Roof Jack / Vent Cap Replacement in Schertz, 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 Schertz (3 ZIP codes, 42k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Schertz, TX
Schertz is unusual for the San Antonio area in how little natural gas service it has. The housing here is nearly all electric, which means nearly every dryer in the city is an electric unit. That simplifies one thing and complicates another. There is no combustion byproduct to worry about, but an electric dryer has no way of telling you it is struggling. It does not trip, it does not smell, it simply keeps cycling, and the heat that should be leaving through the duct stays in the duct instead. The other local factor is turnover. With Randolph next door, a large share of Schertz homes are rentals that change families every two or three years, and dryer vents are exactly the maintenance item that falls between an outgoing tenant, an incoming one and an out-of-state owner. Almost everything here is detached and built from the 2000s onward, so the runs are individual, and so is the attention they get.
