Our Roofing Services in New Braunfels, TX
Roof Replacement
Replacement here starts with a question most quotes skip: what is already on the deck. Roughly half the homes we look at wear asphalt shingles, and a growing share wear exposed-fastener metal panels that are nowhere near finished.
Roof Leak Repair
If water is coming in right now, move what is under it, set a bucket down and photograph the ceiling before it dries. Then call.
Storm Damage Roof Restoration
A cell crossing the escarpment can hit one subdivision hard and leave the next street untouched. Restoration starts by establishing what this storm actually did to this building, separately from everything that was already wrong with it.
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Hail is real in this valley, and metal changes the argument completely. On a shingle roof hail either bruises the mat or it does not.
Wind Damage Roof Repair
Wind here does not need a named storm. Outflow off a collapsing thunderstorm rolls down the limestone shelf and arrives at the eaves of houses standing on open ground where a hayfield sat two years ago.
Roof Inspections
An inspection on a metal roof is a count, not a stroll. We are looking for how many fasteners have backed out, where on the slope they cluster, and whether the pattern points at thermal movement, poor torque or a purlin line that was never straight.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Most roofs in this city are still shingles, and on plenty of houses that is the correct answer. Metal costs two to three times as much installed, and there are homes where that difference buys nothing the owner will ever notice.
Metal Roofing
There are two metal roofs, and people shopping for one usually do not know which they are being quoted. Exposed-fastener panel puts screws through the face of the steel.
Tile Roofing
We install tile, and we talk more people out of it than into it. A concrete tile roof weighs six to eleven pounds a square foot, where architectural shingles sit under three, and most tract framing on this corridor was never engineered to carry that.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
Low slope on a Hill Country house is usually not the main roof. It is the covered patio, the carport, the bedroom somebody added over a slab, and the flat band behind a parapet on a downtown building.
Roof Coatings & Sealing
A coating is not a repair. It is a membrane sprayed or rolled over a roof that is already watertight, to buy years of service life.
Roof Ventilation
Attic heat is the quiet cost of living here. Roof surfaces reach temperatures that push heat down through the sheathing all afternoon, and the assembly either has a way to move that air out or it stores it above your ceiling until well past midnight.
Skylights
A skylight in a metal roof is a curb problem before it is a glass problem. The unit sits on a curb tall enough that water running down the panel cannot reach the top of it, and that height is set by the profile rather than the catalog.
Gutters & Downspouts
Rain here does not arrive gently. A single cell can drop several inches in an hour onto caliche and rock that take almost none of it.
Fascia & Soffit
Fascia and soffit are where roof failures become visible from the driveway. By the time a board is soft or a soffit panel sags, water has been going somewhere it should not for a couple of seasons, and the edge of the roof is usually the reason.
Chimney Flashing
More of our leak calls trace back to a chimney than to anything else on a roof, usually because somebody sealed a joint instead of flashing it. Caulk spans a gap.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Tarping is triage. The point is to keep tonight's water out of the building without creating damage that has to be repaired tomorrow, and on a metal roof that second half is harder than most people expect.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial work on this corridor is mostly metal buildings. Distribution and light manufacturing off the interstate, equipment dealers, event venues along the river, churches and school buildings, and the older shops behind downtown that have been re-purposed twice.
Insurance Claim Support
We do not adjust claims and we are not public adjusters. What we do is document a roof accurately enough that whoever does adjust it can see what we saw, and explain the parts of a metal roof policy that surprise owners after a storm.
New Braunfels Roof Pros is a licensed, insured roofing contractor in New Braunfels, Texas, handling roof replacement, roof leak repair, hail and wind damage, metal roofing, asphalt shingle roofs, tile, flat and low-slope work, coatings, ventilation, skylights, gutters, fascia and soffit, chimney flashing, emergency tarping and commercial roofing across Comal and Guadalupe counties. We are licensed, insured and bonded in Texas, and every inspection is free.
We specialize in metal. Standing seam in 24-gauge with a Kynar 500 finish and floating clips, PBR exposed-fastener panel where the run is short and the budget is real, and the fastener retrofits that keep a twelve-year-old panel roof out of the landfill. Every proposal names gauge, profile, clip type, fastener spacing and underlayment. A quote listing only a color and a price is not a specification.
We also install architectural shingles, concrete and clay tile, TPO and modified bitumen, and we will say plainly when a shingle roof is the better buy for your house. Inspections are free, photographed and written down, and we put it in writing when a roof does not need replacing. Call for a free inspection anywhere from Canyon Lake and Bulverde down to Schertz, Cibolo and Seguin.
What New Braunfels Customers Say
Two companies told me the metal roof was done. These guys counted the loose screws slope by slope, showed me the photos, and re-screwed the whole roof with bigger fasteners and new washers for about a fifth of a replacement. It has been through two storms since and stayed dry.
The leak was coming through a bedroom ceiling nowhere near the actual hole. They traced it back along the panel to a headwall where somebody had used caulk instead of a proper flashing, rebuilt that detail, and hose-tested it before they left.
Wind took the rake trim off the west side. They put the new trim on with tighter fastener spacing and a hemmed edge instead of just matching what was there, and explained why. Straight answers, no pressure, and the quote listed every part.
They inspected after the hail and told me my roof had wear, not storm damage, and that filing would probably get me a denial on my record. Wrote it down for me. Then repaired what needed repairing at a fair price.

