In Schertz, roof age matters more than hail

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. GemSco is family owned, licensed and insured, and an elite contractor for Owens Corning and GAF. We handle repairs, full replacements, gutters and solar panel installation, and every job starts with a free estimate. We also serve San Antonio and New Braunfels.

Roofing Questions in Schertz

How do I know my Schertz roof is near the end of its life?

Look at age first: past 20 years, asphalt shingles are in their final stretch. Then look for curling or cracked shingles, bare spots, heavy granule buildup in the gutters, daylight in the attic or recurring stains on ceilings. One sign alone may only need a repair. Several together usually mean it is time to plan a replacement.

Can wind damage a roof even without hail?

Yes. Strong gusts can lift shingle tabs and break the adhesive strip that holds them flat, even when nothing falls off. Once that seal is broken, the next storm can peel the shingle away or drive rain underneath. Creased or missing shingles and debris on the roof after a windy day are worth a closer look.

Should I replace an old roof before installing solar panels in Schertz?

Often, yes. Panels sit on the roof for many years, and removing and reinstalling them to replace shingles later adds work and cost. If your roof is past the midpoint of its life, replacing it first usually makes sense. GemSco does both roofing and solar panel installation, so we can look at the roof and the solar plan together.
