A full tear-off and replacement — new underlayment, your choice of shingle tier, and a real warranty on our workmanship alongside the material coverage.
Not every damaged roof needs a full replacement — but when damage is widespread, or a roof is decades old and patching it would just delay the inevitable, Holmes tells you that plainly. We handle full replacements across the San Antonio metro out of our home base in Selma, TX. A full replacement starts with tear-off, a decking check, new underlayment, and your choice of shingle tier, backed by a real warranty covering our workmanship, separate from the manufacturer’s own material warranty.
Holmes is a GAF Certified contractor, and Joshua Holmes brings 20+ years of roofing and contracting experience to every replacement he puts his name on.

Every replacement starts the same way as a repair call — a free, documented inspection and a straight answer on what your roof actually needs.
Inspection Details →The old roof comes off down to the deck, so we can catch and address any hidden decking damage before new material goes down.
New installs are backed by a warranty on our workmanship on top of the manufacturer’s material coverage — see the full terms on our warranty page.
Warranty Details →Every step is the same whether it’s a shingle, tile, or metal replacement — only the material and install details change.
Replacement beats repair when the cost of fixing the damage starts approaching the cost of a new roof, or when the roof is simply near the end of its material life. The concrete things we look for:
Any one of those on its own is a conversation. Several together usually means patching is buying months, not years. An inspection is the only reliable way to know where a roof actually stands — and we will say repair if repair is the honest answer.
Three asphalt tiers cover most replacements around here, and the choice is the single biggest lever on both the look and the long-term cost of the roof.
Holmes is a GAF Certified contractor, so we install the GAF line and the manufacturer-backed warranties that come with it. Tile and metal are both options too — see roof types. We walk the tradeoffs with you at the free inspection so the tier fits both the budget and what the roof actually has to take.
When damage is widespread, granule loss is severe across most of the roof, or the roof is already decades old and a patch would only buy a year or two. Given how hard the Texas sun works on a roof, that point arrives sooner here than homeowners expect. Our inspection looks at the damaged area and the surrounding condition before making that call — and we’ll say repair if repair is the honest answer.
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for a claim toward replacement — our free inspection documents exactly what you’ve got. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf.
Shingle, tile, metal, and low-slope commercial systems including TPO, flat, and modified bitumen — see our roof types page for details on each.
New installs carry a 15-year workmanship warranty on shingle roofs and a 20-year workmanship warranty on metal roofs, both with free annual inspections for up to 10 years — on top of the manufacturer’s own material warranty.
A free inspection and written plan, full tear-off down to the deck, a decking check and repair of anything found underneath, new underlayment, then the new roof material — with a final walkthrough before we call it done.
Check for manufacturer certification (Holmes is GAF Certified), active municipal registration (Holmes carries City of San Antonio HIC-24-00928), proof of insurance, and a written workmanship warranty — not just a verbal promise.
