Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across San Antonio
Roof repair in San Antonio usually means one thing: hail damage. Spring supercells roll through the Hill Country and hammer composition shingle roofs across Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, and Helotes, leaving granule loss, cracked shingles, and dented flashing behind. A typical shingle repair runs $350 – $800, while flat roof patches on the older homes near Monte Vista or King William District run $500 – $1,200 depending on membrane condition. If water is already coming through, call us at (254) 276-4369. Grant Whitlock and our crew respond fast, and we show up the right way: name and photo sent ahead, photo ID badge at the door, written price in hand before a single nail is driven.
Why Mercer Roofing Co San Antonio Is San Antonio’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
San Antonio homeowners have seen the circus. After every major hail event, out-of-state crews flood neighborhoods like Cibolo and Bulverde, knock on doors, and offer “free inspections” that end with pressure tactics and contracts signed on an iPad. Mercer Roofing Co San Antonio does not play that game. We are part of the Threshold Group family, founded in 2000, and every location is independently owned and operated under the Threshold Verified standard. That means background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed technicians on every visit. Nobody who works on your roof is a stranger. You get a name and a photo before we arrive, and a photo ID badge at the door before we step inside.
What sets us apart in San Antonio is the written guarantee. Every repair, from a vent boot replacement in Schertz to a valley repair in Floresville, comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right within a year, we make it right, and a second visit is free. We also put every price in writing before work starts. No surprises on the invoice. No handshake math. Just a clear, line-item price for a specific repair, the way it should be.

Flat Roof Repair in San Antonio
Flat Roof Repair in San Antonio is a different animal than shingle work. The city’s older neighborhoods, especially inside Loop 410, include hundreds of homes with low-slope and flat roof sections built with modified bitumen, TPO, or old built-up roofing systems. San Antonio’s intense UV exposure and summer heat break down these membranes faster than northern climates do, causing cracks, blisters, and seam failures around scuppers and parapet walls. A flat roof patch in San Antonio typically costs $500 – $1,200, while larger membrane repairs can run $1,500 – $3,000 depending on substrate condition. If your flat roof is leaking near a parapet or around a plumbing stack, do not wait. Water sitting on a compromised membrane spreads under the decking quickly.
What a Flat Roof Patch Actually Involves
We cut back the damaged membrane to solid decking, then inspect the substrate for rot. If the plywood or OSB is soft, that section comes out and gets replaced before the new membrane goes down. Every patch is cleaned, primed, and sealed with compatible materials, not a generic caulk squeeze job. On older San Antonio flat roofs we often find previous patches done with the wrong membrane type, which fails again in under a year.
When San Antonio Homeowners Need Flat Roof Repair
After a strong storm, flat roofs collect water unless drains and scuppers are clear. The neighborhoods around Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills have mature trees, and leaf debris clogs drainage points quickly. If water ponds for more than 48 hours after rain, the membrane is absorbing stress it was not designed for. We also see leaks around rooftop AC curbs, which are common on San Antonio flat roof homes.
Shingle Roof Repair in San Antonio
Shingle Roof Repair in San Antonio is the bread and butter of our work, and for good reason. Most single-family homes built since the 1970s across the northside developments of Stone Oak, Timberwood Park, and Hollywood Park use asphalt composition shingles over plywood decking. San Antonio’s hot, humid summers accelerate granule loss, and then the spring hail storms finish the job with impact damage. A shingle repair in San Antonio typically runs $350 – $800 for a standard section, while full replacement on a damaged slope can run $1,200 – $3,000. The key is matching the existing shingle. We stock Owens Corning and IKO profiles, and our crews know how to blend a repair so it does not look like a patchwork quilt from the street.
What Shingle Roof Repair Involves
We remove the damaged shingles, check the underlayment and decking below, then install new shingles to the manufacturer’s nailing pattern. That nailing pattern is not optional decoration. It is the difference between a roof rated for 130 mph wind uplift and a roof that peels apart in the next supercell. We document every step with photos, which matters when you file an insurance claim after the next hailstorm.
