Serving Live Oak

Straight Answers for Live Oak Roofs

Live Oak is part of our regular San Antonio-metro service area, on the northeast side of the San Antonio metro. Our Selma shop is about 3 miles from here. That is a short enough run that scheduling is a matter of days, not weeks.

Homeowners here reach us the same way everyone else does — a call, then a free inspection scheduled inside 24 hours. What comes back is a written report with photographs, not a verbal estimate shouted down from a ladder.

The warranty is deliberately boring: fifteen years of workmanship coverage on shingle, twenty on metal, and a free annual inspection every year for up to a decade so nothing quietly goes wrong between now and then.

Local Detail

Live Oak at a Glance

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.

Where it is

Live Oak sits in Bexar County. It lies roughly 3 miles southwest of our Selma home base.

Jurisdiction

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.

Recorded hail

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database (hail reports, 2020–2026) lists 42 hail reports within about ten miles of Live Oak across 6 of the last seven years, 11 of them an inch and a half or larger. The largest measured 2.00 inches.

What We Handle

Live Oak Service Menu

Siding

Siding repair and replacement handled by the same crew that does the roof — so the transitions at the roofline actually line up.

Siding Options →

Roof Inspections

The inspection is free whether it ends in work or not — buying, selling, or just after a bad night of weather.

Tear-off, decking check, new underlayment, and the shingle tier you pick — under a 15-year workmanship warranty, 20 on metal.

Replacement Options →

Hail & Storm Damage

Storm or hail damage often qualifies for an insurance claim. Our inspection documents what is there, in writing, so you have the evidence in hand.

Storm Damage Help →

Roof Repair

Leaks usually start at a detail rather than out in the open field of a roof — flashing, a boot, a few damaged courses. We trace the actual source instead of blanketing the roof in sealant.

Hail and Storm Damage in Live Oak

The damage that matters after a storm is rarely the damage you can see from the driveway. Granule loss, split shingles, and dented flashing all read as a normal-looking roof from below.

For Live Oak specifically: The federal storm record lists 42 hail reports inside a ten-mile radius around Live Oak across 6 of the last seven years, 11 of them an inch and a half or larger. The largest measured 2.00 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.

Live Oak Roofing FAQ

Live Oak Roofing Questions

Answers from Joshua Holmes, Owner — 20+ years in roofing and contracting.

Does Live Oak actually get enough hail to worry about?

Public storm records log 42 hail reports in the immediate Live Oak area across 6 of the last seven years, 11 of them an inch and a half or larger. The largest measured 2.00 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.

Which county is Live Oak in?

Live Oak sits in Bexar County. From the Selma shop it is a 3-mile run.

Do you handle chimney flashing?

Yes — the roofing side of a chimney: flashing, crown and cap work, and the siding on a chimney chase.

How long does a typical job take?

It depends on size, material, and weather. You get a specific timeline in the written estimate, before any work begins.

How fast can you get out here after a storm?

We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours, and we will do a same-day check when conditions make it urgent.

What happens if you find rotten decking during a tear-off?

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.

What sort of thing usually turns up on an inspection?

Often it is the details rather than the field of the roof — flashing, pipe boots, sealant that has gone brittle. Those are the ones worth catching while they are still the only problem.

How soon can you start once I approve the estimate?

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.

Will my insurance cover the repair?

Storm and hail damage often qualifies, but every policy differs. We document what we find with photos and a written report; the decision to file, and the claim itself, stay yours.

Who is actually on my roof?

Joshua Holmes personally oversees every job. This is an owner-operated shop, so the person accountable for the recommendation is the person accountable for the work.

Do you do commercial buildings?

Yes. Flat, TPO, and modified-bitumen systems on commercial properties are an active part of the business, not a sideline.

Can you match existing shingles for a partial repair?

Often, though a weathered roof and a fresh bundle rarely look identical, and we will tell you honestly when a patch is going to be visible from the street.
