About
Sandoval Roofing & Remodeling is a small owner operated contractor working out of Elmendorf, a town in southern Bexar County just southeast of San Antonio. Contractor records place the business at 16423 Borregas Rd in Elmendorf and name Raul O. Sandoval as owner. The published number is (210) 639-5068, which matches the number on the City of San Antonio Contractor Connect register.
The company has no website. What is documented comes from a Nextdoor business page and contractor permit records. The described work is roofing in asphalt shingle and metal, together with remodeling inside and out, decks, fencing in several styles including privacy, chain link, vinyl, wrought iron and ranch fence, automatic gate openers, and land clearing and mulching. Neighbor recommendations on Nextdoor describe storm damage repair and roofing among the jobs done. Permit records show a working history rather than a paper only registration, and the business is described as licensed and insured.
This is a genuinely local operator, not a regional firm. The honest read on coverage is Elmendorf, the south and southeast side of San Antonio, and the nearby parts of Bexar County, and any claim of wide area coverage should be treated with caution. Southern Bexar County is inland, so windstorm certification does not apply. Hail is the main cause of sudden roof loss, and the long hot summers and strong ultraviolet exposure are what age shingles, pipe boots and flashing sealant in between storms.

Insurance & credential verification
Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.

Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.
No. Texas does not license roofing contractors at state level, so no roofer in Bexar County can be state licensed for roofing. What is verifiable instead: current general liability and workers compensation insurance, city contractor registration, and voluntary credentials such as RCAT membership or a manufacturer certification.
Is Sandoval Roofing & Remodeling an RCAT member?
No RCAT record was found for this company when the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member directory was searched. RCAT membership is voluntary and most small local contractors are not members, so this is expected rather than a concern. It simply means RCAT is not a credential you can check here.
How is an RCAT Member different from an RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor?
Member means the company pays dues to the association. Licensed Roofing Contractor (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is a separate credential earned through RCAT's own testing and continuing education requirements. They are not the same thing, so ask a contractor which one they actually hold.
Does a roof in Elmendorf need windstorm or WPI-8 certification?
No. WPI-8 windstorm certification is for the 14 first tier Gulf Coast counties in the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association program. Bexar County is inland and is not included, so windstorm certification is not part of a normal roof replacement in Elmendorf or San Antonio.
What should I expect from a one or two crew local roofer?
Often good value and direct access to the person doing the work, with less office overhead. The tradeoffs to check are scheduling capacity after a big hail event, whether the workmanship warranty is written down, and whether workers compensation coverage is in place. Ask for the certificate of insurance from the insurer directly.
What damages roofs around southern Bexar County?
Hail is the main cause of sudden damage and the usual reason a roof gets replaced on insurance. Between storms, the wear comes from heat and ultraviolet exposure, which strip granules from asphalt shingles, harden pipe boot rubber, and dry out sealant at flashings and penetrations where leaks usually begin.
Are Class 4 impact resistant shingles worth the upgrade here?
Frequently yes. Class 4 is the top UL 2218 impact rating and resists hail far better than a standard shingle. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. Ask your carrier what the annual saving is in dollars, then compare it against the added cost over the time you plan to own the house.
Do I need a permit, and does it depend on whether I am inside city limits?
Yes it depends. Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is set locally. A house inside San Antonio city limits, one inside Elmendorf city limits, and one in unincorporated Bexar County can each fall under different rules. Ask your contractor which jurisdiction your address is in and who pulls the permit.
How do I check that a roofer is really insured?
Ask for a certificate of insurance sent to you directly by the insurance agent, not a PDF forwarded by the contractor, and confirm it shows both general liability and workers compensation as current. Workers compensation is the one people forget, and it matters because an uninsured injury on your roof can become your problem.
What are the warning signs when hiring after a hailstorm?
Pressure to sign the same day, an offer to waive or absorb your deductible, which is illegal in Texas, a large deposit demanded up front, no written scope of work, and a company with no local address or permit history. Slow down, get a second inspection, and read the contract before signing anything an adjuster has not seen.
