Residential and Commercial Roofing for your Johnson City property
Every Johnson City job is backed by our Texas Hill Country roofing contractor team. Johnson City sits where US 281 meets US 290 in the heart of the Texas Hill Country — the seat of Blanco County, home to the LBJ National Historical Park, and, in May 2024, the site of some of the largest hail ever reported in Texas. It is a small county seat with a historic downtown, ranching roots, and a booming wine-and-tourism economy, and the roofs range from century-old homes near the courthouse to newer metal-roofed builds out on the ranches. Yours fails differently than your neighbor's, so your roof gets scoped for what it actually is before anyone quotes you a number.
You are looking at a company that has completed 5,000-plus roofing projects across Texas and holds 300-plus five-star reviews, and a Johnson City roof gets the same discipline behind every one of them: a photo-documented inspection, a written scope, and one project manager who runs your job from the first walkthrough to warranty registration. Randal and Preston Williams own the company, and the name on your paperwork belongs to someone you can still reach a decade after the install.

Johnson City Residential Roofing for Homeowners
If the melon-size hail of May 9, 2024 made one case, it is for Class 4 impact-rated shingle. Class 4 is the top impact grade under the UL 2218 steel-ball test, and while nothing shrugs off a 6-inch stone, it is the difference between cosmetic bruising and another full claim on the ordinary hail that hits the Texas Hill Country most years. Many Texas carriers give a premium credit for a verified Class 4 roof on the wind-and-hail portion — confirm your own carrier's exact credit. See how it works on our Class 4 insurance discount page. On shingle you are an Atlas PRO+ Platinum Select and GAF Certified Plus customer.
Metal is a natural fit for Texas Hill Country ranch and rural properties, and many Johnson City homes already wear it — but May 2024 taught this town that metal is not hail-proof. When six-inch stones came down, they punctured metal roofs into the drywall. So the question is not metal versus shingle; it is whether your metal roof is the right gauge and profile, fastened and sealed to survive Texas Hill Country hail. On metal roofing the credential is ours: standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels roll-formed on our own equipment and supervised by a metal foreman, and we tell you honestly when a heavier gauge or an impact-rated system is worth the upcharge on your roof.

Commercial roofing
Johnson City Commercial Roofing for Property Managers and Owners
Johnson City's economy runs on tourism — the wineries and tasting rooms of Wine Road 290, the LBJ National Historical Park, the "Lights Spectacular" season downtown, the biergartens and shops — and if you own one of those buildings, your roof needs a specialist, not a residential crew. As a GAF GoldElite Commercial contractor, ARP handles TPO and single-ply, commercial metal, coatings and restoration, and flat-roof repair, each with a documented condition report and a written scope your ownership or board can actually read.
Each roof is scoped for what it is, not run through a residential playbook, and the paperwork is the differentiator: before-and-after photos, a line-item scope, and a condition report you can hold us to. If you are weighing a contractor for a Johnson City property, ask for that documentation up front — it is what tells you who actually does commercial work. See the full menu on our commercial roofing contractor guide.

No cost, no obligation
Your free Johnson City roof inspection
A free Johnson City roof inspection from ARP costs nothing whether or not you hire us. A project manager walks the roof, photographs what they find, and leaves you a written condition report — including the honest verdict when the answer is that your roof has years left and needs nothing.
Around Johnson City the first thing we look for is hail, and after May 2024 the reason is obvious — but even ordinary Texas Hill Country hail bruises a shingle mat and dents a metal panel in ways that hide until they leak. The damage that decides your claim is often invisible from the driveway and still invisible from a ladder at the eave.
We photograph, measure, and write your scope in Xactimate — the same estimating platform your insurance company's adjuster uses — then meet the adjuster on your roof. Your policy limits how long you have to file, so document early even if the ground view looks fine. Whether your damage is a repair or a full replacement is one of the things we settle at the inspection, in writing.
From assessment to warranty
- 01Free Photo-Documented Inspection — We measure your roof, photograph it, and document what's actually there — not a curbside guess. You get the photo set whether you hire us or not.
- 02Written Scope Before Any Work — You'll see line-item scope, materials, warranty options, and a real number in writing. On commercial projects that document is COO-reviewed. Nothing starts until you've read it.
- 03Install and Warranty Registration — A crew led by an ARP project manager does the work, pulls the Johnson City permit, and inspects at the key stages — then your manufacturer warranty registers in your name within 30 days.
No fee, no deposit, no pressure. We confirm your address is covered before we schedule — then a project manager walks the roof.

Hail, wind and storm damage documented the way your carrier needs to see it — photographed in carrier format and filed the way an adjuster expects to receive it, before you decide on repair or replacement. Randal Williams is an Xactimate expert; we meet the adjuster on the roof rather than sending you to argue alone.
Timing: most Texas homeowner policies set a one-year deadline from the date of loss, per the Texas Department of Insurance — check yours. Nobody at ARP will waive or absorb your deductible — that's a criminal offense in Texas.
Roof Storm Damage in Texas →Damage severity, verbalized
- Cosmetic — granule scatter, no mat fracture: monitor
- Functional — bruised mats, exposed fiberglass: claim
- Acute — punctures, lifted ridge, active leak: tarp now
- Hidden — brittle pipe boots, flashing splits: attic check
S-07 Residential & commercialGutter installation — seamless aluminum
+
Seamless aluminum gutters formed on site to your rooflines, with oversized downspouts sized for Johnson City's flash-flood rainfall rather than a national default. Installed with the roof or on their own — and if a fascia board is rotten behind the old gutter, you see the photo before we price the repair.
Why it matters here: a single thunderstorm can dump inches in an hour. Undersized gutters overshoot, saturate the foundation, and push water back under the drip edge.

