Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Lost Creek
A full roof replacement in Lost Creek typically runs $14,000 to $38,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and material grade, and most custom estate homes here land between $18,000 and $28,000. We’re Crestview Roofing Co Austin, and we’ve worked on enough homes along Lost Creek Boulevard, around Barton Creek, and up into the Westlake-adjacent hills to know exactly what these roofs demand. Call (254) 587-6371 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone climbs a ladder.
Why Crestview Roofing Co Austin Is Lost Creek’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Lost Creek isn’t a subdivision of cookie-cutter ranches. You live in large, custom-built homes with steep pitches, multiple dormers, skylights, and architectural details that a production roofer will flat-out get wrong. Our crews here understand that a roof on a 1970s estate home near Lost Creek Country Club was likely framed, decked, and flashed to standards very different from a 2010s build off Capital of Texas Highway. That matters when we’re quoting valley rebuilds and flashing work.
We put every price in writing before work starts. No change orders mid-tear-off, no “we found rotted decking” surprise at the door. You’ll see who’s arriving before they pull up, because our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and you get before-and-after photo documentation of every layer we touch. Dylan Pace runs this outfit, and he’s built Crestview Roofing around one idea since 2000: the number on the page is the number on the invoice. That’s The Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it governs every roof we replace in Lost Creek.
When a spring hailstorm rolls through the Hill Country, phones ring off the hook at every roofing company in Austin. We answer ours with a live person, 24/7. You won’t get a voicemail loop on a Sunday night. You’ll get a real schedule and a written quote, usually within days of your call.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Lost Creek
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Lost Creek does more than strip shingles and nail down new ones. On these homes, the job starts with an honest assessment of what’s beneath the surface: decking rot, failed valley metal, skylight flashing that’s been leaking for years. That’s the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and one that leaks through the first heavy downpour in April.
We tell homeowners to expect a full tear-off on most Lost Creek roof replacements. The existing roof comes off to the decking. We inspect every sheet of plywood or OSB, replace anything soft, and then build the roof back in layers: underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations, flashing, shingles or tile, and ventilation. A tear-off on a 34-square home with steep pitches and nine skylights takes longer than a simple ranch-style roof in Jollyville, and the materials cost more, too. Figure $450 to $650 per square for a quality architectural shingle roof with proper underlayment and flashing on these custom homes.
When Lost Creek Homeowners Call Us
Most calls start after a storm, an insurance claim, or a visible leak staining a ceiling. But by the time water is inside, the roof has usually been failing for a while. We tell homeowners to look for granule loss in gutters, curling shingle edges, and dark streaks running down valleys. If your roof is 18 to 22 years old and was installed with original builder-grade materials, it’s probably time to plan a replacement rather than patch it.
The Written Price Guarantee
We don’t quote by phone and then adjust when we’re on site. We inspect first, then hand you a line-item written price that covers tear-off, dump fees, decking replacement if needed, underlayment, ice and water shield, shingles, flashing, and ventilation. If we find hidden rot during tear-off, we stop, show you photos, and get written approval before any additional work. That’s how a Roof Replacement contractor should operate, and it’s the only way we do it here.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Lost Creek
An Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Lost Creek means more than picking a color. The hall conversion to architectural shingles is now the standard on these homes, and for good reason: dimensional shingles like Owens Corning Duration carry a 130 mph wind rating when installed with the correct nailing pattern. That matters when the spring hail and straight-line winds barrel through the Hill Country.
Most Lost Creek homeowners choose architectural shingles because they handle impact better than three-tab, look right on a steep custom roof, and last 25 to 30 years with proper ventilation. We install architectural shingles from Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, and we follow the manufacturer’s nailing pattern exactly. A lot of roofers in Austin run nails too high on the shingle, which voids the wind rating and leaves the roof vulnerable to the exact storm that made you replace it in the first place.
Architectural Shingles on Steep, Complex Roofs
Steep pitches and multiple valleys mean more waste, more hand-nailing in tight spots, and more flashing work. An 8/12 or 9/12 pitch roof in Lost Creek can’t be walked the same way a 5/12 roof in Kyle can. Our crews use roof brackets and proper fall protection, and we slow down where the valleys meet the dormers, because that’s where most leaks start.
