San Antonio Residential Roofing Questions

How much does a residential roof replacement cost?

roof replacement in San Antonio costs around $15,000 on average. Prices range from $10,000–$30,000, depending on the size and complexity of your roof, the materials you choose, and various other factors. An estimate from a trusted roofer will provide a more precise expected cost.

We can often install a new roof within 2 weeks of your initial inspection. The exact timeline depends on the time of year, supply chain issues, and, in some cases, the material you choose for the roof replacement. The roof replacement itself will take around 1–2 days to complete for most roofs, and up to 5 days for very large, complex roofs.

The cost of a roof repair depends on the extent of the damage, the materials needed, and the age of the roof. If you’re within a year or two of your roof being installed, repairs may be covered by a workmanship warranty or product warranty.

If your roof was damaged due to a covered peril, your roof repair may be covered by insurance. If damage is minor, however, the cost may not reach your deductible, in which case it may not be worth going through the insurance claim process.

Roof repairs can address many types of damage to residential roofs, including wind damage, minor hail damage, aging materials, fallen tree branches, and more. Our team at Dolan Roofing & Construction can also repair just about any type of roofing system, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile roofing, and more.

As a rule of thumb, roof repairs can address minor to moderate, isolated damage to a roof, while a roof replacement is likely needed if damage is significant and widespread or if your roof is near the end of its expected lifespan. A professional inspection from a trained roofer will help determine what is needed for your roof.

It is often worth filing an insurance claim for storm damage, particularly if the damage to your roof is significant enough to warrant a replacement. However, minor damage may not cost enough to reach your deductible, in which case it may not be worth filing a claim.

Most roofs in San Antonio last 15–25 years, depending on the material and local storm activity. Asphalt shingles typically last around 20 years, while metal and tile roofs can last 40 years or more with proper maintenance. Extreme heat, hail, and high winds in the area can shorten a roof’s lifespan if the roof isn’t regularly inspected.

The best roofing materials for San Antonio homes are those that withstand heat, hail, and strong storms:

  • Asphalt shingles: Affordable and versatile, lasting about 20 years.
  • Metal roofing: Energy-efficient, durable against hail, 40+ year lifespan.
  • Clay or concrete tile: Excellent for hot climates, highly durable, 50+ year lifespan.
  • Impact-resistant shingles: Designed for hail and storm protection.

Dolan Roofing & Construction installs all these systems and can recommend the best option based on your home’s needs and budget.

Dolan Roofing & Construction provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on all roof replacements, plus the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on roofing materials. As a proud member of the San Antonio community, our team stands behind every job with reliable local service and full warranty support. 

Commercial Roofing

How much does a commercial roof replacement cost in San Antonio?

commercial roof replacement in San Antonio can cost $10,000–$100,000+. This is because businesses and commercial properties vary so widely in terms of how large and complex their roofing systems are. The best way to determine the cost of a commercial roof replacement is to schedule a professional inspection.

Our commercial roofing team has years of experience installing all types of commercial roofing systems, including single-ply membranes like TPO and EPDM, as well as standing seam metal roofing. We install roofs on all types of commercial properties, including businesses, warehouses, industrial facilities, and even churches and multifamily properties.

A commercial roofing system will most often last from 15–30 years, though some commercial roofs can last for 40 years or longer. The main factors determining the longevity of a commercial roof is the material used, ongoing repairs and upkeep, and the weather and climate throughout the roof’s lifespan.

Common signs of commercial roof damage include leaks, interior water stains, visible damage to roofing membranes (such as cracks, tears, or blisters), or damage to roofing components such as flashing. Standing water is also a sign that a commercial roof’s drainage system is not working as it should.

In many cases, yes, a commercial roof repair can address commercial roof damage and leaks. Well-timed repairs can resolve ongoing issues, while proactive repairs can prevent problems from compounding at a much lower cost, adding years to the lifespan of a commercial roofing system.

Yes! For some commercial roofs, roof restoration may be an option, providing greater longevity than a roof repair at a much lower price point than a full roof replacement. The most common way to restore a commercial roof is by applying a roof coating.

A newly installed roof coating will typically last for around 10–20 years, depending on the type of coating, the condition of your commercial roof, and ongoing maintenance practices. This added lifespan is significantly longer than a roof repair would provide.

Commercial roofs have significant maintenance requirements, including regular inspections, cleaning and removal of debris, proactive repairs, and troubleshooting drainage systems. These maintenance tasks will keep the roof performing well and help to prevent leaks or other issues.

Absolutely! Our commercial roof maintenance program is designed to help local business owners and property managers get the most from their commercial roofing investment. Our maintenance program includes annual inspections, photo documentation, same-day repairs, and other key upkeep tasks to keep your roof performing as it should.

Insurance Claims & Emergency Roofing

How does Dolan Roofing & Construction help with insurance claims?

While we are NOT insurance adjusters and can’t file a claim on your behalf, we do everything in our power to help homeowners through the insurance claim process. That includes providing prompt, thorough inspections with full photo documentation, answering questions as needed, and coordinating our schedules to be present when your adjuster visits your property.

While it seems like a major headache, the insurance claim process is typically fairly straightforward:

  1. Schedule a storm damage inspection from a trusted roofer
  2. Determine whether damage is significant enough for a claim
  3. If it is, contact your insurance provider
  4. Complete the adjustment (make sure your roofer is present!)
  5. Complete your roof replacement
  6. Get your payment!

Yes, our team employs a 24/7 answering service to take your call any time, day or night. When we get an emergency roofing call, Dolan Roofing & Construction can typically respond the very same day to mitigate damage and protect your family until a roof replacement can be completed.

A roofing emergency is a situation where a roof has sustained major damage, exposing parts of the home’s interior to the outside elements. For example, a tree or large branch tears a hole through your roof to the attic, or part of your roof has collapsed or shows signs of structural weakness. 

Financing, Quotes, & Pricing

What roof financing options are available in San Antonio?

San Antonio homeowners can finance a roofing project in a variety of ways, including through personal loans, FHA loans, HELOCs, home equity loans, or lenders partnered with roofing companies, depending on their qualifications.

Yes, Dolan Roofing & Construction offers roof financing options for roof replacements and repairs through partners like Sunlight Financial and Enhancify. Financing is subject to credit approval, and homeowners should discuss details with a financial advisor before making a final decision.

Roof financing can help a major, unexpected roofing project better fit within your budget by splitting up payments over a longer period of time. This also helps homeowners avoid delaying roofing work and make repairs or complete a replacement when it’s needed.

Many homeowners qualify for financing, but whether you get a good interest rate will largely depend on your credit score. Some homeowners may be ineligible.
