New Braunfels sits between San Antonio and Austin on I-35, and it's grown faster than either city in recent years. We've roofed a lot of the newer subdivisions on the north and west sides, as well as historic homes in the downtown core near the Comal and Guadalupe rivers.
New Braunfels neighborhoods we serve
We work across New Braunfels — every street, every neighborhood. Some of the areas we're in most often:
Architecture and roofing in New Braunfels
New Braunfels mixes German heritage architecture (historic downtown), Hill Country contemporary (newer custom homes), and production tract styles (Westpointe and similar subdivisions). Asphalt shingle dominates the tract homes; metal and tile appear more in custom and historic contexts.
Weather considerations for New Braunfels roofs
Comal County gets slightly different weather patterns than Bexar — sometimes avoiding SA hail events while catching ones that miss SA. Proximity to the Balcones Escarpment creates some wind intensification effects on ridge-line homes. Flooding can damage low-lying structures but rarely affects roofing directly.
Cost of a new roof in New Braunfels
Pricing in New Braunfels is similar to San Antonio metro — $10,000–$17,000 for architectural shingle replacement on typical homes, higher for larger custom builds.
What makes our work in New Braunfels different
- Comal County permitting is different from Bexar — we handle it when applicable
- Historic district in downtown has design review — we've worked within it
- New Braunfels growth means a lot of newer homes are hitting 15–20 year age, where first replacement becomes relevant
- I-35 corridor storm patterns — hail events often track this corridor, with New Braunfels taking hits that miss SA proper

What New Braunfels customers say
"Historic property with wood shake conversion to architectural asphalt. Wannamaker handled the Landmark Commission submission, coordinated material selection for historic appropriateness, and installed with period-correct details. Process took longer than a typical replacement but was worth it for the compliance."
"I-35 corridor hail blew through again. Wannamaker had an inspector at our house within 24 hours of the storm, documented damage for the Farmers claim, and handled the supplement for ventilation upgrade that was code-required. Install in 6 weeks even during peak season."
