Roofers in Helotes, Texas. Local Mammoth care.

Counting the jobs whose address names Helotes, AccuLynx holds 44 job records and 13 finished jobs. Of those, 6 were full roofs, the first in 2021 and the most recent in June 2026, and most of them were insurance jobs. That is a short list next to San Antonio’s, and it is the whole of it.

Our Helotes records began in earnest in 2019, the spring a storm put three-inch hail a mile east of the city, and 2019 still holds more Helotes job records than any year since. The calls since then have come mostly from late spring into fall, in ones and twos rather than in waves.

Every Helotes job in our records carries ZIP 78023, and that ZIP covers far more ground than the city. By the Census, only about 7% of its land lies inside Helotes and about a quarter inside San Antonio, with Grey Forest and a slice of Medina County in the rest. If your mail says Helotes but your house sits outside the city limits, the same Boerne team comes out, and the rules that apply to your roof depend on which side of the line you are on.

Within ten miles of Helotes, the National Weather Service has 19 days of inch-or-larger hail on record since September 18, 2016, and 17 days of damaging wind. Some of the biggest stones in the San Antonio area’s record have fallen close to Helotes. On April 13, 2019, three-inch hail was reported a mile east-northeast of the city, with 1.5 inches a mile to the east-southeast. On May 26, 2025, spotters reported 1.75 inches two miles east of Helotes the same day 4.5-inch stones fell near San Geronimo, seven miles west-northwest, and three inches near Government Canyon.

In between came smaller storms that still hit home: 1.25-inch hail in Helotes and 1.75 inches in Grey Forest on April 28, 2023. Wind has its own entries. A tornado was reported three miles south-southwest of the city on May 24, 2020, and another three miles west of Shavano Park, about five miles east, on July 15, 2026. In the ten years to September 2026, two-inch or larger hail fell within 30 miles of Helotes on 11 days.

Big stones crack shingles; smaller ones leave soft bruises that an inspector finds by hand, and insurers put a time limit on hail claims. The free Roof Grade counts the hits in a test square on every slope and photographs them with the date, and our storm damage repair page explains the claim from there. The Class 4 rating is worth asking about here: the UL 2218 test drops a 2-inch steel ball from 20 feet, the shingle adds a few hundred dollars to a typical roof, and many Texas insurers discount it.

On a typical 2,000 sq ft single-story home, our cost guide puts architectural shingle at roughly $8,000 to $13,000 and standing seam or stone-coated steel at $24,000 to $38,000. The difference between a shingle roof and a metal one on the same house is mostly the material and the labor that goes with it; the measurements are the same.

The things that move a Helotes price are the ones the guide lists everywhere: the size in squares, the pitch, how cut-up the roof is, the penetrations, the decking under the old roof and the ventilation. A storm repair can be small. A pipe boot or a few wind-damaged shingles typically costs $500 or less on our roof repair page, and chimney or wall flashing about $500 to $1,500.

If the damage is wide enough for a claim, the deductible is yours to pay, commonly 1% or 2% of the amount the house is insured for, and no roofer can legally waive it. For a full roof replacement, the free Roof Grade comes first and the quote that follows lists every line, so the number can be checked.
