Schertz At A Glance
What homeowners in Schertz should know
The questions we get most
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.
In Schertz, 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 Schertz’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, The Roof Shepherd manages the whole project, from the contract and materials to the crew, the final walkthrough, and your written workmanship warranty.
Roofing Insight
Permit rules are set by the city, and an address near a city or county line can fall under a different office. Confirm which one covers yours before any roofing project; a documented condition record matters either way.
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
The common problems in Schertz are the same as across Central Texas. Sun wears off granules. Hail dents vents and gutters. Pipe boots fail. Older attics vent poorly. The specific soil and humidity conditions in Guadalupe/Comal/Bexar County add local nuance to each.
Schertz Snapshot
Weather history & local facts
Hail and wind on record here
Schertz’s verified NOAA record since 2018 includes 1.5 inch hail at Cibolo Kardys Airport on March 21, 2022, 1.25 inch hail in Schertz on June 8, 2023, and 1 inch hail in Schertz on April 13, 2018. 20 thunderstorm wind events and 1 tornado report sit inside the same 10 mile window. Peak hail months here: March and April. Across Bexar County as a whole, NOAA logged 294 hail events from 2016 through 2025, with hail to 5.5 inches, plus 95 damaging thunderstorm wind events and 5 tornado reports.
Worth Knowing
Schertz 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
Schertz houses a large active-duty military population tied to Randolph Air Force Base in nearby Universal City, creating consistent property turnover and inspection demand.

What has actually fallen on Schertz
Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Schertz, 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 | 53 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 6 |
| Largest stone recorded | 2.50 in · May 2, 2006 |
| Busiest year | 2022 · 10 events |
| Most common months | April and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · May 2, 2006 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 140 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | none of 1 in or larger on file |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Guadalupe County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Schertz centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked September 7, 2026 against two feeds that do not share the archive's bias: radar hail signatures from the NEXRAD hail detection algorithm (NOAA NCEI Severe Weather Data Inventory, same 10 mile radius, 2000-2026), counted as days with a signature of one inch or larger, and the Storm Prediction Center's preliminary reports for the last 12 months, which are unreviewed and never a competing total. A radar day and a reported event are different units and are not expected to match: the archive needs a witness and undercounts, radar needs none and can flag hail that melted before it landed. What fell on one roof is settled by a documented inspection, not by any of these counts.

Each row counts the hail reports of one inch or larger within ten miles of Schertz, from the National Weather Service archive. 27 reports from 2006 to 2025, 2 of them at or above the 1.75-inch severe threshold. Counting only stones of one inch or larger, the busiest year in this table was 2022. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, U.S. Census, and Texas Department of Insurance records and contemporaneous reporting. Not a formal risk assessment.
Live NOAA record Since August 2024, NOAA has logged 5 hail reports within 10 miles of Schertz, 1 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.75 inches on September 11, 2026, about 7.4 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 1 time in the same period, most recently 65 mph on May 2, 2025. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering August 13, 2024 to September 11, 2026. A report near a property confirms hail fell nearby. It does not confirm that any particular roof was damaged, and it is not a coverage determination.
About Schertz
Local ground truth for Schertz properties
Schertz sits in Guadalupe County in Central Texas, home to roughly 44,428 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 30 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 2.5″ on May 2, 2006.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Schertz are likely to be
When the houses went up
Schertz has 16,175 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2001. 46 percent were built before 2000 and 29 percent before 1990; 27 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 46 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 27 in 100 were built since 2010 and are on a first roof. Roof age is the first thing an inspection establishes, because the two groups have different questions.

Local Conditions
What is different about working on Schertz homes
What roofs face in this market
Schertz sits in Guadalupe County, population 44,428. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 53 hail reports within ten miles of Schertz from 2000 to 2026, 6 of them at or above the 1.75 inch severe threshold, the size generally associated with roof damage. The largest stone in that record measured 2.5 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2022 was the busiest year in that record, with 10 reports. Activity concentrates in April and March. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on May 2, 2006.
The largest hail recorded near Schertz, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| April 12, 2016 | 2.0″ |
| May 2, 2006 | 2.5″ |
| May 4, 2000 | 1.75″ |
| March 16, 2000 | 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 Schertz 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 Guadalupe 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.

Exterior & Painting
What Schertz homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
, and HOAs carry strict exterior approval requirements including pre-approved roofing materials and color palettes, confirm current requirements before any replacement.
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. Get the roof documented first. Painting and exterior repairs come after. 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.
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.
