Converse borders the northeast side of San Antonio, where the September 11, 2026 hail hit. A free inspection tells you if your roof took damage.
Converse is a Bexar County city with San Antonio on two sides, Live Oak and Universal City to the north, and Randolph Air Force Base across Loop 1604 to the east. Its location puts it right beside the northeast side of San Antonio, where hail fell on September 11, 2026, and many Converse homeowners are now wondering whether their own roofs were part of it.
The town started as a railroad stop in 1877 and grew slowly for a long time, then quickly: about 11,500 people in 2000, about 18,200 in 2010, and almost 27,500 by 2020. That history shows up on the roofs. Older streets like Northampton have brick ranch homes under big oak trees, Cimarron II off Kitty Hawk and Toepperwein Roads has been there about forty years, and newer areas like Copperfield fill out the rest.
Each of those asks something different of an inspection. Under mature trees we look for shingle wear from branches and debris in the valleys; on a forty-year-old house we check what is under the current roof; on a newer one we look mostly for hail marks and wind damage. In every case you get photos of what we find and a plain explanation of what it means.
With the storm so close by, this is where most Converse inspections should start. We check shingles, ridge caps, vents and metal flashing for hail marks from the September storm, and photograph each one so the damage is documented clearly.
Filing a claim is your decision and is between you and your insurance company. Our job is the roof: we give you inspection photos you can share with your insurer, and if the claim is approved we work from your adjuster’s approved scope.
Not every storm visit ends in a new roof. On many Converse homes the right answer is a repair: replacing a handful of damaged shingles, resealing flashing, or swapping a cracked pipe boot before it lets water in.
Older Converse homes under big trees benefit from a look even without a storm, since branches rub shingles and leaves trap water in the valleys. The inspection is free and comes with photos.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Hail damage on asphalt shingles is easy to miss from the ground. It looks like small dark spots where the granules were knocked off, or soft spots that give under a finger. Over time those spots wear through faster than the rest of the roof, and the leak that eventually follows may not appear until long after the storm.
The easiest damage to spot is on metal: dented roof vents, dimpled gutters and dinged window screens. If you see that around your Converse house, the shingles above it deserve a closer look. We inspect, photograph and explain, and you decide what to do next.
Neighborhoods like Northampton are known for their mature oaks, and shade is welcome in a Texas summer. For a roof it is a mixed blessing: overhanging branches scrape shingles in the wind, leaves pile up in valleys and behind chimneys, and shaded slopes stay damp longer. We check all of that as part of the inspection.
On a house that has been reroofed before, we also look at how the last job was done. Layered shingles, mismatched patches and tired flashing are common on older homes, and they change what a repair or replacement involves. The written estimate spells it out before any work starts.
Converse sits right beside Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. If your household is expecting orders, a roof inspection before you sell or rent out the house gives you photos and a written estimate to hand to a buyer or a property manager, rather than a surprise during their inspection.
Converse borders the northeast side of San Antonio, where the storm hit. Whether your own roof was damaged depends on your street and your roof, and a free inspection with photos is the way to find out.
From the ground, look for dents in metal roof vents, gutters and downspouts. On the roof itself, hail leaves dark spots where granules were knocked loose. We inspect and photograph the roof for free so you can see it yourself.
No. You file the claim with your insurer, and the claim is between you and them. We provide the inspection photos, and if the claim is approved we work from your adjuster’s approved scope.
It can be. Branches scrape shingles and leaves collect in valleys, so shaded slopes stay damp longer. We check for that wear during the inspection and photograph anything we find.
Often, yes. If the damage is limited, a repair may be all you need, and we will tell you so. You get a written estimate before any work starts.
