Roofing in Leon Valley

Established homes, mature trees, roofs on their second or third cycle

Leon Valley is a small independent city on the Northwest Side, wrapped almost entirely by San Antonio along Bandera Road between Loop 410 and Huebner Road, with Leon Creek running through its middle. It incorporated in the 1950s and most of its housing went up in the two decades that followed: single-storey ranch homes on slab foundations, brick or brick-and-siding, on modest lots that have had sixty years to grow real trees. It is one of the more settled neighbourhoods in Bexar County, and its roofs reflect that.

A house built in Leon Valley in the 1960s has had its roof replaced several times by now. Some of those replacements were done well; some were done by laying a new layer of shingle over the old one, which was common practice for decades and leaves a roof heavier, hotter and harder to inspect. Many homes have flat or low-slope additions — a converted carport, an extended den — roofed differently from the main house, and those transitions are where leaks usually start. When we inspect in Leon Valley we look for layer count, decking condition and the joints between the original roof and the additions, because that is where the surprises live.

It is a compact city and we come out from the rest of San Antonio without any special arrangement. Leon Valley homeowners get the same crew, the same inspection and the same written scope as anyone else in Bexar County.

Hail & Wind in Leon Valley

Hail, wind and overhanging oaks

Leon Valley is squarely in the Northwest Side hail corridor. Storms that form over the Hill Country move southeast through Helotes and Leon Valley before they reach the rest of the city, so this area has been hit by the same events that have re-roofed much of the Northwest Side. On a 1960s roof that has already been through a few cycles, hail finds the weak spots quickly: brittle shingle, aged flashing around a chimney, a cracked boot on a plumbing vent.

The trees change the picture. Mature live oaks and pecans overhanging a roof shade it — which does extend the shingle’s life — but they also drop limbs in a wind storm, fill valleys and gutters with leaves, and keep the north-facing slopes damp enough for algae. A limb that comes down in a storm can punch through decking; a gutter that has been full of pecan leaves for two seasons rots the fascia behind it. Trimming back and keeping the gutters clear is the most useful thing a Leon Valley homeowner can do between roof inspections.

Water is the other consideration. Leon Creek and its floodplain run through the city, and the older lots do not always drain the way a modern subdivision is engineered to. Where the roof sheds is where the water goes, and on a slab foundation that has been in the ground for sixty years, keeping the edges dry matters.

What We Do

What we do for Leon Valley homes

Roof replacement and repair: full tear-off down to the decking, with any rotten decking replaced before new underlayment and shingle go on. Architectural shingle from GAF or Owens Corning, installed as a certified contractor for both, or standing-seam metal if you want a roof that outlasts the next several hail seasons. Low-slope additions get a membrane or metal system suited to the pitch instead of shingle that was never meant to lie that flat.

Gutters sized for a roof that takes a lot of tree litter — larger downspouts, guards where they make sense — and routed so the water leaves the foundation instead of pooling against it.

Siding, soffit, fascia and exterior painting: on homes this age the wood trim at the roof edge is often what has failed first, and replacing it is part of doing the roof properly rather than an add-on.

The Process

How we handle an older Leon Valley roof

  1. 1

    Inspect for what age hides

    Layer count, decking softness, the transitions onto additions, chimney and vent flashing — the places a sixty-year-old house keeps its problems. Photographs of all of it.

  2. 2

    Price the real job

    A written scope that accounts for tear-off of every layer and a per-sheet price for decking replacement, so a rotten section does not turn into a surprise on the day.

  3. 3

    Claims where a storm is the cause

    Hail or wind damage documented to the adjuster’s standard and walked through on the roof with them. Wear from age is not a claim, and we will tell you which is which.

  4. 4

    Build and clean up

    Landscaping and mature trees protected, the old roof hauled off, and a magnet sweep of the yard and drive before the crew leaves.
