San Antonio Roofing Contractor

Hail, heat and a lot of valleys

A roof in San Antonio has two jobs that pull in opposite directions. Through spring it has to shrug off hail and straight-line wind from storms that build over the Hill Country and roll across Bexar County in an afternoon. Through a long summer it sits under sun that pushes attic temperatures far past the air outside, drying sealant around skylights, vents and chimneys until the next downpour finds the gap.

The houses add their own complications. North-side homes in The Dominion, Stone Oak and Timberwood Park tend to be big limestone and stucco builds with steep, cut-up roofs, tile or architectural shingle, and an HOA that wants to approve the colour. Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills have older homes with additions, low-slope porches and chimneys that have been patched more than once. The northeast suburbs are mostly shingle roofs of a similar age, so when one street gets hail, every house on it usually needs a look.

We start with the roof itself, not a sales sheet: a walk of the surface, the attic where we can reach it, and dated photos of what we find. Then you get repair and replacement options in writing, so you can decide, or hand the photos to your insurer.
