Central Texas Roofing Expert
Roofing Contractor Serving Schertz, TX
Schertz has grown significantly over the past two decades, and its housing stock reflects that growth in layers. Older neighborhoods like Northcliffe, Scenic Hills, and Aviation Heights have homes from the 1970s and 1980s that are now well past the age when a full roof assessment matters. Newer communities — including The Crossvine, Woodbridge, and the subdivisions along FM 3009 – have homes built in the 2000s and 2010s now entering the range where hail seasons and storm damage start to compound.
Altitude Roofing is GAF Master Elite certified, placing us in the top 2% of roofing contractors in the country, and we have been serving homeowners across the greater San Antonio corridor and Central Texas for over 20 years. Every job is handled by our own in-house crew. No subcontracting.

What Roofing in Schertz Actually Looks Like
Schertz sits in Guadalupe County northeast of San Antonio, and its housing stock breaks into two distinct layers that create different roofing conversations.
The older established neighborhoods – Northcliffe, Scenic Hills, Aviation Heights, and parts of the city near downtown Schertz – were built primarily in the 1970s and 1980s. Homes in these areas have roofs that have been through 30 to 40 years of South Texas weather cycles. Some have been patched over the years without a comprehensive replacement. Flat-to-moderate pitch profiles are common in these neighborhoods, and original materials on older homes mean the replacement conversation is often overdue.
The newer communities along FM 3009, FM 1518, and in the south part of the city tell a different story. Subdivisions like The Crossvine, Woodbridge, Kensington Ranch, Carolina Crossing, and Rhine Valley brought thousands of homes to Schertz in the 2000s and 2010s. Most of these carry architectural shingles that are now 8 to 20 years old – the age range where Guadalupe County hail events start to matter and where a post-storm inspection makes a real difference.
Schertz also sits in a genuine storm corridor. Doppler radar has detected hail near Schertz more than 75 times on record, and the area sees regular severe thunderstorm warnings each spring. That exposure, combined with the wide range of roof ages across the city, means the roofing situation here varies significantly by neighborhood and by when your home was built.
Common Roof Issues We See in Schertz
Hail damage on 2000s-2010s subdivision homes
The bulk of Schertz’s newer housing stock was built during a period of rapid subdivision growth. Many of these roofs are now 10 to 20 years old and have been through multiple hail seasons. Granule loss and impact bruising that was not documented after prior storms can accumulate across several seasons, and homeowners are often unaware of the extent until a full inspection is done.
Aged materials on older Northcliffe-era homes
Homes in Northcliffe, Scenic Hills, and Aviation Heights that have never had a full replacement are carrying roofs from a previous generation of materials. These properties often have multiple layers of shingles from successive repairs, and the underlying deck condition may not have been assessed in decades. A roof this age in South Texas weather needs more than a patch.
Pipe boot and flashing failure
On subdivision homes built in the early 2000s, pipe boot seals and step flashing are now at the age range where UV degradation and thermal cycling create the most common entry points for water. These are the repairs we find most frequently on 15-to-20-year-old Schertz homes that have not had a recent inspection.
Storm-related wind and debris damage
Schertz gets hit regularly by the same spring severe weather systems that move northeast from San Antonio. High-wind events can displace ridge caps, lift shingles at the corners, and dislodge gutters on homes of any age. Post-storm inspections on both older and newer Schertz homes regularly turn up damage that was not visible from the ground.
Seasonal Roof Maintenance Tips for Schertz Homeowners
Spring is peak storm season for Guadalupe County. Before the first major system moves through, inspect or schedule an inspection to confirm flashing, pipe boots, and ridge cap integrity. After any hail event, get eyes on the roof within a few weeks — Schertz’s hail frequency means accumulated damage from prior seasons is a real factor on older subdivision roofs.
Schertz summers are hot and humidity from the Gulf adds a thermal load that accelerates shingle aging faster than in drier parts of Central Texas. Check that attic ventilation is functioning — ridge vents and soffit vents should be clear. Homes in The Crossvine and other newer communities with two-story profiles are especially sensitive to ventilation-driven heat buildup.
With lower temperatures and increased rainfall, fall is the right time to clear gutters and check that downspouts are directing water away from the foundation. On older Northcliffe-area homes with mature trees, debris accumulation in valleys and gutters is a consistent maintenance issue heading into the wet season.
Schertz winters are mild but periodic hard freezes hit the area. After a freeze event, check for any cracked or lifted flashing at transitions — freeze-thaw cycling on already-aging sealants on older homes can open small gaps that show up as leaks in the next heavy rain. A visual check from the ground after any significant cold event takes five minutes and can prevent a much larger problem.

