Styles & brands we work with
Shingle Roof
A shingle roof is the most common roof system in San Antonio, and for good reason: asphalt shingles handle the Texas sun and sudden downpours well, they install quickly, and they cost less than most alternatives. When a shingle roof is installed correctly with proper underlayment and ventilation, you can expect 20 to 30 years of service depending on the shingle grade. Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio installs architectural and three-tab shingle roofs across the city, from Alamo Heights to Helotes. A standard shingle roof installation in San Antonio typically runs $5,200 to $9,800 for a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home, with architectural shingles adding roughly 10 to 15 percent over three-tab. Material choice, roof pitch, and tear-off requirements all move the number. Call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll give you a written, line-item price before anyone climbs a ladder.
Architectural Shingles vs. Three-Tab
Architectural shingles are thicker, laminated, and carry wind ratings up to 130 mph, which matters during San Antonio’s spring storm season. Three-tab shingles are flatter and lighter, and while they cost less upfront, they don’t hold up as well to hail. We’re happy to show you samples of both and price them side by side.
Underlayment and Decking Inspection
We don’t install over a questionable deck. Every shingle roof installation starts with a full decking inspection, and if we find rot or soft spots, you’ll see photos and get a written add-on price before we proceed. The last thing you want is a new roof nailed onto a failing foundation.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
A standing seam metal roof is the premium option for San Antonio homeowners who want a roof that will likely outlast their mortgage. The panels run vertically from ridge to eave with concealed fasteners, which means no exposed screw heads to leak over time. Standing seam costs more upfront than shingles, but the lifespan is typically 40 to 60 years, and the reflective surface cuts attic heat gain during San Antonio summers that regularly push 100 degrees. A standing seam metal roof installation in San Antonio generally runs $14,000 to $28,000 depending on roof size, panel gauge, and whether we’re tearing off the old roof or installing over it. Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio installs standing seam roofs from manufacturers including Boral and GAF, with weathertight detailing at every transition.
Why Concealed Fasteners Matter
Exposed-fastener metal roofs rely on rubber washers that dry out and crack in the Texas sun. Standing seam panels use clips and seams that expand and contract with temperature swings without stressing any fastener. That’s the difference between a 20-year metal roof and a 50-year one.
Energy Efficiency in San Antonio Heat
Light-colored standing seam panels reflect a large share of solar radiation, which means your attic stays cooler and your air conditioner runs less. Many homeowners in Fair Oaks Ranch and Scenic Oaks choose standing seam specifically for the July and August utility savings, not just the look. If you’re in the area, ask us about our Roof Installation in Helotes as well.
Tile Roof
A tile roof is what you see on the most distinctive homes in Terrell Hills, Castle Hills, and the older neighborhoods around San Antonio. Clay and concrete tile roofs carry a Mediterranean profile that nothing else matches, and properly installed tile can last 50 years or more. The catch is weight: tile roofs require a structural deck that can handle the load, and not every home is built for it. A tile roof installation in San Antonio typically runs $18,000 to $38,000, with concrete tile on the lower end and clay on the higher end. Underlayment quality matters as much as the tile itself because tile sheds water but doesn’t seal it out completely. Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio installs tile roofs with high-performance synthetic underlayment and full flashing integration.
Concrete vs. Clay Tile
Concrete tile costs less and performs nearly as well as clay in most applications. Clay tile holds its color longer and carries the classic look, but it’s also more fragile during installation and repairs. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs based on your specific roofline.
The Underlayment Is the Real Roof
Tile is the armor, but the waterproof barrier underneath is what keeps your home dry. In San Antonio, where we get intense sun followed by sudden downpours, a high-quality synthetic underlayment is worth every dollar. We install it in two layers on low-slope tile applications.
Roof Ventilation
Roof ventilation is the system of intake and exhaust vents that moves air through your attic, and it’s one of the most overlooked parts of a San Antonio roof installation. A poorly ventilated attic in our climate can hit 150 degrees in August, which cooks shingles from below, warps decking, and forces your AC to work overtime. Proper ventilation balances intake at the eaves with exhaust at or near the ridge so air moves continuously. Roof ventilation installation or upgrade in San Antonio typically runs $450 to $1,800 depending on the vent type, attic size, and whether we’re adding ridge vent, box vents, or a powered system. Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio includes a ventilation assessment with every roof installation quote.
