What we do, first hand
Tile Roof Inspections & Repair
Tile roofs last a long time, but the accessories do not. We perform thorough inspections, repair broken tiles, and catch small problems before they become leaks.
Designer Residential Exteriors
From exterior repairs to full designer refreshes, we help your home look its best and stand up to Texas weather.
Siding Done Right
We only install products designed for vertical application. No shortcuts, no composition shingles on your walls, just siding that is built to last.
Decks, Patios & Outdoor Living
Backyard decks and patio spaces built for relaxing, grilling, and making the most of the Texas evenings.

Why Quality Matters
The right contractor makes all the difference
Thorough Inspections
Not everything is about broken tiles. When we inspect a roof, we check the whole system so nothing gets missed.
Annual Preventative Care
A yearly preventative inspection extends the life of your roof and exterior, and saves you from surprise repairs.
Signed Workmanship
You will always find a hidden signature on our work. We put our name on everything we build, because we stand behind it.
FAQ
Common questions, straight answers
What services does First Hand Contracting offer?
First Hand Contracting provides commercial redesign and building refreshes, tile roof inspections and repair, designer residential exteriors, siding installation, security upgrades, and deck and patio construction in Austin, Texas.
Where is First Hand Contracting located?
First Hand Contracting LLC is based in Austin, Texas and serves homeowners and businesses throughout the greater Austin area.
How long does a tile roof last?
A tile roof can last 50 years or more, but its accessories like underlayment, flashing, and pipe boots wear out sooner. That is why we recommend a preventative inspection every year.
How often should I have my tile roof inspected?
You should have a tile roof inspected once a year. Annual inspections catch cracked tiles, worn accessories, and small leaks before they turn into expensive damage.
What does a thorough roof inspection include?
A thorough inspection goes beyond broken tiles. We check flashing, pipe jack boots, attic ventilation, underlayment condition, and signs of hidden moisture so the whole system is verified, not just the surface.
Can I use composition shingles as siding?
No. Composition shingles are designed for roofs, not vertical walls. Siding should always be a product rated for vertical application, otherwise it will fail early and cost you more in the long run.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We handle commercial property refreshes, steel frameouts, and security curtain installations for retail and storage facilities, in addition to our residential work.
What is a steel frameout security curtain?
A steel frameout security curtain is a reinforced steel frame with a roll-down curtain that protects storefronts and storage facilities from break-ins while keeping a clean, professional look.
Do you build decks and patios?
Yes. We design and build backyard decks, covered patios, and outdoor living spaces tailored to how you want to use your yard.
