How we rank these companies

5 inputs decide every position, applied in a fixed order, and all of them are printed here. For Austin the first input, BBB rating and accreditation, is partial: 26 of the 30 companies have a grade we read from one bbb.org search-result card, and complaint counts and accreditation are not available, because bbb.org profile pages sit behind a challenge our tools do not pass. The 4 companies with no listing we could match fall into the unrated band, which means unmatched, not poorly rated. Within a band the Google review score decides (smoothed so a few reviews cannot beat many), then review count and years trading.

We do not accept payment for placement and no company can buy a higher position. 26 companies have a BBB profile we could link. Manufacturer certifications were not queried for Austin, so none is shown, and a company without one here is not a company without one.

The Google record is the strongest data we hold: 13,389 reviews across the 30 companies, pulled 19 October 2026. The roster is the 30 highest-reviewed Google listings that passed a documented filter (roofing category, street address, phone, own domain, at least 100 reviews), so it leans to large firms; review count decided who is in the pack, not who is better. Years trading is not entered for any company, and a company without one is not penalized for it. Texas has no state roofing license, so permit matches and other public records are informational only and never move a ranking.

What an Austin roof is up against

Hail, some years. NOAA logged hail reports somewhere in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties on an average of 7.1 separate days a year from 2010 to 2025, from 2 days in 2010 to 12 in 2025. The largest stone on record measured 4 inches. Read the county tables on the hail history page.

The City of Austin's open permit file lists 1,632 building permits naming re-roof work from October 2023 to October 9, 2026, most of them commercial or multifamily. The permit index carries the detail and the permit guide says what we could and could not confirm about the city's rule.

Not sure a company is what it says? How to check an Austin roofer lists the records to open, and roofers near me groups the roster by city.

Checking a badge? The BBB accredited Austin roofers page lists each company whose accreditation we confirmed on a bbb.org page, with its BBB file and the date checked.

Pricing a job? The Austin roof replacement cost page shows what public permit and insurance files hold, and the metal roof cost and tear-off cost pages say what those files cannot answer.

Comparing bids on a commercial or multifamily roof? The Austin commercial roof bids guide sets out what separates one bid from another and which public records back each number.

Work out what your roof should cost

Give it the footprint, the pitch, the material and the number of layers coming off. It shows how each input moves the arithmetic, so the range can be checked line by line. Read the result as a planning range, not a bid: what the crew finds under the old roof and the material chosen for the rebuild decide the final invoice.

Austin roofer BBB records, counted

Every company in the ranking above carries a Better Business Bureau record. The three states are kept apart, because a profile whose accreditation we could not confirm is not a finding either way.

  • 0 of the 30 companies are accredited, 0 are not, and 30 carry a profile whose accreditation we could not confirm. Source: Better Business Bureau business profiles for the companies ranked on this page. Date: checked October 11, 2026 to October 14, 2026. Preliminary: No, published BBB records.
  • Grades across the roster, counted: A+: 25, C: 1. A grade is not an accreditation, and a record with no grade is counted in none of them.

Questions we actually get

What are the best roofers in Austin TX?
The 30 companies ranked in the table above, ordered by BBB band where we could read a grade (26 of 30), then the Google review score smoothed so a small base cannot outrank a large one, then review count and years trading. The roster is the highest-reviewed listings that passed our filter, so it favors large, review-heavy firms and is not a list of every Austin roofer. Every record is marked specimen until the BBB input is confirmed.
Top roofing companies in Austin
The 30 Austin companies we assess are placed in the table above on 5 published inputs, and 26 of them carry a BBB profile we could link, checked between October 11, 2026 and October 14, 2026. Review counts were read October 11, 2026. The Austin roofing directory holds each company's own record, with the source and date behind every figure.
How can I tell if an Austin roofer is legit?
Texas does not license roofers, so check records instead: city permit history, the BBB profile, the Texas business filing and the voluntary RCAT directory. 26 of the 30 companies here have a BBB profile we could link, and 5 matched a City of Austin permit contractor name. Our check-a-roofer guide walks through each.
Does Austin get a lot of hail?
Some years, yes. NOAA logged hail reports somewhere in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties on an average of 7.1 days a year from 2010 to 2025, and 76 of 581 reports since 2010 were 2 inches or larger. The hail history page has the county tables.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Austin?
We could not confirm that from the City of Austin’s own pages, which point to an exempt-work list and a Do I Need a Permit guide. The permit guide says what we read and who to call.
What is the average cost of a roof replacement in Austin?
Local roofing companies publish installed prices for an architectural shingle roof in Austin of $500 to $850 per roofing square, read October 25, 2026. The City of Austin permit file shows a median declared valuation of $23,150 on 32 re-roof permits, which is the value the applicant declared, not a quote. Roof size, pitch, material and layers to tear off move the total, and the Austin roof replacement cost page lists each source.
Who does the best hail damage roof repair in Austin?
23 of the 30 Austin companies we assess list insurance claim work among their services. The 5 counties of the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos area logged 45 days with hail of 1 inch or larger from 2021 to 2025, 21 of them with a stone of 1.75 inches or larger, and a largest stone of 4 inches, per Storm Prediction Center local storm reports through October 17, 2026, which are preliminary. The Austin hail and storm damage roof repair page sets out the rule and each company it matches, with the source behind its record.
