Hill Country hail, neighborhood by neighborhood
West Austin's ridges catch the hail that rolls off the Hill Country — the storms that hammered Lakeway and Bee Cave in recent years crossed half the neighborhoods below. But a Tarrytown cottage, a Barton Creek estate, and a Steiner Ranch two-story each call for a different roofing conversation. Here's the west side, with a dedicated guide for each area.
The Eanes ridge: West Lake Hills and Rollingwood
West Lake Hills' canyon-edge customs and Rollingwood's close-in ranch remodels share the Eanes school draw and the ridge exposure — wind, hail, and wildfire-aware roofing all apply. The guides cover Class A assemblies, metal's rise here, and city-of-Westlake review quirks.
Old Austin elegance: Tarrytown and Barton Creek
Tarrytown's 1930s-50s streets mix original tile and slate with new custom builds, while Barton Creek's gated estates carry some of the city's largest and most complex rooflines. Craft, materials, and review expectations — each guide goes deep.
The lake corridor: Bee Cave, Lakeway, and Steiner Ranch
Out 71 and 620, Bee Cave and Lakeway have taken the region's most publicized hail hits, and Steiner Ranch's ridge between the lakes adds canyon wind and wildland edge. Class 4 shingles are the floor out here; the guides make the full case.
Southwest family country: Circle C Ranch
Down MoPac, Circle C Ranch's 90s-2000s oak-shaded stock is deep into replacement season. The guide covers timing, algae and shade management, and HOA review. For all of it, start at our Austin / Bee Cave page — inspections are free.

Which Austin neighborhoods does Trophy Exteriors serve?
West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Tarrytown, Barton Creek, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, Circle C Ranch, and the wider west and southwest sides.
Why is hail such a big deal in West Austin?
The Hill Country corridor generates repeated large-hail events — the Lakeway/Bee Cave storms are the famous examples. Class 4 impact-rated shingles or metal are the rational response.
Do Austin's west-side cities have their own roofing rules?
West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Bee Cave, and Lakeway each permit and review differently, and HOAs layer on top. We handle jurisdiction-specific requirements with every project.
Is wildfire a roofing consideration in Austin?
On the wildland edges — Steiner Ranch, Barton Creek, West Lake Hills canyons — yes. Class A rated assemblies and ember-resistant venting are the roofing half of hardening a home.
