Sutton Roofing

Metal or shingles? For most Austin homes, the honest answer is "it depends how long you're staying."

Tap through for why one metal roof can outlast three shingle roofs, and why the cheapest roof up front ends up the most expensive one over the life of a house.

Cost, lifespan, heat, hail and the HOA fine print are all in our full guide: https://www.suttonroofinginc.com/blog/metal-roof-vs-shingles-austin?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=metal-vs-shingles

We install shingles, standing seam and stone-coated steel, so we'll price both side by side and tell you straight. Free inspection: (512) 394-9801.

The roof everyone on East 6th walks under.

The canopy roof at Inn Cahoots runs the full length of the building, right over the sidewalk — the most visible roof on the property, and the one guests walk under every day.

Tap through for what's under the white membrane, why a flat roof shouldn't be flat, and the Essex Green finish.

New framing and fascia, 3.5" insulation board, white tapered TPO and paint-grip drip edge. Full project photos and the write-up: https://www.suttonroofinginc.com/projects/east-austin-tpo-canopy-roof-inn-cahoots?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=inn-cahoots-project

Flat or low-slope roof over your business? We'll come look at what you've got and tell you straight, no charge: (512) 394-9801.

Six roof planes, and not one of them forgiving.

Custom homes rarely get a simple roof. This one folds hips into valleys, cuts dormers into the main field, and steps a porch roof down at the back — and every place two planes meet is a place water can get in.

Tap through for the three junctions that decide whether a roof like this holds up: the valleys, the hips, and the dormer flashing. Plus the ventilation detail that disappears into the ridge.

Your roof just came through a Central Texas summer — months of triple-digit heat, and a hail season that ran March through August. Everything that was going to happen to it has already happened. The rain and freezes haven't arrived yet. That gap is the whole point of a fall check.

Tap through for the checklist 👉 what 150°F surface temperatures actually do to shingles, and the one item people skip that quietly rots decking and fascia.

The full checklist — ground level, attic, inside the house, and freeze prep — is on the blog: https://www.suttonroofinginc.com/blog/fall-roof-maintenance-checklist-austin?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fall-checklist

One thing worth repeating: don't get on the roof. Heat-brittle shingles break under foot traffic. Free inspections: (512) 394-9801.

Most advice about hiring a contractor starts with "check their license." In Texas, for roofing, there isn't one to check - no state license, no exam, no board. Anyone can legally call themselves a roofer here.

Tap through for how to vet one properly, including the one insurance "deal" that's actually illegal in Texas, and the verification step almost nobody does.

Getting a second opinion on a bid? We're glad to be one of the estimates you weigh. Free inspections: (512) 394-9801.

Golf-ball hail last night, but the roof looks fine from the driveway? That's exactly how hail damage works — it hides. The granule layer that protects your shingles gets stripped, the roof starts aging fast, and the leak doesn't show up until months later.
Sometimes after your insurance claim window has closed.

Swipe 👉 for the signs hail leaves behind (some of them are on your mailbox, not your roof), the delayed-leak trap, and the door-knock line that should make you cautious.
The full guide — every sign, what to do first, and how insurance fits in — is on the blog.

What does a new roof actually cost in Austin? Most homeowners land between $12,000 and $18,000 — but that range means nothing until you know what moves the number for YOUR house.

Tap through the slides for the five factors (starting with the one everyone misses: your roof is bigger than your house), the material ladder, why the cheapest bid is rarely the cheapest roof — and when insurance shrinks the whole thing to just your deductible.

ranges, no games: https://www.suttonroofinginc.com/blog/residential-roof-replacement-cost-austin?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=roof-replacement-cost

A failing roof is rarely just a roof. By the time the shingles give out, the trouble has usually spread — and on this Manchaca two-story, it had reached the siding, a patio post, and the drywall inside.

Swipe 👉 to see the job: new architectural shingles on every plane, the ridge-vent and flashing details most crews skip, and the checklist of everything one crew handled so the homeowner never had to hunt down a second contractor.

Full project photos + write-up are on the site.

Will insurance pay for your new roof? In Texas, the honest answer is “it depends” — on what caused the damage, how old your roof is, and two letters buried in your policy that most homeowners have never read: RCV or ACV.

The full breakdown — recoverable depreciation, filing deadlines, and how to keep more of your claim in your pocket — is on the blog. Link in bio.