Ridge Vent vs. Box Vents
Ridge vent runs along the entire peak and gives you uniform exhaust across the attic. Box vents are cheaper and work fine on roofs with limited ridge line, but they don’t move as much air. We’ll calculate your attic’s ventilation needs based on square footage and current intake capacity.
Signs Your Attic Is Overheating
Shingles that curl at the edges, rooms that stay hot even with the AC running, and high summer electric bills all point to poor attic ventilation. We see it constantly in neighborhoods like Leon Valley and Kirby, where older homes were built before modern ventilation standards existed.
Roof Flashing Installation
Roof flashing installation covers the metal pieces that seal joints and transitions on your roof: chimneys, skylights, valleys, walls, and vent pipes. Flashing is where most roofs leak, not in the open field of shingles. When flashing fails or is installed wrong, water finds its way into the attic and walls, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the damage is already done. Roof flashing installation or replacement in San Antonio typically runs $350 to $1,400 per area depending on the type, material, and accessibility. Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio fabricates and installs flashing from galvanized steel, aluminum, and copper, always integrated with the roof system rather than caulked over as a shortcut.
Step Flashing on Wall Intersections
Where a roof meets a vertical wall, step flashing is the correct method: individual L-shaped pieces woven between each course of shingles. Cauking a straight line along the wall looks simpler and fails faster. We do it right, and we photograph it before the final layers go on.
Chimney and Skylight Flashing
Chimneys are the most common leak point on San Antonio homes, especially older brick chimneys in Alamo Heights. We install counter-flashing into the mortar joint and cover it with a weatherproof sealant, then document it with photos so you can see exactly what you paid for.
TPO Roofing Installation
TPO roofing installation is our standard for flat and low-slope roofs across San Antonio, from residential additions to garage roofs and porches. TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, a white single-ply membrane that reflects heat and welds into a continuous, watertight surface. It’s the most cost-effective modern flat roof system, and the bright white surface makes a measurable difference in cooling load during a San Antonio summer. TPO roofing installation in San Antonio typically runs $6,500 to $12,000 for a typical residential flat roof, depending on insulation thickness, roof size, and parapet detail work. Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio installs TPO from manufacturers including GAF and Owens Corning, with fully adhered and mechanically attached options.
Fully Adhered vs. Mechanically Attached
Fully adhered TPO is glued to the insulation board below, which gives a cleaner finish and better wind resistance. Mechanically attached TPO uses screws and plates, which costs less upfront. Both can be excellent; the right choice depends on your deck type and building height.
Heat-Welded Seams
TPO seams are fused with hot air welding, not glue or tape. A properly welded seam is stronger than the membrane itself, which is why TPO flat roofs routinely last 20 to 25 years in San Antonio with basic maintenance. We test every seam before we leave the property.
Brands We Service
GAF is one of the largest roofing material manufacturers in North America, and we install GAF shingle systems including the Timberline line, which carries wind ratings up to 130 mph. We’re familiar with GAF’s full accessory lineup, from ridge cap shingles to leak barriers, and we register every GAF roof for the manufacturer’s warranty so you get full coverage, not a verbal promise.
CertainTeed shingles are known for their color consistency and dimensional profiles, particularly the Landmark series. We’ve installed CertainTeed systems throughout San Antonio and Roof Installation in Universal City, and we can show you physical samples rather than a brochure photo when you’re making your selection.
Owens Corning is the brand behind the Duration series with SureNail technology, which has become a favorite in hail-prone areas around Texas. We also install Owens Corning TPO membrane for flat roofs. Whether you have an Owens Corning system or any other make, we can help with installation, repair, and warranty work.

- Shingles curling or losing granules. When the granule layer wears off, the asphalt underneath bakes in the San Antonio sun. Curled edges mean the shingle is losing its grip, and the next strong storm can peel it off entirely.
- Daylight showing through attic boards. Go up in the attic on a sunny day and look up. If you see light coming through the roof deck, water can get in through those same gaps. That’s a decking failure, not a shingle problem.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls. Stains mean water has already penetrated the roof and is traveling through insulation and drywall. By the time it’s visible, the leak has been active for a while. The source is rarely directly above the stain.
- Roof age over 20 years. Most asphalt shingle roofs in San Antonio last 18 to 25 years depending on ventilation and storm exposure. If your roof is past 20, you’re living on borrowed time, and insurance claims may be denied on an end-of-life roof.