Decking and Underlayment Before the Shingles
We don’t put new shingles over rotten plywood. Every Lost Creek tear-off includes a full decking inspection, and we replace any sheathing that’s soft, delaminated, or water-stained. Then we lay synthetic underlayment, followed by ice and water shield in all valleys, around skylights, and along eaves. That membrane is what keeps water out when the wind drives rain uphill under the shingles. Shingles shed water. Underlayment stops it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lost Creek
We install and repair architectural shingle roofs using manufacturer-backed materials from Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and others. We stock common colors and profiles for Lost Creek homes, so when a storm takes out a section of roof on a 1980s estate near Barton Creek, we’re not waiting three weeks on a special order from a distributor in Dallas. Owens Corning Duration remains the most popular pick here for its wind rating and color depth, but IKO and Atlas both make excellent architectural shingles at competitive price points. We’ll show you samples and give you a written comparison before you commit.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Lost Creek Homes
- Water intrusion at valley metal intersections. Lost Creek’s custom estate homes often have steeply pitched roofs with multiple valleys and dormers. When the original valley metal is undersized or the underlayment beneath it was skipped, water backs up during sudden downpours and rots the decking below. This is the single most common reason we’re called out for a full replacement here.
- Rotted decking hidden beneath aging skylight flashing. Skylights on 1970s and 80s Lost Creek homes were often flashed with materials that have long since failed. By the time the leak is visible inside, the plywood around the curb is already gone. We replace the decking, re-flash the skylight, and wrap the curb in ice and water shield.
- Voided wind ratings from shortcut nailing. If the roofer who installed your architectural shingles nailed them too high or drove fasteners at the wrong angle, those shingles don’t carry their 130 mph rating. We see this constantly in Lost Creek, where the wind exposure is real and homeowners assume they’re protected when they aren’t.
- Improper flashing around chimneys and dormer walls. Custom millwork and steep wall intersections need custom metal. A roofer who bends a generic piece of step flashing and caulks the gap has built a leak. We re-flash these intersections properly, matching the existing copper or painted metal where we can.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Lost Creek
A full replacement on a custom home with steep pitches, multiple valleys, and skylights typically takes 5 to 10 working days. The tear-off and decking inspection are usually done in the first two days, and valley rebuilds with custom metal and skylight re-flashing add time. Weather delays in spring and fall are real here, but we’ll give you a written schedule with your estimate, and you’ll get photo updates as each layer goes down. Call (254) 587-6371 for a timeline specific to your roof.
Yes, and we install it on every roof in Lost Creek regardless of snow. Ice and water shield isn’t just for ice dams. It’s a self-sealing membrane that prevents wind-driven rain from backing up under shingles in valleys and around skylights, which is exactly the failure mode we see on custom homes here during intense Hill Country downpours. We place it in every valley, around every penetration, and along the eaves as standard practice.
A roofing square is 100 square feet of roof area, so a 34-square roof covers about 3,400 square feet of roof surface. Quotes by square are the industry standard, but they mean nothing if the roofer hasn’t measured your actual roof. We measure every plane, valley, and dormer on-site, then give you a written quote broken down by squares, materials, and labor. Call (254) 587-6371 and we’ll walk you through the math on your own roof.
In most cases, yes. We’re careful around eaves, rakes, and fascia boards, and we don’t tear out wood that isn’t rotten. If a fascia board behind the gutter is soft, we’ll show you a photo and replace only that section rather than re-trimming the whole elevation. On a recent replacement near Lost Creek Boulevard, we preserved original custom wood trim and matched the copper valley metal to the home’s existing millwork. That level of care is standard here, not an upsell.
They do, but only if they’re installed correctly. Architectural shingles from Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas carry impact ratings and wind ratings up to 130 mph, but improper nailing voids those ratings. We follow the manufacturer’s fastening pattern on every course, which is the difference between a roof that survives a spring storm and one that loses shingles in the first high-wind event. Call (254) 587-6371 for a written quote that specifies the exact shingle and installation standard.
