Roofing & Solar in Round Rock, Texas

Licensed, certified, and actually local. Free inspections across Round Rock and Williamson County — available 24/7.

NTX Solar & Construction has been putting roofs on North Texas homes for over twenty years. In Round Rock, that means knowing Williamson County's permit desk, knowing which storms actually hit which neighborhoods, and knowing the difference between a roof that needs replacing and one that needs a $300 repair.

The Sports Capital of Texas — and, for our purposes, a city where the median home was built in 2002 and the original builder shingles are hitting end of life all at once.

Hail and storm history in Round Rock

Central Texas pattern — Round Rock genuinely gets hit less often than the DFW suburbs. But Williamson County took the single costliest hail event in Austin-area history, and “less often” does not mean “smaller.”

  • On record 25 ground-spotter reports and 64 radar detections in the past 12 months
  • Largest stone baseball and softball size
  • Peak season May

Storms Round Rock homeowners remember

  • September 24, 2023 — baseball and softball hail reported in Williamson County before the storm pushed into Travis — part of the $600 million event that remains the area’s costliest
  • May 28, 2025 — three-inch hail with 60 mph gusts
  • May 16, 2025 — golf-ball and two-inch hail with significant wind damage
  • May 19, 2026 — quarter and ping-pong-ball hail with 60–70 mph gusts

The Round Rock housing stock — and what it means for your roof

  • Population 141,282
  • Median year built 2002
  • Median home value $418,600
  • Owner-occupied 55.5%
  • Single-family homes 32,923

Round Rock has grown 18.2% since 2020 and the median home dates to 2002. With 27% of the housing stock built between 2000 and 2009, this is a market where whole streets come due for their first replacement in the same two-year window.

Neighborhoods we work in around Round Rock

  • Forest Creek — 1990s, around the golf course
  • Behrens Ranch — 2001 onward
  • Teravista — early 2000s, with its own golf club
  • Sonoma and Hidden Glen — early 2000s
  • Mayfield Ranch — 2008 onward
  • Vizcaya, Traditions at Vizcaya and Heritage at Vizcaya — 2010s
  • University Heights — 2022 and newer
  • Paloma Lake, Cat Hollow, Stone Canyon, Sendero Springs, Chandler Creek and Round Rock West

Round Rock is the cleanest roof-age story of any city we serve. The median home here was built in 2002. A 20-to-25-year architectural shingle installed at build-out is at the end of its rated life right now — no hailstorm required. If you're in Forest Creek, Teravista, Sonoma or Hidden Glen, your roof is almost certainly original and almost certainly due.

Round Rock roofing permits — what's actually required

Straight from the City's Building Inspection department: Round Rock does not require a permit for a residential re-roof. Alter the roof structure and you're into a residential remodel permit instead. Homeowners or contractors may do the work.

One local code detail worth knowing, because it's the sort of thing a cut-rate crew skips: Round Rock requires drip edge under 2015 IBC Section R905.2.8.5. If a bid you're holding doesn't line-item drip edge, ask why.

City of Round Rock permit information →  ·  Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. Requirements are set city by city, which is exactly why the permit rules below differ so much from one suburb to the next.

We pull the permit. You should never be asked to pull your own permit so the contractor doesn't have to register. That shifts the liability to you.

Solar in Round Rock: the local facts

Round Rock is served by Oncor, and sits in the deregulated Texas retail market — Oncor delivers the power, and you choose your retail provider. That matters for solar because Texas has no statewide net metering mandate. What you're paid for exported power is a feature of the plan you pick, not a guarantee. We'll show you which providers currently offer a real buyback before you commit to a system size.

Oncor does run incentive programs for solar paired with battery storage through approved participating providers. Oncor publishes eligibility rules but does not publish dollar amounts publicly — so we won't quote you a number we can't stand behind. We'll confirm what's actually available for your address and system before it goes in your proposal.

