New Braunfels Roofing Company
New Braunfels sits in the heart of the Hill Country, between the Comal and Guadalupe rivers and right on the I-35 hail corridor. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and the roofs here deal with a hard combination: intense sun, river-corridor humidity, and the spring hailstorms that roll through Comal County almost every year. Texas Star Roofing has worked on roofs across this part of Central Texas for more than 30 years. We are a woman-owned, family-operated company, fully licensed and insured, and we treat your roof the way we would treat our own.
Whether you own a historic home near Gruene or a new build on the north side, if your roof is leaking, aging, or storm-damaged, we will come out, climb up, and tell you exactly what it needs.
A Local Roofer, Not an Out-of-Town Crew
This matters more in New Braunfels than almost anywhere. The city’s growth has pulled in roofing companies from Austin, San Antonio, and farther out, crews that list a New Braunfels phone number but are based an hour away. When a storm hits and you need someone back on your roof, that distance shows.
Texas Star is a Central Texas company that has served this region for over three decades. We know how New Braunfels roofs are built, how they fail, and how the City of New Braunfels handles permits and inspections. When we say we are local, we mean we are the people who actually answer the phone and stand behind the work.
Roofing in the Hill Country and River Corridor
New Braunfels roofs take a specific kind of beating. The Hill Country sun is relentless on south and west slopes, and the humidity off the Comal and Guadalupe rivers speeds up wear on shingles, decking, and flashing. Add the spring hail that tracks the I-35 corridor through Comal County, and you have a climate that ages a roof faster than most of Texas.
We see the same failure patterns here season after season: granule loss and brittle shingles from UV exposure, soft decking and trapped moisture near the river bottoms, and storm bruising that does not show inside the house until a leak appears weeks later. Knowing what to look for in this specific climate is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails again next year.

Storm and Insurance Claim Help
Most major roof work in New Braunfels runs through a homeowner’s insurance claim after a hail or wind event. That process trips people up, and a weak claim can leave thousands of dollars of valid damage unpaid.
We have helped Central Texas homeowners through roof claims for more than 30 years. We document the damage thoroughly, meet your adjuster on the roof when we can, and make sure the scope of work reflects what actually happened. We do not chase storms and we do not pressure you into a claim that is not warranted. We give you a straight assessment and let the roof tell the story.
What New Braunfels Homeowners Should Know Before Hiring a Roofer
Fast-growing markets attract storm-chasing crews that appear after a big hail event and vanish before any warranty matters. A few things worth checking:
- Local track record. Ask how long the company has actually worked in the New Braunfels and Central Texas area. We have been here more than three decades.
- A real local presence. Some companies list a local number but operate out of Austin or beyond. Ask where they are actually based.
- License and insurance. Confirm both. We are fully licensed and insured, and we will show proof without being asked.
- Insurance claim experience. Storm work usually runs through your policy. The right roofer makes that process easier, not harder.
- Who does the work. Some outfits subcontract everything. We stand behind the crews on your roof.
Newer New Braunfels communities like Veramendi, Vintage Oaks, and Mission Hills often carry HOA standards on shingle color and roofline. We help you stay inside those rules so your project does not get flagged later.

The New Braunfels Neighborhoods We Cover
New Braunfels is really several different housing stocks stacked on top of each other, and what your roof needs depends a lot on which one you live in.
Around Gruene and the older streets near Landa Park, we are usually looking at homes that have stood for decades. Those roofs are often on their second or third replacement, and now and then we find layers that should have come off years ago. Out in Vintage Oaks, Copper Ridge and Meyer Ranch, the houses are newer and bigger, with steeper pitches, more valleys, and a lot more surface facing the west sun. Veramendi and Voss Farms are newer still, which usually means the original builder shingle is just now reaching the age where one bad hail day does real damage.
We also cover Solms, Oak Run, Mission Hills Ranch, and addresses outside the city limits in unincorporated Comal County. Southwest of here we handle roofing in Schertz as well, so if you sit anywhere between the two you are comfortably inside our area. And if you are not certain which side of the city line your house falls on, give us the cross streets and we will sort it out before we quote anything.
Hail and Storm Season in New Braunfels
Comal County sits inside the Texas hail belt, and New Braunfels has taken its share. Storm reports in and around the city record stones close to two inches across, roughly hen egg size, and the wider county has seen hail nearer to two and three quarter inches. That is more than enough to bruise or fracture asphalt shingles even when the roof still looks perfectly fine from the driveway.
Our season runs roughly March through June, with the worst of it in spring. That timing matters for two reasons. Damage arrives in a narrow window, so every roofer in town gets slammed at once and the good ones book out fast. And carriers see a wave of claims out of the same few zip codes, which is exactly when thorough documentation becomes the difference between a full settlement and a partial one.
If your roof came through a spring storm and nobody has been up there since, it is worth a look before the next one. Plenty of hail damage does not leak right away. It quietly shortens the life of the roof, and it is far easier to make the case to an adjuster while the storm date is still recent.
Impact resistant shingles, the ones rated Class 4, stand up to this better than standard architectural shingles and often earn a discount on your homeowners premium. Worth asking your carrier about if you are already facing a replacement.
Roofing Permits in New Braunfels and Comal County
New Braunfels requires a permit any time an owner intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, or demolish a building or structure. A re-roof falls squarely inside that language, so a roof replacement inside the city limits needs a permit pulled before the first shingle comes off.
The city does allow you to pull it yourself, provided the house is your homestead and you are not fixing it up to sell within the next twelve months. Most homeowners would rather not spend the afternoon on it, so we handle the application as part of the job. Residential submittals generally get a first response from the Building Division in about ten business days. That is worth knowing before you plan around a start date, especially after a storm when everyone in town is filing at once.
If your house sits outside the city limits in unincorporated Comal County, the rules are not the same. We confirm which jurisdiction your address actually falls under before we schedule the crew, because that answer changes both the paperwork and the timeline.
