The San Antonio roofing blog
Articles on hail, metal and shingle roofs, what sets a roof's price and how roofs are built, written for San Antonio owners, landlords and small building owners. The service pages carry the work itself; these pieces fill in the background.
Storms
What spring hail does to a San Antonio roof, how a roofer reads what the storm left behind, and what the labels on impact-resistant shingles mean against the city's hail record. The NOAA Storm Events Database holds 363 Bexar County hail reports of 1 inch or larger from 1996 to mid-2026, and 158 of them came in April, 91 in May and 61 in March.
- What hail damage does to a roof in San Antonio: the shingle marks IBHS names and what a roofer reads after a spring storm.
- Impact resistant shingles for San Antonio hail, and what the labels mean: the UL 2218 Class 4 label, the IBHS ratings and the ways a lab test is and is not a storm.
Materials
A roof can be made of asphalt shingles, metal panels (standing seam or exposed-fastener), clay or concrete tile, or a flat membrane over a porch or addition. Each material has places it does well, with its own install details, labels and look from the street.
- Metal roof vs shingles: choosing for San Antonio hail and heat: panels and shingles each have places where they do well, and the comparison is written for a reader deciding on their own roof.
Prices and timing
What a new roof costs on a San Antonio house is a question with many answers, each tied to a part of the roof. For metal, the Metal Roofing Alliance says a roof's shape and pitch pull the installed cost around more than the choice of panel style, with staging area, material storage, hips and valleys in the same list. For every reroof, NRCA says existing deck attachment cannot readily be determined before the old roof system is removed.
