Fix the leak right now
Most leaks start at flashing, a vent or a few lifted shingles. Those are usually a patch, not a new roof. NOAA's latest hail report for the area is May 9, 2026, so a leak after that date may trace back to it.
Call now and say it is leaking, so a roofer can tarp or patch it. While you wait, catch the drip and move what can get wet. Take photos inside and out before anything is fixed, as the Texas Department of Insurance advises. Keep the tarp receipt for any claim.

Where leaks start
Leaks most often start around a pipe boot, a chimney or a skylight, where metal flashing meets shingles. Wind lifts shingle tabs and lets rain under them. Hail bruises shingles and knocks off the grit, which speeds up wear.
NOAA files show 20 hail reports and 17 wind reports for Travis County from January 2025 on. The largest stone was 1.75 inches, so a roof here may carry hits from more than one storm (NOAA Storm Events).
Repair or replace
A repair makes sense when the damage is in one spot and the rest of the roof is sound. Check age next. InterNACHI puts 3-tab shingles at about 20 years and architectural shingles at 30. A roof near that age with leaks in more than one place is usually ready to replace.
Who licenses roofers here
No Texas license exists for roofers, so the insurance certificate and the written quote are your proof. Turn away any roofer who offers to cover your deductible, which Texas law forbids.
Newest change: Texas SB 458 gives you a right to appraisal when you and your insurer disagree on the amount of a loss. It covers home policies issued or renewed after January 1, 2026. (Texas Department of Insurance)

Questions people ask
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on the spot and the roof. Get a written quote that names the part being fixed, then compare it with the full roof cost.
Will insurance pay for a roof repair?
Storm damage is often covered. Wear and old age usually are not. The roof insurance claim steps come first.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?
A roofer can put a tarp on in light rain. Shingles and flashing go on when the roof is dry. The leak page covers tonight.
When is a repair not worth it?
When the roof is near the end of its life or leaks in more than one place. See how long a roof lasts.
