Winter in South Texas may not look like winter up north, but make no mistake, colder temperatures, freezing rain, overnight ice, and even the occasional snowfall can all take a serious toll on your home. Whether you live in San Antonio, New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, Seguin, Boerne, Stone Oak, Bulverde, Canyon Lake, or Spring Branch, or the surrounding areas, preparing your home before winter arrives can save you thousands in repairs and help lower your energy costs.
At Two Brothers Roofing, we help homeowners protect their investment year-round with expert roofing, gutter, and siding services designed for the unique conditions of South Texas winters.
How Winter Weather Affects Your Roof
Even mild freezes can lead to major issues:
1. Roof Cracks & Shingle Damage
Sudden temperature drops cause roofing materials to expand and contract, leading to cracks or lifted shingles. Once a shingle is loose, water can seep underneath and cause leaks.
2. Ice Buildup
On colder nights, moisture can freeze along edges and valleys of the roof. This ice expands and weakens areas that may already have minor damage.
3. Hidden Leaks
Winter storms in areas like San Antonio, Stone Oak, Boerne, Bulverde, New Braunfels, Spring Branch and Canyon Lake often bring freezing rain. Cold moisture that finds its way beneath old shingles can lead to interior leaks that go unnoticed until it’s too late.
A winter roof inspection ensures your home is fully protected before the cold arrives.
How Winter Affects Your Siding
Your siding plays a huge role in energy efficiency, and damaged or rotting siding becomes even more vulnerable in cold weather.
Cold Weather Can:
- Make existing cracks worse
- Allow cold air into your home
- Increase your heating costs
- Allow moisture to settle behind panels
- Lead to mold, rot, or interior wall damage
Replacing damaged siding before winter hits — especially in homes throughout San Antonio, Stone Oak,New Braunfels, Schertz, Bulverde, Canyon Lake,and Spring Branch — helps keep your home warmer and reduces energy bills during cold snaps.
Why Gutters Matter in Winter
Your gutters protect your entire home from water damage, especially during winter rain and freeze cycles.
Winter Can Cause:
- Gutters to clog with leaves
- Freeze-and-thaw cycles that warp gutters
- Water to overflow onto siding and foundations
- Roof edges to rot from trapped moisture
Homes in New Braunfels, Seguin, Cibolo, Canyon Lake and areas in San Antonio experience strong winter winds and rainstorms, making gutter maintenance or replacement essential before severe weather hits.
