Shingle replacement is the surgical fix for a roof that has damaged, cracked, curled, or missing shingles but doesn’t yet need a full roof repair in San Antonio. It’s the most common repair we do after storms roll through, and it’s the single best way to stop a small problem from turning into a water-damage bill in your attic. This page explains what we replace, how the process works, what it costs in San Antonio’s market, and what our written guarantee covers.

If you’re looking at a few broken shingles and wondering whether to patch or replace the whole roof, this is the place to start. We’ll give you honest numbers and the same visibility we’re known for: a written price, a live arrival time, and before-and-after photos of the work.

When You Need Shingle Replacement

Most shingle damage announces itself eventually, but catching it before the next Texas downpour is the difference between a $400 repair and a $4,000 ceiling job. Here are the situations where we recommend shingle replacement, not just inspection:

• Missing shingles after wind. San Antonio sits in a hail and high-wind corridor, and 60 to 70 mph gusts pull shingles clean off the nail line. A single missing shingle exposes the decking underneath to every rain that follows.
• Curled or cupped shingles. Heat is hard on asphalt. In neighborhoods like Stone Oak and Alamo Heights, we see shingles that have curled at the corners after a decade of Texas sun. Curling means the shingle has lost its seal and is no longer shedding water correctly.
• Granule loss in the gutter. If you clean your gutters and find what looks like black sand, that’s the ceramic surface of your shingles washing off. Granule loss is normal at the very end of a roof’s life, but when it shows up early, it means the shingles are aging fast and need replacing soon.
• Cracked shingles from hail. Hail impact doesn’t always knock a shingle off. Many times it leaves a soft, bruised spot that cracks a year later. You’ll see hairline splits that widen every season. Those are failure points.
• Bald spots from impact or debris. A tree limb that scrapes across the roof or a heavy branch that lands during a storm can strip shingles down to the matting. Replacing those shingles quickly prevents the decking from soaking and rotting.
• Shingles that no longer seal. The adhesive strip on an asphalt shingle is what keeps it locked to the one below it. Once that strip fails in the heat, the shingle lifts in the wind. That’s when you start hearing flapping during storms.

If any of those sound familiar, the next step is a roof inspection. We don’t charge for the estimate, and we’ll show you photos of everything we find, including the healthy parts of the roof we recommend leaving alone. Call (361) 209-8857 and we’ll get it scheduled.

Our Shingle Replacement Process

Most roofing companies leave you guessing. We don’t. The process below is exact, documented, and governed by The Relay Visibility Guarantee, which is part of the Relay Home Co. standard of doing business:

1. You send us photos or we come out for a free inspection. We’ll measure the damaged area, check for hidden decking damage around it, and confirm what your existing shingle type is. We won’t recommend a full roof replacement unless the roof truly needs it.
2. You get a written price. Before any work starts, we send a written estimate that includes the shingle count, the material cost, labor, and disposal. The number on the page is the number on the invoice. No “surprise” line items at the end.
3. We schedule and you track us arriving. You receive a live, trackable arrival time through The Relay Standard. No four-hour windows. No “sometime Tuesday.” You see our technician’s name, photo, and vehicle before they arrive.
4. We replace the damaged shingles. Our background-checked, uniformed technician removes the broken shingles, checks the underlayment and flashing, and installs matching shingles with new nails and sealant. We use manufacturer-backed materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, among others, so your repair matches the quality of the original roof.
5. Before-and-after photos are sent to your phone. You see exactly what was replaced and what it looks like now. No wondering if the work was actually done. This documentation is part of every single Crestview job.
6. You receive a digital invoice and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every repair is covered for a full year. If the replacement fails within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s in writing, included with the job, no upsell.

Shingle Replacement Pricing in San Antonio

Shingle replacement in San Antonio runs $350 to $950 for most jobs. The factors that move the price within that range are the number of shingles, the pitch of your roof, whether it’s one or two stories, and the shingle type itself.

The big variable is access. A single-story walkable roof in Leon Valley is faster and less expensive to repair than a steep two-story roof in Terrell Hills. Pitch matters because it changes the safety requirements and the time it takes our technicians to do the work correctly and safely.

Here’s the pricing breakdown for a standard asphalt shingle replacement, the kind that makes up most of what we see in San Antonio:

Repair Type	Typical Range	What It Includes
Spot repair, 3 to 5 shingles	$275 – $425	Matching shingles, nails, sealant, labor, cleanup
Standard repair, 10 to 20 shingles	$400 – $650	Larger torn area, new underlayment patch, labor
Large repair, 25+ shingles or ridge line	$650 – $950	Multiple sections, ridge cap replacement, extra disposal
Architectural or designer shingle repair	$500 – $1,100	Higher material cost for premium shingle profiles

The brand matters too. Architectural shingles from Owen’s Corning or GAF run more than standard three-tab, but they’re also what most newer roofs in San Antonio are built with. If your roof uses premium shingles, we match them with the same profile and color. An honest repair company does the job with the right material, not whatever is on the truck.

Here’s the thing about pricing: we don’t quote over the phone and then “adjust” when we see the roof. The written estimate covers everything. If we find hidden decking damage, we document it, explain it, and give you the updated price before we touch it. No surprises on the invoice.

