The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition; permitting and installation stay with the contractor you choose.
Schertz At A Glance
What homeowners in Schertz should know
Schertz 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.
Roofing Insight
Schertz’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 55 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Schertz since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2022, with 10 reports inside the ring.
Exterior & Painting Note
Schertz’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 Schertz 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.

Sequence Matters
Schertz’s master-planned communities built 2010 to 2024 typically carry 10 to 15 year manufacturer warranties on roofing systems, storm documentation before the warranty period expires protects the homeowner’s position in any warranty claim. 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.

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.
I recently got a roof installed and my trim painted with this company. The process was simple — David helped me pick out colors for the roof, and I had no idea there were so many to choose from. I appreciate David and his crew for taking care of my home and respecting my property by making sure everything was masked and cleaned up by the end of the process. These guys were on time, efficient, took care of everything I asked for, kept me updated throughout, and took care of the small details I was picky about. I would highly recommend!
Owner Response
Sloan, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It was a pleasure helping with your roof installation, trim painting, and the color-selection process. I’m glad the process felt simple and that the crew respected your property with proper masking, cleanup, and communication throughout the project. Those details matter, especially when we are working on someone’s home. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and painting work.
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.
