Rox Roofing: The Roofing Company Converse Families Call After Hail
If you need a roofing company Converse neighbors can rely on, Rox Roofing is a San Antonio roofer serving homeowners across northeast Bexar County, including the neighboring cities of Live Oak, Universal City and Schertz. We repair hail and wind damage, replace worn-out roofs, install gutters and help homeowners through insurance claims. Every project starts with a free roof inspection and a plain explanation of what we found, with photos you can see for yourself.
Converse has grown fast. The city went from about 8,900 residents in 1990 to 27,466 at the 2020 census, according to the city’s census history. That growth means many homes off FM 78 and FM 1976 still carry their original builder-grade roofs, and those roofs are reaching the age where hail bruising, granule loss and cracked pipe boots turn into leaks. Our job is to tell you honestly whether a repair buys you real years or whether a replacement is the smarter spend.
Hail, Heat and Storm Season: What Converse Roofs Face
Northeast Bexar County sits in one of the most hail-prone parts of Texas. On April 12, 2016, a severe storm crossed north San Antonio and dropped hail as large as 4.5 inches, and the National Weather Service storm summary puts damage estimates from that one storm at around $1.36 billion. Homes across the area were re-roofed in the years that followed, which means a lot of those “new” roofs are now close to a decade old.
Hail is only part of the picture. A typical Converse roof also deals with:
Long, hot summers. Attic heat bakes the underside of the decking, dries out shingle sealant and shortens roof life when ventilation is poor.
Spring and fall storm lines. Straight-line winds lift shingle tabs, especially once the sealant strips have aged.
Short, heavy downpours. Intense rain finds weak flashing, clogged valleys and failing pipe boots quickly.
The City requires every contractor to hold a current City of Converse contractor registration before a permit is issued, and registered contractors must carry a bond. The City also warns that a homeowner who pulls a permit for an unregistered contractor takes on responsibility for any accident or damage. Rox Roofing is registered with the City of Converse, and before you sign with any roofing contractor in Converse, TX, you should ask to see that registration. When a permit is required, Rox Roofing handles the permit paperwork and inspection scheduling as part of the job, so you are not chasing the City yourself.
Confirm Your Home Is Inside City Limits
A 78109 mailing address does not always mean a home is inside Converse city limits. Some 78109 subdivisions sit in unincorporated Bexar County or San Antonio’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, where City of Converse permits do not apply. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address first. For homes inside the city, permitted work gets inspected, and the City offers next-day inspections for requests received before 4:00 PM.
Pull your association’s architectural guidelines. Texas posts HOA management certificates in a searchable state database if you are not sure who manages yours.
Choose your shingle line and color. We supply the manufacturer spec sheet and a color sample for your request.
Submit the request and wait for written approval before tear-off.
File the approval with your permit and warranty paperwork.
Converse Roof Repair, Replacement and Roofing Materials
Most roofing projects in Converse fall into one of three situations: a leak or storm damage that needs a fix, a roof that has reached the end of its life, or an insurance claim that needs documentation. Here is how we handle each one, and the materials we recommend for local homes.
Converse Roof Repair
Converse roof repair work usually means lifted or missing shingles, cracked pipe boots, worn flashing around chimneys and walls, or a small leak that has started staining a ceiling. Our team traces the leak to its source, repairs it, and photographs the finished work. Learn more about our roof repair services.
Roof Replacement in Converse, TX
When hail damage is widespread or a roof is past 20 years old, a roof replacement in Converse, TX is often the better long-term value. We remove the old roof down to the decking, replace damaged wood, and install new underlayment, flashing, ventilation and shingles. See how a full roof replacement works from start to finish.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
After hail or high wind, we document damage with dated photos and a written report you can share with your adjuster. Our storm damage restoration team can also tarp an active leak. The City of Converse Building Division posts a homeowner Claims Handbook worth reading.
Asphalt and Impact-Resistant Shingles
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Converse because they balance cost, appearance and HOA acceptance. Many homeowners step up to impact-resistant Class 4 shingles, which are built to hold up better against hail and may qualify for an insurance discount, depending on your carrier.
Metal and Tile Roofing
Standing seam metal lasts for decades, reflects summer heat and sheds hail well, though it costs more upfront. Explore our standing seam metal roofing options. Tile suits Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes and lasts for generations, but it needs a roof structure built to carry its weight.
What Roof Replacement Costs in Converse, TX
Every roof is priced on its own measurements and condition, so we quote after a free inspection. In the San Antonio area, our asphalt shingle replacement jobs run roughly $4 to $6 per square foot of roof and metal or tile roofs at roughly $8 to $12, with most roof repairs between about $750 and $1,400 or more. The biggest cost drivers are:
Roof size. Roof area runs larger than living space, often by about a third, once you count overhangs and pitch.
