CertainTeed Roof Replacement in San Antonio: What to Know First
CertainTeed roof replacement in San Antonio typically runs $8,500 to $16,500 for a standard single-family home, depending on the shingle line, decking condition, and roof complexity. We’re an independent CertainTeed service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, which means we recommend what’s actually right for your house rather than what moves inventory. Most full replacements take two to four days from tear-off to final inspection. This page is for homeowners whose CertainTeed roof has reached the end of its service life, whether it’s a 1990s Hearthstead that’s shedding granules or a newer Landmark that came through a hailstorm looking worse than it should. Call (361) 209-8857 for a written estimate.
How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
CertainTeed makes solid shingles, but every line has its patterns. Here’s what we actually see on San Antonio roofs:
- Landmark series granule loss at the 12-to-15-year mark. San Antonio’s heat cycles bake the asphalt layer until it can’t hold granules anymore. You’ll see them piling up in gutters and dark patches where the mat is showing. If the decking underneath is still sound, we can sometimes extend life with targeted repairs. But once granule loss covers more than 30 percent of the roof, replacement is the honest call.
- Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL curling at the corners. These are thick, heavy laminated shingles that look great but trap heat differently than standard architectural lines. The corners lift first, especially on south-facing slopes in Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. Once water gets under a curled corner, the underlayment starts degrading. By the time homeowners call us, we’re usually replacing the roof, not repairing it.
- CT and XT 25 (now discontinued) becoming brittle after 15+ years. These older three-tab lines were workhorses in the 1990s and early 2000s, but they weren’t built for San Antonio’s UV intensity. They crack when walked on, which makes repairs risky because every step creates new weak points. We handle these as full replacements and typically recommend stepping up to a modern architectural line.
- Improperly installed starter strips and ridge caps on CertainTeed systems. CertainTeed’s warranty language is specific about starter shingle placement and ridge cap fastening. We routinely find roofs where a previous contractor skipped CertainTeed’s starter strip and used a generic one, or nailed ridge caps with the wrong exposure. That’s a warranty-killer, and it’s also a leak source at the most vulnerable points of the roof.
- Flashing failures at penetrations, not shingle failures. This one surprises homeowners. The shingles look fine, but water is getting in around chimneys, vents, and skylights. CertainTeed shingles can outlast the flashing. We replace the flashings with new metal, re-bed the penetrations, and then decide whether the shingles still have life or need to come off too.

Our CertainTeed Roof Replacement Process
Every CertainTeed job in San Antonio follows the same sequence, and you see every step before, during, and after:
- 1
Written estimate with line-item pricing. We inspect the roof, measure it, check decking condition, and hand you a written number. That number doesn’t change unless we find hidden decking rot, and even then we document it with photos before touching anything.
- 2
Material selection with CertainTeed and non-CertainTeed options. If you want to stay with CertainTeed, we quote Landmark, Landmark Pro, or Presidential Shake. If you’re open to alternatives, we’ll show you comparable GAF and Owens Corning lines side by side. You choose based on price and warranty, not sales pressure.
- 3
Permit pull and scheduling. We handle San Antonio permitting. Most CertainTeed replacements don’t require anything beyond a standard reroof permit, but if your home is in a historic district, we’ll flag the extra review time before you commit.
- 4
Tear-off, decking inspection, and installation. We strip to the deck, photograph everything, and replace any rotted or delaminated decking at a pre-agreed per-sheet price. Then we install the new system with the correct CertainTeed starter strips, underlayment, and ridge caps.
- 5
Final walkthrough and documentation. You get before-and-after photos, a digital invoice by text, and the manufacturer warranty registration paperwork filled out correctly. If anything looks off in the first 365 days, the Done Right Promise means we’re back out to fix it at no charge.
What CertainTeed Roof Replacement Costs in San Antonio
Here’s what we quote for typical San Antonio homes, based on current material and labor pricing:
- Landmark architectural shingles, 1,600 – 2,200 sq ft roof: $9,500 – $13,000
- Landmark Pro, same size: $11,000 – $14,500
- Presidential Shake, same size: $14,000 – $18,500
- Decking replacement (per 4×8 sheet, if needed): $75 – $110
- Full tear-off, two layers removal: add $1,500 – $2,800
Price moves based on roof pitch, number of penetrations, decking condition, and whether the old roof has one layer or two. A steep roof in Stone Oak costs more than a simple ranch in Windcrest because of safety equipment and labor hours. Call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll give you a written number for your specific roof.

FAQs
No. CertainTeed warranties cover the materials, not who installs them. What voids the warranty is improper installation, like using generic starter strips or the wrong nail pattern. We install to CertainTeed’s published specifications, which is what keeps your warranty valid, regardless of who you hire.
Sometimes. If your CertainTeed color is still in production and the existing shingles haven’t faded much, we can do a section replacement that blends reasonably well. But San Antonio sun fades granules unevenly, and a five-year-old roof next to new shingles will show a visible difference. We’ll tell you honestly whether a patch or a full replacement is the better use of your money. Call (361) 209-8857 for an in-person assessment.
Most standard single-family homes take two to four days. That includes tear-off, decking repair, installation, and cleanup. Weather delays happen, but we schedule with San Antonio’s spring and fall storm patterns in mind, and we’ll call you if the forecast forces a change.
It depends on why your current roof failed and how long you plan to stay in the house. If you liked the CertainTeed look and the failure was age-related, staying with Landmark or stepping up to Landmark Pro makes sense. If you want a different price point or warranty structure, GAF and Owens Corning are comparably built. We’ll show you numbers for both and let you decide. Estimates are free.
Yes. We pull all required San Antonio permits and schedule inspections where applicable. If a job requires a permit, it’s listed in your written estimate. You’re never asked to handle permitting yourself.
