Student housing & apartments
Large multi-building complexes with shingle and low-slope sections. We phase work building by building around move-in dates.
Hays County · 78666 · I-35 between San Antonio and Austin
Outlet centers, student housing, warehouses and downtown storefronts in a college town that never stops building.
San Marcos had 67,553 residents in the 2020 Census and roughly 38,000 students at Texas State University. That mix drives the roofs we see: large apartment and student-housing complexes, retail along I-35 and the outlet centers, and a downtown square of older masonry buildings with flat roofs behind their parapets.
Hays County is also one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, so new warehouses and flex buildings keep going up along TX-123, McCarty Lane and the airport. We handle the first leak on a five-year-old roof and the full replacement on a 30-year-old one.
The building types that make up most of the city’s commercial square footage.
Large multi-building complexes with shingle and low-slope sections. We phase work building by building around move-in dates.
Long single-ply roofs over dozens of tenants. Hail bruising and failed flashings are the common calls.
Masonry storefronts with built-up roofs, internal gutters and parapets that need careful flashing work.
Metal buildings and tilt-wall warehouses along TX-123, McCarty Lane and the airport.
Kitchen grease on the roof softens membranes. We fix it with PVC around the exhaust.
San Marcos sits on the Balcones Escarpment where the Hill Country meets the Blackland Prairie. Storms build fast here and drop a lot of rain.

Students are away until mid-month. The quietest time to inspect housing roofs.

Typical scope · 78666What a typical job looks like here
A typical San Marcos project: eight three-story buildings with worn shingle roofs and a few flat sections over breezeways. The work runs one building at a time between semesters, with daily cleanup and resident notices so leases never notice it.
Plan housing re-roofs for May through mid-August. Once students are back, every day on the roof gets harder.

No. Commercial inspections are free in San Marcos and the rest of Hays County we serve, with photos and a written report.
For flat retail and restaurant roofs, white TPO, with PVC where kitchen grease reaches the roof. For sloped housing, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles hold up best to the hail that moves along I-35.
