential replacement after years of wear, a new commercial roofing system on a deadline, or a full installation on a property starting from scratch — our residential roofing and commercial replacement services cover the full scope. No handoffs, no subcontractors managing your project from a distance. One team, one point of contact, from estimate through final walkthrough.
Call or text 737-703-6290 — Ask Us What’s Involved for Your Specific Property.
Residential Roof Replacement — Every Home, Every Material, Done in Most Cases the Same Day
When it’s time to replace your roof, the most common question after cost is time. How long will my house be disrupted? When can I get back to normal?
For most single-story homes, the answer is one day. Tear-off, inspection, installation, and cleanup — done before the crew leaves. Two-story homes and more complex rooflines may take two to three days, but we give you a clear timeline before work begins, and we stick to it.
Shingle Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most cost-effective and versatile option for residential replacements. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles offer significantly better performance in hail-prone areas and often qualify for insurance premium discounts. Our shingle roofing installations are backed by manufacturer warranties and built to handle real weather — not just the weather we hope for.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam and Galvalume metal systems last 40 to 70 years, reflect radiant heat, and require minimal maintenance over their lifespan. If you’re replacing a roof and want to stop thinking about it for the next four decades, metal roofing is the long-game answer. Higher upfront cost, significantly lower lifetime cost.
Tile Roof Installation
Clay and concrete tile systems offer 50+ years of performance, exceptional heat resistance, and the kind of curb appeal that holds value over time. Our tile roofing installations include a structural load assessment before a single tile goes up — because tile is only right for homes built to carry the weight.
Commercial Roof Replacement — Flat Roofs, TPO, and Metal Systems Built to Last
A commercial roof replacement isn’t just a bigger residential job — it’s a different discipline. Flat and low-slope systems have specific drainage, membrane, and maintenance requirements. Timelines affect tenants, operations, and liability. Documentation requirements go beyond what a homeowner typically needs.
We work with commercial property owners and managers on TPO, modified bitumen, standing seam metal, and built-up roofing systems — on schedule, fully documented, and without disrupting your business any more than the project requires.
TPO and Flat Roof Systems
TPO is the dominant commercial flat roof membrane for good reason — cost-effective, heat-reflective, and durable when installed correctly. We install and replace TPO systems across commercial properties with full warranty coverage and documentation your insurance carrier and property records will accept.
Commercial Metal Roof Installation
For commercial buildings where longevity and low maintenance are priorities, standing seam metal is the strongest long-term investment. We install commercial metal systems on retail centers, warehouses, and light industrial properties with the same standard we bring to residential work.

