Call (833) 756-5022

We’ve been climbing roofs in Converse since the mid-1980s, back when these neighborhoods off Crestway Drive and FM 78 were still filling out with military families from JBSA-Randolph. Our shop is a short run down I-10 from Converse, so we’re usually on-site in the 78109 zip within the hour when you call. That matters when spring storm cells are tracking through Bexar County and you’ve got water pooling on a low-slope patio cover that wasn’t designed for standing water. Call (833) 756-5022 and a live person will answer, 24 hours a day.

Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. of San Antonio Is Converse’s Preferred Specialty Roofing Company

Converse homeowners know the difference between a contractor who’ll be here next spring and one who won’t. We’ve been rooted in this community since 2016, over 42 years of standing behind local roofs, not chasing storms. Our crews live here, shop here, and train apprentices into journeymen who know the specific failure patterns of Converse’s military-adjacent housing stock.

Our reputation in Converse is built on showing up when we say we will and documenting what we find. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and every inspection comes with photos taken from your actual roof, not a scary speech in the driveway. We’ve earned strong word-of-mouth from long-term Converse residents who remember the last contractor who let them down and won’t let it happen twice.

Response time to Converse is typically under an hour for emergencies, same-day for standard calls. We know the area: the low-slope add-ons off Gibbs Sprawl Road, the original patio covers near Converse City Park, the 1980s brick-veneer clusters between FM 78 and Loop 1604. That local knowledge means we spot problems fast and fix them right the first time.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Converse job: written guarantee, no paperwork, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. Cecil Hargrove has stood behind that promise since founding Ridgeline Roofing Co. in 1984, and we still answer to the same standard today.

Our Specialty Roofing Services in Converse

Modified Bitumen Roofing in Converse

Modified bitumen is our most-specified system for Converse’s low-slope patio covers and add-on rooms, and for good reason. The original BUR systems on 1970s-1990s tract homes weren’t designed for the wind-driven rain that Bexar County’s spring storm cells deliver multiple times most years. We install two-ply SBS-modified systems with reinforced edge flashing rated for the wind loads these roofs actually see. A typical modified bitumen re-roof on a Converse patio extension runs $8,500-$13,500, including tear-off and new OSB decking where the old board has rotted from slow leaks.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Replacement in Converse

Built-up roofing was the standard for Converse’s flat and low-slope construction in the 1980s and early 1990s, and many of these systems are still in place, well past service life. We recently gutted and redecked a low-slope patio extension off Crestway Drive in the Converse 78109 corridor, where a 1990s built-up roof had been leaking for years under tenant occupancy. We pulled the old BUR and OSB down to the trusses, installed new OSB with GAF Liberty SBS-modified base sheet and two-ply SBS cap, and added a reinforced scupper detail to handle spring deluges. The owner, an out-of-state landlord, had no idea the deck was rotted until we called him with photos. Full BUR replacement in Converse typically runs $10,000-$16,000 depending on deck condition and scupper complexity.

TPO Roofing in Converse

TPO single-ply membrane handles Converse’s sustained 100°F+ summer heat better than older systems, with reflective white surfaces that reduce thermal cycling stress on the substrate. We specify 60-mil or 80-mil TPO for residential low-slope applications, heat-welded at seams for wind resistance. TPO installation on a typical Converse add-on room or patio cover runs $9,500-$15,000. The material’s UV stability matters here: Bexar County’s combination of intense sun and hail impact means cheap membranes fail fast. We install our Specialty Roofing systems with proper manufacturer-authorized methods, no substitutions.

EPDM Roofing in Converse

EPDM rubber membrane remains a cost-effective choice for certain Converse applications, particularly detached structures and secondary roofs where reflectivity is less critical. We ballast or fully adhere depending on wind exposure, with reinforced perimeter strips at edges. EPDM runs $8,000-$13,000 for typical Converse residential scopes. The black surface absorbs more heat, so we evaluate whether TPO or modified bitumen might serve better given your specific roof’s sun exposure and insulation profile.

Solar Ready Roofing in Converse

Converse’s military rental turnover means many roofs get replaced without solar preparation, then need re-work when panels are added later. We install solar-ready decking and attachment points on new low-slope systems, saving the cost of a second penetration and re-flashing job down the road. Solar-ready prep adds roughly $1,200-$2,500 to a standard replacement but eliminates the $4,000-$7,000 hit of retrofitting a roof that wasn’t built for it.

Green Roof Systems in Converse

Green roofs are rare in Converse’s 78109 market but viable for specific applications: courtyard structures, modern additions, and certain commercial-adjacent residential builds. The key challenge is structural load assessment, particularly on 1970s-1980s truss systems that weren’t engineered for saturated growing media. We coordinate with structural engineers when needed and install full waterproofing assemblies with root barriers and drainage mats. Green roof systems in Converse start around $18,000 for small residential scopes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Converse

We stock and install authorized products from seven leading manufacturers, including Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko. For Converse’s specialty roofing needs, we carry GAF Liberty SBS-modified systems and TPO membrane in our San Antonio warehouse, which means no waiting on freight when your patio cover is leaking into the kitchen. Every material is specified to the job, not swapped at install, and every system carries full manufacturer warranty when installed to their standards. Our technicians train directly with brand representatives, so the Atlas TPO on your Converse home goes down the way Atlas engineered it.

Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Converse Homes

• Unreinforced low-slope patio covers and add-on rooms leak at flashing and scupper points because original 3-tab or BUR systems weren’t designed for standing water. Converse’s spring deluges overwhelm these details, and water sits until it finds a path through.
• Wind-driven rain from spring storms lifts edge flashing on modified bitumen and EPDM roofs, leading to concealed deck rot before any interior stain appears. By the time you see a ceiling bubble, the OSB underneath has been compromised for months.
• Outdated OSB decking from 1970s-1990s construction fails under impact-rated re-roofs due to years of slow leaks from short-rotation tenants who never report drips. We pull shingles and find punky board far more often in Converse’s rental stock than owners expect.
• UV granule loss accelerates dramatically on south- and west-facing low-slope surfaces in Converse’s 100°F+ summer heat, shortening effective shingle and membrane life well below manufacturer ratings. What says 20 years on paper often needs attention at 12-15 in this sun.
