Roof replacement in Anderson Mill typically runs $8,000-$20,000, while roof repair usually lands between $400-$1,800 depending on what the crew finds under the shingles.

If you’re looking at a roof that’s original to a 1976-1988 build, you’re not alone - that’s the majority of Anderson Mill’s housing stock, and those roofs are past due. Call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer and a free written estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Anderson Mill’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve worked too many Anderson Mill homes to show up and pretend the county line doesn’t matter. It does. Anderson Mill straddles unincorporated Williamson County and unincorporated Travis County, which means your roof permit may come from a Georgetown office with one set of code amendments, while your neighbor across the street gets a Travis County inspector working off a different cycle. A contractor who doesn’t know which side of the line you’re on will quote you a number that means nothing when the inspector flags a detail the other county already approved. We pull permits for every eligible roof in Anderson Mill, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s how we’ve operated since Tom founded the company in 1998.
Our crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and most of them are Tom’s sons and their teams - not subcontracted labor from a call sheet. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. Someone who knows which side of Anderson Mill you live on. And every roof we put on is backed by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Roofing Services in Anderson Mill
Roof Replacement & Installation
The homes we replace roofs on in Anderson Mill are almost all single-story or split-level brick-veneer built between 1976 and 1988. That means the original decking has had 40 to 50 years of Texas heat cycling on it, and the south-facing slopes - the ones that take direct sun all day - often show brittle, granule-shedding shingles long before the shady sides do. We tear off to the decking, check for rotted sheathing, install synthetic underlayment, and use GAF or CertainTeed systems that you can look up by name. A full replacement in Anderson Mill runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage, slope, and what we find once the old roof comes off.
Roof Repair
Most roof repairs in Anderson Mill are leak-driven. You see a stain on the ceiling, or you notice a musty smell in the attic after a rain, and the water’s been working its way down for weeks before you caught it. We fix the leak at the source - flashing, vent boot, valley, or ridge cap - and repair any decking damage. Typical repairs in Anderson Mill land between $400-$1,800. If you have recurring leaks around a chimney or a wall intersection, that’s a flashing failure, and patching won’t fix it. We’ll tell you that before we quote you.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are showing up more on Anderson Mill homes, particularly on larger lots and ranch-style houses where the homeowner wants to put a roof on once and stop thinking about it. Standing seam metal in Anderson Mill runs $15,000-$40,000, which is a real investment. But these roofs handle the 100-degree summers and the occasional hail event far better than asphalt, and they shed water fast on Anderson Mill’s shallow-pitch ranch roofs. We install standing seam and exposed-fastener systems, and we’ll walk you through the ventilation changes metal requires - older Anderson Mill attics often need additional venting added when you switch materials.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing is rarer in Anderson Mill than in newer Hill Country subdivisions, but we do service it. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile show up on some of the larger custom homes on the western edge near the limestone breaks. Tile roof repair in Anderson Mill typically runs $600-$2,500. When tile fails, it’s usually a cracked or slipped tile, a damaged underlayment beneath the tile, or flashing at the hips and valleys. We carry replacement tile profiles for the most common Anderson Mill installations and can match existing colors where the manufacturer still produces them.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anderson Mill
We don’t put mystery materials on your roof. The shingles, underlayment, and flashing we install in Anderson Mill come from names you can verify - GAF and CertainTeed for asphalt systems, and Simonton for any skylight or roof-adjacent window work that comes up during a roofing project. Our Roofing team stocks common flashing profiles, vent boots, and ridge caps locally, so a repair on a standard Anderson Mill ranch doesn’t wait on a parts order out of Dallas. When a window replacement or skylight upgrade is part of your roofing scope in Anderson Mill, we spec Simonton or Ply Gem products - same brands we carry across our window and door division.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Anderson Mill Homes
- Brittle original composition shingles on south-facing slopes: The 1976-1988 Anderson Mill builds came with 20- to 25-year shingles, and nearly all of them are now 10 to 20 years past that. South slopes bake in the sun, lose granules, and crack at the tabs - and the leaks often rot the decking before you see a ceiling stain.
- Flashing failures at brick chimneys and wall intersections: Original step flashing on 40-year-old Anderson Mill homes has pulled away from the mortar or corroded at the fasteners. Water gets behind the flashing, runs down the sheathing, and the first sign is often paint bubbling at the ceiling, not water dripping.
- Clay-shift cracking at roof-to-wall intersections: Anderson Mill sits on expansive Vertisol clay that heaves through wet-dry cycles. Post-tension slabs absorb most of the movement, but small cracks can open where the roofline meets the brick veneer, letting water in around the flashings. Homes near the limestone karst on the west side get it differently than the prairie side - so we inspect these joints on every roof we touch here.
- Improper attic ventilation in original builds: The 1970s and 80s homes in Anderson Mill frequently have insufficient ridge and soffit venting. Trapped heat and moisture shorten shingle life and can rot decking from below, even when the roofing surface looks fine from the street.

FAQs - Roofing in Anderson Mill
Yes. In Anderson Mill, your permit is issued either by unincorporated Williamson County - processed through the Georgetown office with its older IRC amendment schedule - or by Travis County, depending on which side of the county line your address falls. We confirm the jurisdiction by your specific parcel before we pull the permit, because the two counties enforce different code cycles and the inspector you get matters for how the job gets signed off. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your address.
We don’t recommend it, and in most cases it won’t pass inspection in either county if the decking below shows damage. Overlay traps the failed underlayment and flashing problems beneath a new surface, and on Anderson Mill’s 40- to 50-year-old roofs, the decking is usually the problem anyway. Tear-off to the decking, inspect the sheathing, and install new underlayment and flashing - that’s a real fix, not a cover-up. We’ll give you an honest written quote for both options so you can see the actual difference.
That’s typically clay-shift movement. Anderson Mill sits on expansive Vertisol soil that shrinks in dry months and swells after rain. Your post-tension slab rides the movement, but the roof-to-wall intersection can open a small gap, and the flashing - often original - gets pulled or separated. It’s a common Anderson Mill failure mode, and it’s repairable, but it needs a roofer who’ll inspect the joint, not just caulk the surface. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on the repair.
Most Anderson Mill roof replacements take 3 to 5 working days from tear-off to final inspection sign-off. The weld is the inspection schedule: Williamson County permits process through Georgetown with one timeline, Travis County through its office with another, and the gap between rough and final can add a day or two depending on which side of the line you’re on. We schedule inspections the day work begins so the county is lined up before the roof is off. You’ll have a written timeline before we start, and we hold to it.
Most Anderson Mill ranch and split-level homes were framed with 2×4 or 2×6 rafters on 24-inch centers, which generally supports a standing seam metal system without reinforcement. But if your home has been through significant clay-shift movement, or if you’re on the limestone side where footing conditions vary, we’ll have a structural engineer verify the load path before we quote the metal install. That’s part of the written scope - not a surprise after tear-off. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your specific home.
If your roof is 30, 40, or 50 years old and you’re reading this from Anderson Mill, don’t wait for the next big storm. Call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate. We’ll tell you what’s wrong, what it costs, which county handles your permit, and whether it’s a repair or a replacement. No pressure. No surprise invoices. Just a straight answer from a name you can verify.
