Roof Storm Damage in Texas →What is on the record
County record — no city permit
Which county keeps your Comfort record — and why documentation is the only inspection
Your Comfort address answers to Kendall County, and the Kendall Appraisal District values it.
Out here there is no city permit office. Comfort is unincorporated, so no municipal inspector will ever look at your new roof; any permit question runs to Kendall County, and ARP confirms what your address needs before work starts. That is exactly why the record ARP creates — the pre-work photos, the written scope, the registered warranty — stands in for the city inspection you will not get.
Roofing for Your Comfort Home in Unincorporated Kendall County
Comfort is unusual, and it changes how a roof gets done here. ARP serves Comfort as part of our work as a Texas Hill Country roofing contractor. The town was founded by German Freethinkers in 1854 and its residents have voted down incorporation for generations — so Comfort has no city government, no mayor, and no city building department. Your address sits in unincorporated Kendall County, at the junction of I-10, US-87, and SH-27, along Cypress Creek. That is the setting a Comfort roof has to answer to: no city inspector signing off on the work, which puts the burden of doing it right squarely on whoever you hire.
ARP Roofing & Remodeling has completed 5,000-plus roofing projects across Texas and holds 300-plus five-star reviews, and your Comfort roof gets the same discipline behind every one of them: a photo-documented inspection, a written scope, and one project manager who runs your job from the first walkthrough to warranty registration. The volume is the point — not a promise about how close a truck is parked, but thousands of completed roofs of experience showing up on your Comfort home. Homeowners across Kendall County start on our residential roofing menu.
Who You Call for a Permit When Comfort Has No City Hall
This is the first question most Comfort homeowners have, and the answer surprises people: there is no city permit office to call, because there is no city. Your authority is Kendall County. For unincorporated areas, the county generally does not enforce a general residential building code, so a straightforward re-roof on your Comfort home usually does not require a county building permit at all. Kendall County still administers septic, floodplain, and subdivision matters, and the county runs a Fire Code through the Fire Marshal's office — so if your project touches any of those, that is who you check with. The one honest instruction we can give: call Kendall County Permits for your specific address before the tear-off, because the rules turn on where your lot sits, not on the town name.
What "no inspector" really means is that nobody from a government office is going to catch a shortcut on your roof — so the documentation your roofer hands you is the only inspection record that exists. That is exactly why our project manager photographs the deck, the flashing, and every penetration and writes it into a scope you keep, whether a permit applies or not.
Re-Roofing a Home in the Comfort Historic District
Comfort has one of the best-preserved 19th-century business districts in Texas. The Comfort Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and takes in more than 100 buildings dated 1854 to 1954 — several of them designed by the noted Texas architect Alfred Giles — along with the Treue der Union Monument of 1866. If you own one of those homes, you have almost certainly wondered whether you are allowed to re-roof it, and how.
Because Comfort is unincorporated, there is no municipal historic-review board issuing certificates before you can touch the roof — the district's National Register listing is an honorary and preservation designation, not a city permit process. What that leaves you free to decide is the look. A contributing home in the district is usually better served by a roof that keeps its period character, and that is work we are set up for: ARP roll-forms standing-seam and crimped-profile metal on our own equipment, the kind of metal roof that reads correctly on a house built in the 1800s. We will tell you honestly what a period-appropriate roof costs versus a modern shingle, and let you make the call.
Metal, Class 4, and Storm-Ready Roofing in Comfort
Comfort homeowners tend to want one of three systems, and each carries its own details.
What a New Roof Costs in Comfort
A standard architectural asphalt shingle replacement on a typical 2,000 square foot Comfort home runs about $17,600 to $19,200, assuming a full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and cleanup. Class 4 impact-rated shingle and standing-seam metal run higher.
Roof size moves the number as much as material does: architectural shingle runs roughly $13,200 to $28,800 for a 1,500 to 3,000 square foot roof, and the metal range swings with gauge, panel width, and finish. Every figure is a full-system installed price — tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup included — priced August 2026 for the Comfort area, and stated as roof area, not living-space square footage. If the damage on your Comfort roof is storm-related, insurance often covers much of the cost.
Why Comfort Homeowners Choose ARP
The proof is in the volume and in who signs the work: 5,000-plus completed projects, 300-plus five-star reviews, and the credentials behind them — GAF Certified Plus, Atlas PRO+, and an A+ BBB rating. Randal Williams (COO) and his son Preston (President) are the father-and-son team who sign the warranties and still answer the phone in year ten. In a place with no county inspector to catch a shortcut, that written record is not a formality — it is the only inspection your roof gets.

