Which county, which appraisal district, and how Converse permits your roof

Inside the city, your roof answers to one office. The Converse Building Department, at 406 S Seguin Road, works from the adopted International codes.
Roof Replacement & Repair in Converse
Converse incorporated in 1961 and nearly tripled from 11,508 people in 2000 to 27,466 by 2020 — one of the metro's fastest-growing suburbs. Neighborhoods range from 1970s–90s ranch and brick homes in areas like Country Club and Woodlake to mid-2010s-and-newer construction along the FM 1516 corridor. Our roofers run replacement, repair, and maintenance through the San Antonio residential team, matching the scope to your home's actual age.
The full process is on our residential roofing in Texas page; when your fix is smaller, San Antonio roof repair is the first step.
A UL 2218 Class 4 shingle costs only the material difference on your replacement, and many Texas carriers discount your premium for it in this hail-prone corridor. Compare roof replacement with metal roofing, or read the Class 4 guide.
Hail Damage & Insurance Claims in Converse
Converse sits on the northeast Bexar hail track. The April 12, 2016 storm ran east through the area — softball-size hail fell in neighboring Kirby, where it collapsed an apartment roof — as part of a storm that caused an estimated $1.36 billion in insured losses, the costliest hailstorm in Texas history at the time. If anyone offers to "take care of your deductible," walk away: under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02 that's a crime, and Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 requires you to pay it.
We photograph, measure, and write your scope in Xactimate — the platform your carrier's adjuster uses — then meet the adjuster on your roof. Hail bruises the shingle mat before it leaks, so get documented within the week even if the ceilings look fine. Start at storm damage repair or read the roof insurance claims process.
Seamless Gutters in Converse
Newer Converse subdivisions often ship with the minimum gutter, undersized for a Texas downpour. We pair most reroofs with seamless gutters cut on-site to your fascia in one continuous run, so the new roof drains where you want it — away from the foundation.
Do You Need a Roof Permit in Converse?
Yes — and this one matters for your timeline: Converse roofing permits go through plan review, with comments typically within about three weeks. That's a real reason to hire a contractor who files early instead of after the crew is booked. Permits run through the SmartGov portal, from the Building Department at 406 S Seguin Road, and contractors must be registered before any permit is issued — general contractors post a $5,000 surety bond. We file early, carry the registration, and schedule inspections so plan review never becomes your delay.
Why Converse Roofs Are Different
A fast-growing northeast Bexar suburb where the city runs roofing through plan review — a slower, more deliberate permit path than most nearby cities — and where the 2016 hail hit hard just next door in Kirby. Home to Judson High School and built up mostly since the 1980s, Converse rewards a roofer who knows the SmartGov process and files your permit ahead of the crew.
Streets & Neighborhoods We Serve
Wherever your home sits in Converse — the established neighborhoods like Country Club and Woodlake, the newer construction along the FM 1516 corridor, or the streets near City Park and North Park — you're in our service area. The city borders Live Oak and Universal City to the north, Schertz to the southeast, and San Antonio to the south and west; nearby Kirby shares the FM 78 corridor and Judson ISD.

“THANK YOU ARP ROOFING 😊!! A+++ Cheryl (intake operator) Travis (inspector, kind, and informative) Jackie & Valerie (powerhouse girls in the office), Juan (supv. Gutters), Armando (site foreman). Your honesty and compassion, exceptional quality work and team are the best I've ever worked with!! My family and home have been treated with love and respect and my roof looks BEAUTIFUL 😍!! Bonus the roof you recommend Travis, has given me a $900.00 annual reduction in my home owners insurance 🤗. Being vulnerable and taken advantage of by the previous roofer left me on shaky ground. You all went above and beyond being available in answering my many questions and concerns. We all fall short and make poor decisions. I pray this review prevents that from happening for you, I urge you to call ARP and meet with TRAVIS. GRATEFUL 🙏 ♥️!!!! Dena 🤗”

Why homeowners choose ARP
What is on the record — and what we will not do.
We're a great fit if you want the permit filed early and the job documented from inspection to warranty. We're probably not your roofer if you want a quick sub-$500 fix or you're going with the cheapest number on the table. That's an honest answer, not a runaround.
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
Converse roofing — frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Converse?
+
Yes — and Converse roofing permits go through plan review, with comments typically within about three weeks, filed through the SmartGov portal from the Building Department at 406 S Seguin Road. Contractors must register before any permit is issued. We file early and carry the registration, so plan review never delays your job.
Why does Converse take longer on permits than other cities?
+
Converse routes roofing permits through plan review rather than same-day issuance, so comments can take around three weeks. It's a more deliberate process — which is exactly why filing early matters. We start your permit at the front of the job, not after scheduling the crew, so the review runs in parallel with everything else.
Did the 2016 hailstorm hit Converse?
+
The April 12, 2016 storm ran east across northeast Bexar County — softball-size hail fell in neighboring Kirby, collapsing an apartment roof, as part of a storm that caused an estimated $1.36 billion in insured losses, the costliest hailstorm in Texas history at the time. If your Converse roof predates that storm without a documented inspection since, schedule one.
What does a roof replacement cost in Converse?
+
A standard architectural shingle replacement in the San Antonio metro runs $17,600 to $19,200 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home — about 3,200 sq ft of actual roof — including tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ridge vent, permit, and inspection. Your larger home scales up. Pricing updated April 2026 for the San Antonio metro.
My Converse home is newer — why would I need a roofer already?
+
Because nobody independent has looked at your roof. Builder installs happen at production speed, and the shingle was chosen for the price point, not the hail belt. A documented baseline inspection now costs nothing, gives you a record for warranty and insurance purposes, and tells you exactly what you're working with before the next storm tests it.
