Why Georgetown Roofs Need to Be Built Differently
Williamson County's Roofing Challenges
Georgetown experienced 18 significant hail events in 2025 alone, including an April storm that produced tennis ball-sized hail and damaged up to 50,000 structures. Standard roofing simply isn't designed for this level of exposure. Here's what your new roof needs to withstand:
Catastrophic Hail Events
Impact: The April 2025 storm produced hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter, damaging an estimated 29,000-50,000 structures. Standard architectural shingles sustain damage that shortens their lifespan dramatically—some roofs failed completely in a single event.
Our Solution: We recommend impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles for Georgetown homes. They cost 15-20% more upfront but withstand hail that destroys standard shingles, often qualifying for insurance discounts of 10-28%. For maximum protection, standing seam metal dents but doesn't fail.
High-Velocity Winds
Impact: Severe thunderstorms bring 60-80 mph gusts multiple times per year. Improperly installed roofs experience edge lifting, shingle loss, and progressive failure. Once one shingle lifts, water intrusion begins.
Our Solution: We use high-wind installation methods regardless of code minimum requirements: 6-nail pattern on all shingles, enhanced starter strips, properly secured drip edge. GAF WindProven warranty covers unlimited wind speeds when installed correctly.
Extreme UV & Heat
Impact: Georgetown gets 220+ sunny days per year with UV index regularly exceeding 10. Roof surface temperatures reach 160°F+ in summer. Poor-quality shingles show premature granule loss, cracking, and curling within 10-15 years.
Our Solution: We install premium architectural shingles designed for Texas heat. Timberline HDZ and similar products have reinforced nailing zones, stronger adhesive systems, and better UV resistance than builder-grade materials.
Heavy Rain Events
Impact: When rain comes to Central Texas, it comes hard—2-4 inches in an hour during severe storms. Improper valley and flashing installation leads to water intrusion. Inadequate drainage compounds the problem.
Our Solution: We use ice and water shield in all valleys and critical areas (not just where code requires), proper step flashing techniques, and calculate ventilation requirements for each home.
Thermal Cycling
Impact: Daily temperature swings of 30-50°F stress roofing materials through constant expansion and contraction. Seals fail, flashings pull away, and shingles develop cracks over time—especially on south and west exposures.
Our Solution: We use commercial-grade sealants rated for temperature extremes, proper expansion allowances in metal flashings, and SBS-modified shingles when appropriate.
Roof Replacement by Georgetown Neighborhood
Georgetown's diverse housing stock means different replacement considerations. Here's what we typically encounter:
Sun City
Active adult (55+) community with homes from 2000s-2010s. Three golf courses, extensive amenities. Single-story designs predominate. Generally good initial construction quality.
Many Sun City roofs are 10-20 years old—prime candidates for storm-damage replacement or proactive upgrades. Single-story designs make installation straightforward. HOA has architectural standards—we handle documentation. Impact-resistant upgrades are popular among residents tired of post-storm claims.
Berry Creek
Established golf course community with homes from 1990s-2000s. Range from starter homes in Villages to luxury in The Reserve. Country club lifestyle.
Original roofs in older sections are 25-35 years old—often at replacement age regardless of storm damage. Newer sections may have storm damage worth replacing under insurance. Complex architectural styles in higher-end areas require careful material selection. We know Berry Creek HOA requirements.
Cimarron Hills
Exclusive gated community with Jack Nicklaus golf course. Custom and semi-custom homes with premium finishes. Higher property values.
Premium materials appropriate for premium homes. Designer shingles or standing seam metal match the community aesthetic. Complex roof designs require experienced crews. HOA standards are strict—we ensure compliance.
Wolf Ranch
Master-planned community with newer construction (2010s-present). Retail and amenities within community. Mix of home sizes and price points.
Newer roofs may still have warranty coverage—verify before assuming replacement is needed. Storm damage on recent construction is usually clearly identifiable. When replacement is necessary, upgrading from builder-grade to premium materials makes long-term sense.
Teravista
Growing master-planned community spanning Georgetown and Round Rock. Newer construction with modern amenities. Range of product types.
Similar to Wolf Ranch—newer construction often has warranty coverage. Check for storm damage that qualifies for insurance replacement. Consider impact-resistant upgrade during insurance-covered replacement.
Historic Downtown Georgetown
Older homes near the famous square, many from early-to-mid 1900s. Historic character with varied maintenance levels.
Older homes may have been through multiple roof cycles. Some have architectural requirements for historic character. Simpler designs often, but older construction may reveal surprises (decking condition, ventilation issues). Honest assessment is essential.
Georgetown Roof Replacement Costs
Roof replacement cost depends on size, materials, and complexity. Here's what Georgetown homeowners typically invest:
Architectural Shingles (Standard)
$14,000 - $20,000
Most popular choice. GAF Timberline HDZ or equivalent. 25-30 year manufacturer warranty, up to 50-year with proper installation. Good balance of cost, appearance, and performance.
