Lakeway grew up around the resort and the golf courses from the 1960s on, so its oldest streets off Lakeway Boulevard and Lohmans Crossing carry roofs that have been replaced more than once, while Rough Hollow, Flintrock Falls, Serene Hills and The Hills of Lakeway are 2000s and 2010s custom and semi-custom homes with tile and metal as often as shingles. Bee Cave, around the Hill Country Galleria and along Hamilton Pool Road, has Falconhead, Spanish Oaks, Lake Pointe and The Homestead in the same vein. Both cities permit their own construction and neither falls under Austin's Wildland-Urban Interface code, though the fire exposure on lots backing onto juniper canyons is the same as in Austin's zones, and Class A roof assemblies are the sensible choice for that reason alone.
The roofs here fail in their details rather than their fields. Tile cracks underfoot and at the hips; its underlayment, which is the actual waterproofing, ages out at twenty to thirty years while the tile above looks new. Standing seam leaks at poorly flashed chimneys, skylights and the many wall transitions on these cut-up houses. Thick shingles on steep pitches lose ridge caps to the wind that comes up the lake. And the whole region took heavy hail in September 2023 and April 2024 that dented metal, cracked tile and bruised shingles across the Westlake and Lake Travis hills.
Access is a real cost. Steep lots, tall two- and three-story elevations over the lake side, and tile that cannot be walked mean drones for inspection, staging for the work, and a crew that has done it before. The free inspection covers all of it, with photographs, and the sheet prices the material you have and the one you might prefer.
What the roofs in Lakeway and Bee Cave usually need
Tile roofs: underlayment, not tile
Tile inspected from the edges and by drone, cracked tiles replaced, and the underlayment beneath relaid where it has aged out while the tile is salvaged and reset.
Standing-seam details
Chimney, skylight and wall flashings on metal roofs rebuilt with manufacturer trim; panels replaced after hail where seams or caps were crushed.
Class A assemblies on canyon lots
Metal or shingles over the correct underlayment for homes backing onto juniper, the same fire-wise standard Austin requires in its zones, chosen here by sense rather than rule.
Hail from the 2023 and 2024 storms
Metal dents, tile cracks and shingle bruises documented to the adjuster's standard, with an honest word about cosmetic-damage exclusions on metal.
Steep and tall access
Drone inspection, staging and tie-offs for lake-side elevations priced on the sheet rather than discovered on the day.

Asked in Lakeway and Bee Cave
My tile roof looks perfect but leaks. Why?
Tile is the armor, not the waterproofing. The underlayment beneath it does the work and wears out after twenty to thirty years while the tile above looks new. The fix is lifting the tile, relaying the underlayment and resetting the tile, slope by slope.
Is the Austin wildfire roof code in force in Lakeway or Bee Cave?
No; it applies only inside Austin's limits. Both cities have their own permit rules. The fire exposure on a canyon lot is real regardless, which is why Class A roof assemblies are recommended here as a matter of sense.
Will insurance pay for hail dents on my metal roof?
Often not. Most Texas carriers exclude cosmetic damage on metal, so a dented panel that still sheds water may not be covered, while a crushed seam or ridge cap is functional damage and usually is. The inspection photographs show which you have.
Can you inspect a three-story lake-side elevation?
Yes, by drone and from the accessible slopes, with the attic checked from inside. Work on those elevations is staged and tied off, and that cost is on the sheet before you agree to anything.