Pitch and access. Steep, two-story roofs need more safety equipment and labor time.
Layers and decking. Removing extra shingle layers or rotted decking adds cost.
Material and warranty level. Class 4 shingles, metal and extended warranties cost more upfront.
Converse sits right beside Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, just across Loop 1604, so plenty of Converse homeowners are active-duty families, civilian base employees or military retirees. Military life puts a roof project on a tight clock, so we plan around it:
Scheduling around duty days. We set inspection and install dates around your shifts, TDY travel and deployments.
Remote updates. Photo updates and messages by text and email let a deployed spouse follow the job from anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Converse, TX
These are the questions Converse homeowners ask us most often before a roofing project.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Converse, TX?
If your home is inside Converse city limits, yes. Roofing is on the City of Converse list of projects that typically require a permit, the permit must be tied to a city-registered contractor, and the finished work is inspected. Homes outside city limits follow Bexar County or San Antonio rules instead.
My address says Converse 78109. Does the City of Converse handle my roofing permit?
Not always. The 78109 ZIP code reaches beyond the city boundary, so some homes with a Converse mailing address sit in unincorporated Bexar County or San Antonio’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address before any work is scheduled.
Can Rox Roofing work around a deployment, TDY or PCS move from JBSA-Randolph?
Yes. We schedule around duty hours, send photo updates by text and email so a spouse who is away can follow the job, and can provide a written roof condition report before you list, rent out or buy a home ahead of a move.
My roof made it through the 2016 hailstorm. Should I still have it inspected?
Yes. Hail bruising often takes years to show up as granule loss or leaks, and a roof installed or repaired around 2016 is now nearly a decade old in South Texas heat. A free inspection tells you whether you have new storm damage worth documenting or simply normal aging to plan for.
Does my Converse HOA need to approve a new roof before work starts?
In many subdivisions, yes. Deed restrictions often control shingle style and color, and an architectural committee may need to approve the change in writing. We provide the manufacturer specification sheet and color sample for your request, and we wait for approval before tear-off.

Rox Roofing continues to be my go-to vendor and for good reason! They have now done work on two different homes of mine and their communication and pricing is excellent. Rox gives their customers a good amount of information and options… More during their estimates, and their work is prompt and extremely well done. I would highly recommend this roofing company for anything from small shingle fixes to entire roof replacements.
Rocky and his team were very professional. they provided their initial estimate on my roof leak repair, after my approval, the work was scheduled and completed the same day! Communication was great and pricing was fair and reasonable. Would… More highly recommend Rocky and his team!
Rocky and his team did a wonderful job installing our new metal roof. My husband Ben and I could not be happier with the attention to detail when prepping for the installation as well as the actual installation of the new roof. The metal… More roof is a much needed facelift to the exterior of the house. Thank you, Rocky and team, for doing a fantastic job!
Rox roofing did an outstanding job on our repair and I would highly recommend them - we had a leak due to some spotty work from a past contractor so this repair involved siting, flashing, and shingles. Rey and Jesus did a great job at every… More step and were the perfect mix of friendly and professional - they gave us a breakdown of the cause of the leak along with a detailed explanation of the repair process and what they did to extend the life of our roof. This included detailed before and after pictures. Lastly, they worked with us on the price which was deeply appreciated. We would definitely work again with them in the future.
I ultimately hired Rox Roofing in San Antonio for a full roof replacement after these irregular storms we’ve had this year causing some leaking into my home. They inspected the roof, noticed the areas that needed replacemen, and the whole… More roof was ultimately replaced.
The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Rocky was great and responsive, Jesus was transparent as well and the team that performed the work on my home. They were quick, thorough, and transparent every step of the way, clearly explaining the scope of work as needed, communicating consistently, and showing up as promised. The quality of the work was excellent, and their pricing was very reasonable compared to other companies that quoted significantly higher for such a small roof that is on my home.
Overall, they were easy to work with and made the experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing reliable roofing services in a timely manner and without the hassle with overly-inflated prices. I appreciate too that there a 10 yr workmanship warranty, with a free 1yr inspection with my new roof and affordable inspections after that!
Rox Roofing was extremely responsive during the rainy storm season. They came out right away and provided an estimate, and a temporary fix until the work could be done. This company went beyond the call of duty and made the repairs as soon… More as possible by monitoring the weather and working as soon as the rain stopped for awhile (even on a weekend)! Rox Roofing is and will be one I go to for all my roofing needs. Great company and fantastic job!!
