Know your roof before the next storm does.

Published industry cost data for the Georgetown area puts asphalt shingle replacement at $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot of roof footprint, roughly $9,000 to $18,000 for a typical 2,000 square foot home. Pitch, layers, decking condition, and access move the number. Standing seam metal runs about 2 to 2.5 times shingle. Every figure is an estimate until a roofer measures your actual roof.

Most Georgetown repair invoices land between $400 and $2,500, per published industry cost data. A few wind lifted shingles or a cracked pipe boot sits at the low end; flashing rework, valley repairs, and small decking fixes climb from there. Expect a minimum trip charge even on tiny jobs, since every repair carries the same setup, safety, and warranty overhead.

Usually because they are not quoting the same roof. One includes a decking allowance, upgraded underlayment, new flashing, and ridge ventilation; another assumes the cheapest version of everything and handles surprises through change orders. Line quotes up item by item before comparing totals. A low number that skips tear off detail or disposal is not a better price, just a vaguer one.

No. Texas has no state license for roofing contractors, so anyone with a ladder and a truck sign can take the title. That moves the vetting job to you: verify general liability insurance directly with the carrier, confirm a physical local presence, get a written scope, and ask about manufacturer installer credentials. Our vetting guide and printable checklist walk through every step.

Ask for a certificate of insurance sent to you by the roofer's insurance agent, not a PDF from the roofer. Confirm a real local address and how long the company has worked in Williamson County. Call references from jobs at least two years old, require a written scope with materials named, and expect lien waivers at payment. Hesitation on any of those is your answer.
