Roof Repair in San Antonio - Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Trusted Roof Repair for San Antonio Homeowners

Roof repair in San Antonio usually means one of two things: a leak that’s already dripping into your hallway, or a spot on the roof you noticed and want fixed before it becomes a leak. Either way, you’ll want a written price before anyone picks up a hammer, not a vague estimate that changes once the work begins. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio has repaired roofs across the city since joining the Cedarwell family of independent roofing businesses in 2000. Our crews arrive in uniforms with background checks already done, put shoe covers on at your door, lay drop cloths through your hallway, and send you a photo of the finished clean-up before they pull out of the driveway. If water is coming in right now, call us at (903) 354-7802 and a live person will answer, day or night.

Roof Leak Repair

Roof Leak Repair is the work of finding where water is getting through your roof and sealing that entry point so it can’t get through again. In San Antonio, leaks often show up after a hard Hill Country thunderstorm rolls through, when water that’s been pooling around a pipe boot or a lifted shingle finally finds its way inside. You’ll usually notice it as a brown stain on the ceiling, a drip in the attic, or peeling paint near a chimney. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio starts every Leak Repair by tracing the water path from the inside, because the stain on your ceiling is rarely directly under the hole in your roof.

Most residential roof leak repairs in San Antonio run between $250 and $650, depending on how far the water has traveled under the decking and how many layers of shingle need to come up. You’ll see your exact number in writing before we start, and if the dog needs to stay inside, we coordinate the door schedule with you.

Where Water Sneaks In

Pipe boots, vent flashing, and skylight seals are the usual suspects. We check those first because they fail far more often than the shingles themselves.

Valleys where two roof slopes meet are another common entry point. Debris builds up there, holds moisture, and slowly rusts the metal underneath.

Ceiling Stain, Roof Hole

Water travels along rafters and trusses before it drips down, so a stain near the living room window could mean a puncture near the peak. We map the water path before we open anything up.

That means less guessing, less exploratory cutting, and a smaller repair bill. You’re not paying us to hunt with a saw.

Emergency Roof Repair

Emergency Roof Repair is the immediate response when your roof has failed and water is actively entering your home, whether that’s from a fallen limb, a wind-driven storm, or a puncture that opened up overnight. In San Antonio, spring and fall storm lines can drop hail and push 60-mph gusts across neighborhoods like Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills, and that’s when we get most of our emergency calls. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio answers the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends. No voicemail trees, no next-business-day callbacks.

Emergency repairs that involve tarping and temporary sealing typically run $400 to $900 in San Antonio, depending on roof size and how much of it needs covering. A permanent repair afterward falls in the normal repair ranges. We’ll give you a written price for the emergency work before we touch anything.

Same-Night Tarping

When water is coming through the ceiling, the priority is stopping it fast. We bring heavy-duty tarps, secure them properly, and photograph everything we did.

You’ll know exactly what’s covered, what’s still exposed, and what the next step is before we leave.

After the Storm Passes

Once the weather clears, we come back and do the permanent repair. The tarp buys you time; the real fix is what keeps the leak gone.

Every job, including the temporary one, gets the same clean-up standard: drop cloths, shoe covers, and a photo of the finished site.

Flat Roof Repair

Flat Roof Repair addresses leaks, ponding water, and seam failures on low-slope roofing systems like modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM. San Antonio has thousands of flat roofs on older homes in Castle Hills and Leon Valley, plus commercial storefronts across the city, and they all share one enemy: standing water. A flat roof that holds water after a rain is a flat roof that’s slowly deteriorating. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio repairs flat roofs by first finding the low spots where water pools, because that’s almost always where the membrane is failing.

Flat roof repairs in San Antonio typically run $350 to $1,200, depending on whether we’re doing a Flat Roof Patch, replacing a section of membrane, or rebuilding a low spot to encourage drainage. You’ll see a written price before any work starts.

Ponding Water and Seams

Water that sits for more than 48 hours on a flat roof is actively working its way through the membrane. UV exposure breaks down the seam laps over time, and ponding accelerates it.

We inspect the seams first, then the penetrations, then the membrane field itself. Most leaks on flat roofs come from the first two.

