A new shingle roof on a 2,000 sq ft home typically runs between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on the pitch, material choice, existing deck condition, and the number of layers being removed. That's a wide range, and contractors who quote you a tight number over the phone without seeing the roof aren't doing you any favors. What you need is a contractor who'll get on the roof, give you a straight answer, and stand behind the work. Over and Above Contracting offers free estimates on all residential roofing jobs. Call Mike directly at (737) 230-7099 to schedule yours.
Residential roofing covers the full range of services a home's roof requires over its life: inspection, repair, full replacement, and new installation. The right solution depends on the roof's age, the extent of damage, and the materials already in place. Asphalt shingles remain the most common choice, lasting 20 to 30 years with proper installation. Metal roofing extends that to 40 to 70 years. Tile clears 50 years, wood shingles run 25 to 30, and slate can outlast the house itself at over 100 years. What drives cost up most is not material price alone but scope: steep pitches, multi-layer tear-offs, damaged decking, and complex flashing around chimneys or skylights all add labor time. Every job is different. Contact Over and Above Contracting for an accurate estimate.

Residential roofing isn't one service. It's a category that includes repairs on a single damaged section, full tear-offs and replacements on aging systems, and new roofing installation on additions or new construction. Each job starts the same way: a thorough inspection of the deck, flashing, underlayment, ventilation, and the roofing material itself. Contractors who skip the inspection and quote on square footage alone are the ones who find expensive surprises mid-job and pass that cost to the homeowner. Mike Ennis at Over and Above Contracting inspects before quoting, every time. The inspection isn't a sales pitch. It's how you get a number you can actually trust.

Professional roof installation follows a defined sequence, and skipping any step creates problems that show up later, usually as leaks. The process starts with a full structural assessment: checking rafters and decking for rot, soft spots, or inadequate fastening before a single shingle goes down. Underlayment is installed first, creating a secondary moisture barrier across the entire deck. Drip edge goes along the eaves and rakes before and after the underlayment respectively. Flashing is fabricated and set around every penetration: chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys. Shingles are laid in staggered courses from the eave up, nailed at the correct fastening zone specified by the manufacturer. Ridge cap and ventilation components go on last. Ventilation is not optional. Insufficient attic airflow shortens shingle life by years and voids most manufacturer warranties. Over and Above Contracting doesn't cut steps to move faster.

Not every roofing problem calls for a full replacement. Isolated damage from a branch strike, a few missing shingles after a wind event, or a flashing failure at a chimney are all situations where a targeted repair makes more sense than tearing off the whole roof. The honest answer depends on the age of the system and how much of the surface is affected. The 25% rule is a real guideline: when damage or deterioration covers more than a quarter of the roof, full replacement typically costs less over time than repeated repairs on an aging system. Below that threshold, a repair is usually the right call. Over and Above Contracting won't sell you a replacement when a repair is what the roof actually needs. If you're not sure which situation you're in, read our roof repair guide before calling.

Central Texas gets hit hard during spring storm season, and hail damage is the most common roofing issue Over and Above Contracting handles. Hail bruises shingle granules, cracks tile, and dents metal in ways that aren't always visible from the ground. What looks like a cosmetic issue often compromises the waterproofing layer underneath, leading to leaks weeks or months later. If your area took a storm, get the roof inspected before you call your insurance company. An independent inspection from a contractor gives you documentation of the actual damage, which matters when the adjuster shows up. Mike Ennis has handled insurance claim work throughout the Greater Austin area and knows what adjusters look for. See the roof hail damage guide to understand what you're looking at after a storm.

Most roofing failures are preventable. The problems that turn into full replacements usually start as small issues that go uninspected for too long: a cracked piece of flashing, a section of lifted shingles, granule loss that's accelerated by poor attic ventilation. Annual or semi-annual inspections catch these before they become structural. Maintenance visits from Over and Above Contracting include debris removal, gutter checks, flashing inspection, ventilation assessment, and a written summary of anything that needs attention. Central Texas summers are hard on roofs. UV exposure and heat cycling age shingles faster here than in cooler climates. Read more about how summer heat affects your roof and what you can do about it.

The roof is not the place to find out a contractor cuts corners. Licensed and insured roofing contractors carry liability coverage that protects the homeowner if something goes wrong during the job. They pull permits when required, meet building code requirements for wind uplift and ventilation, and install materials according to manufacturer specifications so warranties remain valid. Over and Above Contracting is owner-operated by Mike Ennis. There's no subcontracting chain, no crew you've never met showing up at your home. Mike manages the work directly. If you have a question, you reach the person responsible for the job. That's not standard in this industry. The siding and exterior work Over and Above handles follows the same standard: materials, installation, and accountability that holds up long after the job is done.
Whether your roof is showing its age, took damage in a recent storm, or you're planning ahead for a replacement, Over and Above Contracting gives you a straight answer and a free estimate. Call Mike at (737) 230-7099 or visit the contact page to request an inspection.
