Homes along Pat Booker Road and around Randolph, inspected for free and explained by the man who owns the company.
For roofing Universal City families can plan around, the useful starting point is the house itself: how old the roof is, what it has been through, and whether it needs work at all. Universal City grew up on the northwest edge of Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and many of its streets still hold houses from the 1960s and 1970s that have had two or three roofs in their lifetime.
The town is compact. Pat Booker Road carries traffic from the Randolph gate up to Loop 1604, and most neighborhoods sit within a few minutes of that line, with Live Oak to the west, Schertz to the north and Converse just south. Military families move in and out on orders, so plenty of homeowners here are buying a house whose roof history nobody handed them.
PCG Roofing is run by Richard Puigdomenech, who has a little over 20 years in construction and answers the phone himself. Call (210) 598-8556 and the first conversation is with the owner, not a call center.
A low-slope ranch house from the base’s early decades often leaks at a pipe boot, a worn vent or the flashing around a chimney long before the shingles give out. We find the source, fix that spot, and tell you plainly whether the rest of the roof has years in it.
When the shingles are brittle, curling and shedding grit into the gutters, patching stops paying off. We tear the roof down to the deck, check the wood underneath, and put on a new shingle roof. Reviews mention a crew that moves fast and leaves the yard clean.
The September 11, 2026 hail crossed Converse, right next door. Universal City sits beside the path it took, so a free check is worth having even if nothing is leaking. If the roof came through untouched, that is what you will hear.
Filing is your call, and the claim is between you and your insurer. What we do is show you what is on the roof and walk you through how a roof claim usually runs, in order, before you decide anything.
Universal City was incorporated in 1960, and its first big wave of homes followed the growth at Randolph. Those single-story brick and frame houses usually have simple gable or hip roofs that are easy to work on, but the decking under them is now more than half a century old. On a roof that age we look closely for soft spots and old repairs before quoting anything.
Some older houses also carry a second layer of shingles laid over the first during an earlier reroof. Two layers trap heat, add weight and hide problems in the wood. When we replace a roof like that, both layers come off so the deck can be seen and fixed where it needs it.
Newer streets toward the edges of town have younger roofs that rarely need more than a repair after a hard storm. The age of your house tells us where to start looking, not what we will find.
Houses here change hands often, because orders move people on a schedule. A buyer who has just closed on a home off Pat Booker Road may have no idea when the roof went on or who installed it. A free inspection gives you a baseline: what shape the roof is in today and what it may need over the next few years.
If you are getting ready to sell, the same visit tells you whether a small repair now would save a harder conversation with a buyer later. We tell you what we see and leave the decision with you.
Hail in South Texas tends to fall in narrow bands, and the September 11 storm dropped stones up to 1.5 to 1.75 inches across Converse and the rest of east San Antonio. Universal City borders that area, which is reason enough to have someone get on the roof. We will not tell you there is damage before we have seen it.
Things you can check from the ground first: dents in the metal vents or gutters, a pile of grit at the bottom of a downspout, and screens torn on the side of the house that faced the storm. Neighbors in Live Oak and Schertz are asking the same question this fall.
The storm we know about hit Converse and east San Antonio, and Universal City sits right beside that area. Whether any stones landed on your street is something only a look at the roof can answer. The inspection is free.
We do not publish prices, because the answer depends on the size and pitch of the roof and what is under it. Most of the roofs we put on are shingle. After a free inspection Richard can price your house directly.
No. A sound roof should stay dry in a hard rain, so a leak means water has found a way in, often at a pipe boot, vent or flashing. Catching it early usually keeps the repair small.
It is a good idea, especially if nobody could tell you when the roof went on. A free inspection gives you a starting point so you know what to plan for.

No. Universal City is its own incorporated city in Bexar County, northeast of San Antonio, along Pat Booker Road and Loop 1604 next to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph.

My wife and I were new home owners at the time and very afraid of being burned by the insurance company and any roofers we selected. Puigdomenech came recommended to me by my neighbor, and I am thankful they were. Naturally, my wife and I very wary of any potential scammers, but at the same time we were ignorant of the process. Richard, with Puigdomenech, was very patient in explaining the process we could expect when submitting a claim to have the roof repaired. As further assurance, everything was laid out in hand written contracts, in plain English without all that "Legal-ese." The actual roof work was done quickly and looks fantastic. In the years we have had the roof I have not seen a single issue. Unfortunately for Puigdomenech, our insurance company was less than kind and sent these roofers on a years long ordeal in an attempt to obtain final payment. Puigdomenech did not wish to involve my wife and I for fear of stressing out the new home owners, and we thank them for that. But I am pleased to say we were able to obtain final payment (and no longer support that insurance company). Long story short, we highly recommend Puigdomenech Contracting. They are clearly a reputation and reliability first company. I would definitely recommend them for any contracting needs.
Richard Puigdomenech blew away his formidable competition by offering a TEN year labor and material warranty , as well as a THIRTY year product warranty ! His attention to detail made sure everything flowed smoothly with workers , materials , insurance requirements , permits , etc. Despite many decades in the real estate rental business , he taught this old veteran quite a few critical things to know about roofing . His patient , focused manner allowed one to gain from his deep knowledge in layman's terms . Even his perfectly competitive workers aim to please . Thank GOD we picked you . My wife and I will be GRATEFUL FOR MANY MANY DECADES TO COME , and will eventually send a flotilla of investment properties your way for years to come
