Thinking about a metal roof, or need work on the one you have? One call connects you with a local roofer who installs and repairs metal roofs on homes, barns, and other buildings.
San Antonio has long, hot summers with highs in the mid-90s and occasional 100-degree days that age shingles and overheat attics. Spring storms can produce very large hail: the April 12, 2016 storm dropped stones up to about 4.5 inches across the North Side and damaged thousands of homes, ranking as the costliest hailstorm in Texas history at the time. The area is also known for flash flooding from heavy downpours, and about a dozen freezing nights a year, with rare snow and ice events like February 2021.
Roofs in San Antonio have to stand up to large spring hail, intense summer heat and UV, heavy downpours and flash flooding and damaging thunderstorm winds. Mention what happened to your roof when you call, so you are connected with a roofer who handles that kind of project.

Do San Antonio roof repairs need a permit?
San Antonio requires a permit to replace or install a roof, including a standard re-roof on a house. If the roof pitch changes or the covering changes to tile, an engineer's inspection report is also needed, and homes in historic or conservation districts get additional review.
- A maximum of two layers of roofing material is allowed, per the International Residential Code as applied by the city.
- Changing the roof slope or switching to tile requires an engineer's assessment report before framing inspection.
- Re-roof applications for properties in a Historic District or Neighborhood Conservation District are reviewed by the Office of Historic Preservation or the relevant office.
Check with the City of San Antonio Development Services Department if you are unsure.
Types of Metal Roofing for Homes

- Standing seam panels with raised seams and hidden fasteners
- Exposed fastener panels, often called corrugated or ribbed panels
- Metal shingles designed to look like slate, shake, or tile
- Stone-coated steel with a textured, granular finish
- Steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc, each with different strengths

What causes the most roof damage in San Antonio?

Is a metal roof a good choice for my home?
Metal works well for many homes, especially in areas with snow, wildfire risk, or strong sun. It may be less appealing if your budget is tight or neighborhood rules limit materials. A local metal roofer can help you weigh the options.
What is the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal?
Standing seam panels have raised seams and hidden fasteners, which give a clean look and fewer exposed holes. Corrugated or ribbed panels are fastened through the face, which often costs less but means more fasteners to maintain.
