Roof Replacement Services for San Antonio Homes
Live Oak Roofing is Licensed, Insured, and Bonded
Experienced in Working with All Major Insurance Carriers
San Antonio roofs get replaced after hail more than for any other reason. The April 2016 hail storm on the north side caused over a billion dollars in damage, and Stone Oak, Shavano Park, and Hollywood Park took baseball-size hail again in April 2023. If a storm damaged your roof, we document it the way adjusters need to see it, meet the adjuster on your roof, and make sure every legitimate item is on the scope, including code-required upgrades. We do not act as a public adjuster. What to expect when filing a roof claim in Texas.
What Is Included in a Live Oak Roof Replacement
A roof replacement is more than new shingles. Here is what every Live Oak replacement in San Antonio includes, because the parts you cannot see are the ones that leak.
Full tear-off. Every layer comes off down to the decking. We do not roof over old shingles.
Decking inspection and repair. Rotted or delaminated decking is replaced before anything goes on top of it. You see photos of what we found.
Ice and water shield in the valleys and around penetrations, and synthetic underlayment across the whole roof.
New drip edge, pipe boots, and flashing. Reusing old flashing is how a new roof leaks in year two.
Proper ventilation. Ridge vent and intake balanced for the attic, which matters for shingle life in Texas heat.
Owens Corning system installation. As a Preferred Contractor we install the full system so the manufacturer warranty covers the whole roof, not just the shingles.
Permit and inspection. The City of San Antonio requires a permit for a residential reroof. We pull it and handle the inspection.
Cleanup and walkthrough. Magnets for nails, debris hauled away, and a final walk with you before we register the warranty.
Roofing Materials for San Antonio Homes
Architectural shingles. The most common roof in San Antonio. We install Owens Corning shingles on most homes and work with every major manufacturer, so you can match an existing roof or choose the line that fits your budget.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Rated to withstand 2-inch hail. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for Class 4 roofs, which can pay back a meaningful part of the upgrade over the life of the policy. Are Class 4 shingles worth it in Texas?
Standing seam metal. A 40 to 50 year roof with the best hail and wind performance available. Metal vs shingles vs tile for Central Texas.
Tile. Clay and concrete tile for Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes.
Flat and TPO. Single-ply membrane systems for flat residential sections and commercial buildings.
What a replacement costs depends on roof size, pitch, material, the number of layers to remove, decking condition, and access. We give an exact written number after a free inspection. Not sure you need a full replacement? Start with our roof repair page and the 25 percent rule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in San Antonio
How much does a roof replacement cost in San Antonio?
It depends on roof size, pitch, material, how many layers have to come off, decking condition, and access. Class 4 and metal cost more up front and often less over their life. We give an exact written number after a free inspection.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are done in one day. Larger or steeper roofs, tile, and metal can take two to three days.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in San Antonio?
Yes, inside city limits the City of San Antonio requires a reroof permit. We pull it as part of the job. Some surrounding cities have their own requirements and we handle those too.
How do I know if I need a new roof or a repair?
If the damage is localized and the roof has life left, repair it. If more than about a quarter of the roof is damaged, the shingles are worn across the whole roof, or there are multiple layers, replace it. We tell you which one you are looking at after a free inspection.
Will insurance pay for a new roof?
If a storm damaged enough of the roof, usually yes, minus your deductible. Texas wind and hail deductibles are often a percentage of the home’s insured value, so know your number before you file. Does insurance cover a roof leak in Texas?
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Two warranties: the manufacturer’s material and system warranty, which we register for you, and our workmanship warranty in writing.
Are Class 4 shingles worth it?
In a hail area like San Antonio, often yes. Many insurers discount premiums for Class 4 roofs, and they hold up better in the storms that would otherwise mean another claim.
Do you offer financing for a new roof?
Yes, through GoodLeap. Apply online in a few minutes and get a decision quickly.
Can you match my HOA’s roof requirements?
Yes. Many San Antonio neighborhoods have color and material guidelines. We help you pick a product that passes review and provide the spec sheets your HOA asks for.
How do you protect my landscaping and AC unit during a roof replacement?
We tarp the landscaping around the house and cover the AC unit before tear off starts. The tarps catch the old shingles and nails so they do not end up in your flower beds or lawn.
What does cleanup look like after a roof replacement?
We haul off all of the debris, and we run a magnetic sweep over the yard and driveway to pick up nails. Your property should look the way it did before we started, with a new roof on it.
Who is my point of contact during the job?
Your project manager. One person follows your roof from the inspection through the final walkthrough, so you always know who to call and what comes next.
Do I need to be home while my roof is replaced?
No. We only need access to the outside of the house and the driveway. Many customers go to work and come home to a finished roof. It is loud inside during tear off, so plan around that for pets, naps, and work calls.
What happens if you find rotted decking under the old roof?
Decking is the wood under your shingles, and nobody can see all of it until the old roof comes off. We replace up to 3 sheets of rotted decking at no charge. If we find more than that, we show you what we found and talk it over with you before we go further.
How soon can you start after I sign?
Usually within 3 days to a week, depending on weather and material delivery. If your roof is leaking in the meantime, we tarp it so your home is protected while you wait.
Can you replace a roof that has solar panels?
Yes. We work with solar panels all the time. Our own crew removes the panels, replaces the roof, and puts them back, so you are not coordinating two companies.

Great experience. Great communication and efficient on a repair in the rain. Rain didn’t stop them from fixing my issue before it got bigger. Would highly recommend
I will 100% use this company again for roofing needs and I recommend you do also! I called in the morning to get an evaluation & quote on few roof repairs that popped up on an inspection report, and Will was at my home by 10am. He assessed the work and left to write up a quote. The work was fairly priced, and I didn’t feel the need to get a second quote. He returned at 2pm to start work and completed it within a few hours! It was so fast and easy! Give this company a try!
Excellent job! Kayla and Will helped throughout the whole process!! Would use again and again!
Had a great experience with Live Oak Roofing! Timely estimate, fair pricing for a total roof replacement, and quick to schedule and complete the work. I would recommend them to anyone with roofing needs.
Will provided a free roof inspection. He was thorough & professional. He explained the photos he took & adviced me to call him whenever I had a concern.

How to Avoid Roofer Scams in the Greater San Antonio Area
Whenever a severe hailstorm rolls through New Braunfels, Spring Branch, or San Marcos, out-of-state “storm chasers” flood local neighborhoods. These predatory companies knock on doors, promise free roofs, collect insurance checks, and disappear before doing the work—or leave homeowners with sub-standard, leaking roofs. Read more →
