Shingle damage, flashing failures, storm impact — Holmes repairs it on San Antonio homes after a free, no-obligation inspection tells you exactly what your roof needs.
A damaged roof doesn’t always mean a full replacement. Repairs here range from patching one damaged section after a storm to catching up on years of wear across aging shingles, flashing and gutters. Holmes starts every repair call with a free, no-obligation inspection — documented in writing with photos — so you know exactly what’s wrong before anyone talks about the work. If a repair is the right call, we say repair. If the damage is bad enough that replacement makes more sense, we’ll tell you that too and walk you through it.
Joshua Holmes brings 20+ years of roofing and contracting experience to every job — and when a repair calls for new material (a full section re-shingle, for example), we install it to the same standard as a full replacement. Holmes repairs roofs across the San Antonio metro — from Boerne and Bulverde to New Braunfels and Cibolo — out of our Selma, TX home base.

South Texas hail season peaks March through June and can stretch into August, and hail can strip granules or crack shingles on a San Antonio roof. Our free inspection documents exactly what a storm left behind.
Hail Damage Repair →Years of Texas sun fade, crack, and curl shingles — south- and west-facing slopes wear fastest. We repair failing sealant and worn shingle beds before a small problem becomes a leak.
Loose or corroded flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is one of the most common hidden leak sources. We check it as part of every inspection.
Trace The Leak →A branch coming down in a South Texas thunderstorm can crack shingles or split a ridge cap outright. Smaller debris is quieter but not harmless — leaves and twigs packed into a valley hold water against the roof long after the rain stops.
Raccoons and squirrels are a real problem on San Antonio roofs. They dislodge shingles looking for a way in and widen gaps that were already there, usually at the roof edge or around a vent.
No two San Antonio roofs fail the same way, which is why the inspection comes before any quote. Depending on what we find, a repair visit can include:
Whatever the inspection turns up, you get a written scope before any work starts — no surprise add-ons. For larger repair projects, Holmes offers financing through our Synchrony Financial partnership.
We get on the roof rather than reading it from the driveway, and we look at the whole picture: shingle condition — bruising, granule loss, cracking, curling — then ridge and hip caps, then every flashing point, which means chimneys, pipe boots, valleys, skylights and dormers. Soffits, fascia and gutters get checked on the way down.
You get written findings with photographs, both for your own records and because a documented roof is simply easier to make decisions about later. Then you get an honest read: what needs repair now, what can reasonably wait, and whether the roof’s overall condition makes repair the smarter financial move than planning for a replacement. We don’t add services you don’t need.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for an insurance claim, and your written report gives you a dated, photographed record of exactly what we found. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf. Your policy — not state law — sets the terms that matter, so read it and talk to your carrier directly.
What we can tell you is what the roof shows. Fresh, clearly storm-related damage is easier for everyone to read than damage that has been weathering for a season, which is the practical argument for getting an inspection on the calendar soon after a storm rather than months later. If you are paying out of pocket instead, financing is available.
A cracked shingle or a failed flashing joint becomes a leak, and a leak left in place leads to rotted decking, soaked insulation and stained ceilings — each one adding to the eventual bill. In this climate, moisture that gets in during spring hail season has a warm, humid summer to work through.
The practical rule: if you know something happened — a storm rolled through, you found granules in the gutters, there’s a stain on a ceiling — book the inspection within a few weeks, not a few months. Holmes is a Selma-based crew working the San Antonio metro every day, which means we can get to your roof quickly and we’re still here when you need us next season.
It depends on how widespread the damage is and how much life is left in the rest of the roof. A repair makes sense when damage is localized and the roof is otherwise in solid shape. If damage is widespread or the roof is already decades old, we’ll say so plainly and walk you through what a full replacement involves.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for a claim — our free inspection documents exactly what you’ve got. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf.
We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours of your call, with same-day roof checks and tarp-in-24 emergency service available for active leaks anywhere in the San Antonio metro.
We walk the roof top to bottom — shingles, flashing, ridge and hip caps, valleys, and gutters — and give you a written report of what’s fine, what needs attention, and what can wait. Nothing gets added that you don’t need.
Shingle repair and section replacement, flashing repair around chimneys/vents/valleys, ridge and hip cap repair, roof-to-gutter reattachment, and storm-specific repairs — see the full list below.
Sooner is safer. A small gap in flashing or a missing shingle that looks minor today can let water in on the next rain and turn into a bigger, more expensive repair. We coordinate an inspection within 24 hours so you’re not left guessing.
