A New Roof for Your Schertz, TX Home
Schertz grew up around a storekeeper. The Handbook of Texas says the town is named for Sebastian Schertz, who kept a store there in 1875 when the railroad came through. Its post office opened in 1884 under the name Cutoff and switched to Schertz in 1899.
Today the city reaches into Guadalupe, Bexar and Comal counties, and that spread matters on a roof job. Your address decides which offices apply, and some Schertz mailing addresses sit outside city limits. Check whether the house is inside the city, and whether an HOA gets a say.
How Schertz, TX Homes Have Aged
Schertz incorporated in 1958 with 351 residents, according to the Handbook of Texas, and counted 2,281 six years later. The 2020 Census found 42,002 people, and the 2025 estimate is about 45,978. Since nearly every house here postdates 1958, many homes may be on their first or second roof.
About 78.4% of homes are owner-occupied, the median owner-occupied value is $317,100, and households average 2.75 people (Census, 2020–2024). Shingles are the usual choice on family houses like these.
Roofing Help Available in Schertz, TX
- Full replacement. When a roof has simply worn out, the roofer takes off the old layers, checks the decking and builds new from there.
- Storm and wind damage. After a spring storm, a roofer can photograph lifted or missing shingles. The claim itself is yours to file and settle with your insurer.
- Metal roofs. Standing-seam and ribbed panels suit owners who want a long-lasting roof that copes with strong Texas sun.
- Shingle roofs. Architectural and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are both common picks. Class 4 is optional, and any premium credit for it is up to your insurer.
- Repairs. A few lost shingles or one leaking pipe boot can often be fixed without a tear-off.
Schertz homeowners can read up first on full roof replacement, storm and hail damage, metal roofs, shingle roofs and roof repair.
Wind and Hail Around Schertz, TX
The clearest official storm record near Schertz is from April 28, 2021, when NWS Austin/San Antonio said straight-line winds estimated up to 80 mph tore from northeast Bexar County into southwest Comal County. The report names counties rather than towns, but the area around Schertz sits along that path.
Hail here follows a spring pattern, mostly March through June. Most New Braunfels-area hail reports are quarter-size or smaller, but bigger stones have fallen in western Comal County, including golf-ball hail near Bulverde on June 8, 2023 (NOAA Storm Prediction Center).
Permits and Contractor Checks in Schertz, TX
We could not confirm the City of Schertz's re-roof permit rule on an official page, so we won't guess. Call the City of Schertz before work starts and ask whether your job needs a permit and who should apply for it.
The City runs a contractor registration through its online portal, which offers a "Register a Contractor" option and a contractor search. Ask your roofer whether they've done it, then look them up yourself.
Outside city limits, Guadalupe County's Development Center handles septic, floodplain and plats, and Comal County's Engineer's Office covers septic, floodplain and driveways. Neither county, as far as we found, issues a building permit for re-roofing a house, so an HOA or POA sign-off usually comes first.

- Two warranties. The manufacturer's and the roofer's labor warranty in writing, with the manufacturer warranty registered.

Schertz, TX Roof FAQs
Does a re-roof in Schertz need a city permit?
No official City of Schertz page we read settles it, so we don't state a rule. Call the City of Schertz before work starts and ask about your address, and have your roofer confirm who applies if a permit is required.
My house has a Schertz address but sits in Comal County. Who do I ask?
First learn whether the lot is inside Schertz city limits. If it is, the City is your office, whatever the county. If not, Comal County permits septic, floodplain and driveway work only, as far as we found, and your HOA or POA may want to approve the plan.
Did the April 2021 windstorm hit Schertz?
NWS Austin/San Antonio described 80 mph straight-line winds from northeast Bexar County into southwest Comal County on April 28, 2021, but its report doesn't name individual towns. If nobody has checked your roof since then, a roofer's inspection can show whether anything shifted.
Can a roofer offer to cover my insurance deductible?
No. Texas law makes the homeowner responsible for the deductible, and a roofer can't promise to absorb it, pay it or hand any of it back. Treat that offer as a reason to walk away. A roofer can document damage and write an estimate, while the claim stays between you and your insurer.
