San Marcos is part of our service area, in the Austin–San Antonio corridor. Our Selma shop is about 30 miles from here. Far enough to be a real drive, close enough that it does not change how we work.
Joshua Holmes personally oversees every job, which is the short version of why the recommendation and the work stay accountable to the same person.
Financing through Synchrony is available when a project is large enough to need it, and we will say so plainly rather than build it into a number you did not ask about.

15 years on shingle roofs, 20 on metal — plus free annual inspections for up to ten years.

Listed nearest first — Kyle is the closest of these to San Marcos, about 9 miles away.
We work out of Selma. San Marcos sits roughly 30 miles northeast 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, San Marcos sits about 45 miles northeast 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.
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.
San Marcos’s city limits reach into Caldwell and Guadalupe counties as well as Hays. It lies roughly 30 miles northeast of our Selma home base.
An incorporated city in Hays County. Permit rules are set locally and they change, so we confirm the current requirement for your job rather than working from memory.
San Marcos covers roughly 39 square miles of land, so two addresses in the same city can sit a long way apart — worth knowing when we set a scheduling window.
NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database (hail reports, 2020–2026) lists 38 hail reports within about ten miles of San Marcos across 6 of the last seven years, 16 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 →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 →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 →An undersized or badly hung gutter is a foundation problem waiting to happen. We size and install to the roof’s actual runoff.
Gutter Details →Siding is the shield between your walls and South Texas weather. We repair and replace it, with the quote in writing first.
Siding Options →The expensive version of storm damage is the version nobody looked at. Water gets under the shingle, sits on the decking, and turns a flashing repair into a deck replacement over a couple of seasons.
For San Marcos specifically: The federal storm record lists 38 hail reports inside a ten-mile radius around San Marcos across 6 of the last seven years, 16 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.

Answers from Joshua Holmes, Owner — 20+ years in roofing and contracting.
Public storm records log 38 hail reports in the immediate San Marcos area across 6 of the last seven years, 16 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.
More than one. San Marcos’s city limits reach into Caldwell and Guadalupe counties as well as Hays. It does not change how we inspect or what we charge, but it is worth knowing when paperwork asks.
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.
No. The inspection and the written estimate are both free, whether or not you go ahead.
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.
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. San Marcos is inside our published service area. If you are unsure whether your specific address falls inside it, one call settles it.
Usually yes, after hail or high wind. Damage that has not started leaking yet is easier to address, and easier to document while it is fresh.
Yes — the roofing side of a chimney: flashing, crown and cap work, and the siding on a chimney chase.
The roofing role, and only that: we document the damage in writing, with photos, and give you our repair estimate. Representing you to the insurer is public-adjusting work, which Texas law keeps separate from contracting — be wary of any roofer who offers it.
Sometimes, and sometimes not. We will walk you through what each tier changes for your roof specifically, and say so plainly when the cheaper option is the right call — even when it costs us the upsell.
Yes — emergency tarping is part of the storm response, ahead of any decision about the permanent repair.
Yes — custom decks, deck repair and staining, and cedar fence work all run through the same shop.
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.
