Roof Replacement in Boerne and the Hill Country
A new roof on a Hill Country home has to handle two things roofers down in San Antonio don’t think about as much: the wind that comes across open ridgelines, and homeowners who expect the roof to match the limestone and cedar under it. We’ve been replacing roofs in Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch and Kendall County since 2010: shingle, standing seam metal and tile, fully insured, warranty in writing.

When a Hill Country Roof Is Actually Done
Hill Country sun and hail shorten a shingle’s life. Wind across open lots finishes the job.
Architectural shingles are rated for 25 to 30 years. On an exposed lot in Fair Oaks Ranch or Cordillera Ranch, with no tree cover and spring hail most years, 15 to 20 is realistic. The signs are the usual ones, granule loss, curling, cracked boots and multiple leaks, but around Boerne we see one more: wind-creased shingles along ridges and rakes that never fully seal again after a big blow.
The other pattern is age on metal. Many Hill Country homes from the 1990s and 2000s have exposed-fastener metal roofs whose screws have backed out and whose washers have failed. That’s not always replacement; sometimes it’s a fastener and sealant campaign. We’ll tell you which.
- Shingles curling, cracking or creased along ridges
- Granule loss and bald patches, especially on south and west slopes
- Hail bruising counted across multiple slopes
- Backed-out fasteners and failed washers on metal roofs
- Multiple active leaks or soft decking
- A roof older than 15 years with a sale or insurance renewal coming

Shingle, Metal or Tile?
In the Hill Country the answer is more often metal than anywhere else in Texas. Not always.
Standing seam metal fits the architecture, reflects heat, lasts 40 to 60 years and shrugs off hail; it costs two to three times what shingles do. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the value choice and many insurers discount them. Tile suits the Mediterranean and Spanish homes in Fair Oaks Ranch and The Dominion. We quote two or three options side by side after inspecting; see metal, shingle and tile. Financing is available on every replacement.
Roof Replacement FAQ, Boerne
How long does a roof replacement take in Boerne?
One to two days for most shingle roofs. Standing seam metal three to five days depending on size and complexity; tile longer. We never leave decking exposed overnight.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Boerne?
The City of Boerne has permitting requirements for re-roofing, and Kendall County and the surrounding cities differ. HOAs like Fair Oaks Ranch and Cordillera Ranch have architectural rules on color and material. We’ll walk you through what applies to your address.
What roof holds up best to Hill Country wind?
Standing seam metal with a high-wind clip system, or Class 4 shingles rated for 130 mph installed with six nails. On exposed ridgeline lots, wind rating matters as much as hail rating.
Can you match the look of my stone-and-cedar home?
Yes. Standing seam in a matte finish, or designer shingles that mimic slate or shake, are the usual answers. We bring samples to the estimate.
Will a new roof lower my insurance?
Often. Many Texas insurers discount Class 4 shingles and metal roofs. Ask your agent; we provide the documentation.
