From a builder-grade roof in a new subdivision to an older house near Landa Park, a free inspection shows you exactly what your New Braunfels roof needs.
Viva Roofing handles roofing in New Braunfels for homeowners on both ends of the city's history: the older streets around downtown and Gruene, and the subdivisions that keep opening along I-35 and out toward the Hill Country. New Braunfels sits between San Antonio and Austin as the Comal County seat, and calls from here go to our San Antonio-area 210 line.
Growth is the first thing that shapes roofs here. New Braunfels is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and a large share of its homes are new enough that the original roof is still on them. Many went on within the same few years, and the first real test is usually the first serious hailstorm or spring wind that comes off the Hill Country.
Older homes tell a different story. Near the historic downtown and in Gruene, houses may be on their second or third roof, with layers, patches and flashing from different decades. We inspect both kinds the same way: every slope photographed, every photo dated and yours to keep, and a written estimate before any work starts.
A leak on a newer New Braunfels home is often a single failed pipe boot or a lifted ridge shingle, not a worn-out roof. When a repair is the right answer we say so and fix the valley, boot, ridge or flashing that let the water in.
When a roof is done, we tear it off to the decking rather than covering up problems. If we find soft or damaged decking we show it to you and put its cost in writing first, and you can price a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle next to a standard architectural shingle.
Some New Braunfels homeowners, especially on larger lots at the edge of town, ask about metal as an alternative to shingles. We walk through how it compares for your house and include it in the written estimate if it makes sense.
After a hailstorm, before you buy a house in a new subdivision, or when a ceiling spot shows up, the inspection is free. You get dated photos of every slope and a plain explanation of what they show.
Everything else we do is on the services page.
Many New Braunfels neighborhoods are less than a decade or two old, and most of their houses share a similar design: an architectural shingle, a handful of pipe boots and vents, and valleys where two roof planes meet. On a roof like that, trouble tends to start in the same few places, so that is where we look first.
A first roof that has been through Hill Country hail can look fine from the driveway. Hail leaves dark spots where granules are knocked off and soft spots that wear through over time. If you are not sure whether a storm reached your street, call (210) 864-1736 and ask for a free inspection; you will see the photos either way.
The German heritage of New Braunfels shows in its historic downtown and in Gruene, where many homes are much older than anything off the interstate. Older houses often have tired flashing around chimneys and walls, mismatched patches from past repairs, and decking that has seen more than one roof. A tear-off is where all of that comes to light, which is why we put any decking cost in writing before work begins.
Near the Comal and Guadalupe rivers and around Landa Park, big shade trees are part of the appeal. On a roof they drop leaves into valleys, rub shingles in the wind and keep shaded slopes damp longer, so an inspection on these streets includes a careful look at the valleys and the roof edges.
Around San Antonio, more of our work is the replacement of a roof that has simply worn out than a hail claim. That is worth knowing in New Braunfels, where a roof can age out in the Texas heat without one dramatic storm. The inspection tells you which situation you are in.
If there is storm damage and you choose to file, the claim is between you and your insurer. We give you the inspection photos, and if the claim is approved we work from the adjuster's approved scope.
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many valleys, vents and walls it has, the shingle you choose, and whether the decking underneath needs work. Instead of a guess, we give you a free inspection and a written estimate, line by line, for your house.
Texas has no statewide 25 percent roof rule. The rule most people mean is part of Florida's building code. For a New Braunfels roof, repair or replacement is decided by the roof's condition, the city's code and your insurance policy, and our inspection photos show you how much of it is damaged.
Yes. Hail and spring storms do not care how new a roof is, and pipe boots, ridge shingles and valleys can fail early. A free inspection tells you whether there is damage or whether the roof is fine.
A well-installed architectural shingle roof can last many years, but Texas heat, hail and wind all shorten that. Tear-off to the decking, sound flashing and good ventilation help a new roof reach its full life.
Move what you can away from the drip, catch the water, and take photos of the ceiling. Then call our San Antonio-area number for a free inspection; often the cause is a small fix like a pipe boot or flashing.

Mike was responsive and fast. He came back to check on my home after a concerned I had. I got a full roof replacement with class 4 shingles and he answered any questions I had before and after. Now the main part. My roof looks great and he showed me the roof with a drone to show the before and after.