S-04 ResidentialSeamless gutters — formed on site

A roof moves water off the house; the gutters decide where it goes. ARP forms seamless aluminum gutter on site, in one continuous run per roofline, so the only joints on your house are at corners and outlets — the places a gutter is supposed to have them.
Best done with the roof: drip edge, underlayment and gutter apron detailed together by one crew.

Why homeowners choose ARP
What is on the record — and what we will not do.
Comfort homeowners hire ARP for what is on the record. The second column is the part most roofers leave out of the conversation.
On the record
What you get
- 5,000-plus completed Texas projects. The volume behind your roof.
- 300-plus five-star reviews. Homeowner feedback across those projects.
- GAF Certified Plus and Atlas PRO+ certification. Manufacturer credentials ARP holds as a company.
- BBB A+ accreditation. ARP's Better Business Bureau rating.
- A documented process on every roof. Photo-documented inspection, written scope, one project manager start to finish.
- A written workmanship warranty. In writing, so you can hold us to it.
One honest note that protects you
What no roofer can do
- No legitimate roofer can pay or waive your deductible — under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02 that is a crime.
- Under Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 the insured is required to pay the deductible.
- ARP does not act as your adjuster or negotiate your claim — Texas law keeps the roofing contractor and the public adjuster separate.
What ARP does instead: photograph and document the damage the way your carrier needs to see it, and give you a written condition report before you file.
Questions that decide the job
Comfort roofing — frequently asked questions
How much does a new roof cost in Comfort?
+
A standard architectural asphalt shingle replacement on a typical 2,000 square foot Comfort home runs about $17,600 to $19,200, assuming a full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and cleanup. Class 4 impact-rated shingle runs roughly $22,400 to $28,800 and standing-seam metal higher still, depending on size, pitch, and decking condition. If the damage is storm-related, insurance often covers much of the cost.
Who do I call for a roofing permit if Comfort has no city government?
+
You call Kendall County, not a city hall — Comfort is unincorporated and has no city government or city building department. For unincorporated addresses the county generally does not enforce a general residential building code, so a routine re-roof usually does not require a county building permit. The county still handles septic, floodplain, and Fire Code matters, so confirm with Kendall County Permits for your specific address before work starts. Either way, ARP documents the work in a written scope you keep.
Can I re-roof a historic home in the Comfort Historic District?
+
Yes. The Comfort Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1979), but because Comfort is unincorporated there is no city historic-review board that has to approve your roof first. The National Register listing is a preservation and honorary designation, not a municipal permit. Many owners of these 1854–1954 homes choose a period-appropriate standing-seam or crimped metal roof, which ARP roll-forms on its own equipment. We will price a period-correct roof against a modern shingle and let you decide.
Are Class 4 shingles worth it for Texas Hill Country hail near Comfort?
+
For most Comfort homes, yes. Class 4 is the top grade under the UL 2218 impact test, built to survive the hail that turns an ordinary Texas Hill Country roof into an insurance claim. Many carriers give a premium credit for a Class 4 roof, which offsets part of the upgrade over time. See our Class 4 insurance discount page for how the credit works.
Should I choose metal or shingle for my Comfort home?
+
Both work in Comfort — the choice is about how long you plan to stay and the look you want. Standing-seam metal lasts longest and suits historic and Texas Hill Country homes, and ARP roll-forms it on its own equipment with a dedicated metal foreman on the install. Class 4 impact-rated shingle costs less up front and can earn a hail-credit on your policy. We walk your roof and price both so the decision is yours, not the salesperson's.
Does ARP handle storm and hail insurance claims in Comfort?
+
Yes. ARP photographs and documents storm and hail damage on Comfort roofs the way your carrier needs to see it, and you get a written condition report before you file. One honest note that protects you: no legitimate roofer can pay or waive your deductible — waiving it is a crime in Texas under Business & Commerce Code § 27.02, and under Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 the insured is required to pay it. What ARP does not do is act as your adjuster or negotiate the claim — Texas law keeps the roofing contractor and the public adjuster separate, so you and your carrier settle it. See our storm damage repair guide.
