San Antonio, TX storm damage roofing guide

San Antonio's hail season runs March through early June, with storms typically tracking in off the Hill Country to the north and west of the metro. The city builds to the 2021 IRC, so drip edge at eaves and rakes, starter strip and ice-barrier requirements are all enforceable on a re-roof. Texas has no matching statute, so document shingle discontinuation early if you intend to argue a full slope. Verify starter strip, drip edge and ridge ventilation against the roof in front of you rather than against the estimate.
