Boerne's custom homes carry some of the steepest, most cut-up roofs around San Antonio, and every hip, valley and stone wall is a place to inspect.
Viva Roofing provides roofing in Boerne for the kind of house this Hill Country town is known for: a custom home on a large lot, with a steep roof, several hips and valleys, and stone or brick walls that the roof has to meet cleanly. Boerne is the Kendall County seat on I-10 northwest of San Antonio, and calls from here go to our San Antonio-area 210 line.
A simple ranch roof has a few planes and a couple of valleys. A Boerne custom home might have a dozen planes, dormers, a turret or a low-slope section over a porch, plus chimneys and stone parapets. Every one of those joints is flashed, and flashing is where most leaks on complex roofs begin.
That is why a Boerne inspection takes longer than most. We photograph every slope, including the ones you cannot see from the yard, and the photos are dated and yours to keep. Then you get a written estimate line by line before any work starts.
Metal is a familiar look in the Hill Country, and many Boerne homeowners want to know how it would suit a stone or brick house. We talk through how metal compares with shingles on your specific roofline and put both in writing if you want to weigh them.
On a steep, complex Boerne roof, replacement means a full tear-off to the decking so every valley and wall joint gets new flashing. If any decking is soft or damaged we show it to you and put the cost in writing first. A Class 4 impact-resistant shingle can be priced right next to a standard architectural shingle.
A water stain under a complicated roof is often one bad spot: a valley, a pipe boot, a ridge cap or the flashing where the roof meets stone. When a repair is the right answer, that is what we recommend.
Large Boerne homes are hard to judge from the ground, and a lot of the roof is out of sight. The free inspection covers every slope, with photos of anything that needs attention.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Stone and brick exteriors are common in Boerne, and they look great for decades. The roof is the part that moves: shingles expand in the summer heat, flashing ages, and the seal between metal flashing and stone or mortar can open up. Water that gets in there often runs down inside the wall before it shows on a ceiling.
We pay close attention to chimneys, side walls and any spot where a lower roof runs into a taller stone wall, and we photograph the flashing so you can see its condition. If you want those spots checked on your Boerne home, call (210) 864-1736 and ask for a free inspection.
Boerne gets the hail, wind and long hot summers of the Hill Country. Steep slopes shed water quickly, but they take wind differently and are harder to check by eye, so lifted or creased shingles high on a roof can go unnoticed for a long time.
Around San Antonio, more of our work is replacing roofs that have worn out with age and heat than storm claims. If a storm does damage your roof and you decide to file, the claim is between you and your insurer; we provide the inspection photos and, if it is approved, work from the adjuster's approved scope.
Boerne's German heritage shows along historic Main Street, the Hill Country Mile, and the streets near Cibolo Creek, where some homes are far older than the custom builds on the edge of town. On these houses a tear-off can uncover old decking and past repairs, and we show you what we find before any change to the estimate.
Large lots in and around Boerne often come with big trees close to the house. Overhanging limbs scrape shingles in the wind and fill valleys with leaves, and on a steep roof that debris can sit unnoticed in a valley for years. Checking the valleys for debris and the shingles beneath it is part of every inspection we do here, and anything we find goes into the photos and the written estimate.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common, with metal roofing popular in the Hill Country and on rural properties. In Boerne you see both, often on homes with stone or brick walls, and some larger houses combine a steep shingle roof with low-slope sections.
It depends on the roofline, the look you want and your budget. Metal suits many Hill Country homes, while a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle is another option for hail. We can put both in a written estimate so you can compare.
Those joints rely on flashing, and the seal between flashing and stone or mortar can open up as the roof ages. We inspect and photograph that flashing, and often it can be repaired without replacing the roof.
The price comes from the roof's size, steepness, number of hips, valleys and walls, the material you choose and the condition of the decking. A steep, complex roof takes more time and materials than a simple one. Start with a free inspection and written estimate.
That depends on the material, the installation and the weather it sees. Hill Country heat and hail wear shingles over time, and good flashing and a tear-off to sound decking help any new roof last as long as it should.
