Helotes is part of our regular San Antonio-metro service area, on the Hill Country edge of the metro. Our Selma shop is about 22 miles from here. That is a short enough run that scheduling is a matter of days, not weeks.
Joshua Holmes personally oversees every job, which is the short version of why the recommendation and the work stay accountable to the same person.
Roofing is the anchor, but the same crew handles siding, gutters, decks, and fences — which matters most at the seams, where a roofer and a siding contractor usually hand the problem back and forth.
Schedule My Inspection
Geography and county lines from the U.S. Census Bureau; hail counts from NOAA’s Storm Events Database. We would rather publish four facts we can source than a page of local color we cannot.
Helotes sits in Bexar County. It lies roughly 22 miles west of our Selma home base.
An incorporated city in Bexar County. Permit rules are set locally and they change, so we confirm the current requirement for your job rather than working from memory.
NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database (hail reports, 2020–2026) lists 86 hail reports within about ten miles of Helotes across 6 of the last seven years, 22 of them an inch and a half or larger. The largest measured 3.00 inches.
Tear-off, decking check, new underlayment, and the shingle tier you pick — under a 15-year workmanship warranty, 20 on metal.
Replacement Options →A top-to-bottom inspection documented with photos — free, no obligation, and honest about what can wait.
What We Check →Siding repair and replacement handled by the same crew that does the roof — so the transitions at the roofline actually line up.
Siding Options →Gutters carry water away from the foundation and the siding. We install and replace systems sized for the roof above them.
Gutter Details →Targeted repair work on a roof that still has life in it — documented first, quoted second, and never sold as a replacement it does not need.
Repair Details →Wind does its damage at the edges — ridge caps, rakes, and the first few courses — and hail does its damage everywhere at once. Both leave a roof that looks fine and is not.
For Helotes specifically: The federal storm record lists 86 hail reports inside a ten-mile radius around Helotes across 6 of the last seven years, 22 of them an inch and a half or larger. The largest measured 3.00 inches. Those are reported events near the city, not damage estimates for any particular house — only getting on your roof answers that.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for an insurance claim. Our part is the roofing part: we document what we find in a written, photographed report and give you our repair estimate. We are not public adjusters and we do not represent you to your insurer — the claim itself stays yours.

15 years on shingle roofs, 20 on metal — plus free annual inspections for up to ten years.
We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours of your call — including a same-day roof check when conditions call for it.
On storm work we photograph and write up the damage and hand you the report. We are roofers, not public adjusters — the claim stays yours and your carrier’s.
Roofing, siding, gutters, decks, and fences run through the same shop, so the seams between trades stop being your problem.
Listed nearest first — Leon Valley is the closest of these to Helotes, about 7 miles away.
We work out of Selma. Helotes sits roughly 22 miles west of the shop — a real drive, and we would rather be straight about it than pretend every address is around the corner. Tell us when works for you and we will tell you honestly when we can be there. For reference, Helotes sits about 12 miles northwest of San Antonio.
Response time is the part we hold ourselves to regardless of distance: a call gets an inspection coordinated inside 24 hours, and a same-day check when the weather makes it urgent.

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database (hail reports, 2020–2026). Reports are point observations logged by spotters and trained observers, so they show where hail was recorded — not the full footprint of any storm, and not a substitute for looking at your own roof. NOAA also revises recent months, so the last stretch of any year tends to undercount.
Answers from Joshua Holmes, Owner — 20+ years in roofing and contracting.
Public storm records log 86 hail reports in the immediate Helotes area across 6 of the last seven years, 22 of them an inch and a half or larger. The largest measured 3.00 inches. That is the public record for the area, and it is the reason we treat a post-storm inspection as routine here rather than optional.
Helotes sits in Bexar County. From the Selma shop it is a 22-mile run.
Then that is what we quote. Small repairs are real work, not a way into a replacement conversation.
It depends on material lead times and the weather more than on our calendar. You get a real start window in writing, not a vague promise.
That is exactly what the inspection answers. We tell you which one we would choose and why, in plain terms, with no pressure in either direction.
You hear about it before it gets covered up. Bad decking gets photographed and priced as a change you approve, not discovered on the final invoice.
Yes — custom decks, deck repair and staining, and cedar fence work all run through the same shop.
It depends on size, material, and weather. You get a specific timeline in the written estimate, before any work begins.
Shingle, metal, tile, flat, TPO membrane, and modified bitumen — residential and commercial.
Yes — cleanup is part of the job, not a line item you get billed for afterwards.
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and by the scope of the job, and they change. We confirm what your specific job needs as part of the inspection rather than guessing from a rule of thumb.
Yes — emergency tarping is part of the storm response, ahead of any decision about the permanent repair.
Both. Residential metal is a real part of what we install, and it carries the longer 20-year workmanship warranty rather than the 15-year shingle term.
The written scope you approved, the workmanship warranty, and the manufacturer’s material documentation for what went on the roof.
