You know that feeling when the weather alert goes off and dark clouds roll in. Instead of worrying about leaks, damage, or whether your roof will hold up, you’ll have complete confidence in what’s protecting your family overhead.
That’s what happens when your roof replacement is done right the first time. No more emergency buckets during storms. No more ceiling stains after every heavy rain. No more wondering if this is the storm that finally does serious damage.
Your new roof becomes your home’s strongest defense against everything Texas weather throws at it – from golf ball-sized hail to scorching summer heat that can crack and warp inferior materials.
We’ve been serving Ames homeowners through every type of storm Texas can dish out. We’ve seen what hail season does to roofs that weren’t built to handle it, and we’ve helped families recover from damage that could have been prevented.
When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who understand exactly what your roof faces in this part of Texas. We know which materials hold up to our climate and which ones fail when you need them most.
Most importantly, we’re still here when the storm passes. You won’t find us chasing storms from town to town – we live and work in this community, and our reputation depends on taking care of our neighbors the right way.
Your roof replacement starts with a thorough inspection where we document every detail – not just for our planning, but for your insurance claim if storm damage is involved. We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain what needs to happen.
Once materials arrive, we protect your property and surrounding areas before any work begins. The old roof comes off systematically, and we inspect the decking underneath for any hidden damage that needs addressing. Then your new roof goes on with careful attention to every detail that makes the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails.
Throughout the process, we handle the cleanup daily and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets our standards and yours. You’ll know exactly what to expect at each step, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.

Your roof replacement includes materials specifically chosen for what they’ll face here in Ames. That means impact-resistant shingles that can handle our hail seasons, proper ventilation to deal with Texas heat, and flashing systems designed for our severe weather patterns.
We work with architectural shingles, metal roofing, and other materials that have proven track records in Central Texas conditions. Every component – from underlayment to ridge caps – is selected because it performs when Texas weather gets serious.
The installation includes proper storm-proofing techniques that many contractors skip but make all the difference when high winds hit. Your roof will be built to current Texas building codes and engineered to handle the specific weather challenges we face in this region year after year.
Roof replacement costs in Ames typically range from $8,000 to $20,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Asphalt shingle roofs generally cost less than metal or tile options, but the exact price depends on your specific situation.
Several factors affect your final cost: the size and pitch of your roof, the materials you choose, whether we need to repair underlying damage, and if your old roof requires complete removal. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
If your roof was damaged by storms, your insurance may cover most or all of the replacement cost. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process to maximize your coverage.
For Texas conditions, impact-resistant architectural shingles and metal roofing perform exceptionally well. Impact-resistant shingles are specifically designed to withstand hail damage, which is crucial during our March through May hail season when storms can produce golf ball-sized or larger hailstones.
Metal roofing offers excellent durability and energy efficiency, reflecting heat to keep your home cooler during scorching Texas summers. While the upfront cost is higher, metal roofs can last 50+ years and often qualify for insurance discounts due to their storm resistance.
We’ll recommend materials based on your budget, your home’s architecture, and the specific weather challenges in our area. Every material we install is chosen because it has a proven track record of performing well in Central Texas conditions.
Most residential roof replacements in Ames take 1-3 days to complete, depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and the complexity of your roof design. Simple ranch-style homes often finish in one day, while larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
Weather can impact our timeline, especially during storm season or extreme heat. We’ll always prioritize quality over speed – it’s better to wait for proper conditions than to rush work that needs to last decades.
We coordinate material deliveries and crew scheduling to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll know our expected timeline upfront, and we’ll keep you informed if anything changes during the project.
Texas homeowner’s insurance typically covers roof replacement when damage is caused by covered events like hail, wind, or storms. However, coverage doesn’t usually apply to roofs that need replacement due to normal wear and aging.
The key to a successful insurance claim is proper documentation of storm damage and working with contractors who understand the claims process. We help document damage, communicate with adjusters, and ensure nothing gets overlooked that could affect your coverage.
Most policies have a deductible you’ll need to pay, but insurance often covers the remaining costs for legitimate storm damage claims. We work with your insurance company throughout the process to make sure you get the coverage you’re entitled to.
If your roof is over 15-20 years old or has sustained significant storm damage, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. Multiple leaks, widespread shingle damage, or structural issues typically indicate that repairs won’t be sufficient.
After major hailstorms, damage isn’t always visible from the ground. Hail can cause bruising and granule loss that weakens shingles even when they look intact. Professional inspection is the only way to accurately assess the extent of damage.
We provide honest assessments of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. Sometimes a few strategic repairs can extend your roof’s life, but we’ll never recommend temporary fixes when you really need a new roof.
Choose contractors who are locally established, properly licensed, and fully insured with both liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Avoid storm chasers who show up after bad weather with high-pressure sales tactics and disappear once they get paid.
Look for contractors with experience handling insurance claims if storm damage is involved. The claims process can be complex, and working with someone who understands how to document damage and communicate with adjusters makes a significant difference in your coverage.
Ask for local references and check their reputation in the community. A contractor who’s been serving Ames for years and plans to stay has a vested interest in doing quality work that stands the test of time.
