Architectural shingles generally have a lower initial cost than standing seam metal or tile systems. Austin Roofing Company provides a project-specific written estimate after inspecting the existing roof and confirming the installation scope.

A standard residential roof installation commonly takes 1 to 3 days. Roof size, slope, tear-off layers, structural repairs, material type, access, and weather can extend the schedule.

The installation process can include tear-off, decking inspection, damaged wood replacement, underlayment, flashing, ventilation components, roofing material installation, cleanup, and final inspection.
