Roof Repair in Pecan Springs-Springdale

The permit record for Pecan Springs-Springdale

Roof permits in Pecan Springs-Springdale, year by year

The busiest year on record for Pecan Springs-Springdale was 2018, with 23 permits. When one area jumps and the rest of the city does not, the cause came out of the sky. The lag between the hail and the paperwork usually runs a season.

17 permits in 2023–2025 against 16 in 2020–2022: a change of +6%. Flat, in other words. Steady numbers year after year are the signature of ordinary wear rather than weather.

Roughly 16% of the roof work permitted in Pecan Springs-Springdale is on commercial buildings rather than houses — a mixed area, and worth remembering when you compare the total against a purely residential one.

Permits per square mile

Pecan Springs-Springdale covers 1.53 square miles, which works out at 74 roof permits per square mile — 44th densest of the 91 neighbourhoods with a measured area. The city average is 99.

Right around the city norm. Geography is not going to be the reason a price here comes in high or low.

Both rankings agree here: 55th by volume, 44th by density. Nothing about Pecan Springs-Springdale is an outlier in either direction, which in this context is genuinely useful information.

What the work in Pecan Springs-Springdale actually is

• Repair — 77 (68%)
• Remodel — 23 (20%)
• Addition and Remodel — 12 (11%)
• Addition — 1 (1%)

More than a third of it is booked as repair rather than replacement. Repair-heavy neighbourhoods are where quotes vary most wildly, because two roofers looking at the same patch can honestly disagree about whether it needs mending or replacing — and the difference between those two answers is most of the money.

Pecan Springs-Springdale prices, from the filings

58 residential roof permits in Pecan Springs-Springdale carry a declared value. The median is $12,800. Deliberately the median: averages in small areas are hostage to whichever house had the most ambitious owner that year.

Comfortably below the $21,890 neighbourhood median. Read that as smaller and simpler rather than cheaper — a plain gable roof is a day’s work for a crew that would spend three days on a cut-up one.

A permit value is an intention, not an outcome. Still better evidence than a national average, because somebody wrote it while standing in front of the actual house.

How old are the roofs here

Since 2006 the city has permitted 645 new homes inside Pecan Springs-Springdale. 169 of them — 26% — went up between 2006 and 2010.

169 houses built inside five years is a wave, not a trickle. Heat, ultraviolet and the odd hail event take four or five years off a shingle’s rated life here, which puts the whole group past sixteen and into the stretch where a storm stops being survivable.

Pecan Springs-Springdale has its own storm year

Austin as a whole peaked in 2024. Pecan Springs-Springdale peaked in 2018 — a different year entirely. That year ran 254% above this neighbourhood’s own average, which is the signature of a hail band rather than ordinary wear.

City-level figures flatten exactly the thing you want to see. Pecan Springs-Springdale peaked in 2018 while Austin peaked in 2024, which means the roofs replaced on these streets are on a clock of their own — 8 years and counting.

For scale: Pecan Springs-Springdale holds 0.8% of every roof permit issued in Austin.
