AfterHow Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in San Antonio?
Roof Replacement services in San Antonio typically run $8,500 to $18,500 for a standard 1,800 to 2,400 square foot single-family home as of 2026. That range covers architectural asphalt shingles, the most common material in the San Antonio market, with tear-off of the old roof and full installation included. On the low end, a simple single-story roof with basic three-tab shingles might land around $7,000, while a steep two-story roof with premium materials can push past $25,000.
What you pay depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, and the condition of the underlying decking once the old shingles come off. Below, we break down every line item so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you sign anything.
Roof Replacement Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what a roof replacement in San Antonio actually costs, line by line. These figures reflect what we see across Bexar County in 2026, from Alamo Heights to Stone Oak to Helotes.
| Line Item | Typical Cost Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tear-off and disposal of old roof | $1,200 to $2,800 | Includes haul-away and landfill fees. Two layers cost more. |
| Decking replacement (per 4×8 sheet) | $70 to $110 per sheet | Most homes need 3 to 8 sheets replaced once old shingles come off. |
| Underlayment (synthetic or felt) | $0.25 to $0.60 per square foot | Synthetic holds up better in San Antonio humidity and costs roughly $0.15 more per square foot than felt. |
| Architectural asphalt shingles (materials) | $3.50 to $5.50 per square foot | GAF Timberline, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration all fall in this bracket. |
| Labor for shingle installation | $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot | Steep pitches and two-story homes run higher. |
| Flashing replacement | $300 to $900 | Flashing is the metal strips that seal joints around chimneys, vents, and valleys. |
| Drip edge and ridge vents | $400 to $1,100 | Code-required in San Antonio. Improves attic airflow. |
| Permits | $150 to $400 | City of San Antonio permit fees are based on project valuation. |
A few things push these numbers up or down in the San Antonio market specifically. Homes in older neighborhoods like Monte Vista, King William, or Jefferson often have multiple layers of old roofing, which adds tear-off labor. Newer developments around Cibolo and Schertz tend to have simpler roof geometries but larger square footage, so material costs dominate. And San Antonio’s hail seasons, particularly spring storms rolling off the Hill Country, mean many roofs have existing storm damage that needs decking repairs before new shingles go down.
What Affects Roof Replacement Pricing in San Antonio
- Roof size and complexity: A 1,200 square foot ranch in Harlandale costs far less than a 3,500 square foot two-story in Dominion with multiple gables, valleys, and hips. Every angle adds labor hours.
- Roof pitch: Anything steeper than a 7/12 pitch requires extra safety equipment and slower work. Flat or low-slope roofs, common on mid-century homes in Castle Hills, need different materials entirely, often TPO or modified bitumen, which changes the pricing structure.
- Material choice: Three-tab shingles run $2.80 to $3.80 per square foot. Architectural shingles run $3.50 to $5.50. Standing seam metal can reach $9 to $14 per square foot. Tile, common on Spanish-style homes throughout San Antonio, lands between $8 and $12 per square foot but often requires structural reinforcement.
- Decking condition: This is the wild card. You won’t know until the old shingles come off. We see rotten decking more often in older neighborhoods near the Olmos Basin and around mature oak canopies, where trapped moisture accelerates wood decay. Budget an extra $500 to $1,200 for this possibility.
- Number of existing roof layers: Building code in San Antonio allows a maximum of two layers. If your home already has two, both must come off, which adds time and disposal fees. If you have one layer and the decking is sound, a re-roof over a single layer is an option, though we generally recommend a full tear-off for warranty purposes.
- Season and storm demand: After a major hail event, materials and labor tighten up across San Antonio, and prices can jump 10 to 15 percent for a few weeks. If you’re not filing an insurance claim, scheduling in the fall or winter typically gets you better pricing and faster timelines.
Roof Replacement Cost by Material in San Antonio
Material choice drives more price variation than anything else. Here’s what we quote in 2026 for a typical 2,000 square foot roof:
- Three-tab asphalt shingles: $7,000 to $9,500 total installed. The budget option. Expect a 15 to 20 year lifespan in San Antonio’s sun and heat.
