Roofing in New Braunfels, Texas
New Braunfels is a town where life happens on the water. Float trips on the Guadalupe, cold Comal Springs in August, Canyon Lake on a Saturday, Schlitterbahn any day it's open. You don't move to New Braunfels for the roof. You move here and then you have to take care of one.
New Braunfels has a German heritage that you can still see in Gruene, in Landa Park, and in the street names downtown. The housing mix is distinctive: historic limestone homes in old neighborhoods, sprawling newer subdivisions on the west side toward Canyon Lake, riverside and lakeside properties that need extra attention for storm exposure, and rural ranch properties on the edges of the city. New Braunfels has grown fast, and we work on a lot of 2000s-era tract homes coming due for their first roof replacement.
A Note From the River People
New Braunfels is a two-river town — the Guadalupe and the Comal run right through the heart of it, and the Comal is the shortest river in Texas, flowing just 2.5 miles before it joins the Guadalupe at the confluence. The Comal is fed by Comal Springs, the largest spring in Texas, which pours out of the Balcones Fault Zone and keeps the river cold and running year-round. Canyon Lake sits just west of town, formed by the dam on the upper Guadalupe. Between Schlitterbahn, the rivers, and the lake, water is at the center of life here in a way it isn't in most Texas towns.
What We Do in New Braunfels
3 Rivers Roofing offers a full range of exterior services to homeowners and property owners in New Braunfels. Below is the short version of each — if you want the long version, click through to the dedicated service page.
Roof Replacement
Roof replacement in New Braunfels means doing the job the right way: tear-off down to bare decking, inspect and repair anything rotten or sagging, install the full modern system (synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter strip, field material, ridge vent, ridge cap), and leave the property cleaner than we found it.
Roof Repair
Repair work is the unglamorous side of roofing, and it's where a lot of New Braunfels homeowners get taken advantage of. We do repairs right: honest assessment, written estimate, correct materials, warranty on the workmanship. If your roof doesn't need replacement, we'll tell you that.
Standing Seam Metal
Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting roof you can put on a New Braunfels home. We install both snap-lock and mechanically-seamed (double-crimp) standing seam systems in 24-gauge Galvalume with Kynar 500 finishes that hold their color through decades of Texas sun. A metal roof installed correctly in New Braunfels will likely be the last roof your home ever needs.
Atlas Shingle Roofing
Shingle roofs in New Braunfels don't all have to be created equal. We install Atlas Pinnacle Pristine architectural shingles with HP42 technology, Class 3 impact resistance, a 130 mph wind warranty, and 3M Scotchgard Protector against algae streaks. The full system — not just the shingles — is what makes the difference.
Seamless Gutters
We install custom-formed seamless gutters on New Braunfels homes as a standalone project or alongside roof replacements. Heavy-gauge aluminum, factory-baked color finishes, hidden hangers driven into solid wood, and downspouts sized for the actual roof area — not one-size-fits-all.
James Hardie Siding
James Hardie siding is a long-term upgrade for New Braunfels homes — and when it's installed correctly, it's one of the last exterior updates a home will ever need. We install to Hardie's specification down to the last fastener and finish detail.
We also handle commercial roofing for New Braunfels-area warehouses, retail properties, churches, and multi-family buildings. For New Braunfels property owners and facility managers, we install TPO, modified bitumen, standing seam metal, and commercial shingle systems on warehouses, retail centers, churches, and multi-family buildings. Commercial roofs have different failure modes than residential, and we approach them accordingly.
About New Braunfels — and Why We Love Working Here
New Braunfels has over 44,000 housing units and has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the country. That growth shows up in the roofing work we do — a lot of the subdivisions on the west and north sides of town are hitting roof-replacement age at about the same time.
The New Braunfels economy is anchored by Schlitterbahn, Continental Automotive, McKenna Memorial Hospital, the Christus Santa Rosa system, and New Braunfels ISD. When we work in New Braunfels, we work on homes owned by people who depend on those employers and on the stability of this community — and we approach every job with that in mind.
We're 20 minutes up the road in San Marcos, and New Braunfels is one of our most active service areas. We know the neighborhoods, the HOA requirements, and the permit process here.

Rivers, Roofs, and Why It Matters
Two of our three rivers — the Guadalupe and the Comal's parent waterway — run right through New Braunfels. This town is literally in our name. We know it, we love it, and we bring the same respect to the roofs here that we bring to the rivers that define it.