TPO and Modified Bitumen

TPO roofs fail most often at the heat-welded seams, especially if they were installed in cold weather and never fully bonded. We can re-weld or patch those seams cleanly.

Modified bitumen roofs fail more at flashing points and low spots. We torch or cold-apply patches, depending on the system, and make sure the repair sheds water the way birch bark did for early settlers: light, tough, and made to move water off.

Shingle Roof Repair

Shingle Roof Repair covers damage to asphalt shingle roofs, from missing tabs and wind-lift to hail bruising and granular loss. San Antonio’s climate is hard on asphalt shingles. The summer heat bakes them to 160 degrees on a July afternoon, and the same sun that browns your St. Augustine lawn is cooking the asphalt in your shingles. Hairline cracks form, granules come loose, and eventually water finds the fiberglass mat underneath. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio handles Shingle Replacement in the matching color and style whenever possible, using materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and other major manufacturers.

Shingle roof repairs in San Antonio typically run $200 to $500 for a small area of 10-20 shingles, and $500 to $1,200 for larger sections or repairs that require replacing flashing. The written price we give you before starting is the price you pay.

Hail and Wind Lift

Hail leaves circular bruises where granules are knocked off, and those bruises become weak spots that crack within a season or two. Wind lift bends shingles up, breaks the seal strip, and leaves edges flapping.

We check for both after any storm with hail or high winds, even if you don’t see a leak yet. Caught early, it’s a $300 repair instead of a $700 one down the road.

Matching Your Existing Roof

We’ll match the shingle color and style as closely as the manufacturer still allows. On older roofs, some colors are discontinued, and we’ll show you the closest match before we install it.

If your roof is more than 15 years old, we’ll also tell you honestly whether patching makes sense or whether you’re better served by saving that money toward a replacement. We’d rather give you a straight answer than a patch that lasts one season.

Storm Damage Roof Repair

Storm Damage Roof Repair is the repair work needed after wind, hail, or falling debris has damaged your roof, whether immediately or as a slow leak that appears days later. San Antonio sits on the edge of Tornado Alley, and we see our share of severe storms, especially in the spring when cold fronts collide with Gulf moisture. Hail the size of quarters, straight-line winds over 50 mph, and tree limbs are the big three. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio handles storm damage repair from the first call through the final nail, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 when a storm has just come through.

Storm damage repairs in San Antonio range from $250 for a few blown-off shingles to $1,800 or more for structural damage around a fallen limb. You’ll get a written price for the repair before we begin, and we’ll document the damage thoroughly for your insurance claim if you file one.

Working With Your Insurance Claim

We’ll photograph the damage, write up what we found, and give you a repair scope you can hand to your adjuster. You don’t have to navigate the insurance process alone, and we’re glad to meet your adjuster on-site.

We’ll also point out anything the adjuster might have missed, because our job is to make sure your roof gets fully repaired, not just the parts the insurance company noticed first.

Delayed Damage Shows Up Later

Hail damage often doesn’t leak for months, until the bruised shingles crack all the way through and rain finally works past the decking. Wind damage can leave shingles lifted and flapping, which lets water under the adjacent tabs every time it rains.

If you had a storm roll through this year and haven’t had your roof looked at, a damage inspection is a cheaper call than a ceiling repair.

Metal Roof Repair

Metal Roof Repair fixes leaks, loose fasteners, and rust through-panels on metal roofing systems, including standing seam, R-panel, and corrugated. Metal roofs are common in San Antonio on newer homes in Stone Oak and on agricultural buildings around Selma and Kirby. They’re durable, but they’re not indestructible. The most frequent failure we see is at the fasteners, which have rubber washers that degrade under Texas sun and eventually let water wick down into the roof deck.

Metal roof repairs in San Antonio typically run $300 to $1,000, depending on whether we’re replacing washers and screws, resealing a seam, or cutting out and replacing a rusted panel section. The written price comes before any work starts.

Screws, Washers, and Seams

On exposed-fastener metal roofs, the neoprene washers under the screw heads are the weak link. After 10 to 15 years of San Antonio heat, they crack and fall away, leaving a funnel for water.

