We’ve been standing behind roofs in the Schertz area for over 42 years, and that longevity matters when you’re choosing who to let onto your property after a storm. Cecil Hargrove founded this company in 1984 on the principle that a roof is only as good as the crew that installs it and the promise that backs it.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document every inspection with photos taken from your actual roof, not the driveway. Schertz homeowners tell us they appreciate that we hire local crews, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be here in thirty years, not thirty days.

No callback windows that leave you watching the next band of weather roll in.

We’re not storm chasers. We’re the company that installed your neighbor’s roof in Green Valley Farms, that tarped the place on Schertz Parkway before the second wave hit, that helped a retired Air Force colonel near JBSA-Randolph navigate his insurance claim after the April hail event. That reputation is built one honest course at a time.

Our Emergency & Storm Damage Services in Schertz

Storm Damage Repair

Schertz’s explosive residential growth from the 1990s through the 2010s produced a housing stock that is unusually narrow in age. Most tract-home roofs were installed within the same 15-year window and are now simultaneously reaching the end of their 20-25 year lifespan. This means our storm damage repair work in Schertz frequently involves full system replacements rather than the patchwork repairs typical of older, more mixed-vintage cities like Converse or Universal City. After a spring hailstorm, we worked on a home in the Green Valley Farms subdivision off FM 3009 where a failing ridge vent had allowed wind-driven rain to saturate the attic. We installed GAF WeatherWatch underlayment and replaced the compromised architectural shingles with impact-rated ones, meeting Schertz’s wind-resistance standards. The job was done in a single visit, and the homeowner’s photos went straight to their adjuster.

Emergency Tarp Service

Delaying tarp installation after a storm allows wind to peel back damaged shingles, exposing the deck to further rain damage. In Schertz, where spring supercells often come in waves, that delay can turn a $400 tarp-and-patch into a $3,000 deck replacement. Our crews carry 10×10 and 20×20 tarps, plywood, and temporary sealants on every truck, and we aim to have your roof secured before the next band arrives. Same-day service is standard for active leaks in the 78154 ZIP code. The number on our estimate is the number on your invoice. A square deal: the price we quote is the price you pay.

Insurance Claims Assistance

Schertz sits squarely in the hail-active corridor northeast of San Antonio, making storm-damage insurance claims the single biggest driver of roofing work in this market. We’ve worked with every major carrier serving Schertz homeowners, and we know what documentation speeds approval and what triggers delays. Our photo-documented inspections give adjusters clear evidence of impact patterns, wind-lifted shingles, and deck saturation. We also flag local code upgrades for wind ratings that many homeowners overlook. Assuming insurance will cover full replacement without pre-authorizing these upgrades is a common mistake that can leave you paying thousands out of pocket. We walk you through the paperwork, meet adjusters on site when needed, and make sure your claim reflects the actual scope of work required to bring your roof up to current standards.

Wind Damage Repair

Schertz’s position on the edge of Tornado Alley means wind events aren’t theoretical. Summer thunderstorms and spring supercells regularly produce gusts that test the limits of standard three-tab shingles, especially on homes built during the 1990s-2000s construction boom where builder-grade materials were common. We assess wind damage for lifted shingles, compromised seal strips, and structural stress at valleys and ridges. Overlooking impact-rated door reinforcement can lead to failures during the next storm, compromising the building envelope. When we repair wind damage in Schertz, we evaluate whether your current system meets modern wind-resistance standards, and we’ll tell you straight if reinforcement or full replacement is the smarter long-term play.

Hail Damage Assessment

Hail is Schertz’s most destructive and most frequent roofing threat. The granule loss from repeated spring hail events, compounded by summer temperatures that regularly exceed 100°F with intense UV radiation, accelerates the failure of aging shingles already compromised by impact. We use chalk-circle mapping to document hail strikes for insurance purposes, and we know the difference between cosmetic bruising and fractures that will leak in six months. Many Schertz homeowners ask us: can I just repair a few missing shingles after a hailstorm? Sometimes, yes. More often, on these 20-25 year roofs hitting end-of-life in bulk, spot repairs are throwing good money after bad. We’ll show you the photos and give you an honest assessment.

Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz

We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and we stock common repair components for all three brands at our San Antonio warehouse, which means faster turnaround for Schertz customers who can’t wait two weeks for a specialty ridge vent or matching shingle bundle. For full replacements, we also work with IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, selecting the right material for your roof’s pitch, your neighborhood’s HOA requirements, and your insurance coverage. We don’t substitute materials without your written approval. Done right, and if it’s not, we make it right.

Common Emergency & Storm Damage Problems We See in Schertz Homes

• Mass simultaneous roof aging: Because most Schertz homes were built between 1995 and 2010, we’re seeing entire subdivisions where architectural shingles installed with 25-year warranties are failing within the same two- to three-year window. One hailstorm can push fifty borderline roofs into immediate replacement territory.
• Granule loss accelerated by UV and hail cycling: Schertz’s 100°F-plus summers bake shingles that have already lost protective granules to spring hail. The result is brittle, cracked shingles that lift in moderate wind and leak in the first hard rain.
• Transaction-driven emergency repairs: The large active-duty and veteran population tied to nearby JBSA-Randolph generates unusually high home-sale turnover. VA and FHA loan appraisals flag any roof showing more than a few years of remaining life, routinely converting borderline roofs into mandatory pre-sale full replacements. This makes transaction-driven roofing demand a distinctly larger share of the Schertz market than in comparable civilian suburbs.
• Code upgrade gaps in insurance claims: Many Schertz homeowners discover too late that their standard policy doesn’t cover the cost of bringing a damaged roof up to current wind-resistance standards. We catch these gaps during our initial inspection and document them for the adjuster.
