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
✦ 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!

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.
