Why this combination
Roof Replacement tuned for realtors & home sellers.
This page is for listing agents preparing a property for market, buyer's agents responding to an inspection report, sellers who want to know what their roof will mean at the negotiating table, and investors turning properties in the Austin metro. It applies across the market, from a 1940s Tarrytown, Zilker, or Windsor Park house with an aging roof to a 1990s Round Rock or Cedar Park two-story that took hail last spring, and to a Georgetown or Lakeway listing where the buyer's insurer is asking questions. If a roof is standing between you and a closing, this is the page.
Within that, roof replacement is one of the workstreams (4 total) we run for realtors & home sellers. The scope, cadence, and reporting are tuned to the operational reality of this audience — not a generic roofing checklist.
How we approach it:
Honest replacement numbers for negotiation
When a roof really is at the end of its life, both sides need a real number. We provide a written replacement quote, typically $9,000 to $18,000 for a 2,000 square foot Austin home, with shingle options spelled out so a buyer credit or seller replacement can be negotiated on facts. If the seller replaces before closing, we complete it on the transaction's timeline and provide warranty registration and photos. If the buyer takes a credit, our quote is the number they carry forward.
What goes wrong
Common roof replacement failure modes for realtors & home sellers
Failure patterns we see across realtors & home sellers accounts — the ones our scope is designed to prevent.
The buyer's inspector flagged the roof, vaguely
General home inspectors are not roofers, and their language shows it: 'roof appears to be near end of life,' 'recommend evaluation by a licensed roofer.' That sentence can cost a seller thousands in credits or blow up a deal, even when the roof has ten years left. A roof-specific inspection with photos, a real remaining-life estimate, and a fixed repair quote for anything actually wrong turns a vague flag into a document both sides can work from.
Hail damage nobody disclosed because nobody knew
A lot of Austin homes went through a hail event two or three springs ago and never got inspected. The seller does not know. The buyer's inspector may or may not catch it. Then the buyer's insurer inspects after closing and the new owner finds out their roof has undisclosed storm damage and a claim window that may already be closed. A pre-listing inspection surfaces this while there is still time to handle it properly.
Closing timelines that do not wait for contractors
Inspection contingencies run in days, not weeks. Repair addendums require the work to be done and documented before closing. Most contractors quote in a week and schedule in three. We prioritize transaction work: inspection within a day or two, a written report the same day, and repairs scheduled to hit the addendum deadline. When a replacement is agreed, we can usually complete it before closing and provide the documentation the title company and lender want.
Insurers asking for roof age and condition before binding
Texas insurers increasingly ask for roof age and sometimes a condition report before they will write a policy, and some will not bind on roofs over a certain age without an inspection. Buyers find this out days before closing. A written roof inspection report with photos and an age estimate, plus documentation of any repairs, is usually what the insurer needs. We produce it in a format agents can forward directly.
