What’s Included in a Roof Replacement by Zilker Roofing

Not Just Shingles — Every Layer Matters

A roof replacement isn’t just about putting on new shingles. It’s about rebuilding the entire roofing system from the deck up — and doing it right.

At Zilker Roofing, we replace every critical component to make sure your home stays dry, efficient, and protected for the long haul.

Here’s What We Replace on Every Job

Roof Decking (as needed)

We inspect the wooden surface beneath your roof for rot, moisture damage, or sagging — and replace any compromised sections.

Underlayment

We install high-performance synthetic underlayment, which acts as a secondary water barrier beneath your shingles.

Ice & Water Shield

This peel-and-stick waterproof barrier is placed in valleys and around all penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights) for extra protection.

Flashing & Pipe Boots

All flashing is replaced with brand new metal — including valley flashing, step flashing, chimney crickets, and vent boots — to ensure long-term waterproofing.

Ventilation System

We install ridge vents or other attic ventilation systems to extend your roof’s life and improve energy efficiency.

Shingles or Roofing Material

You choose your material — we’ll install top-quality shingles, metal panels, or tile with precision.

Soffits and Rodent Protection

We check soffit integrity and repair or reinforce any areas where rodents (like squirrels or possums) may chew through into attic space.

Cleanup & Haul-Off

Every project includes full magnetic nail sweep and proper disposal of all roofing debris.

Why These Materials Matter?

Your roof is only as good as the layers you can’t see. Cheaper roofers might skip vital steps — but we build to last, using materials that meet or exceed Austin code.
We proudly install Owens Corning, GAF, Malarkey, and other premium shingles backed by manufacturer warranties.
