Sparx Roofing / Roofing in Georgetown TX
One clear price for a new roof in Georgetown: $7 per square foot, with 30 year architectural shingles, tear off, haul away, and labor all included. No surprises, just a roof built for Central Texas weather.
Georgetown roofs take a beating. Spring brings hail and straight line winds that can strip a roof in minutes. Summer follows with months of triple digit heat baking the shingles from above while attic temperatures climb even higher. By the time a roof hits fifteen or twenty years old around here, the signs are usually plain: granule loss, curling edges, or a scatter of dents from the last hailstorm. A roof that looks fine from the curb may be losing its ability to shed water where it counts.
We replace roofs in Georgetown the same way we do in Killeen, Round Rock, Temple, and across Central Texas. One price, one system, no games. You get 30 year architectural shingles rated to handle the hail and wind we see every season. The old roof comes off down to the decking, everything gets hauled away, and the new roof goes on with fresh underlayment and flashing. When we leave, a magnet pass picks up the nails. The number to call is our quote form.
The price is seven dollars for every square foot of roof area, measured by us before any work is scheduled. That number covers the full job: 30 year architectural shingles, tear off of the existing roof, haul away of all debris, new underlayment and flashing, all labor, and a thorough cleanup with a magnet pass to pick up stray nails. The only thing it does not cover is rotten decking found after tear off. If we find bad wood, we show you, quote the replacement, and get your approval before we touch it.
Roof area is not the same as the square footage of your house. A roof with steep pitches, multiple gables, or wide overhangs will have more surface area than a simple ranch home of the same floor plan. We measure the actual roof, explain the number, and give you a firm total before you commit to anything. The table below gives you a clear idea of what that means for common Georgetown home sizes.
Georgetown sits squarely in the hail belt that runs through Central Texas. Spring storm season, roughly March through May, brings the kind of weather that keeps roofers busy. Hailstones here routinely reach the size that matters for shingle damage: one inch and above. A roof hit by quarter sized or larger hail may not leak right away, but the impact fractures the shingle mat and knocks off the protective granules. Over the next year or two, those spots bake in the sun and turn into leaks.
Wind damage is just as common and often overlooked. The same spring fronts that bring hail also deliver straight line winds that can lift shingles, break the seal strip, and crease them backward. Once the seal is broken, the shingle never lays flat again. On Georgetown homes with simple gable and hip roofs, the windward edges and ridge lines take the worst of it. After a big storm, we walk the roof and tell you plainly what we see, whether it is worth filing a claim or just making repairs.
$7 per square foot, material and labor included, on 30 year architectural shingles. Tear off, haul away, underlayment and flashing, labor and a magnet pass on the cleanup are all in that number. Rotten decking found after tear off is quoted and approved by you before it is replaced.
Most Georgetown homes fall into two broad categories: older ranch style houses with brick or hardboard siding and newer homes in planned developments. The older stock tends to have simple roof lines, moderate pitches, and composition shingles that are often near the end of their service life. The newer homes use similar shingle products but may have steeper pitches, more valleys, and more complex hip roof geometries. Both types benefit from the same straightforward approach to replacement.
The common roof shape in this area is a gable or hip roof with a pitch between 4/12 and 8/12. That is walkable territory for our crew, which means we can work efficiently and keep the job moving. Brick veneer exteriors are the norm, and they hold up well to the weather, but the roof over them needs to be right. Flashing details at brick walls, chimneys, and vent pipes are where leaks start when they are not done carefully. We replace all of it as part of the job.
We show up early with a full crew and a trailer. The first task is protecting the perimeter: tarps go down along the drip line to catch debris, and we position the dump trailer for easy access. Tear off starts at the farthest edge from the trailer and works back. Old shingles, felt, and nails come off down to the bare decking. The crew works section by section, and as each section is cleared, we inspect the wood underneath.
If the decking is sound, new underlayment goes down immediately. Then we start laying architectural shingles from the eaves up, overlapping each course according to the nail pattern and exposure that the product calls for. Ridge vents get replaced if your home has them, and all pipe boots, valley metal, and step flashing at walls and chimneys are installed new. At the end of the day, the crew does a full ground sweep with a magnetic roller to pick up any nails that escaped the tarps. The roof is done, the yard is clean, and nothing is left behind.
After a hailstorm, many Georgetown homeowners wonder whether to file a claim. We help by walking the roof and giving you a straight assessment. If the damage is minor, we say so. If it is widespread enough that a claim makes sense, we tell you that too. The decision is yours, and we do not push it either way. What we do is document what we see so you have clear information when you call your carrier.
Your deductible is yours to pay. Texas law is clear on that and we do not get around it for anybody. We never suggest that a deductible can be absorbed or discounted, and we never promise that a claim will be approved. The insurance company makes that decision, not us. We simply do the work at the price we quoted, and you settle the deductible with your carrier the way the policy requires. It keeps everything clean and legal.
The decking is the plywood or OSB layer under your shingles. In Central Texas, decking can rot around roof penetrations, at valley intersections, or along eaves where ice damming is not the issue but trapped moisture is. Older Georgetown homes sometimes have decking that has been absorbing small leaks for years without the homeowner knowing it. You cannot see it from the ground, and you cannot see it until the shingles come off.
We do not include decking replacement in the per square foot price because we do not know what is under the shingles until tear off. If we find soft or delaminated wood, we stop, show you the affected area, and quote a separate price to replace it. You approve it before we proceed. Most roofs need little to no decking work, but when it is needed, you will know exactly what it costs and why before we pick up a hammer.
The process starts with a phone call to our quote form. We set a time to come out and measure the roof. Measurement is free and takes about thirty minutes. We walk the roof if the pitch allows it, or measure from the ground with a wheel and ladder if needed. After we have the square footage, we give you a written number that matches the table on this page. That number is your price, period.
We serve Georgetown and the surrounding towns: Round Rock, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Belton, Temple, Salado, Nolanville, Waco, Austin, and the rest of Central Texas. If you are in Georgetown and need a roof, we can typically schedule the measurement within a few days of your call. Once you have the number and decide to move forward, we put you on the schedule and handle everything from there. No deposit, no fuss, just a new roof at a fair price.
It includes 30 year architectural shingles, tear off and haul away of the old roof, new underlayment and flashing, all labor, and a full cleanup with a magnet pass to pick up nails. The only thing not covered is rotten decking found after tear off, which is quoted separately and needs your approval before we replace it.
We come to your home and measure the actual roof surface, not the floor plan. Roof area is always larger than the home's living square footage because of pitch, overhangs, and multiple planes. We walk the roof if it is safe to do so or use a wheel and ladder to get an accurate number. You get the total before any work is scheduled.
Most homes are done in a single day. The crew arrives early, tears off the old roof, inspects the decking, and installs the new shingles, underlayment, and flashing. Cleanup happens the same day. Larger or more complex roofs may take a second day, but the goal is always to have the roof watertight by sundown on day one.
It depends on the extent of the damage. We walk the roof and tell you honestly what we see. If the damage is widespread and a claim is worth filing, we say so. If it is minor, we say that too. The decision is yours. We document the damage so you have clear information when you speak with your carrier.
No. We give you an honest assessment of the damage and a clear price for the work. You handle the claim with your carrier. We never promise a claim will be approved, and we never get involved in negotiating with the insurance company. Your deductible is yours to pay, and Texas law does not allow us to waive or discount it.
If your Georgetown roof needs replacing, call our quote form. We will come out, measure, and give you a firm price at $7 per square foot. No pressure, no surprises, just a roof ready for whatever Central Texas weather brings.
