How Much Does a New Roof Cost in San Antonio? A Real Breakdown for 2026

Real talk: if you're searching "how much does a new roof cost in San Antonio," you're probably worried about two things. Are you going to overpay? And are you going to get the roof you actually need?

We've been doing roofs in San Antonio and surrounding cities for the last few years, and we've seen it all. Quotes that don't add up. Contractors that promise low and add charges later. Homeowners that paid for the wrong material because nobody explained the options.

Here's what we tell every homeowner who calls us for a free inspection: prices vary, but there are real ranges, and you deserve to know them before you sign anything. This guide gives you exactly that.

What affects the cost of a new roof in San Antonio?

Several things move the price up or down. The same house in two different San Antonio neighborhoods can have different quotes because of these factors.

Roof size

Most homes we work on in San Antonio have between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet of actual roof surface. That's different from your home's living square footage. A 2,000 sq ft house often has 2,500 to 2,800 sq ft of roof depending on pitch and complexity.

Material choice

Asphalt shingles, metal, and stone-coated metal each have different price points. We break each one down with real ranges below.

Roof pitch and stories

Steep roofs need more safety setup and take longer. Multiple stories add complexity too. A two-story home with a 7/12 or 8/12 pitch costs more than a single-story ranch home in the same neighborhood, even if the square footage is similar.

Decking condition

Here's something most contractors won't tell you: if the wood under your shingles (the decking) is rotting or damaged, it has to be replaced. We always inspect the decking before quoting. Some companies skip this and surprise you with charges mid-project. We don't.

Underlayment layers

Some older homes have multiple layers of underlayment stacked over the years. Removing more than one layer means more labor time and disposal fees.

Fascia and wood repairs

Damaged fascia boards, 2x1s, or other wood that supports the roof structure sometimes need replacement during a re-roof. We inspect this upfront so it's in the quote, not a surprise.

Permits

San Antonio and surrounding cities like New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, and Boerne sometimes require permits depending on scope. We handle all permitting, but it does affect the final cost in some jurisdictions.

Real price ranges for a new roof in San Antonio

Let's get to the numbers. These are honest ranges based on the actual projects we complete every month in San Antonio and surrounding cities. Your specific quote might land low, middle, or high in the range depending on the factors above.

Asphalt shingles (the most common choice in San Antonio)

Around 80% of homes in San Antonio have asphalt shingles, and for good reason. Solid lifespan, great warranty options, and they fit most budgets.

Owens Corning Oakridge: $8,500 to $13,500

Our entry-level Owens Corning option. Reliable, well-warrantied, and a strong value for homeowners who want quality without going premium.

Owens Corning Duration: $9,000 to $14,500

Step up in wind resistance and curb appeal. Duration shingles use SureNail Technology, which is why they perform better in Texas winds.

Owens Corning Duration Storm: $10,000 to $15,500

Impact-resistant shingles built for hail. Many insurance companies in Texas offer discounts for impact-resistant roofs, so the higher upfront cost can pay back over time.

GAF HDZ: $9,000 to $14,500

GAF's most popular shingle line, with the industry's largest manufacturer warranty network. Excellent option if you want long-term coverage.

GAF Armor Shield II: $10,000 to $16,500

GAF's impact-resistant Class 4 shingle. Strongest hail protection in the GAF lineup and qualifies for most insurance discounts.

We're Preferred Contractors for both Owens Corning and GAF, which means our installations are certified to meet manufacturer warranty standards. Not every roofer in San Antonio can say that.

Metal roofing (premium, longer lifespan)

Metal costs more upfront but lasts 40 to 50 years. If you're planning to stay in your home long-term or want a premium look, metal is worth considering.

McElroy Standing Seam: $16,000 to $25,000

Traditional standing seam metal panels. Handles Texas heat better than most materials and looks great on modern homes.

TEK Stone Coated Metal: $24,000 to $37,000

Stone-coated metal panels that look like tile or shake but with the durability of metal. Premium option, premium price.

What should be included in your roofing quote

Here's where most homeowners get burned. Two contractors give "the same quote" but one is missing critical items. Always check that your quote includes the following.

Full tear-off of the existing roof, not install over current layers. New underlayment, not just shingle replacement. Decking inspection and replacement of damaged sections. Cleanup with magnetic sweep for nails. A labor warranty in writing, separate from the manufacturer warranty.

When we quote, we include all of this. We also give you 2-3 material options on the same quote so you can pick based on your budget. No upsell pressure, just options.

How long does a roof replacement take in San Antonio?

90% of our residential projects in San Antonio get done in one day. We bring full crews (no subcontractors), start early, finish by late afternoon. Two-story homes or homes over 3,500 sq ft sometimes need two days. Weather or material availability can extend it, but we always communicate that upfront.

When should you replace your roof?

If any of these sound familiar, it's time for a free inspection.

Your roof is over 15-20 years old. You've seen missing shingles after recent storms in San Antonio. You have active leaks or water stains on ceilings. You've noticed sagging spots from the street. You've had wind damage that you never addressed.

Don't wait. Small problems turn into decking damage fast in Texas heat. And decking damage doubles the project cost.

What if my roof was damaged by a storm?

If your roof took damage from hail, wind, or storms, insurance can cover most or all of the replacement. We handle the entire insurance communication for you, from initial inspection with up to 100 photos, to supplements if the first payout was low. We've worked with every major Texas insurance carrier.

Financing options for a new roof

A new roof is a big purchase. We get it. We offer two financing options.

In-house financing for up to 3 months for homeowners who need a little flexibility. Long-term financing through our partnership with Hearth, with rates that work for most budgets.
