Roofing Contractor in Comfort, TX
Local Solutions for Comfort’s Unique Terrain & Homes
Total Foundation & Roofing is a licensed roofing contractor serving Comfort, Texas and western Kendall County. We handle roof leak repair, roof repair and roof replacement on homes and commercial buildings, working from our office at 317 Sidney Baker Street in Kerrville — about 25 minutes west along TX-27.
Comfort’s older housing stock is largely nineteenth-century limestone and timber, and those roofs fail differently from modern construction. The problems show up at flashing, valleys and penetrations rather than across the shingle field, which is why leaks here often appear long before the roof itself is worn out. Long Hill Country summers make sealant and pipe boots brittle, and exposed ridgeline properties take more wind than the valley floor.
Comfort is an unincorporated community, so unlike Kerrville or Fredericksburg there is usually no city roofing permit to pull. Development in unincorporated Kendall County is handled by the Kendall County Engineer’s Office in Boerne, and we confirm what applies to your address before starting.

What They’re Saying About Us
✦ What roofing customers say
Roofing customers across Google, Yelp and BBB most often say Total Foundation & Roofing returns calls and shows up when promised, sometimes after other roofers never called back. Reviewers describe honest roof inspections, including advice to repair a roof instead of replacing it when that costs less, and hail and wind replacements finished in a day or two with careful cleanup. Daniel, Tyler and the crews are praised for professional work on shingle, metal and standing seam roofs, and several homeowners mention help with insurance claims and hiring the company again for later roofs.
AI-generated summary of customer reviews, updated October 8, 2026.
Very responsive to leaking roof when others would not even return a phone call. Replaced entire roof previously installed by inferior contractor. Work crew was professional, timely, responsive to requests and maintained a clean job site. Would definitely hire again.
What a breath of fresh air it is to have somebody return a call and set up an appointment and then to have them show! It was a pleasure doing business with Dan and Total F & R. He came, he gave full explanations, did the work, and was very nice to deal with. And promptly, may I add. We will use him for any future roofing needs we have and will pass his name on to others. Thank you Dan!
The incredible downpours experienced in Kerrville last week were the source of a very peculiar leak that developed in our roof. Over three days of nearly continuous rain that saw well over a foot accumulate in our rain gauge, this leak was active for less…

…than 10 minutes and delivered much less than a cup of water. In response to our call, Tyler performed a thorough inspection of the relevant portion of the roof, quickly eliminating possibilities such as missing or loose shingles and damaged vents. It was the short duration of the leak that led him to the problem: a seal that was more than good enough most of the time, but that was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of water involved. A complex joint had been sealed with grout when the roof was installed, but no special care had been taken to make sure the grout was well spread out over the surfaces on either side of the joint. Although years of exposure to the Hill Country climate had degraded the seal somewhat, it was still good enough to handle normal rainfalls, but this storm was far from normal. Tyler quickly applied new grout and made sure it was well engaged with the surfaces next to the joint. This is typical of our experiences with Tyler and Total Foundation and Roofing. If your roof needs to be replaced, he will do it, efficiently and economically. But if he can repair your roof more economically he will do that rather than replace it. He did that for us on a previous home. After a hail event we asked three roofers to view the damage and recommend a course of action. The other two said "replace the roof". Tyler told us there were a dozen or so discrete spots that need repairs, but that could be done for much less than the cost of replacement. He got the job. You can rely on Tyler to provide the best, most economical solution for you.
Daniel and his crew at Total Foundation and Roofing repaired our family’s foundation 6 years ago, and now after a hail storm, they were able to come back and give us a new, upgraded metal roof! They are so professional, and have really taken good care of us both times they have worked for us. Our vintage home is standing sturdy and looks great! Thanks again!

…gutters, were top notch. It’s a messy job but there again, at the end of each day they left the place clean, ready for the next day. It required coordinating with the plaster team and that was done well too.
We would highly recommend them. I think it speaks volumes for Daniel and his team that many of his workers have been with him for 10+ years!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Comfort?
Usually not for roofing. Comfort is an unincorporated community rather than an incorporated city, so there is no city building department issuing roofing permits — unlike Kerrville or Fredericksburg, where a permit is required. Development in unincorporated Kendall County is administered by the Kendall County Engineer’s Office in Boerne, which handles development permits, septic, 911 addressing and floodplain rather than routine building inspection. If your property sits near the Boerne city limits or its extraterritorial jurisdiction the rules can differ, so we confirm what applies to your address before quoting.
Do you work on older limestone and timber homes in Comfort?
Yes. A lot of Comfort’s housing stock is nineteenth-century limestone and timber, and those 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 works and where it does not.
How fast can you respond to storm damage?
Our emergency roofing services are available 24/7 throughout Kendall County.
What signs should I look for to catch foundation problems early?
Watch for doors that won’t close, diagonal wall cracks, or gaps in flooring. Schedule a free inspection to confirm.
Do I need a permit for foundation or roofing work in Comfort?
Yes. We inspect the full roof, photograph and document the damage, and provide a written scope you can submit to your insurer. We can be on site during the adjuster’s inspection so nothing gets missed. The claim itself is between you and your insurance company — we provide the evidence and do the repair.
Which roofing materials are best for Comfort homes?
We recommend metal roofing or hail-rated shingles to handle local storm conditions.
Do historic district rules affect roofing in Comfort?
For most properties, no — and this is where Comfort differs from Fredericksburg. The Comfort Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and covers roughly 192 acres, taking in over 100 buildings from 1854 through 1954. Federal listing is a recognition rather than a regulation: it carries no regulatory oversight of what an owner does to their own building.
Fredericksburg is different. It has a local historic district ordinance requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work, roof replacement included. If you have heard about those rules and assumed they apply in Comfort, for most properties they do not.
There is one exception worth knowing. Some individual buildings in Comfort carry state designations on top of the district listing — Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks and State Antiquities Landmarks. Those do come with review requirements from the Texas Historical Commission before exterior alterations. The Otto Brinkmann House on High Street is one example. If your property has a state marker, tell us before we quote and we will confirm what applies.
What these buildings all still need is matched materials and careful flashing detail. Limestone and timber construction from the 1800s does not behave like a modern roof, and the failure points are flashing, valleys and penetrations rather than the shingle field.
