Defend Roofing is a father-son roofing company based in Lago Vista that serves Bee Cave homes and businesses. We begin with a free 100+ photo inspection of your roof. Repairs start at $395, and full replacements start at $7,900, priced on your roof's actual scope. Call or text 512-777-1751.
The company is owned by Chris and Greyson Buster, part of a third-generation roofing family. Our crews bring 20+ years of combined roofing experience.
Bee Cave has logged repeat hail in recent springs. On the night of April 1, 2024, National Weather Service reports included a measured 1.25-inch hailstone 1 mile north-northwest of Bee Cave and a 1.5-inch stone, about ping-pong ball size, 2 miles north. On March 23, 2025, quarter-size (1-inch) hail was reported just northwest and north-northeast of Bee Cave, with dime-size stones nearby.
Wind shows up in the reports too. On August 27, 2026, a resident 2 miles east of Bee Cave reported 60 mph gusts, branches down and nickel-size hail.
Hail bruises are easy to miss from the ground, and a small break in a shingle can leak months later. Things worth checking after a storm:
The City of Bee Cave is direct about this one. Its building permits page lists "Roof replacement" among the projects that need a permit, alongside remodels, solar panels and new HVAC units. The page points applicants to MyGovernmentOnline.org to apply.
The city also tells residents to contact their homeowners' association for additional requirements and deed restrictions, which can apply even when no city permit is required. If your HOA has rules on roof color or material, read them before choosing a product. Questions about a specific address go to the city's Planning and Development office.
We inspect before we quote. That means a full walk of the roof, 100+ photos, and a sit-down where we show you what we saw. If a repair fixes it, we recommend the repair. If the roof needs replacing, the photos make the case, not a sales script.
Prices come from your roof's real measurements, pitch, layers and materials, in writing, before anything starts. Crews leave the jobsite clean. A new roof comes with a workmanship warranty that lasts as long as the shingle manufacturer's warranty; repairs are not included. The full terms are on our warranty page. Our Google rating is 5.0 across 50+ reviews, which you can read on our reviews page.
After a Bee Cave hailstorm, we inspect the roof and photograph every sign of damage we find. You get a Storm Damage Report and our written estimate, and we can meet your adjuster on site to go over it. Filing a claim, and what the claim pays, is between you and your insurance company. If there's no storm damage, we tell you so.
Yes. The City of Bee Cave's building permits page lists roof replacement as a project that needs a permit, and it directs applicants to MyGovernmentOnline.org. Smaller repairs are not addressed on that page, so if you are unsure whether your repair counts, contact the city's Planning and Development office before the work is scheduled.
Check before you order materials. The city says homeowners should contact their homeowners' association for additional requirements and deed restrictions, and those can apply even when a city permit is not needed. Read the rules on shingle color and roof material if your HOA has them. Getting HOA sign-off early keeps your project from stalling after the permit is issued.
Full replacements start at $7,900. The final number depends on your roof's actual scope: size, pitch, number of layers, decking condition and the shingle line you choose. Repairs start at $395. You get a written price after the inspection, with financing through Enhancify if you want it. Our instant quote gives a quick replacement range.
Yes. Call or text 512-777-1751. During business hours, Monday to Friday 7 AM to 7 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 6 PM, we call back within 15 minutes. The inspection is free and includes 100+ photos, a written Integrity Report and a Storm Damage Report if we find hail or wind damage.
If the last storm left you wondering, find out for sure. Call or text 512-777-1751, or book a free inspection online. We'll show you photos of what's up there and give you a written plan, repair or replacement.
Yes. Every inspection is free and comes with our Integrity Report — photo documentation of your roof's actual condition and a straight repair-vs-replace recommendation. Call or text 512-777-1751 to schedule.
Replacements start at $7,900 and are priced on actual scope — roof size, pitch, materials, and condition. You get an exact documented quote after a free inspection, and financing is available through Enhancify.
Yes. We inspect the roof, photo-document the damage and write a detailed repair estimate. If you decide to file, you can share our report with your insurer, and we can meet your adjuster on the roof to walk through the damage and our estimate. Decisions about your claim are between you and your insurance company.
Often, yes — and repair is our first recommendation whenever it's the right call. Repairs start at $395. If a repair will genuinely solve the problem, that's what we'll tell you, with photos to back it up.