- Architectural asphalt shingles: $9,000 to $13,500 total installed. The sweet spot for most San Antonio homes. GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration all carry 30 to 50 year manufacturer warranties and handle hail better than three-tab.
- Standing seam metal: $18,000 to $28,000 total installed. Reflects heat well, which matters in San Antonio summers, and lasts 40 to 60 years. The upfront cost is steep, but it’s the last roof many homeowners ever buy.
- Concrete or clay tile: $16,000 to $26,000 total installed. Matches the Spanish Colonial aesthetic common in neighborhoods like Terrell Hills and Olmos Park. Requires a structural check, since tile weighs three to four times what shingles do.
- Composite or synthetic slate: $14,000 to $22,000 total installed. Lighter than real slate, holds up to hail, and mimics the high-end look without the high-end structural requirements.
Every roof we replace at Crestview Roofing San Antonio uses manufacturer-backed materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, or Boral. The material quality is never in question. What we focus on is making sure you see the written price for your specific material choice before any work starts.
How to Save on Roof Replacement
Nobody wants to pay more than they have to. Here’s where San Antonio homeowners actually find savings without cutting corners:
- Get a written, itemized estimate. Not a verbal ballpark. A written price with line items lets you compare quotes honestly and prevents the door-knock price bump. At Crestview, the number on your estimate is the number on your invoice. No exceptions.
- Schedule in the off-season. November through February is slower for San Antonio roofers. You’ll often get faster scheduling and more competitive labor pricing than during spring storm season.
- Don’t skip the decking inspection. A roofer who quotes you without checking the attic and decking is guessing. Guessing is how you get a “surprise” change order mid-project. A proper inspection before the quote prevents that.
- Check your insurance policy. If your roof has hail or wind damage, your Texas homeowners policy may cover a substantial portion of replacement. San Antonio sits in a hail-prone corridor, and dated roofs with storm damage are frequently eligible for claims. We can help you document damage and work with your adjuster.
- Ask about the guarantee. A cheap roof with a 90-day guarantee costs more than a properly installed roof with real coverage. The 365-Day Done Right Promise from Crestview means any covered repair that fails within 365 days gets corrected at no charge. That’s in writing, included with every job, and it means you’re not paying twice.

FAQs – Roof Replacement Cost
How much does a roof replacement cost in San Antonio in 2026?
Most San Antonio homeowners pay between $8,500 and $18,500 for a full roof replacement on a standard single-family home. The median for a 2,000 square foot roof with architectural shingles lands around $11,000 to $12,500. Call (361) 209-8857 for a free written estimate on your specific roof.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof in San Antonio?
If the damage is isolated to one area, a repair typically runs $300 to $1,200 and can extend the roof’s life by several years. If you have widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or the roof is over 20 years old, replacement usually costs less per year of remaining life than repeated repairs. We’ll tell you honestly which makes sense for your roof.
How much does a metal roof cost in San Antonio?
A standing seam metal roof on a typical 2,000 square foot home in San Antonio runs $18,000 to $28,000 installed. That’s roughly double the cost of architectural shingles, but the lifespan is 40 to 60 years versus 25 to 30. The reflective surface also cuts cooling costs during San Antonio summers.
How long does a roof replacement take in San Antonio?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in San Antonio take 1 to 2 days once materials are on site. Metal and tile roofs take 3 to 5 days. Weather delays are common during spring storm season, so we build scheduling buffers into every project timeline we quote.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement in San Antonio?
In many cases, yes. San Antonio sits in a hail corridor, and Texas law requires insurers to cover storm-related roof damage if it meets policy thresholds. If your roof is over 15 years old and has hail damage, a claim may cover 60 to 100 percent of replacement cost minus your deductible. We help document damage and work directly with adjusters to make sure nothing is missed.
Can you replace a roof the same week I call?
Often, yes. Outside of peak storm season, we can typically schedule a roof replacement in San Antonio within 5 to 10 business days of your approved estimate. Emergency tarping for active leaks is available immediately. Call (361) 209-8857 and a live person will check current scheduling.