Impact-Resistant (Class 4)
$17,000 - $25,000
Recommended for Georgetown's hail exposure. GAF Armor Shield II or equivalent. Designed to withstand hail that destroys standard shingles. Potential insurance discounts of 10-28% offset the higher cost.
Designer/Premium Shingles
$20,000 - $30,000
Higher-end appearance with improved performance. Grand Canyon, Camelot, or similar. Thicker profiles, enhanced warranties. Appropriate for Cimarron Hills, The Reserve at Berry Creek.
Standing Seam Metal
$28,000 - $48,000
Ultimate hail resistance—dents but doesn't fail. 40-60 year lifespan. Lowest lifecycle cost despite highest upfront investment. Excellent for homeowners planning to stay long-term.
Metal Shingles/Stone-Coated Steel
$22,000 - $38,000
Metal durability with shingle appearance. Good option for HOAs that don't allow standing seam aesthetics. Impact resistant and long-lasting.
Factors Affecting Price

Our Roof Replacement Process
Replacing a roof is a significant investment. Here's exactly how we approach it in Georgetown:
Free Inspection & Consultation
We inspect your existing roof, measure accurately using satellite imagery and on-roof verification, assess decking condition from the attic, and discuss your priorities (budget, appearance, performance, longevity).
Local Note: For Georgetown homes, we specifically discuss hail resistance options and insurance implications. After the April 2025 storm, many homes qualify for insurance replacement—we help determine if yours does.
Detailed Written Estimate
You receive itemized pricing including tear-off, materials, labor, and warranty options. We explain the differences between material choices and help you make an informed decision—no pressure tactics.
Local Note: For Sun City, Berry Creek, and other HOA communities, we include documentation assistance for architectural review.
Material Selection
Choose your shingle style, color, and features. We provide samples and show you installed examples in the area.
Local Note: We can show you examples of our work throughout Georgetown—likely within a few minutes of your home. Seeing materials installed helps with color decisions.
Scheduling & Permits
We schedule your project, order materials, and handle City of Georgetown permit applications. Most permits process within 5-7 business days.
Local Note: Georgetown requires permits for roof replacement. We handle the entire process and schedule the required inspection.
Project Day Preparation
The day before installation, we confirm weather conditions and delivery timing. We ask you to clear vehicles from the driveway and move fragile items away from exterior walls.
Installation Day
Crew arrives early (typically 7 AM). We protect landscaping and home exterior, complete tear-off, inspect and repair decking as needed, install new roof system, and clean up thoroughly. Most roofs complete in 1-2 days.
Local Note: We use tarps and magnetic sweepers to protect your property and clean up nails. Sun City residents appreciate our minimal disruption approach.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
We inspect our own work before you do, then walk through the completed project with you. We schedule the city inspection (required before warranty activation).
Warranty Registration
We register your manufacturer warranty and provide all documentation. For GAF warranties, we submit registration within 30 days ensuring maximum coverage activation.
Local Note: As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we offer warranties unavailable through most roofers—including 50-year coverage and wind warranties without speed limits.
Roofing Materials for Georgetown
Material choice significantly impacts how your roof performs in Williamson County's challenging climate. Here's our honest assessment:
GAF Timberline HDZ
Why for Georgetown
The most popular architectural shingle in America, and for good reason. StrikeZone nailing area reduces installation error. LayerLock technology creates the flat appearance of more expensive shingles. Good wind and algae resistance.
Best For
Budget-conscious homeowners wanting quality that lasts 25-30+ years
Considerations
Not impact-rated. In Georgetown's hail environment, you may face replacement again after a major storm. Consider Class 4 upgrade if budget allows.
GAF Armor Shield II (Class 4)
Why for Georgetown
Our top recommendation for Georgetown. Impact-resistant rating means it withstands hail that destroys standard shingles. SBS-modified asphalt stays flexible in heat and cold. Most insurers offer 10-28% discounts for Class 4 shingles.
Best For
Homeowners who want to stop worrying about hail damage
Considerations
Costs 15-20% more than standard architectural. Insurance discounts often offset this difference within 3-5 years. Limited color selection compared to non-impact shingles.
Designer Shingles (Grand Canyon, Camelot)
Why for Georgetown
Premium appearance that elevates curb appeal. Thicker construction provides some improved durability. Available in distinctive styles that mimic wood shake or slate.
Best For
Upscale homes in Cimarron Hills, The Reserve at Berry Creek, or when resale value is a priority
Considerations
Higher cost for primarily aesthetic benefits. Some designer options are not impact-rated—check specifications if hail resistance matters.
Standing Seam Metal
Why for Georgetown
The ultimate hail-resistant roofing. Metal dents from hail but doesn't lose function—unlike shingles that crack and lose granules. 40-60 year lifespan with minimal maintenance. Reflects heat, reducing cooling costs.
Best For
Homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term and wanting maximum durability
Considerations
Highest upfront cost. Lowest lifecycle cost. Noise during rain (can be mitigated with proper underlayment). Not every HOA permits standing seam aesthetics.
Stone-Coated Steel
Why for Georgetown
Combines metal durability with traditional shingle appearance. Impact-resistant, long-lasting, and typically approved by HOAs that reject standing seam.
