If you are here, one of these is probably true
Why most roof inspections in Live Oak are worth nothing
The last inspection happened from the driveway
Hail bruising does not show from the ground, and neither does a lifted flashing or a cracked pipe boot. If nobody got on the roof, you did not get an inspection — you got a sales call.
You suspect they only find what they can sell
An inspector paid by commission has an obvious incentive. Ours is a flat report of what is on the roof, and a fair share of our inspections end with us telling a homeowner to spend nothing this year.
The second roof is now the problem
A 1985 Live Oak home has almost certainly been re-roofed once. How well that replacement was flashed and vented matters far more today than anything the original builder did.
Layer-overs that have to come off
Roofing over an existing layer was normal practice for decades here. It has to be removed before anything can be done properly — and that changes the scope of the job.
Rusted turbine bases
Turbines are common in this stock, and they fail at the flange long before they stop spinning. The leak shows up in the attic, not the ceiling.
Mature limbs sanding the north slope
Established trees mean constant contact on the shaded planes. Granule loss on one side of the roof and not the other is the tell.
An inspection you cannot check is not evidence. You get the photographs, the dated report and the reasoning, so a second opinion is something you are able to get rather than something you have to take on faith.

Hands down the best ever service I have ever experienced with a San Antonio business! Mike was excellent! Mike explained the process of repair on my roof, followed up with an email addressing who would do the repairs and 3 days later a technician showed up!

Storm damage is its own problem — and its own process
Live Oak sits on the northeast side, the other half of the area that took the worst of the 12 April 2016 hailstorm — the costliest hail event in Texas history at roughly $1.4 billion in insured losses, with stones up to four and a half inches. That storm and the wider 2016 season, which pushed statewide Texas hail losses past $5 billion, put new roofs on a very large share of the housing out here. Many of those roofs are now approaching a decade old.

Repair it, replace it, claim it, or leave it alone. If the roof is fine we write that down too, and you keep the report either way.
→ We walk the finished roof with you
What our roof inspection covers

On the ground
What we actually see on Live Oak roofs
Every part of this metro has its own failure pattern. These are the ones that come up again and again on this side of town.
Second-generation roofs on 1970s–1990s stock, where the first replacement is now the problem
Layer-overs from earlier decades that have to come off before anything else can happen
Turbine vents rusted at the base and leaking around the flange
Mature tree limbs abrading shingles along the north-facing planes
A 1985 Live Oak home has almost certainly been re-roofed once already. How well that replacement was flashed and vented matters more now than the original build ever did.
Serving Live Oak
What roof inspection in Live Oak actually involves
Live Oak sits in Bexar County, and we work across ZIP codes 78233. Our crews are in Live Oak regularly — we are a San Antonio company, not an out-of-state outfit that showed up after the last hail event.
A lot of Live Oak was developed between the 1970s and 1990s. Roofs in that stock have usually been replaced at least once, and what matters now is how well that replacement was flashed and ventilated.
We regularly work in Woodcrest, Live Oak Hills, Falcon Ridge, Royal Ridge and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once a year, and after any hail or high-wind event that hits your area. Texas insurance policies also carry deadlines for reporting storm damage, so an inspection soon after a storm protects the option to claim even if you choose not to use it.
Live Oak requires a permit before any work begins, including roof replacement. The Permits and Inspections office is at 8001 Shin Oak Drive, inside the fire station. Bondoc Roofing pulls the permit and schedules the inspections as part of the job.
Yes. A general home inspector reports the roof as one line item; we give you remaining service life, what it will cost when it goes, and whether there is unclaimed storm damage on it — all things that matter while the price is still being negotiated.
Most Live Oak inspections are booked within 48 hours. Emergency and storm response is available 24/7 — if water is actively coming into the house, call (210) 896-3209 rather than filling in the form.
Yes. We document every impact point with photographs, meet your adjuster on the roof, and scope the repair or replacement to what the claim actually covers. Storm work is a large part of what we do in this market.
At Bondoc Roofing, we only hire fully trained, licensed, and insured roofing contractors, so you can rest assured that your roof repairs are being handled by experts. Our roofing technicians will arrive on time, ready to assess your roof, and plan on working on it as soon as possible.
Many neighbourhoods here have architectural rules covering shingle colour and material, and some require approval before work starts. We will tell you whether yours does and work to the approved colour list — it is a common reason a roof has to be redone at the contractor’s expense.
Texas policies generally give you a limited window from the date of loss, and the exact deadline is in your policy — not something a roofer should guess at. The practical advice is not to wait: the longer the gap between the storm and the inspection, the harder the claim is to substantiate.
Roofing runs year-round here. The busiest stretch is the weeks after a spring hail event, when every crew in the metro is booked and out-of-state crews arrive. Late autumn and winter usually mean shorter lead times and the same workmanship.
