Roof Replacement and Insurance Claims in New Braunfels, TX

Plenty of Texas towns let you swap shingles with no paperwork. New Braunfels is not one of them. The city lists Roofing among its residential permit types, takes applications through its online permit portal, and its homeowner FAQ says plainly that re-roofing needs a permit.

Four local historic landmark districts add a second layer: Mill Street, Downtown, Sophienburg Hill and Stock. Inside them, the Historic Landmark Commission runs design review for exterior alterations and new construction, and that covers a lot of what a roofing crew touches. Our advice is simple. Settle the material and color plan with the commission before you sign with anyone, because a roof replacement in New Braunfels that skips design review can stall halfway through.

Gruene went on the National Register on April 21, 1975, four years before New Braunfels annexed it, and Gruene Hall has stood since 1878. Old buildings near the river carry old problems: tired wood siding, layered roofs, flashing patched more times than anyone can count.

The river is the rest of the story. During the October 17 to 18, 1998 flood, the Guadalupe at New Braunfels peaked at 35.08 feet, part of a storm that killed 31 people across nine counties. Then on June 10, 2010, 7 to 12 inches of rain fell in under 18 hours and swept away homes, businesses and roads around town and Gruene. If water ever reached your walls, water damage restoration for older New Braunfels homes is usually where we start. We check the decking under the shingles while we're up there, too.

Then there's the other New Braunfels. Veramendi is a 2,400-acre ASA Properties master-planned community approved under a 2013 development agreement, planned for 6,000 single-family and multifamily units and at least 480 acres of parkland. New houses, new roofs. But a new roof still takes hail, and a shingle that sheds granules after its first few storms deserves a look before you assume it's fine.

If it isn't fine, our in-house former insurance adjusters take over the claim side. They read the policy, meet your adjuster on the roof and write a scope that matches what's actually up there.