About New Braunfels Roof Pros in New Braunfels, TX
New Braunfels Roof Pros works on the ground between the Balcones escarpment and the prairie, where the limestone is shallow, the rivers rise fast and the city has been building on rock for a decade straight. That mix put a great many metal panel roofs on new houses very quickly, and it is why most of what we do involves panels, fasteners and the details where a roof meets a wall.
There are jobs you should not hire us for. If your roof is under a manufacturer warranty claim, call the manufacturer first. If a single cracked tile or one lifted shingle is the whole problem, a handyman with a ladder will charge you less than our minimum and do it correctly. And if we inspect your roof and find wear rather than storm damage, we will tell you not to file, price the repair as ordinary work, and go.
What you get from us is a written scope that names materials and methods, our own crews doing the installation, trim and pans formed on our own brake, photographs of everything before and after, and a written workmanship warranty. We are licensed, insured and bonded in Texas, and we do not knock doors after a storm.
How It Works
- 1
Free Inspection, Fastener by Fastener
We walk every plane, count loose and over-driven screws inside marked ten-foot sections, lift shingle tabs to check nail placement and seal bond, and get into the attic with a light. You get the photographs whether or not there is any work in it for us.
- 2
A Written Scope, Not a Number
The proposal names panel profile, gauge, clip type, fastener spacing, underlayment and finish warranty, with upgrades priced on their own lines. If a repair will do the job, we price the repair alongside the replacement and let you compare the two side by side.
- 3
Our Own Crew, Our Own Metal
The person who wrote your scope is on site while it is installed. Trim, chimney pans and counterflashing are formed on our brake to fit your roof rather than pulled off a shelf, and we hand-seal the details instead of waiting on the sun to do it.
- 4
Cleanup, Photos and Warranty
Old material leaves the same day it comes off, we run a rolling magnet across the drive and the caliche twice, and you get a photo set of the finished work with the written workmanship warranty attached to it.
Commercial Roofing in New Braunfels & Across the Southern Hill Country
Most commercial roofs on this corridor are pre-engineered metal buildings: distribution and light manufacturing off the interstate, equipment dealers, event venues along the rivers, churches and school buildings, and older shops downtown that have been re-purposed twice.
After twenty years the fastener holes on those roofs are elongated and the sidelaps have opened, and the choice is a tear-off, a coating restoration, or a retrofit that frames a new standing seam roof above the old panel while the building keeps operating underneath. We price all three.
On flat retail, offices and clinics we install TPO and modified bitumen over high-density cover board with edge metal specified to a tested standard. Property managers get one condition report per building with a repair-versus-replace order attached.
- ✓Standing seam retrofit over an existing metal building roof, no tear-off, no downtime
- ✓60 and 80 mil TPO, EPDM and two-ply modified bitumen systems
- ✓Half-inch high-density cover board beneath the membrane for impact resistance
- ✓Fastener retrofits and coating restoration on sound metal building roofs
- ✓Tapered insulation to build fall toward drains and scuppers
- ✓Edge metal specified to a tested wind standard rather than left off the bid
- ✓Scheduled maintenance: seam checks, pitch pans, drains, penetrations, closures
- ✓Sectioned schedules with night and weekend work so tenants never close

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a metal roof worth the money in New Braunfels?
Often, but it depends which metal roof. A 24-gauge standing seam with floating clips and high-temperature underlayment will outlive two shingle roofs and handle the heat swings in this valley without tearing its own fastener holes. Exposed-fastener panel costs much less and is a sensible choice on a barn, a shop or a porch with short runs.
On a two-story house with thirty-foot panels it commits you to a screw retrofit around year twelve, and that belongs in the comparison before you sign anything.
My metal roof leaks at the screws. Do I need a whole new roof?
Usually not. If the panels are straight, the finish is intact and the leaks trace to fastener holes, the fix is a retrofit: every screw pulled and replaced with a larger diameter and a fresh bonded washer, and the sidelaps re-sealed with butyl tape. It costs a fraction of a replacement. We count the loose fasteners in marked sections first so the decision is based on a percentage rather than on a sales pitch.
Will my insurance pay for dents in a metal roof after hail?
Read your endorsements before hail season. Many Texas policies carry a cosmetic damage exclusion on metal roofs, often accepted years earlier in exchange for a premium discount. It pays for a panel that leaks and declines a panel that is only dimpled. We will look at your declarations page with you and tell you what is likely covered before anyone files, because a denied claim still shows up in your loss history.
How fast can you get out after a storm?
Tarping and stabilization come first and we work through the list by severity, not by who called first. Access is the variable here: low water crossings on the creeks close during heavy rain and the river roads flood before the highway does. We give you a real window and call from the road if it moves, rather than promising an hour we cannot hold and then arriving the next afternoon.
Can you put clay or concrete tile on my house?
Only if the framing was drawn for it. Concrete tile runs six to eleven pounds a square foot where architectural shingles sit under three, and most tract framing along this corridor was never engineered for that. Adding tile to a house framed for shingles means an engineer and usually extra bracing, which costs more than the tile. On a custom home built for it, tile is a beautiful roof and we install it.
Which areas do you cover besides New Braunfels?
We work across Comal and Guadalupe counties and into Hays, Caldwell, Kendall and northern Bexar. That covers Canyon Lake, Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Seguin, McQueeney, Marion, Cibolo, Schertz, Selma, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Wimberley, Woodcreek, Dripping Springs, Uhland, Martindale, Lockhart, Luling, Redwood, Geronimo, Santa Clara, New Berlin, Fair Oaks Ranch and Boerne. Inspections are free anywhere in that radius.
