Just got my Austin roof replaced—here’s what it actually cost.

Hey everyone. I just finished a full roof replacement on my house here in Austin and wanted to share my experience since I spent weeks searching for real numbers online. It felt impossible to find straight answers on cost without getting a bunch of sales calls.

My house is a 2,100 sqft single-story, and I went with architectural shingles. The final project included new synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and removal of the old roof. No major structural repairs were needed.

After getting multiple quotes, the total came in right around $18,500. This seems to be the going rate for a quality job in the current market. I found a detailed Austin roof cost guide that finally explained the line items and regional factors. I’ll leave the link in a comment if you want to see the breakdown I used to compare my quotes.

Biggest takeaway: get at least three detailed quotes, and don’t just go with the cheapest. The low bids often missed critical things. Hope this helps anyone else in the same spot. Happy to answer questions.
