How much does a roof replacement cost in San Antonio?

A full replacement on a 2,000 sq ft home in the San Antonio market runs $18,000–$28,000, or $2.50–$5.00 per square foot installed. Shingle tier is the biggest cost lever: 3-tab shingles run about $560 per square, architectural shingles about $615 per square, and luxury shingles about $765 per square. Beyond material choice, total cost depends on roof pitch, tear-off layers, flashing condition, decking replacement, and permit fees. The blended average across all roofing jobs — repairs and replacements combined — is $5,000–$8,000 in this market. We never quote over the phone because no honest roofer can price a roof without seeing it. Holmes gives you an exact written quote after a free inspection; call (210) 440-1013 to schedule. For a full, current price breakdown by shingle type, roof size, and what insurance actually covers, see our San Antonio roof replacement cost guide.

When should I replace instead of repair my roof?

Replacement beats repair when the cost of fixing damage approaches or exceeds the cost of a new roof, or when the existing roof is nearing the end of its material lifespan. Concrete indicators to replace: widespread granule loss across multiple slopes, active leaks in more than one area, widespread shingle cracking or curling, visible daylight through the decking, or a roof older than 20–25 years showing cumulative wear. Repeated repairs that keep failing — especially on a roof already past its prime — are a strong signal that patching is no longer cost-effective. A professional inspection is the only reliable way to know where your roof stands. Holmes provides free inspections and will give you a straight answer: repair if repair makes sense, replace if the math says replace. We never recommend more work than the situation requires.

What happens during a roof replacement — step by step?

A Holmes replacement follows a consistent process: free inspection and written quote first, then we schedule your install day. On the day, our crew removes the existing shingles and inspects the decking — any rotted or damaged decking boards get replaced before anything new goes on. We install a new underlayment layer across the full deck, then lay your chosen shingles from the eave up, working in overlapping courses. Flashing at every penetration — valleys, vents, chimneys, skylights, and walls — is replaced or reset as part of the job. Ridge caps are the last piece. We use a rolling magnetic sweeper on every job to collect nails from the yard, and we haul all old materials off the property the same day. You get the job in writing before we start and the warranty documentation when we finish.

Will a hail storm justify a full replacement rather than repairs?

It depends on the size and spread of the damage. Smaller hail (pea-sized) on a newer roof may justify targeted shingle repairs rather than a full replacement. But South Texas hail often runs golf-ball to baseball-sized, and a single storm can compromise granule coverage across every slope simultaneously — at that scale, targeted repairs leave too many weakened shingles behind and insurers typically authorize full replacement anyway. Holmes inspects hail damage on the roof itself, documents every impacted area with photos, and gives you an honest assessment: we tell you whether the damage justifies a full claim or whether targeted repairs are the right call for your situation. If replacement is warranted, we can be ready when your insurance adjuster comes out so the documented damage gets a fair evaluation. Call (210) 440-1013 to schedule your free hail inspection. See our hail damage repair page for more on the claim process.

How do I choose a roof replacement contractor in San Antonio?

Verify license and insurance first: the City of San Antonio requires a roofing contractor license, and state law requires general liability and workers’ comp coverage. Holmes carries both and is licensed under HIC-24-00928. Look for a GAF certification or equivalent manufacturer credential — it signals training, quality standards, and access to the strongest warranty programs. Verify the company has a local, established address rather than a post-storm operation that showed up after hail season and will be gone when warranty work comes due. Check Google reviews for recency and specificity — generic five-star reviews without detail are easier to fake than detailed accounts of real jobs. Holmes is family-owned in Selma, TX, rated 5.0 stars on Google by local homeowners, and we back our work with warranty documentation. Get at least two quotes in writing, compare scope — not just price — and ask what happens if hidden decking damage adds to the job.