A common and expensive misconception: Round Rock is not Austin Energy. About 95.8% of the city is Oncor territory, with small slivers on City of Georgetown Utilities and Pedernales Electric Cooperative. That means the Austin Energy $4,000 solar rebate is not available to Round Rock homeowners, no matter what a door-knocker tells you.

Before you sign anything solar in 2026

Important 2026 update: the 30% federal residential clean energy credit (Section 25D) expired for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Any contractor still advertising “30% off from the federal government” on a cash or financed home solar purchase in 2026 is quoting a credit that no longer exists. Third-party owned structures (lease/PPA) are treated differently under Section 48E. We'll walk you through what actually applies to your situation — and we'll tell you to talk to your tax advisor before you sign anything.

Round Rock roofing & solar updates

Updated August 31, 2026 for Round Rock homeowners.

Why Round Rock attics run hot — and what it's costing you

A poorly ventilated attic in a Round Rock summer can reach 150°F. That heat does three things, all of them expensive:

  • It cooks your shingles from underneath. Asphalt shingles are rated on the assumption that the deck can breathe. Trapped heat ages them from the back side, and it is the single most common reason a 30-year shingle fails at eighteen.
  • It voids warranties. Most manufacturers require a specific intake-to-exhaust ventilation ratio. If yours isn't met, the warranty language usually gives them an out.
  • It drives your electric bill. Your A/C is fighting a 150-degree heat source sitting directly above your ceiling.

The fix is usually cheaper than people expect and it is almost always about intake, not exhaust. Homes get more roof vents added over the years while the soffit intake stays blocked with insulation or paint — which means the new vents just pull conditioned air out of the house. We check the balance, not just the vent count.

Skylights, chimneys, and other things that leak in Round Rock

When a Round Rock homeowner calls about a leak, the shingle field is rarely the culprit. It's almost always a penetration:

  • Plumbing vent boots. The rubber collar cracks from UV and heat, typically well before the shingles wear out. The most common leak we find, and one of the cheapest to fix — if you catch it.
  • Chimney flashing. Needs step flashing and counter flashing let into the mortar joint. Caulk over the top of the old flashing is a repair with an expiration date.
  • Skylights. The unit itself has a service life; so does its flashing kit. If a skylight is older than about twenty years and you're replacing the roof anyway, replacing the unit at the same time is far cheaper than doing it separately.
  • Wall-to-roof transitions on two-story Round Rock homes, especially where siding meets a lower roof.
  • Satellite dish mounts drilled straight through the deck and forgotten.

Ventilation, insulation, and the Round Rock energy bill

A roof replacement is the one moment when the entire top of your Round Rock house is open and accessible. It's the cheapest opportunity you'll ever have to fix what's underneath it — and most people don't get offered the chance.

Worth doing while we're up there:

  • Correct the intake/exhaust balance. Most homes are exhaust-heavy and intake-starved, which is worse than no ventilation at all.
  • Add a radiant barrier to the underside of the decking on a re-deck.
  • Seal attic bypasses — the gaps around can lights, top plates and chases where conditioned air escapes into the attic.
  • Bring insulation up to depth in a house that's settled to half its original R-value.

None of it is expensive relative to the roof itself. All of it is expensive to do later.

We actually work here

We're not a call center routing your job to whoever answers. Here's the Round Rock our crews drive past every week:

  • The actual round rock — the anvil-shaped stone in Brushy Creek that marked the 1850s wagon crossing and gave the town its name in 1854
  • Round Rock Donuts and the two-pound Texas-Sized Donut
  • Dell Diamond and the Round Rock Express
  • Kalahari Resorts — 1.5 million square feet and America's largest indoor waterpark
  • Old Settlers Park — 20 baseball fields, seven soccer facilities, disc golf and Rock'N River
  • Sam Bass in the Round Rock Cemetery, and the July 4 Frontier Days shootout reenactment
  • Dell — about 11,500 people work at the headquarters here

We also serve Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Hutto, Leander and Austin.