What Actually Happens on the Day We Replace Your Roof — No Surprises, Start to Finish
If you’ve never had a roof replaced before, the day itself can feel like a mystery. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Morning Arrival and Site Preparation
The crew arrives on schedule — typically early morning — and sets up protective tarping over landscaping, driveways, and exterior features before any work begins. You’ll know who’s on-site and have a direct line to Bill throughout the day.
Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
Old materials come off completely. Once the surface is exposed, Bill personally inspects the decking for water damage, soft spots, or compromised sections. If anything needs to be addressed before new materials go down, we explain it clearly and get your approval before moving forward. No surprises mid-project.
Installation and Final Walkthrough
New materials go on in sequence — underlayment, starter course, field shingles or metal panels, flashing, and ridge. Once installation is complete, a final walkthrough is conducted on the roof surface and around the perimeter. Bill reviews the completed work with you directly, not through a crew lead you’ve never met.
Cleanup — We Leave Your Property Better Than We Found It
All old materials, packaging, and job debris are removed and hauled away. A magnetic nail sweep is run across the yard, driveway, and landscaping. Gutters are cleared of roofing debris. By the time the crew leaves, the only evidence of the day’s work is the roof itself.
Choosing the Right Material for Your New Roof — and Why the Right Answer Depends on Your Home
There’s no single best roofing material. The right answer depends on your home’s structure, your budget, how long you plan to stay, your HOA requirements if applicable, and what kind of weather your roof is most likely to face.
Standard architectural shingles are the right call for most homes — cost-effective, durable, and available in Class 4 impact-resistant versions that hold up better under hail and often earn insurance discounts. Metal is the right call when longevity and energy efficiency outweigh the higher upfront cost. Tile is the right call when aesthetics, lifespan, and heat performance matter more than installation speed or budget.
We’ll tell you which one actually makes sense for your property — without steering you toward the highest-margin option.
If your city isn’t on the list, call us directly. The list covers the cities where we have dedicated content — but our actual service area is broader than what’s listed here.
Asphalt Shingles — Reliable, Versatile, and Available in Impact-Resistant Options
Architectural shingles run 25 to 35 years under normal conditions. Class 4 impact-resistant versions perform significantly better in hail-active areas and frequently qualify for insurance premium reductions that offset the upgrade cost over time. Most residential replacements we do use architectural shingles — they’re the right fit for the majority of homes.
Metal Roofing — the Long-Game Choice for Homeowners Who Want to Be Done With It
A standing seam metal roof installed today will almost certainly outlast your ownership of the home. Lifespan of 40 to 70 years, minimal maintenance requirements, and heat-reflective properties that reduce summer cooling loads make metal the right call for homeowners thinking in decades, not years.
Tile Roofing — Classic Performance Built to Last Decades
Clay and concrete tile roofs last 50+ years and handle heat and weather exceptionally well. They’re heavier than other materials, which means the structure needs to support the load — something we verify before recommending tile. For the right home, tile is an investment that pays for itself many times over.
Your Insurance Is Covering the Replacement — Here’s How We Make Sure It Covers Everything It Should
When insurance is involved in a replacement, the contractor you choose determines more than just the quality of the installation. It determines how much of the project actually gets covered.
Every competitor mentions insurance. What most don’t do is stay involved through the entire claims process — from the adjuster visit through the final settlement. We do.
When the Adjuster Recommends Replacement — What Happens Next
An adjuster recommendation for full replacement is the starting point, not the finish line. The initial settlement often reflects Actual Cash Value — meaning depreciation is held back until the work is completed and documented. Understanding that difference is the difference between thinking your claim is underpaid and knowing how to recover every dollar you’re entitled to.
How Depreciation Holdbacks Work (and How to Get That Money Back)
If your policy includes replacement cost coverage, your insurer may issue the first payment based on ACV, holding back the depreciation until the replacement is complete. Once final invoices and completion documentation are submitted, the held-back amount is released. Many homeowners don’t know this step exists and leave money sitting unclaimed. We make sure you don’t.
We Meet the Adjuster With You and Advocate for the Full Scope
Bill attends the adjuster visit, presents our documented findings, and advocates for a settlement that reflects the real scope of the damage — not just what the adjuster’s initial walkthrough covered. One customer had gutters, skylights, and additional structural repairs included in her settlement because Bill was in the room pushing for the complete picture. That outcome is documented in her own words.

Why Homeowners Who Research Their Options Keep Landing on Sprauer
There are plenty of roofing companies offering replacements. Here’s what makes the calls keep coming to Sprauer.
Bill Is on the Job — Not Just on the Estimate
Most companies send a sales team for the estimate and a crew for the work. You never see the same person twice. At Sprauer, Bill is there for both — and he’s on-site on the day of your replacement. That’s the accountability signal that shows up in every review.
We’ll Tell You Honestly When You Don’t Need a Full Replacement
If a repair would solve the problem, we’ll tell you that — even when a replacement would mean a larger job for us. That honesty is documented in real reviews, from homeowners who came in expecting a full replacement quote and walked away with a repair instead. It’s also why they came back.
One Call Covers the Roof, the Insurance, and Every Step Between
A replacement involves more than installation — it means documentation, permits, insurance navigation, HOA submissions if applicable, and decisions about materials most homeowners have never had to make before. One call to Sprauer starts all of it, and we stay involved through every step most contractors skip.
Most Replacements Are Completed in a Single Day
For most single-story homes, the full replacement — tear-off, inspection, installation, and cleanup — is done in one day. We give you a clear timeline before the job begins, show up on time, and finish what we said we would finish.

How Much Does a New Roof Installation Cost? Here’s the Honest Breakdown
For most residential replacements, the cost to replace a roof falls between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on roof size, pitch, and material selection. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and metal roofing carry higher upfront costs but frequently deliver long-term savings through reduced repairs and insurance premium discounts.
How much is a new roof for a commercial property? Commercial replacement costs vary more significantly — flat roof systems (TPO, modified bitumen) generally run lower per square than residential shingle systems, while standing seam commercial metal runs higher. Scope, access requirements, and drainage complexity all affect the final number. We provide fully itemized, no-obligation estimates for both residential and commercial projects.
If your project is insurance-funded, your out-of-pocket cost may be significantly lower depending on your deductible and whether your policy is actual cash value or replacement cost coverage.

You’ve done the research. You know what your roof needs, what the process looks like, and what kind of contractor you’re looking for. The only thing left is making the call.
There are roofing companies that will install a new roof on your home. Not many of them have the owner on-site every day, a documented track record of telling homeowners when they don’t need a replacement, and the full insurance advocacy that turns a storm claim into a completely restored property.
That combination — personal accountability, honest guidance, and real advocacy — is not something you’ll find everywhere. As part of the broader network of Austin roofing contractors serving Central Texas, Sprauer brings the same standard to every replacement that has earned over 100 five-star reviews across the region.
