Converse At A Glance
What homeowners in Converse should know
The questions we get most
Converse sits in the Austin to San Antonio corridor, the Interstate 35 growth spine that regional planners expect to forge the two metros into a single Central Texas megaregion, the same path Dallas and Fort Worth followed. The Roof Shepherd documents and serves this whole corridor as one region.
In Converse, roofing permit and inspection rules are set by the city and can vary from one community to the next. Texas has no statewide roofing license, so confirm requirements with Converse’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, permitting and installation are handled through The Roof Shepherd and its vetted partner network.
Roofing Insight
Converse’s three-county span means building permit jurisdiction varies by neighborhood, documented condition records is especially important before any roofing project to avoid cross-jurisdictional complications.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 92 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Converse since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2016, with 13 reports inside the ring.
Exterior & Painting Note
Converse’s newer master-planned subdivisions along FM 3009 include HOA requirements that vary significantly across its three county portions, verify jurisdiction before any exterior painting project.
Common Roofing Issues
Common concerns in Converse mirror the broader Central Texas market: UV-driven granule loss, soft-metal hail impacts on vents and gutters, pipe boot failures, and ventilation issues in aging attic systems. The specific soil and humidity conditions in Guadalupe/Comal/Bexar County add local nuance to each.

Worth Knowing
Converse spans three Texas counties simultaneously, Guadalupe, Comal, and Bexar, one of very few Texas cities operating under three county jurisdictions.
What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. Documentation before any contractor conversation gives you a written record of visible conditions, and protects your position whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.
Local Note
Converse houses a large active-duty military population tied to Randolph Air Force Base in nearby Universal City, creating consistent property turnover and inspection demand.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Converse, 2000-2026. It is not an estimate and not a sales figure. If your roof was under one of these dates, that is a documentation question worth answering.
| Hail events on record | 89 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 27 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.50 in · May 3, 2021 |
| Busiest year | 2016 · 13 events |
| Most common months | April and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 80 mph · July 15, 2007 |

What is different about working on Converse homes
What roofs face in this market
Converse sits in Bexar County, population 27,466. The NOAA Storm Events archive logs 89 hail events within ten miles of Converse since 2000, 27 of them at a size generally associated with roof damage. The largest stone on record measured 4.5 inches. 2016 was the busiest year, with 13 recorded events. Activity concentrates in April and March. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 80 mph on July 15, 2007.
The largest hail recorded near Converse, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| April 3, 2018 | 1.75″ |
| June 2, 1996 | 1.75″ |
| March 21, 2022 | 1.5″ |
| May 12, 2011 | 1.75″ |
If your roof was on the house for any of those dates, that is worth documenting whether or not you ever filed anything. A dated condition record is far easier to produce now than to reconstruct later.
Permits are a Converse question, not a Texas question. Texas has no statewide building code for residential roofing. Each city and county adopts its own, so the threshold that triggers a permit, the fee, and whether a deck inspection is required before cover-up are all set locally in Bexar County. A contractor who cannot tell you which jurisdiction issues your permit, and who pulls it, has not done this here often. We pull it in our own name.

Excellent work. I appreciate David and the crew making repairs needed on the roof and also taking the time to explain and walk me through everything.
Owner Response
J. S., thank you for taking the time to share this. I appreciate you trusting the crew and me with the tile roof repair in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. I’m glad we were able to make the needed roof repairs and walk you through what we found. Clear explanations and communication are a big part of how I try to handle every repair, especially on tile roofs where the details matter. Thank you again for allowing The Roof Shepherd to help with your home.
The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew — fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
David did an amazing job working with us to get our roof repaired during the sale of our home. He was very responsive to communication, knowledgeable, kept to his schedules, and was very easy to work with. If we were keeping the home, I definitely would have hired him for a full roof replacement when the time came. Would definitely recommend using his services.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for the kind review. I really appreciate the opportunity to help with the roof repair during the sale of your home. I know timing, communication, and documentation matter in that situation, so I’m glad I was able to help make the process easier. Your recommendation means a lot, and I wish you all the best with your next chapter.

What Converse, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Converse sits in northeast Bexar County near Randolph AFB and has filled in with newer single-family communities on Central Texas clay. Exterior paint and caulking on these newer builds hold up well early, so the practical focus is trim, soffits, and the seals around windows and flashing as the intense sun ages them.
Sequence Matters
Exterior painting and repair work should follow, not precede, roofing documentation. Condition notes from a roof visit often surface fascia rot, gutter separation, and trim damage that affect painting scope and cost before a single brush stroke is applied.
