When your roof is damaged or leaking, you want a local roofer who can look at the problem soon and explain it in plain words.
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.
Repairs in San Antonio often follow 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 repair.

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.

Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. Small, isolated problems on a roof in good shape are usually repaired. If damage is spread across the roof or the roof is near the end of its life, a roofer may suggest replacement.
How do I find roof repair contractors I can trust?
Ask for proof of licensing and insurance, a written estimate and warranty details. Be careful with anyone who pressures you to sign right away. Calling Roofing Captain connects you with a local roofer so you can start that conversation.
