How much does a new roof cost in San Antonio?
A full asphalt shingle roof replacement in San Antonio costs $8,000 to $15,000 in 2026 for an average home, $5,000 to $10,000 for a small one, and $20,000 to $45,000 or more for metal. The price depends on roof size in squares, pitch, layers to tear off, decking repairs and the shingle you choose. QualBuild Roofing itemizes every line in a written estimate after a free inspection.
A Roof Is a System, Not a Layer of Shingles
Shingles are the visible 40 percent. What makes a San Antonio roof last through hail, 100-degree summers and the occasional freeze is everything under and around them: sound decking, synthetic underlayment that does not tear in wind, ice-and-water membrane in the valleys and around every penetration, new step and counter flashing at walls and chimneys, new pipe boots, drip edge, and ridge ventilation that lets a 150-degree attic breathe.
We replace roofs on single-story ranch homes, two-story tract homes, Hill Country stone homes and older Alamo Heights houses with multiple layers to remove. Options run from architectural shingles to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles to standing seam metal, and we walk you through the cost, the look and the insurance discount for each.

The Shingle That Pays You Back
Class 4 shingles pass the UL 2218 test, a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking. Texas law requires insurers to discount premiums for them, and San Antonio homeowners typically see 15 to 35 percent off.
- UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating
- TDI Form PC068 completed and given to you for the discount
- Manufacturer product certificate for your insurer
- Fewer claims after the next hail season
- Usually 10 to 20 percent more than standard architectural shingles
