Hondo, TX
Metal and shingle roof replacement, flat roofing and 24/7 emergency repair for Hondo and the surrounding ranch country. Free estimates and same-day replies from a Medina County roofer.
Hondo is the county seat of Medina County, sitting on US 90 west of Castroville, with the courthouse square, Hondo Creek and the old Hondo airfield as familiar landmarks. Drivers coming into town know it for the famous sign that calls Hondo God's Country.
Homes in Hondo range from older frame houses near downtown to brick ranch homes in the newer neighborhoods, and the land around town is full of farm houses, barns and equipment shops. Metal roofing is a natural fit out here, while shingles remain popular on homes in town.
Alanis Roofing is based in Devine, also in Medina County. Andres Alanis has 26 years in roofing, 13 years with his own crew and more than 500 jobs completed. Estimates are free, replies come the same day, and emergency calls are answered 24/7.
On the open land around Hondo, wind and sun have nothing to slow them down. Metal roofing handles both well: panels resist wind lift when fastened correctly, shed heavy rain fast and reflect more heat than dark shingles.
Alanis Roofing installs standing seam and R-panel metal roofs on homes, barns and shops. Standing seam has hidden fasteners and a clean look for a house, while R-panel is a practical, cost-effective choice for barns and equipment buildings. Colors range from silver galvalume to charcoal, red, bronze and blue.
Many homes in town still have shingle roofs, and in the Texas heat those shingles dry out, curl and lose granules well before they look old from the street. If your roof has had several summers of hard sun or a hail storm, it is worth a closer look.
A shingle replacement from Alanis Roofing includes tearing off the old roofing, checking the deck, new drip edge, new pipe boots and proper ventilation with ridge vents or turbines, then 30-year shingles installed with straight lines and a clean ridge.
Spring storms in Medina County can bring hail and strong wind, and summer storms can drop a lot of rain in a short time. Those short, heavy rains are when worn pipe boots, loose flashing and lifted shingles start leaking.
If you have water coming in, call the 24/7 emergency line and we will help stop the leak first. Once the house is protected, Andres will look at the whole roof and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes sense.
Why Alanis in Hondo
Hondo is about a 30 minute drive from Devine, and both towns are in Medina County. That means quick estimate visits and a crew that can reach you in a storm without crossing half of South Texas.
You work with Andres directly, in English or Spanish. Estimates are free with no visit fee, the job site is kept clean, and payment is cash, check or Zelle.