Johnson City market
What roofing in Johnson City actually demands
You do not need to be told Johnson City is in a hail belt — you saw it. On May 9, 2024, a hailstone measured 6.25 inches here, the largest reported in that multi-day Texas outbreak, and it punctured metal roofs straight through into the drywall. That is an extreme, but ordinary Texas Hill Country supercells drop baseball-size hail across this region most spring seasons. A roof here is judged on what it is built to take, which is why the honest question is never metal versus shingle but whether either one is built and fastened correctly for this exposure.
The paperwork matters too. Inside the city limits, building work must comply with the city's adopted 2015 International codes, and the City of Johnson City's Development Services processes your permit from City Hall at 303 E. Pecan Dr, with Bureau Veritas serving as the city's third-party Building Official for plan review and inspections. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections as part of your job. Properties outside the city limits fall under Blanco County, and we confirm which applies to your address before work starts.

Your Johnson City team
Who you get, and who to ask for
Each card names the person who leads your kind of project, so you know who to ask for when you call.
Randal Williams
COO · commercial & claims
Best first call for: commercial scope, insurance claims, Xactimate disputes.
Why Randal
A former commercial high-rise field engineer and Xactimate expert. He reviews every commercial scope before it leaves the office, which is why a board can read it without a translator.
"With the hail history here, that impact rating is the smartest dollar you can spend on a roof."
Ask for Randal →
Preston Williams
President · residential
Best first call for: home replacement, material choice, warranty questions.
Why Preston
Runs the residential side and sets the standard the crews are held to. If a homeowner's job needs to be made right, this is the name on it.
"Cheap and good rarely show up to the same job site. We're trying to be the last roofer you ever have to call."
Ask for Preston →
Your project manager & crew
One contact, start to warranty
Best first call for: scheduling, daily site questions, closeout photos.
Why the crew matters
The same faces and branded trucks your neighbors see on the job — not a pop-up outfit that appears after a hailstorm and is gone by year seven. One project manager stays on your job from the first walkthrough through warranty registration.
Book the walkthrough →"They come out when your insurance company does and make sure everything is annotated and documented — nothing gets missed."

Honest fit check
Is ARP the right fit for your Johnson City project?
The best way to judge any Johnson City contractor — us or anyone else — is to ask for a written scope, ask who your single point of contact is, and ask when the manufacturer warranty gets registered in your name. If a roofer can't answer those three plainly, that's your answer.
Yes — we're a match
A good fit if you
- Want a roofer your neighbors have actually used — not a pop-up tent after the last hailstorm.
- Want everything documented and in writing, with photos, before any crew gets on the roof.
- Plan to stay in your Johnson City home or hold the property long term.
- Manage commercial property and need line-item scope, condition photos and warranty tiers before you sign.
- Had recent hail or wind damage and want it documented correctly for your carrier.
No — we'll say so up front
Not the right fit if you
- Need a commercial job totaling under $1,295, or a firm residential repair price over the phone — we quote repairs after an on-roof inspection.
- Need someone to start tomorrow with no inspection.
- Are choosing purely on the lowest bid, without reading the scope underneath it.
- Want a contractor to pay, waive or "take care of" your deductible — a criminal offense in Texas under Business & Commerce Code § 27.02.
We'd rather tell you that on the phone than waste a walkthrough.
Questions that decide the job
Johnson City roofing — frequently asked questions
Did Johnson City really get 6-inch hail in 2024?
+
Yes — on May 9, 2024, a hailstone measuring 6.25 inches fell in Johnson City, the largest reported in that multi-day Texas outbreak. The hail punctured metal roofs straight into the drywall. If your roof went through that storm without a documented inspection, it is overdue for one.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Johnson City?
+
Inside the city limits, yes — the City of Johnson City's Development Services processes the permit from City Hall at 303 E. Pecan Dr, with Bureau Veritas serving as the third-party Building Official for plan review and inspections, under the city's adopted 2015 International codes. We handle it as part of your job. Outside the city limits, Blanco County applies; we confirm which covers your address first.
Are Class 4 shingles worth it after the 2024 Johnson City hail?
+
For most Johnson City homes, yes. Class 4 is the top grade under the UL 2218 impact test. Nothing shrugs off a 6.25-inch stone like May 2024's, but Class 4 is the difference between cosmetic bruising and another full claim on the ordinary Texas Hill Country hail that hits most years — and many Texas carriers discount premiums for a Class 4 roof. Ask your carrier before you buy.
Is metal or Class 4 shingle better for Texas Hill Country hail?
+
Both are strong choices, and both have limits — May 2024's 6-inch hail punctured metal roofs here in Johnson City. What matters is building either one correctly: the right metal gauge and fastening, or a UL 2218 Class 4 shingle for the ordinary hail that hits most years. We walk your roof and tell you honestly which fits your home and your budget, and which earns a carrier discount.
Does ARP handle storm and hail insurance claims in Johnson City?
+
Yes. We photograph and document the damage the way your carrier needs to see it, write your scope in Xactimate, and meet the adjuster on your roof. One honest note that protects you: no legitimate roofer can pay or waive your deductible — under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02 that is a crime, and under Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 you are required to pay it. We document the damage; we do not act as your adjuster or negotiate the claim — you and your carrier settle it.