- Mold or musty smell in the attic. That’s trapped moisture, usually from a ventilation problem or a slow leak that hasn’t shown itself yet. It won’t resolve on its own, and in a humid city like San Antonio, it spreads fast.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Free on-site inspection and written estimate. Dylan Pace or a senior installer walks the roof, documents every finding with photos, and gives you a written line-item price. The number on that page is the number you pay, no change orders unless you approve them in writing.
- 2
Material selection and scheduling. We bring physical samples of the shingle, metal, or tile options in your price range. You pick the material, the color, and the timeline that works for you. You get a live trackable arrival time on install day, so you’re never waiting on a four-hour window.
- 3
Protection and tear-off. We cover landscaping and outdoor furniture, then remove the old roof down to the decking. If we find damaged decking, we photograph it, show you, and get written approval before replacing it. No surprise add-ons.
- 4
Installation with photo documentation. This is where the craft matters. We install underlayment, flashing, the roof system, and ventilation exactly to the manufacturer’s specification. You get before-and-after photos of the key stages so you can see the work that goes into the parts you’ll never see from the ground.
- 5
Final walkthrough and digital invoice. We clean the job site, run magnetic nail sweeps, and walk the roof with you if you’d like. You receive a digital invoice by text, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is included in writing on every job.
How Much Does Roof Installation Cost in San Antonio?
Roof Installation in San Antonio covers a wide range depending on material and scope. A standard shingle roof installation on a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home typically runs $5,200 to $9,800. Standing seam metal runs $14,000 to $28,000. Tile runs $18,000 to $38,000. Flat roof TPO runs $6,500 to $12,000. These are installed prices including tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup, but your specific roof may fall outside these ranges based on pitch, height, complexity, and the condition of the decking.
What affects the price the most: roof size and pitch, the number of penetrations (chimneys, pipes, skylights), decking condition, and your material choice. A steep roof on a two-story home in Terrell Hills costs more to install than a simple ranch in Kirby simply because of access and safety requirements.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written line-item estimate and compare it against another written estimate, not a verbal ballpark. Make sure the warranty is in writing and the material brand is specified. Our free estimate includes a decking inspection, ventilation assessment, and exact material quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Installation in San Antonio
Roof installation is the complete process of building a new roof system on your home: removing the old roof down to the decking, inspecting and repairing the deck as needed, installing underlayment and flashing, then applying the finished roof material such as shingles, metal, tile, or TPO membrane. It’s different from a repair, which addresses a specific problem on an existing roof. A full installation is what you need when the roof has reached the end of its service life or when you’re building new construction.
Most shingle roof installations in San Antonio are completed in one to two working days depending on size and complexity. Standing seam metal and tile roofs typically take three to five days. Flat TPO roofs usually take two to three days. Weather can push things out, especially during spring storm season, and we’ll keep you updated with a live trackable arrival time and photo progress updates throughout the project.
A shingle roof installation typically runs $5,200 to $9,800 for a standard San Antonio home. Standing seam metal runs $14,000 to $28,000, tile runs $18,000 to $38,000, and TPO flat roofs run $6,500 to $12,000. The exact number depends on roof size, pitch, material grade, decking condition, and the number of penetrations. Call (361) 209-8857 for a free written estimate with real numbers for your specific roof.
Yes, Crestview Roofing Co San Antonio installs GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing systems, along with Boral and other major manufacturers. We can show you physical samples from each brand and walk you through price differences and warranty terms. The material you choose is written into your contract, so there’s no bait-and-switch on install day.
We answer calls with a live person 24/7, so if a storm tears off shingles or a tree limb punctures your roof, you can reach us immediately. We’ll assess the damage quickly, provide temporary protection if needed, and give you a written estimate for the permanent fix. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair we make for a full year, including a free second visit if the repair fails.
You get two layers of protection. First, the manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials, and we register every roof so you get the full coverage. Second, our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship for a full year in writing, included with every job. If any covered repair fails within 365 days, we correct it at no charge. Every guarantee is written, never verbal.
Clear vehicles from the driveway area if possible, and move outdoor furniture or potted plants away from the roofline. Make sure any attic access is unobstructed in case we need to inspect from inside. Inside the home, expect some vibration and noise during tear-off, so secure wall-mounted items that could rattle. We’ll cover landscaping and run magnetic nail sweeps after the job, but keeping kids and pets indoors during the work makes everything safer and faster.
