Roof Jack / Vent Cap Replacement in Boerne, TX
When the dryer exits through the roof, the termination is a roofing detail as much as a venting one. We remove the old jack, clear the lint packed under it, and set a dryer-rated cap with a damper that swings free — never a screened termination, because a screen on a dryer exhaust is a lint trap by design. The flashing is woven into the shingle course above it and sealed so the penetration stays dry through the next storm. What the roof asks of us drives the price: a walkable composition roof is the base, while steep pitch, tile or metal, and second-story height that means rigging fall protection all cost time. That number is quoted before we climb. Serving Boerne (3 ZIP codes, 20k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Boerne, TX
Boerne is new construction by Texas standards. The great majority of its homes went up after 2000, on hillside lots where the subdivisions climb out of the Cibolo valley, and newer building usually means rigid metal duct, which is the right material. Hill Country geometry works against it anyway. Steep pitches and standing-seam roofs put a lot of these terminations well off the ground, and a roof cap is the hardest component for a homeowner to check. Ash juniper is the local complication. The cedar that turns these hills yellow every December drops fine debris that mats into damp lint at the outlet, and birds treat a warm vent hood as prime nesting real estate through the spring. Gas service thins out fast past the older streets near the town center, so the overwhelming majority of Boerne dryers are electric. No combustion concern there, but a restricted electric dryer simply runs longer and hotter until something gives.
