AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Shady Hollow
If you live in Shady Hollow, you already know the sound: branches scraping the shingles during a spring storm, or the slow brown stain spreading across a bedroom ceiling after a hard rain. Homes in 78739 were mostly built between 1983 and 1998, which means a lot of original roofs are now 30 to 40 years old and showing their age. Roof repair in Shady Hollow typically runs $400 to $1,800, and a full roof replacement usually falls between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on the number of squares, pitch, and whether we’re working around protected live oaks. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews that work in Shady Hollow. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Shady Hollow’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise and we don’t send strangers from out of state. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and he still answers his own phone. His name, his address, and his license number are published, and you can look all of it up before you sign anything. We think you should.
Shady Hollow customers tend to ask the same questions: who’s actually on the roof, will the price change, and will the permit get pulled. The answers are the same every time. The crew members are background-checked and uniformed, they carry the Barrett & Sons name, and Tom or one of his sons is on-site most days. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. And every eligible job gets its permits pulled and inspections signed, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
We also back every roof we install with a 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Roofing Services in Shady Hollow
Our Roofing team handles the full range of work in Shady Hollow, from a small leak repair on a cedar elm-shaded ranch to a complete tear-off and re-roof on a two-story brick veneer off Slaughter Lane. Here’s what most Shady Hollow homeowners call us about.
Roof Repair
Most roof repairs in Shady Hollow come down to three things: wind-lifted shingles, flashing failures around chimneys and skylights, and punctures from falling oak limbs. We inspect the whole surface, not just the visible damage, and we write the scope before we touch anything. A typical Shady Hollow roof repair runs $400 to $1,800.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When the original 1980s or 1990s roof has reached the end of its life, a full replacement in Shady Hollow generally runs $8,000 to $20,000. We use GAF and CertainTeed materials because they’re brands you can look up and verify, not mystery stock off a van. We also coordinate with the City of Austin when protected trees sit close to the roofline and any access or staging plan needs urban forestry sign-off.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are popular in Shady Hollow for a reason: they shed hail better than asphalt and they last decades longer, which matters when you’re planning to stay in the house. A standing seam metal roof in 78739 typically runs $15,000 to $40,000. It’s a bigger upfront number, but the math flips when you consider this is likely the last roof you’ll buy for that home.
Tile Roofing
A handful of higher-end Shady Hollow builds feature barrel tile roofs, and those need a different set of hands. Cracked or slipped barrel tiles are common after hail events. Tile roof repair in Shady Hollow runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles we’re replacing and whether the underlayment is intact. We match the profile and color as closely as the original batch allows.

Trusted Brands We Service in Shady Hollow
We carry GAF and CertainTeed roofing lines because we want Shady Hollow homeowners to see exactly what’s going on the roof before we nail a single shingle. The same goes for any metal or tile system we install. Having local stock access for Shady Hollow jobs keeps turnaround tight when a repair can’t wait for a shipment from the distributor across town.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Shady Hollow Homes
Shady Hollow’s tree canopy is the defining feature of the neighborhood, and it’s also the defining challenge for roofing. Here are the recurring problems we see in 78739:
- Tree limb and debris damage from the live oak canopy. Shady Hollow was deliberately developed around mature live oaks and cedar elms, so nearly every lot has branches over or near the roofline. Falling limbs puncture shingles, and accumulated leaf litter holds moisture against the decking and causes rot.
- Flashing failures around chimneys and valley intersections. With so many original 1980s and 1990s roofs still in service, the galvanized flashing is often older than it looks. Once the sealant fails, water follows the gap straight into the attic.
- Hail and wind damage from spring storm lines. Shady Hollow sits on the Balcones Escarpment transition zone, which tends to catch the brunt of fast-moving spring cells. We regularly see lifted shingle tabs and dented vents after those storms push through from the west.
- Poor ventilation and older decking. Many original Shady Hollow builds used construction practices well below what current code requires. We often find inadequate ridge and soffit vents, which shortens shingle life and drives up attic temperatures in July.

FAQs - Roofing in Shady Hollow
If you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers around the clock, every day.

We do. When storms move through the Shady Hollow area, we get calls for lifted shingles, punctures from fallen limbs, and water coming through the ceiling. We’ll tarp and secure the roof to stop further damage, then walk you through the insurance and repair scope step by step. Every repair or replacement gets a written change order before work proceeds, so there are no surprises at the end.
It can be, and the reason is the tree canopy. Jobs in Shady Hollow more often require protected-tree coordination, restricted access staging, or extra tear-off care to avoid damaging root zones. We won’t pad a bid for that, but a Shady Hollow roof is sometimes a slower, more careful job than the same roof a few miles south. Expect repair work to run $400 to $1,800 and full replacement from $8,000 to $20,000.
Every complete roofing job from Barrett & Sons Construction includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract.
