Roofing Contractor in Fredericksburg, TX
Roof Repair, Replacement and Maintenance in Gillespie County
Total Foundation & Roofing is a licensed roofing contractor serving Fredericksburg, Texas and Gillespie County. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, roof maintenance and storm damage repair on homes and commercial buildings, working out of our office at 317 Sidney Baker Street in Kerrville — about 25 miles east on TX-16.
Roofs age differently here than they do in the cities. Long summers of direct sun make sealant, pipe boots and flashing brittle years before the shingle field wears out, and hilltop and ridgeline properties around Fredericksburg take more wind than sheltered lots. Hail arrives less often than it does along I-35, but a single event can end a roof’s service life in an afternoon.
Much of Fredericksburg’s older housing stock is limestone and timber built well before modern codes, and those roofs need different handling — matched materials, careful flashing at additions, and framing that was never designed for today’s load standards. We work on them regularly.
Roofing work inside the city requires a permit, and the City of Fredericksburg publishes a dedicated Roofing Applicationthrough its Development Services department. We pull the permit as part of the job.
Roofing Services in Fredericksburg
- Roof repair — leaks, failed flashing, wind-lifted shingles, damaged decking and structural repairs.
- Roof replacement — full tear-off in asphalt shingle, metal or tile, with a written scope before work starts.
- Roof maintenance — scheduled inspections, clearing valleys and gutters, and resealing penetrations before they open. On older Fredericksburg properties this is the difference between a repair and a replacement.
- Roof installation — new construction and additions, working with builders and general contractors across Gillespie County.
- Leak detection and repair — thermal imaging and moisture mapping to find the entry point without opening ceilings to guess.
- Tile roofing — repair and replacement of concrete and clay tile, common on the Hill Country properties built to look the part. Tile needs the framing checked before replacement, because the load is not the same as shingle.
- Metal roofing — standing seam and exposed fastener systems, which hold up better than three-tab shingle against sun and hail.
- Emergency roof repair — active leaks tarped or dry-sealed the same visit, then repaired permanently.
- Roof ventilation — ridge and soffit ventilation, which on an unvented Hill Country attic is often what is cooking the shingles from underneath.
We work throughout Fredericksburg — from the historic streets around Main Street, where a Certificate of Appropriateness applies before any exterior work, to newer construction on the outskirts and rural properties out toward Stonewall and Harper.
Why Fredericksburg Residents Choose Us
- Eighteen years in the Texas Hill Country. Owner Daniel Sowell has worked on Hill Country roofs since 2008. This is not a crew passing through after a storm.
- Historic District experience. Exterior work in Fredericksburg’s Historic District needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a permit is issued. We have been through that process and will tell you what it means for your timeline before you commit.
- Permits handled. The City of Fredericksburg has a dedicated Roofing Application. We pull it.
- Licensed, insured, in-house crews. No subcontracted labor on your roof.
- Roofing and foundation under one company. When a roofline sags we can tell you whether it is framing or the roof following foundation movement underneath — a distinction a roofing-only contractor cannot make.
- Written scopes and free estimates. Photographs of what we found and a written scope before work begins. Request a free estimate.

What They’re Saying About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on historic Fredericksburg homes?
Yes. Fredericksburg has a large stock of nineteenth-century limestone and timber buildings, and their roofs need different handling from modern construction — matched materials, careful flashing where additions meet original structure, and framing that was never built to today’s load standards. We will tell you where a like-for-like repair is possible and where it is not.
Do I need a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace my roof in Fredericksburg?
If your property is in the Historic District or is a designated Landmark, yes — a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for exterior work, and it must be issued before the City will grant a building permit. That includes roof replacement, because the roof is visible from the street. The requirement is administered by the City’s Historic Preservation Officer, and details are published on the City of Fredericksburg permit applications page. Outside the Historic District a standard roofing permit applies. We confirm which applies to your address before quoting, because it changes the timeline.
Are permits required for roofing work in Fredericksburg?
Yes, inside city limits, and the contractor is responsible for pulling it. The City of Fredericksburg publishes a dedicated Roofing Application through its Building Division, which reviews plans and carries out inspections for all properties within the city. Outside city limits in unincorporated Gillespie County the requirements differ, and we confirm which applies to your address before work begins.
Can I get emergency roof repair during a storm?
Yes. We tarp or dry-seal active openings the same visit to keep water out of insulation, drywall and framing, then return to complete a permanent repair matched to your existing roof. Fredericksburg is about 25 miles from our Kerrville office, so response is a drive rather than a dispatch from San Antonio. Call (830) 792-4070 and describe what is happening. See emergency roof repair.
What roofing materials hold up best in Gillespie County?
Once a year for most properties, and after any significant hail or wind event. On older Fredericksburg homes we would suggest twice — spring and autumn — because the failure points on a nineteenth-century roof are flashing, valleys and penetrations rather than the field, and those go quietly. An inspection with photographs also gives you a documented roof history, which matters for an insurance claim or a sale.
How often should a roof be inspected in Fredericksburg?
Once a year for most properties, and after any significant hail or wind event. On older Fredericksburg homes we would suggest twice — spring and autumn — because the failure points on a nineteenth-century roof are flashing, valleys and penetrations rather than the field, and those go quietly. An inspection with photographs also gives you a documented roof history, which matters for an insurance claim or a sale.
How can I tell if I have a foundation problem?
Look for diagonal cracks in interior walls, gaps opening around windows and doors, doors that stick or no longer close square, and uneven floors. Gillespie County’s soils move with moisture, so seasonal shifting is normal and progressive movement is not. Schedule a free inspection if you are seeing several of these together, or read more about foundation repair.
