San Antonio gets enough hail to keep roofers busy and enough soil movement to complicate what sits under them. With no state licence to check, the practical verification here is a city permit pulled in the contractor’s name and a business that was in town before the last storm. This page lists roofers serving San Antonio.
What San Antonio roofers handle
Hail and storm damage, with the insurance process that follows.
Full replacement on asphalt shingle, the dominant covering.
Impact-resistant upgrades, which carry a premium discount from Texas insurers.
Tile and metal on the newer and higher-end stock.
Repairs and leak tracing, particularly at flashing and valleys.
Decking and ventilation exposed at tear-off.
Licensing in Texas
Texas does not license roofing contractors. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation does not regulate the trade, there is no state exam, and there is no state register to check. Anyone can start knocking on doors after a storm.
What exists instead:
- City registration and permits, which vary by municipality and are checkable locally
- RCAT certification, from the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas — voluntary, so its absence proves nothing, but its presence is a real signal
- General liability and workers’ compensation, which you verify yourself, because no state licence stands behind the work
One legal point worth knowing before anyone quotes you. Under Texas Insurance Code chapter 707, reinforced by House Bill 2102 in 2019, a contractor may not waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible. You are required to pay it. A roofer offering to “cover your deductible” is proposing insurance fraud — a Class B misdemeanour carrying up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
It is also the most reliable way to identify a contractor who will not be around when the roof leaks.
What’s specific to San Antonio
Hail without the DFW frequency. San Antonio sits at the southern margin of the hail corridor. Storms are less frequent than in North Texas but severe when they arrive, which changes the calculation on impact-resistant shingles — the payback is slower here, but Texas insurers still discount for Class 4 products and it is worth pricing.
Permits are required and the city checks. San Antonio requires permits for roofing work and may require contractor registration. That is your substitute for a state licence, so confirm the permit is pulled in the contractor’s name rather than yours.
Expansive clay moves the structure. The soils across much of the city shrink and swell with moisture. Roof movement that traces back to foundation settlement is a structural problem wearing a roofing disguise, and re-shingling will not fix it. A contractor who notices cracked interior corners as well as the roof is paying attention.
Heat and long sun exposure. South Texas summers age asphalt from above while attic temperatures work on it from below. Ventilation is the cheapest meaningful improvement while the roof is open.
Historic districts add a step. San Antonio has extensive historic overlays where material and appearance are controlled, and approval precedes the permit. Confirm your address before agreeing a start date.
Pricing expectations
San Antonio figures for 2026, as published by local roofing companies:
- Average replacement: $12,500–$26,000; a standard 2,000 sq ft home $13,000–$18,000
- Architectural shingle: $350–$500 per square (100 sq ft) installed
- Impact-resistant shingle: $450–$650 per square, or $15,500–$22,000 on a standard home
- Metal: $800–$1,400 per square; tile $1,000–$1,800
- Tear-off and disposal: $100–$150 per square
- Damaged decking: $75–$150 per sheet, commonly $500–$1,500 extra on a typical home
One local guide breaks San Antonio down by area, and the spread is wide enough to be worth knowing before you take a number off a national calculator: South San Antonio $9,500–$15,000 against Stone Oak $18,000–$28,000 for the same standard shingle roof, with Alamo Heights, the Medical Center, Helotes and Windcrest in between. That is roof size and complexity across the city’s housing stock, not a different product. On Class 4, the same guide cites the usual 20–35 percent insurance discount — but San Antonio’s hail exposure is milder than the Dallas–Fort Worth corridor, so the premium is a calculation here rather than the obvious yes it is further north.
These are ranges local roofing companies publish for this metro rather than survey data, so treat them as a bracket to check a quote against, not a price list.
Two contract items: a per-sheet decking price agreed before tear-off, and a Class 4 quote alongside the standard one, and what your own insurer will actually discount.

How this directory helps
Every roofer here is listed with business name, address and phone so you can verify them yourself.
Three questions sort San Antonio contractors. Ask how long they have had a San Antonio address — there is no state licence, so history is the check. Ask who pulls the permit. And if anyone offers to cover your deductible, that is a Class B misdemeanour under Texas law.
