Roof Repair in San Antonio, TX

Picture a 1970s ranch house on the North Side after a wet week. There's a stain in the hallway ceiling and a bucket under the drip, and from the yard the roof looks fine. Usually most of it is. Roof repair in San Antonio is for that kind of roof, one that's sound overall but has a leak, a few lifted or missing shingles, a cracked pipe boot, flashing that's rusted or pulled away, hail-bruised shingles, a wind-lifted ridge cap, or a patch of rotted decking. Nothing comes off that doesn't need to. The shingles, underlayment and decking stay, and we replace only what failed. Texas-RRR works on sloped and flat roofs in shingle, metal and tile, across the San Antonio metro and up the I-35 corridor to Austin. A typical repair ticket here covers one slope or one penetration, wraps up in a single visit, and uses the same Owens Corning or GAF products the roof already has.

The fix depends on where the water's getting in, so the common jobs each have their own page. Roof leak repair begins at the ceiling stain and works backward until we hit the entry point. Older San Antonio masonry homes tend to fail first at the metal around chimneys, walls, valleys and vents, and that's roof flashing repair. Once water has sat on the plywood or plank base long enough to soften it, you're into roof decking replacement. Then there's the night a limb comes through, or a storm peels a section back. That's emergency roof repair, and all that matters is getting the house dry. Clay and concrete tile have a page too. With tile roof repair, the trouble's usually the underlayment under the tile, not the tile.

Why do roofs here give out the way they do? Heat first. Summer attic heat bakes the asphalt in a shingle until the granules let go, and the daily swing from a hot afternoon to a cooler night keeps working at pipe boots and sealant until, a handful of seasons later, they're loose. Hail does the rest. On April 12, 2016, hail up to 4.5 inches fell on Helotes in what was, at the time, the costliest hail event in Texas history. The late April 2021 storms dropped baseball-size hail on the near West Side around Zarzamora and Saunders and set the state hail record at Hondo in Medina County. A lot of the roofs leaking now took one of those hits and never got a proper inspection.

Our advice after 2,800 plus projects? Call the week you notice the stain. Let a drip run through one wet season and a pipe-boot swap can turn into a decking job, which is a much bigger bill.

Should you repair it or replace it? That's what most roof repair calls in San Antonio are really asking, and some contractors answer with whichever pays them better. We run the same five checks on every roof, show you the photos behind each one, and explain which way each check pushes the decision.

1. Free estimate and inspection. We walk the roof, get into the attic if we can reach it, and photograph every problem we find, not only the one you called about.
2. A written scope. It lists what failed, what we'll do about it, and anything else up there that's close to failing. Nobody's going to push you to bundle.
3. Materials matched to your roof. Owens Corning or GAF, matched in shingle profile and color as closely as the original run allows.
4. The repair. Single-area repairs are usually a one-visit job. We strip back to sound material, replace decking if it's soft, put down new underlayment and flashing, and shingle back in.
5. Cleanup and walk-through. A magnet sweep for nails, debris hauled off, and then we go through the photos of the finished work with you.

Storm damage shuffles the order a little. We document first, meet your carrier's adjuster on the roof, and build the scope around what the policy covers. Why bother? An estimate written before the adjuster visit can anchor the claim too low, and chasing a supplemental report afterward takes longer than getting the scope right the first time. Our reviewers tell that part better than we can. Connie T. wrote that the team was "friendly, professional and honest about repairs and costs." And here's Marco P.: "Came out for the estimate Friday, had a guy on site the next day! 100% satisfied with the quality of work."

We're based in San Antonio and give free repair estimates all over San Antonio. Our crews fix roofs across Bexar County, in Alamo Heights and Helotes, Converse and Universal City, and farther out in Boerne and New Braunfels. Some Alamo Heights and Monte Vista homes from the 1920s and 1930s still have original chimney and wall flashing in places. The 1970s ranch houses on the North Side and South Side, meanwhile, have hit the age where pipe boots and valleys quit. Between the two, the leak and flashing calls keep our crews busy all year, storms or no storms.

Austin-area homeowners get the same crews through our Austin line, and they've needed it. Every year since 2023 has brought a major hit. On September 24, 2023, hail up to 4 inches fell on Round Rock. May 2024 brought another large-hail event across the region. After that came the April 2025 Georgetown storm and the May 2025 microburst, which crossed north Austin with a 77 mph gust at the airport. Plenty of those roofs didn't leak until months later. That's why we push for a post-storm inspection even when the ceiling looks fine. We handle roof repair in Austin and Williamson County the same way we do it here, and our storm damage page covers what happens when a storm takes more than the roof.

A word about door knockers. After a big hail event, out-of-town crews pour into both cities with a truck full of yard signs. Go with a roofer who has a local track record. We're based in San Antonio, our phone number's on every page of this site, and we'll still be here next spring.
