Erik Lindgren leads our Roofing Company in San Antonio team. He’s built Birchbark around a simple idea: a roofing crew should leave your home looking like it did before we arrived, except for the part we fixed. That means shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, pet-safe products where there’s a choice, and a photo of the completed clean-up before we pull out of the driveway. We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independent local roofing businesses, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. Period.
Roofing Contractor
A Roofing Contractor is the licensed professional you hire when a roof needs repair, replacement, or ongoing care, and in San Antonio that work has to stand up to hail, high winds, and a summer sun that can cook shingles to the point of brittleness. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio works with materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with a written price already in your hands before a single shingle comes off. Most residential roof repairs in this market run $350 to $1,800. A full roof replacement on a typical San Antonio ranch-style home runs $8,000 to $18,000. You’ll know your number before we start.
What a Good Contractor Should Handle
We handle the full scope: leak diagnosis, shingle and flashing repair, full tear-offs, decking replacement, and new roof installation. We pull permits where required, coordinate with your insurance adjuster when that’s part of the picture, and walk you through every line item before work begins. No change orders that surprise you at the end.
When San Antonio Weather Demands Attention
San Antonio’s hail season runs March through May, and high winds off the Balcones Escarpment can loosen ridge caps even on newer roofs. After any storm that produces hail or wind over 60 miles per hour, a contractor should check for hidden damage before it becomes a ceiling stain. We’ll inspect and give you a written report with photos.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Inspection
A Roof Inspection is a systematic check of the roof’s surface, flashings, seals, and structural points to find damage before it finds you. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio performs inspections for homeowners who’ve just weathered a hailstorm with our Roofing Company - Converse team or in Alamo Heights, for buyers under contract on a new house, and for anyone who simply hasn’t had eyes on the roof in five years. A standard residential inspection runs $150 to $300, and that cost is credited toward any repair we perform as a result. You’ll get a written, photo-documented report in plain language, not roofing jargon.
What We Check, In Detail
We document shingle granulation loss, nail pops, cracked or lifted shingles, caulk failures around vent pipes and chimneys, and any soft spots in the decking. We also check attic ventilation from the inside, because half the roof problems in San Antonio start with airflow, not shingles. Every finding gets a photo and a plain-English explanation.
When to Book One
Book an inspection after any significant wind or hail event, before listing your home for sale, or right after you close on a new one. Waiting until you see a ceiling stain in Terrell Hills usually means water has been traveling for weeks and the repair bill just grew. A hundred and fifty dollars now against a two-thousand-dollar repair later is the math we recommend to everyone.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial Roofing covers flat and low-slope roof systems on offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-family buildings across the San Antonio area. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio installs and repairs modified bitumen, TPO, and metal systems, and we work with Boral and GAF materials on commercial scopes. Commercial repair pricing depends heavily on roof size and system type, but small leak repairs typically start around $500 and larger restoration projects run $4,000 to $25,000. We’ll walk the roof with you, identify the exact failure points, and give a written scope with line-item pricing.
Protecting What’s Under the Roof
We know a commercial roof covers inventory, employees, and a business that can’t stop running because a crew showed up. That’s why we schedule around your business hours, keep access points clear, and assign a project lead who gives you updates in real time. The Cedarwell Care Promise applies to every roof we touch, commercial or residential.
Common Commercial Failures We See
Poor drainage is the biggest one in San Antonio, where flat roofs hold water after heavy summer downpours. We also see a lot of seam failures in older TPO systems that were installed without proper heat-welding temperatures. If you manage a building in Live Oak or Kirby, call (903) 354-7802 and we’ll do a full assessment before recommending anything.
Metal Roof Installation
Metal Roof Installation is the process of replacing or installing a standing-seam or exposed-fastener metal roof, which reflects more heat and often outlasts asphalt shingles by two decades or more. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio installs metal roofs from Owens Corning and Tamko systems, and we’re seeing more homeowners in Selma and Windcrest choose metal for its fire resistance and the energy savings that come from reflecting West Texas heat. Metal roof installation in San Antonio generally runs $12,000 to $30,000 for a typical single-family home depending on roof complexity, pitch, and the metal profile you choose.
Why Metal Works in San Antonio’s Climate
Metal sheds heat fast. In a city where attic temperatures hit 140°F in July, that matters for your cooling bill and the lifespan of everything stored up there. We also like metal after hail seasons, because standing-seam panels shrug off impacts that would shred shingles.
What to Expect During the Install
Expect noise during the day while panels go down, and expect us to respect your quiet hours. We lay down a magnet sweeper around the perimeter at the end of every day to catch stray fasteners, because kids run through the yard barefoot and dogs sniff everything. That’s not optional on our crews. That’s the standard.
