Is Your South Texas Home Ready for Winter? Protect Your Roof, Siding & Gutters Before the Cold Hits

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.
