Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Selma
Finding a roofing company in Selma, TX that treats your home carefully matters as much as the repair itself. Birchbark Roofing works across every Selma neighborhood, from the older streets of Olympia Hills to the newer homes near Retama Springs and Retama Park. We know the roofs here. We know the hail damage, the aging 3-tab shingles, and the decking problems that hide under what looks like a simple tear-off. When you call (903) 354-7802, a live person answers. We schedule a straight-line estimate, give you a written price before any work starts, and never ask you to trust a handshake on anything.
Why Birchbark Roofing San Antonio Is Selma’s Preferred Roofing Company
Selma homeowners don’t need a generic crew that rolls in from across the county with no sense of the neighborhood. They need a Roofing Company team that knows what a 2003 tract home on Athena Drive has that a 2019 custom build near Retama Park doesn’t: original 7/16″ sheathing, single-layer 3-tab, and twenty years of Hail Alley weather working against both.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so the person at your door is the person we said would be there. We put shoe covers on at the entry, drop cloths through the hallway, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave. Erik Lindgren leads the team with a simple standard: if the work isn’t right, we make it right for a full 365 days under our Done Right Promise. That guarantee is stamped on every roof we touch in Selma.
We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our San Antonio office, and our crews serve Selma locally. When hail hits the I-35 corridor, we’re already tracking which subdivisions caught the worst of it. You’ll see our ladder trucks working block by block alongside other local crews, but with one difference: our price is in writing before a single shingle comes off.
Styles & brands we work with






Roofing Contractor in Selma
A roofing contractor in Selma does more than nail shingles. On the older homes, the real job starts under the shingles. If the decking is soft, the new roof won’t last no matter what goes on top. We strip, inspect, and show you the deck before we cover it.
Full roof replacements in Selma typically run $11,500 to $24,000 depending on size, pitch, decking condition, and material. Repairs usually fall between $350 and $1,800. You’ll see your exact number in writing before we order anything.
Decking Inspection and Replacement
Many early-2000s Selma homes were built with 7/16″ OSB sheathing. Current code calls for 15/32″. That eighth-inch difference matters after moisture and time. When we find flex, we replace it, document it, and flag it for your adjuster before flashing and shingles go down.
Shingle and Underlayment Work
We carry GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning architectural shingles, plus ice and water shield and synthetic underlayment. In Selma wind zones, the starter strip and nailing pattern are what keep the first course down in a spring storm.
Roof Inspection in Selma
A roof inspection in Selma should look for what the last storm did and what the next one will find. We don’t walk the roof with a clipboard and a shrug. We document granule loss, check the nailing pattern along the rake, and check for deck flex where a straightedge should lay flat.
Inspection cost in Selma sits between $175 and $400. After a hailstorm, the inspection is usually part of the claim process, and we walk your adjuster through what we measured.
Post-Storm and Hail Claim Inspections
After a hail event, whole streets in Olympia Hills and Retama Springs file within days. We photograph impact fractures, measure granule loss, and give you a written inspection report your adjuster can actually use.
Pre-Purchase and Aging Roof Inspections
If you’re buying in Selma, the inspection should answer one question: what is the remaining life on the decking and the shingles together. Not just the shingles. We inspect both and give you a dollar-figure range for what comes next.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
Birchbark works with materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Selma homes, we mostly install GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles. Those handle the hail and wind better than 3-tab, and they’re what insurers ask for after a claim. We stock common colors and materials for fast local turnaround, so you’re not waiting on a truck from across the state.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Hidden decking rot under old 3-tab. Early-2000s homes in original Olympia Hills sections often still have original shingles and 7/16″ OSB. The shingles look tired, but the decking underneath is the expensive part.
- Wind-lifted shingles along the rake and eave. Spring storm season in Selma brings gusting wind that peels the first course when the starter strip was skipped or nailed wrong.
- Half-done attic ventilation. Some crews quote a ridge vent, then reuse the existing box vents. The attic stays hot, the new shingles cook from below, and the warranty quietly shrinks.
- Drip edge and fascia damage. If a previous crew nailed through the drip edge into the fascia, the aluminum splits and water gets behind the gutter. We see this a lot on Selma homes re-roofed too fast after a storm.
Pricing for Roofing Company in Selma, TX
Roof repairs in Selma run $350 to $1,800 for typical shingle, flashing, or small deck work. A full replacement on a standard one-story, 1,800-square-foot home sits between $11,500 and $17,000. Two-story custom homes or tile conversions run higher, typically $18,000 to $24,000. The big variable is decking. Hidden 7/16″ OSB replacement can add $2,000 to $5,000, and that’s the number nobody wants to discover after the tear-off. We quote decking condition in writing before the shingles are ordered, and any change order is shown to you before work continues. Call (903) 354-7802 for a free estimate with a written price.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Selma
Hail storms track along the I-35 corridor, so entire subdivisions get hit at once. Older sections of Olympia Hills and newer homes near Retama Park often file claims within days of each other. Insurers send adjusters block by block, and roofers follow. The clustering isn’t random; it’s the path of the storm.
Yes. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s with original 3-tab shingles also have 7/16″ OSB decking that’s now twenty years old. The shingles and decking age together. A full inspection measures deflection, checks for soft spots, and shows you which sheets need replacement before the new roof covers them. Call (903) 354-7802 to schedule that inspection.
Selma sits in a wind zone that requires six nails per shingle, not four, along eaves, rakes, and ridges. Starter strips are also required along the entire perimeter. If a crew skips those, the first course lifts in the next wind event. We verify the nailing pattern on every install and document it.
The decking. Once the old shingles come off, hidden deck rot and undersized 7/16″ OSB show up. If it wasn’t quoted before the tear-off, it becomes a change order. On a typical Selma home, that can add $2,000 to $5,000. We quote deck condition before ordering shingles so the number is fixed in writing.
Yes. Ice and water shield isn’t only for ice. In Selma, wind-driven rain pushes water up under the shingles at valleys and rakes. The shield seals around fasteners and prevents that water from reaching the decking. It’s cheap insurance on any Texas valley, ice or no ice.
