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 October 19, 2026 for Round Rock homeowners.

What a real roof inspection covers in Round Rock

Not all "free inspections" are the same thing. Some are a walk-around and a business card. Here's what a genuine inspection on a Round Rock home includes:

  • The attic, from inside. Daylight through the deck, staining on the sheathing, compressed or wet insulation, and whether the intake vents are actually open. Half the story is in the attic and a lot of inspectors never go up.
  • Test squares on the roof surface — a marked-off 10×10 area on each slope, so hail bruising is counted, not estimated.
  • Every penetration and every flashing detail, photographed.
  • Gutters, fascia, soffit, and the drip edge.
  • A written report with photos you keep, whether or not you hire us.

If someone won't leave you photos, they're not inspecting. They're selling.

Solar panels and your roof warranty in Round Rock

Mounting an array means putting dozens of penetrations through a roof you just paid for. In Round Rock that raises two questions worth settling in writing before anything gets drilled.

Who warranties the penetrations? If your roofer did the roof and a different company mounts the panels, you now have two contractors who can each point at the other when a leak appears at a mount. Getting both from one company eliminates that argument entirely — which is a large part of why we do both trades.

What happens when the roof needs work later? Panels have to come off and go back on. Know the cost of removal and reinstall now, before you sign, and get it in the contract.

Also: flashed mounts, not sealant-dependent mounts. A mount that relies on a bead of sealant to stay watertight is relying on something with a shorter life than your roof.

What that warranty on your Round Rock roof actually covers

"Lifetime warranty" is on almost every Round Rock roofing flyer, and it almost never means what people think.

There are two separate warranties on your roof:

1. The manufacturer's material warranty. Covers defects in the shingle itself. Real, but manufacturing defects are rare — most roof failures are installation or ventilation problems, which this does not cover. "Lifetime" typically means a full-value period of ten years or so, then prorated coverage declining to very little. And it's usually conditional on the ventilation spec being met and on the roof being installed by an approved contractor.

2. The contractor's workmanship warranty. Covers the installation. This is the one that matters, and it's worth exactly as much as the company standing behind it. A five-year workmanship warranty from a company that's been here for years beats a lifetime warranty from a phone number that stops working.

Ask for both in writing. Ask what voids each one.

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.