Every estimate is free. Call (361) 209-8857 and you’ll get a real price, in writing, before any work starts.

What Shingle Replacement Costs Don’t Include

Understanding what’s not in a shingle replacement quote helps you avoid sticker shock later. Some companies in San Antonio quote a base price and then add on charges for things that should just be part of the job. Here’s what to watch for:

Nails, sealant, and basic disposal are always included in our written price. So is the time it takes to match your shingle color. These aren’t add-ons; they’re the job. If a repair is complicated by a chimney or skylight, we’ll note that in the estimate as flashing work, not spring it on you at the end.

Decking replacement is the one legitimate variable. If we remove a shingle and find the wood underneath has rotted through, that wood has to be replaced before new shingles go on. We stop, show you a picture, and price the decking repair before proceeding. A typical rotted decking patch runs $150 to $400 depending on the square footage affected.

The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the repair itself for a full year. If a shingle we replaced fails during that window, we return and fix it at no charge. That promise is written into every invoice. It’s not conditional on a maintenance plan or a follow-up visit. It’s the repair, guaranteed, for a year.

Signs of Shingle Damage vs. Time for a Full Roof Replacement

One of the questions we answer every week in San Antonio is whether damaged shingles mean it’s time for a full replacement. Most of the time, they don’t. Here’s the rule of thumb we use:

If the damage is isolated to a few shingles and the roof decking underneath is dry and solid, you need shingle replacement. That’s a repair. If the damage covers multiple sections of the roof, the shingles are at the end of their lifespan, or the decking is spongy across whole areas, you’re looking at reroofing. That’s a replacement.

Age matters too. A 12-year-old roof in San Antonio that takes a hard hail hit on one slope is usually a candidate for replacement of just that slope’s shingles. An 18-year-old roof with curling shingles across the south and west exposures is probably at the end of its service life, and patching it is throwing money away.

We’ll tell you which situation you’re in, and we’ll show you photos proving it. We don’t upsell full replacements. We make more in the long run by being straight with you. That’s why our home page leads with the guarantee and the written price, not a sales pitch.

Hail and Wind Damage in San Antonio: What We Usually Find

San Antonio sits in what the insurance industry calls severe convective storm territory. The hail storms that hit Castle Hills, Hollywood Park, and Cibolo during the spring and early summer months routinely produce hail from quarter to golf ball size. That’s big enough to fracture shingles but not always big enough to knock them off the roof, which is why some damage hides for a season.

We find two common patterns. The first is direct hail strikes, which leave a bruise on the shingle where granules are knocked off and the matting is exposed. These spots take on water. The second is wind damage along the roof edges and ridge line, where shingles have been lifted and cracked along the nail line, sometimes requiring vent boot repair if the damage extends around penetrations.

After a major storm, we recommend an inspection even if nothing looks wrong from the ground. We’ll check the roof surface, the gutters for granules, and the soft spots around penetrations, including whether valley repair is needed where water collects. This kind of pre-emptive repair is cheaper than waiting for the ceiling stain.

Material Brands We Use for Shingle Replacement

We’re not loyal to one manufacturer. We’re loyal to the right shingle for your roof. That means matching what’s already on your home if you have a newer roof, or recommending a better material if the roof is aging and you’re planning a fuller replacement in the next few years.

We install and repair with shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, among other top manufacturers. These are the shingle brands you see on most new construction in San Antonio, and they carry manufacturer-backed warranties that are only valid when a qualified contractor does the installation. We do the work to the manufacturer’s spec, which keeps those warranties intact.

If your roof uses an uncommon color or a discontinued product line, we’ll tell you before we start. Matching shingles is part of doing the repair right, not an excuse to charge extra. If a perfect color match isn’t available, we’ll show you the closest option and let you make the call.

FAQs – Shingle Replacement

Is it cheaper to repair or replace shingles?

Repair is almost always cheaper in the short term. Shingle replacement for a few damaged shingles costs $275 to $950 in San Antonio, while a full roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the size and material. The smarter question is whether your roof has enough life left to make repair worthwhile. We’ll tell you honestly. Call (361) 209-8857 for a free inspection and written recommendation.

How much does shingle replacement cost in San Antonio?

Most shingle replacement jobs in San Antonio run between $350 and $950. Spot repairs with 3 to 5 shingles start around $275, while larger repairs of 25 or more shingles reach the top of that range. The exact price depends on the shingle type, roof pitch, and accessibility. We provide a written quote before any work begins, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

Can you replace a few shingles the same day?

Yes. In most cases, we can come out, inspect the roof, and complete a standard shingle replacement the same day we arrive, provided the weather cooperates. We carry common shingle colors and profiles on our vehicles for exactly that reason. You’ll see a live arrival time before we head your way, and we send before-and-after photos once the work is done.

How long does the replacement last?

A properly installed shingle replacement should last as long as the surrounding roof. That’s why we cover every repair with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the replaced shingles fail within a year, we come back and correct it at no charge. The written guarantee is included with every job, no exceptions.

Does my homeowners insurance cover shingle replacement?

It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Hail and wind damage are typically covered, while normal wear and tear is not. We document everything with photos and provide the documentation most San Antonio homeowners need to file a claim. If your claim is approved, we work with your insurance company’s adjuster to complete the repair correctly.
