Your One-Stop Roofing Company in Cedar Park

Half of the homes in Cedar Park were built before 2005, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2020-2024. That puts a large share of original roofs at around 21 years old. Asphalt shingles usually last 20 to 30 years, so many households here are weighing a first replacement, not a second one. The signs show up gradually: curled shingle edges, bare patches, granules collecting in the gutters and ceiling stains after a heavy rain.

Hail makes that decision more urgent. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 81 hail reports within 10 miles of Cedar Park from 2015 through 2024. Of those, 24 were 1.75 inches or larger, all of them in 2021 and 2023, and the largest stone measured 4.0 inches on September 24, 2023. Shingles get more brittle with age, so the same storm that a new roof would survive can crack a two-decade-old one and open a slow leak.

Cedar Park spans Travis County and Williamson County, and about 67 percent of its homes are owner occupied. GemSco is family owned, licensed and insured, and an elite contractor for Owens Corning and GAF.
