AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across San Antonio
If you’re searching for Roofing help in San Antonio, the two questions that matter most are what it will cost and whether the crew will show up when they say they will. Roof replacement across San Antonio typically runs $8,000-$20,000, and targeted repairs usually land between $400 and $1,800. Barrett & Sons Construction answers the phone with a live person, puts pricing in writing before work starts, and shows up with Tom Barrett’s name on the truck, not a franchise logo. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is San Antonio’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re owner-operated and have been since 1998, which means the person who shakes your hand is the same person who stands behind the work. No out-of-state call centers, no rotating project managers, no mystery subcontractors. When you call about a roof issue in Alamo Heights or Terrell Hills, you get Tom or one of his sons, and they know the difference between a King William Victorian roof and a Hill Country contemporary. That local knowledge matters.
Every job gets the same treatment: permits pulled, inspections signed, written change orders before any scope change, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise printed on the contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings us back. That’s the whole point of putting our name on the work. Our reputation in San Antonio comes from neighbors telling neighbors, not from a marketing budget.
We stock common materials for San Antonio homes and can schedule fast for small repairs, but we will not quote a job over the phone just to change it at the door. You’ll get line-item pricing, GAF or CertainTeed materials you can look up yourself, and a schedule we actually keep. Serving San Antonio means driving these streets, knowing these homes, and answering the phone when a storm tears through at night.

Roof Repair
Small leaks have a way of becoming ceiling stains and rotted decking faster than homeowners expect, especially in older San Antonio homes where pier-and-beam foundations shift and pull flashing loose. We handle everything from replacing a few lifted shingles to repairing water-damaged sheathing and re-sealing penetrations around vents and chimneys. Most roof repairs in San Antonio fall between $400 and $1,800, and we always show you exactly what we found before we quote the fix.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full replacement makes sense when your roof is nearing the end of its service life or when storm damage has compromised more than a patch can fix. Across San Antonio, that typically costs $8,000-$20,000, driven by square footage, roof pitch, tear-off layers, and material choice. In established neighborhoods like Woodlawn and Jefferson, we’ve also dealt with roofs where previous owners layered new shingles over old ones, which adds disposal cost and sometimes reveals decking that needs attention.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs have become a common upgrade in San Antonio because they shed hail better than asphalt and stand up to the intense UV that bakes shingles brittle over time. Standing seam metal installation here runs $15,000-$40,000, which reflects the material, the precision work, and the labor involved in doing it right. If you’ve had a metal roof for years and need a repair, we handle those too, including seam resealing and rust remediation.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofs are popular in San Antonio’s older, Spanish-influenced neighborhoods, and they need a different touch. Barrel tile repair here typically runs $600-$2,500, because cracked or slipped tiles let water through to the underlayment, and walking on a tile roof to find the problem takes experience and care. We treat tile roofs gently, reuse materials when possible, and make sure the underlayment is healthy before we call a repair done.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Antonio
We install and repair GAF, CertainTeed, and other premium roofing systems, and we’re not shy about which brands we use. If a material carries a name you can look up, you can hold it to a standard.

We keep common materials and flashing components in local stock so a repair doesn’t wait on a supply house across the metro.
Common Roofing Problems We See in San Antonio Homes
San Antonio’s weather is not gentle on roofs. Here is what we find most often when we climb up to take a look:
- Hail damage on asphalt shingles - Not always visible from the ground. Hail can fracture the fiberglass mat inside the shingle, which shows up later as granule loss and accelerated aging. We document what we find and show you photos before recommending a repair or full replacement.
- Flashing leaks at chimneys and skylights - Older San Antonio homes, particularly bungalows from the 1920s through the 1950s, often have original metal flashing that has corroded or pulled away from shifting brick. This is one of the most common leak sources we fix in 78201 and 78202.
- Improper ventilation causing decking rot - San Antonio’s humid summers and short, cool winters create attic condensation when ventilation is weak. We regularly find rotted decking under otherwise healthy shingles, especially on homes with original gable vents that don’t flow enough air.
- Roof penetrations leaking after poor installation - Vents, pipe boots, and satellite mounts are frequent trouble spots. The cheapest installers reuse old boots or skip the sealant; we replace boots and bed everything properly. In San Antonio, a $20 pipe boot can become a $2,000 ceiling repair.
Pricing for Roofing in San Antonio, TX
Here’s honest money talk for San Antonio. A roof repair will usually set you back $400-$1,800, depending on the extent of the damage and whether decking or structural work is needed.

San Antonio pricing is generally consistent with the surrounding Bexar County market.

Yes, on every eligible job. San Antonio requires permits for roof replacement, and we pull them before work begins and schedule inspections when the job is complete. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, that’s a red flag worth walking away from.