Signs Your Shingles Are Failing in San Antonio
Look for granules in your gutters, especially after a rain. Thermal cycling in San Antonio summers causes shingles to become brittle and crack at the edges. Hail strikes leave circular impact marks, often with exposed fiberglass mat. If you see cracked, curled, or missing shingles, a targeted repair now prevents decking rot later.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Antonio
We install and repair shingle systems from Owens Corning, Atlas, and Tamko, three manufacturers with strong wind and hail ratings for Central Texas. That matters. San Antonio sits in a high-wind and hail-risk zone, and a roof rated for 110 mph will not hold up the way a 130 mph system will. We keep common profiles and colors for these brands stocked locally, which means faster turnaround when you need a section repaired and the manufacturer’s warranty intact. If your roof currently has a different brand and a section fails, we will tell you honestly whether a match is available or whether a full-slope replacement is the smarter long-term move. No upsell, just straight answers and a written price.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in San Antonio Homes
- Hail-damaged ridge vents and drip edge. Strong spring storms in San Antonio often damage the ridge vent and drip edge before the shingles themselves show impact. This leaves openings for wind-driven rain, and the next storm pushes water under the ridge and into the soffit.
- Flashing failures around chimneys and skylights. Older San Antonio homes, particularly in the mid-century neighborhoods inside Loop 1604, have original flashing that has worn through after decades of thermal expansion and contraction. Leaks around the chimney are often the first visible sign.
- Valley leaks from improperly installed or missing ice and water shield. San Antonio’s heavy rain events concentrate water in roof valleys, and without a proper membrane layer, water penetrates at the shingle seams. We see this most in homes built before current code standards were adopted.
- Vent boot gaskets cracked by heat and sun. The rubber gaskets around plumbing vents degrade under San Antonio’s UV exposure, dry out, and crack. This is a small part with a big consequence: water follows the pipe straight into the attic insulation and ceiling below.

FAQs About Roof Repair in San Antonio
No, San Antonio does not require a permit for simple shingle replacement. The city’s rule is two-tier: permits are only required when structural changes occur, like replacing decking or changing the roof structure. That means a homeowner can legally have a contractor replace shingles without any city file, which sounds convenient, but it also means storm chasers can skip inspections entirely and the homeowner never knows. If your repair requires decking replacement, that triggers a structural inspection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and document the nailing pattern for wind-load compliance. When you later file an insurance claim after a storm, that documentation protects you. Want to know if your repair is permit-required? Call (254) 276-4369 and we will tell you straight.
Yes, it can be. If decking is replaced without the required structural inspection, the city has no record that the work meets code, and your insurer may use that gap to challenge a future claim. Worse, the shingle manufacturer’s warranty is typically void when shingles are installed over unpermitted structural work. We document the nailing pattern, the decking condition, and the inspection result, then provide that to your insurer. A cheap repair that skips this step may save money now and cost you a denied claim later. Call (254) 276-4369 for an exact quote with the full compliance path spelled out.
Because contractors are quoting different scopes of work. One quote may be shingle-only, while another includes decking replacement, underlayment, ice and water shield, and a structural inspection. A door-to-door quote based on a price per square often fudges the square count, and that is where the lowball figure comes from. We measure the roof, photograph the damage, and write a line-item quote that names every material and every step. Estimates are free, and the price you see is the price you pay. Call (254) 276-4369 and get a number you can actually compare.
Check the license plate before you check the clipboard. Out-of-state plates are the first red flag. Then ask for a San Antonio permit record if the scope requires one, and ask for a written line-item quote, not a per-square handshake number. Storm chasers rarely pull permits, rarely provide a written guarantee, and rarely come back when the repair fails. Our technicians arrive in a marked uniform with a photo ID badge, and you get their name and photo before they show up. That is the Threshold Standard, and it is non-negotiable for every job we do. Call (254) 276-4369 and speak to a real person, not a call-back form.
San Antonio sits in a high-wind and hail-risk zone, so we recommend shingles rated for at least 130 mph wind uplift and Class 4 impact resistance where available. Owens Corning, Atlas, and Tamko all produce shingles that meet or exceed these requirements for our climate. We repair and install these brands, and we specify the exact product and rating in every written quote. If your insurer offers a premium discount for impact-rated shingles, the documentation we provide supports that application. Call (254) 276-4369 to discuss what your roof actually needs.
