Why the "Cheapest" Roofing Bid Often Costs the Most in the Texas Hill Country

When you’re looking at two or three roofing estimates, it’s tempting to head straight for the bottom line. In the Texas Hill Country, we see a wide range of pricing, and it’s natural to wonder: "Why is one contractor $1,100 higher than the other?"

We recently worked with a neighbor in New Braunfels who faced this exact choice. After interviewing three companies, he chose us—even though we weren't the lowest bid. When we asked why, he said simply: “I just trust you more.”

At Klaus Roofing Systems of Texas Hill Country, we know that trust isn't just about a handshake; it’s built into how we protect your home. Here is what that "price difference" actually buys you:
1. A Full System, Not Just Shingles

Many "budget" bids save money by using cheap underlayment or skipping critical components like starter strips and proper ventilation. We install a high-performance roofing system designed to withstand the heat and wind of Central Texas.
2. Owner-Led Quality Control

We aren't a high-volume "replacement mill." Every project is owner-led with a dedicated project manager on-site. This ensures that the "no-nail" cleanup and the small technical details (like flashing around your chimney) are done right the first time.
3. Clear Options and Integrity

We don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" or high-pressure sales. We provide written options—from standard architectural shingles to premium impact-resistant systems—so you can make the best decision for your budget and your family’s safety.
4. A Real Workmanship Warranty

A warranty is only as good as the company behind it. We live here, we work here, and we stand behind our work with a strong workmanship guarantee. If you have a problem, you know exactly who to call.
The Bottom Line

Your roof is your home’s biggest protector. While a lower bid might save you money on paper today, a leak-free, properly ventilated roof saves you thousands in energy costs and future repairs over the next decade.

Need an honest assessment? Whether you're dealing with a sudden leak or a roof that's seen better days, we invite you to experience a different kind of roofing experience.