Best For
HOA-restricted neighborhoods where standing seam isn't allowed but metal durability is desired
Considerations
More expensive than asphalt, less expensive than standing seam. Some brands have better reputations than others—we specify quality manufacturers.
Why Georgetown Homeowners Choose Lapeyre Roofing
A roof replacement is a major investment. Here's why Georgetown families trust us with their homes:
GAF Master Elite Certification
Only 2% of roofing contractors nationwide earn GAF Master Elite status. This certification requires proven installation quality, ongoing training, and customer satisfaction standards. It also unlocks warranty options unavailable through other contractors—including 50-year coverage.
Built for Central Texas
We install every roof expecting it to face major hail, 70+ mph winds, and 160°F surface temperatures. Our installation methods exceed code minimums because code minimums aren't designed for Georgetown's weather reality.
Post-Storm Experience
We've helped hundreds of Georgetown homeowners after major storms, including the April 2025 event. We know how to document damage for insurance, navigate the claims process, and execute replacements efficiently during high-demand periods.
Transparent Pricing
Our estimates itemize everything—no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons. If we find decking damage during tear-off, we show you before proceeding and charge only what we quoted.
Clean, Respectful Crews
Our crews are employees, not subcontractors—trained to our standards and accountable to us. They protect your landscaping, clean up thoroughly, and treat your property with respect.
Our Experience in Georgetown
We've replaced roofs throughout Georgetown—from the active-adult community of Sun City to the historic homes near the square. The April 2025 storm was the largest single event we've responded to, with tennis ball-sized hail damaging an estimated 29,000-50,000 structures.
In the weeks following that storm, we deployed multiple crews across Georgetown. We helped homeowners navigate insurance claims, documented damage thoroughly, and executed replacements as quickly as material availability allowed. That experience reinforced what we already knew: Georgetown needs roofs built for this climate, not roofs built to minimum code.
The homes that performed best in April 2025 had either impact-resistant materials, quality installation, or both. The ones that failed catastrophically were often newer but built with builder-grade materials to minimum standards. We approach every Georgetown replacement knowing it needs to survive the next April storm—and the one after that.
We've also navigated every major Georgetown HOA. Sun City, Berry Creek, Cimarron Hills, Wolf Ranch—we know their requirements, their approval processes, and how to document submissions correctly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Georgetown?
Most Georgetown homes (2,000-3,000 sq ft) complete in 1-2 days. Larger homes or complex roofs may take 2-3 days. Weather can affect timing—we won't start a project if rain is likely. We schedule efficiently to minimize disruption while never rushing quality.
Will insurance cover my Georgetown roof replacement?
If your roof has documented storm damage (hail, wind), insurance typically covers replacement minus your deductible. After the April 2025 storm, many Georgetown roofs qualify. We provide detailed documentation with photos and measurements that support claims. For roofs at end-of-life from normal wear, insurance generally doesn't cover replacement.
Should I get an impact-resistant roof in Georgetown?
We recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for most Georgetown homes. The 15-20% higher cost is often offset by insurance discounts (10-28%) within 3-5 years. More importantly, you avoid the hassle and cost of post-storm repairs and claims. Given Georgetown's hail frequency, it's usually the smarter investment.
What warranty options are available?
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we offer: System Plus (10-year workmanship + 50-year materials), Silver Pledge (25-year workmanship + 50-year materials), and Golden Pledge (50-year workmanship + 50-year materials). Golden Pledge is transferable and fully covers labor and materials for 50 years.
Does Georgetown require permits for roof replacement?
Yes. The City of Georgetown requires permits for roof replacement. We handle the entire permit process—application, fees, and scheduling inspection. The required inspection must pass before manufacturer warranties activate. Never use a contractor who suggests skipping permits.
How do I handle Sun City HOA approval?
We handle Sun City documentation for you. We submit material specifications, color samples, and required forms. Sun City has specific approved colors and styles—we ensure your selection meets requirements. Approval typically takes 1-2 weeks.
What happens if you find damaged decking?
We disclose our per-sheet decking repair rate upfront (typically $75-150 per 4x8 sheet). If we discover damage during tear-off, we show you before repairing and only charge what was quoted. Decking repair is common on older Georgetown homes—we find damage on about 30% of replacements.
How long after the April 2025 storm should I wait to replace?
Don't wait too long—unaddressed storm damage leads to secondary issues like leaks and interior damage. However, material availability and contractor schedules have stabilized since the immediate post-storm period. Now is a good time to proceed with planned replacements.
Can I see examples of your work in Georgetown?
Yes. We've completed projects throughout Georgetown and can show you installations in most neighborhoods including Sun City, Berry Creek, and Wolf Ranch. Seeing materials on actual homes helps with color selection.
What's the best time of year for roof replacement in Georgetown?
Any season works, but spring and fall are ideal—moderate temperatures and fewer weather delays. Summer heat doesn't prevent installation but requires early starts. Avoid scheduling during peak storm season (April-May) if possible—demand spikes and scheduling is harder.
