Asphalt Shingles, Done Right
The Census Bureau counted 90,403 residents here in 2020 and estimates 122,492 for 2025, a jump of about 35%. Much of the city's housing sits in subdivisions built through the 2000s and 2010s. Many of those homes still carry their first shingle roof, and some may now be reaching the point where patching stops paying off.
Long summers bake south- and west-facing slopes until older shingles curl, crack and shed granules, and spring storms add hail bruises that are hard to see from the yard. Stones recorded in town have mostly been around quarter size, though larger hail has fallen farther west in Comal County. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are an option worth weighing, not something a re-roof requires.
What Gets Done
- Tear-off to bare wood. Each old layer comes up so soft or stained plywood can be found and swapped. Ask for photos of the deck while it's open.
- Architectural or Class 4 shingles. Architectural shingles are the usual step up from older three-tab roofs. Class 4 lines cost more but may qualify for an insurance discount.
- Underlayment and ice barrier. A water-resistant layer sits under the shingles, with extra protection at eaves and valleys.
- Attic ventilation. Ridge and soffit vents let hot, damp air escape, limiting the condensation a long freeze like February 2021 can leave behind.
- Flashing, cleanup and paperwork. New flashing and pipe boots, nails swept from the lawn, and the manufacturer warranty registered in your name.

What to Expect
- Share a few details. Use the estimate form or ring (830) 555-0149. The request goes to one independent roofer who covers your side of town.
- Roof and attic check. The roofer looks over shingles, flashing, vents and decking, photographing anything worth discussing.
- An itemized estimate. Shingle grade, underlayment, vents, flashing, tear-off and decking should each get a line. Read it at home before signing.
- Sign-offs. Send the shingle color to your HOA if it reviews roofs. Within the City of New Braunfels, your roofer should take out the City permit and confirm the specifics with the City. Outside any city, neither Comal nor Guadalupe County showed us a building permit for re-roofing a house.
- Historic homes. In one of the City's four local historic districts, the Certificate of Alteration comes first, though like-for-like shingle work may get staff approval without a Historic Landmark Commission hearing.
Reasons to Ask Here First
- Free, with nothing attached. You pay us nothing and receive nothing for the referral. The roofer may pay us for passing your request along.
- What to check. Liability insurance proof, workers' comp if there are employees, City registration if you live inside city limits, a written contract, and both warranties in writing.
- Deductible offers. In Texas, you pay your own insurance deductible. A roofer who offers to waive, rebate or quietly cover it is breaking state law.
- Signed at the door? A Texas home-solicitation contract of $25 or more can usually be cancelled within three business days, with the deadline falling at midnight.
Frequently Asked
Do Class 4 shingles lower my insurance bill?
Possibly. The Texas Department of Insurance says insurers set their own discounts for impact-resistant roofing, company by company, so there's no standard amount. Call your agent with the product name before ordering, and ask what proof they'll want once it's installed.
Can my HOA stop me from choosing impact-resistant shingles?
Texas property law limits that. An HOA can't ban wind- and hail-resistant shingles that look like the other roofs in the neighborhood, though it can insist on a matching style or color. Get your HOA's approval in writing before work starts.
What if the roofer finds rotten decking?
Damaged boards can't be counted until the old roof is off, so ask before signing how replacement plywood is priced, and request photos of every board swapped out. Then the final bill matches what was actually found under the shingles.
Will the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
No. Your roofer can document what it finds and put a price in writing. The claim itself stays between you and your insurer, and Texas law stops a contractor from representing you on a claim for a property it's working on.
