Roof Repair in San Antonio, TX

A roof repair fixes the part of the roof that's failing and leaves the rest alone. One slope of hail-hit shingles. A pipe boot that cracked in the sun. Flashing around the chimney that pulled away. A valley where the shingles wore through.

It's the right call when the rest of the roof still has life in it. It's the wrong call when the whole roof is at the end, because you'd be paying to patch something that's going to leak somewhere else next year. The inspection is how we tell the two apart, and the written estimate says which one you've got.

• A brown stain on a ceiling or at the top of a wall.
• Shingles in the yard after a windy night, or bare spots you can see from the street.
• Shingle grit piling up at the bottom of the downspouts.
• Daylight showing in the attic, or damp insulation.
• Metal flashing lifted around a chimney, skylight or vent.
• Water showing up inside only when the rain comes from one direction.

Any one of these is reason enough to get the roof looked at. None of them tells you how big the fix is. That takes someone on the roof.

1. Call or send the form. Someone from the office calls or texts to set a day and time.
2. Someone gets on the roof. Not a drone shot from the street. A person walks every slope and looks at the flashing, the vents, the valleys and the pipe boots.
3. You get the photos the same day. You see what we saw. Nothing is described to you that you can't look at yourself.
4. The price comes in writing before any work starts. If a repair will fix it, the estimate says repair. Replacement only gets written up when the roof needs it.

For a repair, the estimate lists what's being replaced, where on the roof it is, and the price. You'll have the photos to match it against.

• Replacing missing, cracked or hail-hit shingles on one slope or one section.
• Resealing or replacing pipe boots and vent flashing.
• Step flashing and counter flashing at chimneys and walls.
• Valley repairs where water runs hardest.
• Ridge cap replacement after wind.
• Nail pops and exposed fasteners on metal roofs.
• Skylight flashing.

Shingle, asphalt, shake and metal roofs on homes. Repairs on TPO, standing seam and built-up commercial roofs are on the commercial roofing page.

A written estimate before any work starts. It names the problem, the fix, the materials and the price. You also keep the inspection photos. If the roof needs more than a repair, the estimate says so and explains why, and you'll have the photos to see it for yourself.
