Skilled Roof Repair Services For San Antonio Homes

Holmes Roofing & Exterior Solutions handles roof repairs across the San Antonio metro from our home base in Selma, TX. We are a GAF-certified, family-owned local crew — licensed with the City of San Antonio (HIC-24-00928) and insured — with a 5.0-star Google rating from local homeowners. Repairs on San Antonio homes range from patching a single damaged section after a storm to addressing years of accumulated wear on aging shingles, flashing, and gutters. Most repair jobs cost significantly less than a full replacement; the blended average across repairs and partial replacements in the South Texas market runs $5,000–$8,000, though smaller repairs often fall well below that. We offer a free inspection to tell you exactly what your roof needs — no phone estimates, because no honest roofer can quote roof repair without seeing it. Call us at (210) 440-1013, Monday–Saturday 9am–6pm.

What are the most common causes of roof damage in San Antonio?

San Antonio roofs take damage from several directions, and knowing the cause shapes how we repair it. Storm and hail impact is the most frequent trigger — South Texas hail season peaks March through June and can stretch into August, stripping granules from asphalt shingles and leaving bruises or punctures that allow moisture in. Sun exposure is a slower threat: prolonged UV exposure causes shingles to fade, crack, and curl over time, especially on south- and west-facing slopes that absorb the most heat. Debris is another common culprit — a fallen tree branch can crack shingles or crack ridge caps, and even smaller debris accumulation in valleys traps moisture. Age-related wear shows up as failing sealant, open joints at flashing around chimneys and vents, and shingles that have simply reached the end of their lifespan. Wildlife damage is also real in the SA metro: raccoons, squirrels, and other animals can dislodge shingles or widen existing gaps. Each cause calls for a different repair method, which is why the inspection comes first.

How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?

The honest answer depends on the scope of damage and the age of your roof. A repair makes sense when the damage is localized — a few missing or cracked shingles, a failed flashing joint, a single storm-impact zone — and the rest of the roof is in solid condition with reasonable life left. Replacement becomes the right call when damage is widespread, when granule loss is severe across most of the roof, or when the existing roof is already 20-plus years old and patching it would simply delay the inevitable by a year or two. A GAF-certified installer looks at both the damaged area and the surrounding condition — granule depth, shingle flexibility, decking integrity — before making a recommendation. Holmes gives you a straight answer: if we think repair is the right call, we’ll say repair. If we think the math points to replacement, we’ll tell you that, walk you through the cost of a full roof replacement, and let you decide.

How much does roof repair cost in San Antonio?

The San Antonio market’s blended average — repairs and partial replacements together — runs $5,000–$8,000, but the range is wide because repair scope varies so dramatically. A small patch or shingle repair can run a fraction of that figure, while a large section replacement after storm damage or a full flashing rework on a complex roof can approach the lower end of full replacement territory. What drives the cost: the extent of the damaged area, how many layers need to come off, the pitch and accessibility of your roof, whether the decking beneath the shingles needs work, and your shingle type (3-tab shingles run roughly $560 per square, architectural around $615, luxury closer to $765). Financing through our Synchrony Financial partnership is available for larger repairs. We give you a written quote after the free inspection — no rough estimates over the phone, because honest pricing requires seeing the roof.

What types of roof repairs does Holmes handle?

We handle the full range of repairs you’ll encounter on San Antonio homes. Shingle repairs — replacing cracked, missing, or wind-lifted shingles — are the most common job. Flashing repairs are second: failed sealant or improperly installed metal at chimneys, pipe penetrations, valleys, and skylights is responsible for a large share of residential leaks. We also repair ridge caps and hip caps damaged by wind, patch sections of decking when the substrate beneath shingles has rotted from prolonged moisture exposure, and reattach or replace gutters and downspouts damaged by storms or debris. For homes with flat or low-slope sections, we repair membrane and coating failures. For repairs caused by hail, see our hail damage roof repair page for the specific storm-damage and insurance-claim process. Financing is available through our Synchrony Financial partnership for any repair project.

How quickly does roof repair need to happen after damage?

A damaged roof gets worse faster than most homeowners expect. What starts as a cracked shingle or a failed flashing joint becomes a leak, and a leak left in place leads to mold growth, rotted decking, damaged insulation, and stained ceilings — each one adding cost to the eventual repair bill. In San Antonio’s climate, moisture that gets in during spring hail season has a warm, humid environment to propagate through summer. Acting quickly also matters for insurance claims: adjusters approve hail claims more readily when the damage is clearly fresh and storm-related. The practical rule: if you know damage occurred — a storm rolled through, you found granules in the gutters, you have a visible leak — call for an inspection within a few weeks, not a few months. For post-storm damage, out-of-town contractors flood San Antonio after major hail events and disappear before warranty work comes due; booking a local crew early protects both your roof and your accountability.
