Services
Our team is experienced in repairing tile and shingle roofs affected by leaks, weather, and general damage. We repair porch and chimney leaks, replace missing shingles, and restore damaged flashing and ventilation components. Roof damage caused by wind, hail, and animals is also professionally repaired. Taking immediate action on roofing problems helps reduce leak-related damage and prevents more costly repairs from developing over time. 
We replace all major residential roofing systems, including shingle, metal, flat, and TPO roofs. Our team takes the time to answer every question so homeowners fully understand the roofing process and available options. Once we inspect your roof, we will determine whether repairs are appropriate or if replacing the roof is the best solution. 
We help homeowners identify hidden roof damage through professional storm damage inspections following severe weather events. Addressing roofing issues early can reduce the likelihood of more expensive repairs later on. Because Texas weather is often unpredictable, we focus on helping customers protect their investments with detailed inspections. We also regularly work with homeowners handling insurance claims for roofing repairs or replacements and understand the process used in Austin. 
We provide professional siding installation and repair services that help homeowners maintain durable and attractive exteriors. Since 2005, Driftwood Builders Roofing has restored storm-damaged siding and installed high-quality systems designed to last for years. Our commitment to honest guidance and dependable workmanship ensures every project is handled with professionalism and care. 
We provide interior and exterior painting services in Austin, Texas delivering durable finishes built harsh climates. Our process emphasizes careful preparation, clean protected areas, and minimal disruption during each project. Painting is advised when surfaces are peeling, cracking, fading, or preparing to sell or refresh appearance. We aim to improve curb appeal and provide protection. People

Nick Riley and his crew are wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend them. They are honest, hard working and give fair estimates on the work to be done. They also went the extra mile to diagnose any problems that should be addressed with our roof in addition to the problem that already existed. Guillermo is a fantastic foreman as well. He explains things well and took his time to make sure that everything was done properly. I highly recommend Driftwood Builders Roofing and the Nick Riley, Guillermo crew.

Twice in the past four years Driftwood Builders Roofing promptly replaced our roof (and gutters / spouts) after hailstorms. In both cases, Nathan performed an inspection within a day, coordinated with our insurance company and solar panel firm, and managed the work with excellent communication. The first project replaced the original asphalt roof with metal; the second, after a more severe (!) storm, replaced the metal roof.

Tom did a great job of getting my roof repaired after a bad hail storm. He and his crew were professional and great to work with. He met the insurance adjuster at my home and discussed any issues with him at that time. He also handled any contact with my insurance company. Great experience.Paid Insurance deductible. I like the look of the shingles, color and ridges.

Nathan’s service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and highly responsive. He helped us secure a larger insurance reimbursement, and provided thorough support from start to finish, including thoughtful follow-up after the job. The crew was professional, considerate of neighbors’ access, completed the work on schedule, and left the area spotless. Highly recommended!

Nathan and his team were excellent in navigating a large, complex project. He was punctual, thorough & guided me through the process. He and his team did great work from start to finish, and left our home/ work site clean and safe from debris. Since our roof was replaced, we experienced another hail storm and Nathan immediately came out to check on our roof. Luckily there was no damage, but his commitment to clients is top notch!

Driftwood Builders has been great to work with. We had our roof replaced because of Hail Damage. Driftwood gave us a very reasonable estimate. We had “shopped” two other builders. We selected Driftwood because the pricing given was reasonable. And instead of focusing on what they could do to reduce the amount we paid in deductible, they focused on the quality of the work AND gave a reasonable cost. After a couple of years, we developed a small leak around one of the dormers. Driftwood Builders came out the next day and by the end of the week, they had replaced the under payment plywood and a section of the roof. Following that they repainted the interior ceiling. We were impressed that they really replaced a larger section of roof than necessary to make sure the leak was permanently repaired. Highly recommend Driftwood Builders!

Chris and his crews were great to work with. The team was punctual, communicated well until the day of toof replacement, stayed throughout the roof repair and made sure everything was in good working order till the end. Roof replacement was done in a day and the crews made sure the perimeter was clear from the debris, nails and etc. Christina at the desk kept me informed and seamlessly worked with my insurance. Great communication from the company. Overall I am a very happy customer

Great experience with Driftwood Builders Roofing, from start to finish. Chris was very patient with answering all my questions and concerns. He walked me through the entire process, including insurance claim and paperwork. He and his crew provided excellent service during the roof replacement. Prompt to respond and address some issues post-installation. I definitively recommend them.

After the huge hailstorm earlier this year, I got quotes from five different companies. Sure the quotes were very similar but Chris from Driftwood came out, SHOWED me what the other roofing companies had done incorrectly in my neighborhood, AND for no cost at all fixed a slightly more than minor leak on my roof without me even committing to Driftwood for the final reroofing. They were fast and clean. Very glad I picked Driftwood.