Storm Damage and Insurance-Covered Replacements in Schertz
Schertz sits in one of the most active hail corridors in South Texas. Guadalupe County homeowners file insurance claims after significant hail and wind events regularly, and the process is not always as clean as homeowners expect.
Carriers frequently dispute the extent of damage, cite prior wear, or underpay on scopes that do not include all affected components. Mr Nichols all-lines adjuster license means he has been trained by the same system carriers use, and he reviews every claim scope before work begins. If a claim has been denied or underpaid, that does not mean the case is closed.
If you have experienced a storm event and are unsure whether your roof qualifies for a covered replacement, a free inspection is the right first step. We document everything and walk you through what the claim process looks like before any decision is made.
EXCELLENT Based on 166 reviews Posted on Google Adam BroughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re a homeowner in the Dripping Springs area dealing with roof issues — storm damage, a nagging leak, or a full replacement — do yourself a favor and call Altitude Roofing. I don’t write reviews often, but my experience here was genuinely exceptional and I felt like I had to share it. Trust is everything when someone’s working on your home, and Altitude Roofing earned mine immediately. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, everything was upfront and consistent. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons, no runaround — just honest, straightforward communication the whole way through. A lot of that comes down to Mr Nichols, the owner, who handled my project personally. Edwin knows roofing inside and out, and what really set him apart was how he managed the insurance side of things. If you’ve ever tried to navigate a homeowner’s insurance claim for roof damage, you know it can feel completely overwhelming. Edwin took that stress off my plate entirely. He knew exactly how to document the damage, what the insurance company needed to see, and how to communicate with the adjuster to make sure nothing was missed or shortchanged. He was professional, thorough, and clearly had done this many times before. I walked away with a settlement that actually covered the work — and I’m confident I wouldn’t have gotten there on my own. Beyond the insurance process, Edwin is just a pleasure to work with. He answered every question I had in plain English, never made me feel pressured, and gave me his honest recommendation rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear. The fact that he’s the owner and still shows up personally, stays involved, and follows through after the job is done says a lot about the kind of company Altitude Roofing is. The crew was equally impressive — on time, efficient, and they cleaned up completely when they were done. The finished roof looks great and feels solid. I’ve already sent neighbors Edwin’s way, and I’d recommend Altitude Roofing to anyone without hesitation.Posted on Google Tyler DolezalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super helpful and thorough with our inspection. Made a path forward easy to understand.Posted on Google Alex BorellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Altitude after noticing a leak in my roof when it was raining. The owner Edwin took my call and agreed to come check it out as soon as the weather passed as we have a metal roof. Edwin was honest about what repairs were necessary to the roof and chimney and even told me I could do it myself if I wanted to get the supplies from Home Depot but I wanted it done right so I went through with his services. He did a great job and patched everything up for me. Would recommend to anyone in need of roofing repairs or installation.Posted on Google Donald KinseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had them come out to assess a ventilation issue in my attic and couldn't be more impressed. Incredibly knowledgeable, responded fast, and didn't waste my time. They identified the problem quickly and walked me through several options to fix it. No upselling, no runaround, just straight answers and solid solutions. Would highly recommend to anyone needing roofing or ventilation work done right.Posted on Google Eric ChernutaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Edwin with Altitude Roofing come out to service a small leak uncovered during the recent rain. I can highly recommend the company as professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Hopefully we won't need it, but it's nice to know we can call Altitude for further issues. It was also convenient they are close to our neighborhood of Highpoint being close by in Belterra.Posted on Google Aaron SteinmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've called Altitude Roofing out to our new-construction home twice; once for a routine inspection and then a second time after high winds loosened a roof vent. Both times Altitude came out quickly, were straight-forward in their communication, reasonable with their quote, and finished the job promptly. We highly recommend!Posted on Google Craig KnottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Altitude did an amazing job on our roof and went above and beyond, paying close attention to the little details. Roof looks great.Posted on Google Ryan ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a leak coming in through the ceiling and gave Edwin and his team a call. Edwin, himself came out found the problem instantly and fixed. Great services and even gave my son a crash course in roofing. Highly recommend Altitude Roofing!!!Posted on Google J DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 starts for Altitude Roofing. We had a contractor drills holes in our roof for holiday decorations. The minute I realized what happened, I called Altitude. They were quick to show up. Great communication on arrival and on my options to repair. Highly recommend.