We replace the entire fastener set on the affected panels, not just the ones that look bad, because the ones that look fine are usually months away from failing too.

Standing Seam Rust

Standing seam roofs can rust at the panel ends and at any place where two dissimilar metals touch. Left alone, rust through-panels let water into the roof deck, and then you’re replacing decking instead of repairing a panel.

We cut out the rusted section, install a matching replacement panel, and seal the seams cleanly. If we can’t match the panel profile because it’s been discontinued, we’ll give you options before we cut anything.

Commercial Roof Repair

Commercial Roof Repair covers leak repair and preventive maintenance on flat and low-slope commercial roofing systems across San Antonio, from small retail centers to warehouse roofs. Commercial roofs are different from residential ones in one key way: they fail slowly and quietly, usually starting at the penetrations, the edges, and the low spots where water collects. By the time water shows up inside the building, the repair is bigger than it would have been six months earlier. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio works on TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal commercial systems.

Commercial roof repairs in San Antonio vary widely, from $500 for a seam patch to $5,000 or more for a larger membrane replacement. We’ll do a full inspection, map every problem area, and give you a written repair price before any work happens.

Tenant Drips and Mystery Leaks

A drip over a retail counter or a warehouse rack usually starts somewhere far away and travels along the deck. We trace the full water path, so the repair addresses the true entry point.

We’ll also check adjacent roof drains and scuppers, because a clogged drain can back up water and create leaks in places that were never exposed to rain.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

If your building needs a roof that lasts, we’ll set you up on a maintenance schedule: inspect twice a year, reseal seams as needed, clear debris and drains, and document everything. The roof lasts longer, and the leaks stay rare.

Every visit still gets the Cedarwell Care Promise: background-checked technicians, a written price for any repair, and a clean-up photo before we leave the property.

Brands We Service

We’ve worked with GAF shingles for years, from Timberline architectural lines to older GAF products that are now discontinued. When we repair a GAF roof, we use GAF-compatible materials and installation details that preserve what’s left of the manufacturer’s warranty where possible.

CertainTeed is another common roof in San Antonio, especially in the Landmark and XT lines. We know the granular chemistry of CertainTeed’s shingles well enough to match color and texture on repairs that blend into the surrounding roof. And Owens Corning’s Duration and Oakridge lines show up constantly on homes around Live Oak and Windcrest. We stock the OEM accessories for these brands and know exactly how they should be installed. Whether you have one of these brands or any other, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Water stains on your ceiling or walls. A brown ring or drip line means water is already inside your home. The longer it sits, the more it soaks your drywall, your insulation, and your framing.
• Granules in your gutters or downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and a heavy concentration in your gutters means your shingles are wearing thin. Once the mat shows through, leaks follow.
• Missing, cracked, or curled shingles. Any shingle that’s no longer lying flat is a water entry point. One missing tab can let water under the neighboring shingles and rot the deck slowly.
• Daylight through your attic boards. If you can see sunlight from inside your attic, water can get through the same gaps. This is a free inspection step that catches problems early.
• Sagging or soft spots on your roof deck. A roof that flexes when you walk on it or shows visible sag between rafters has structural moisture damage. That’s not a repair to postpone.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   We listen and inspect. You call, a live person answers, and we schedule a time to come out. We walk the roof, check the attic, and map every problem area before we quote anything.
2. 2
   We write the price down. You get a written price in dollars before any work starts, along with a scope of exactly what we’ll do. No verbal ballparks, no change orders after the fact.
3. 3
   We protect your home. Shoe covers go on at the door, drop cloths go down through the hallway, and any materials go in a protected staging area. If pets or kids need to stay inside, we work around their schedule.
4. 4
   We do the repair carefully. The crew follows the scope, uses manufacturer-approved materials, and keeps the work area clean throughout. If something changes, we talk to you first and write it down before doing anything different.
5. 5
   We photograph the clean-up. Before the crew leaves, they photograph the finished work and the cleaned-up site. You get that photo, so there’s no question about what the crew left behind. Then the 365-Day Done Right Promise kicks in.
