Your One-Stop Roofing Company in Schertz

Half of the homes in Schertz were built before 2002, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2020-2024. Many roofs here are about 24 years old, well into the 20 to 30 years asphalt shingles usually last. If your home still has its original roof, it is worth knowing its condition before a leak decides for you. An inspection now lets you plan a replacement on your schedule instead of in an emergency.

Hail has been less of a factor here. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 30 hail reports within 10 miles of Schertz from 2015 through 2024, and only one reached 1.75 inches or more: a 2.0-inch stone on April 12, 2016. For most homes, the wear comes from sun, heat, wind and heavy rain. Watch for shingles lifted or missing after strong wind, cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents, worn flashing at chimneys and walls, and water stains on ceilings.

About 78 percent of homes in Schertz are owner occupied, so most roof decisions here are made by the family living under it. Schertz spans Bexar County, Comal County and Guadalupe County.
