San Antonio sits in a hot, humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa) with a big dose of South Texas heat. Here’s what that does to your roof: Heat blisters low-quality asphalt. Hail knocks granules off in seconds. Strong winds lift poorly nailed shingles. Humidity feeds algae growth. Sudden storms drive water sideways under flashing. I’ve seen brand-new roofs get destroyed in one season because the wrong shingles were used.
10–15 years. That’s it.
17–25 years. Best value here.
20–30 years.
If you’re in hail zones — this is the smart move.
35–55 years.
Heat doesn’t scare it.
1 square = 100 sq ft
| Roofing Type | Cost per Square | 2,000 sq ft Roof |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | $500–$750 | $10,000–$15,000 |
| Architectural Asphalt | $700–$950 | $14,000–$19,000 |
| Impact-Resistant Shingles | $900–$1,300 | $18,000–$26,000 |
| Metal Roofing | $1,200–$1,900 | $24,000–$38,000 |
Anything under $10K for a full replacement?
They’re cutting corners.
Texas has no statewide roofing license, but San Antonio requires:
Contractor registration
Permit for re-roofing
Wind-rated fastening (critical here)
If a roofer avoids talking about wind rating, run.
Heat ruins shingles before you finish one side
Hail exposes every mistake
Wind-driven rain finds weak spots instantly
Insurance denies DIY installs
DIY roofing here is a quick way to pay twice.