Residential Roofing
Residential Roofing is what most San Antonio homeowners call us for: shingle repair, flashing work, full replacements, and roof tune-ups on single-family homes. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio has been part of the Cedarwell family of roofing businesses since 2000, and Erik Lindgren runs every job against a simple standard: would we leave our own home looking like this? Residential repairs in the area typically run $350 to $1,800, and a full replacement of a standard 2,000-square-foot home lands between $8,000 and $18,000. Your written price comes before we start, always.
Protecting the Inside While We Work Outside
We put shoe covers on at the door and drop cloths through the hallway. We coordinate door schedules with you if the dog needs to stay inside. We use pet-safe products where there’s a choice. And we photograph the clean-up before we leave, so you can see your home looks like home again.
Working With Families in Mind
Kids are curious, which is why we keep ladders secured, tools out of reach, and debris contained in a designated zone. If you have specific concerns about timing around naps, school drop-off, or a home office, tell us. We build the work schedule around your life, not the other way around.
Roof Maintenance
Roof Maintenance is the ongoing care that extends the life of an existing roof: clearing debris, resealing flashings, checking fasteners, and catching small wear before it becomes a water intrusion. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio offers annual and semi-annual Roofing Company Maintenance Checklist for San Antonio Homeowners plans for homeowners who want a set-it-and-forget-it schedule. A single roof maintenance visit in the San Antonio area runs $250 to $500 including a written condition report with photos. If we find something that needs repair, you’ll get a line-item quote before anyone touches a tool.
Preventative Checks That Save You Money
We reseal caulk joints around pipes, vents, and chimneys. We re-seat lifted shingles. We clear gutters and downspouts enough to keep water flowing away from the foundation, which is a bigger deal in places like Castle Hills and Leon Valley where clay soils shift with rain. All of it is documented.
Why Scheduling Twice a Year Matters Here
San Antonio gets hail in spring and heavy wind in fall. Two inspections a year catches both seasons’ damage. Most insurance claims go smoother when you can show maintenance records, too. We’ll send reminders when your next visit comes due.
Roof Coating
Roof Coating is a protective liquid-applied membrane, usually silicone or acrylic, that seals a roof’s surface, reflects UV radiation, and extends its service life by reducing thermal stress. Birchbark Roofing San Antonio applies roof coatings on both commercial low-slope systems and some residential applications where the existing roof is sound but aging. Coating a roof in this market generally runs $2 to $6 per square foot depending on the product and substrate condition, so a 2,000-square-foot roof falls in the $4,000 to $12,000 range. We’ll inspect the roof first and tell you honestly whether coating makes sense or whether repair or replacement is the better use of your money.
Silicone vs. Acrylic, in Plain Terms
Silicone costs more but resists ponding water and holds up to San Antonio’s UV intensity for 15 to 20 years. Acrylic is cheaper and effective on roofs with good drainage, but it doesn’t like standing water. We recommend based on your roof’s actual condition and drainage pattern, not on what we’d rather sell.
When to Choose Coating Over Replacement
If your roof’s decking is dry and structurally sound but the membrane is aging, coating is often the right call. It costs a fraction of a tear-off and skips the dumpster in your driveway. But if we find wet insulation or decking, coating would be a bandage over a broken bone, and we’ll tell you that directly.
Free Roof Estimate
A Free Roof Estimate from Birchbark Roofing San Antonio is a written, line-item price for your repair or replacement, delivered before any work begins and good for a full year, with no obligation to move forward. You call (903) 354-7802, we schedule a walk-through at a time that works for you, and our technician spends time on the roof and in the attic gathering real measurements and photos. Then you get a number in dollars. Not a range, not a vague verbal guess. A written price.
What You’ll See on Your Estimate
Your estimate lists material type and brand, decking replacement if needed, flashing work, disposal, labor, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. No hidden fees, no change orders that appear mid-job because we “found something.” If we find a concern during the walk-through, we show you photos and explain the cost in the room before asking for a decision.
Why Our Estimate Process Is Different
Most roofing estimates in San Antonio are a range thrown out over the phone. Ours starts with a full inspection and ends with a document you can hold. Erik Lindgren set the standard: every homeowner gets the same thorough walk-through and written price whether they book the job or not.

AfterBrands We Service
We work extensively with GAF shingle systems, and our crews have installed their Timberline line on hundreds of San Antonio homes. We’re trained on GAF’s proper nailing patterns and accessory requirements, which matters more than most homeowners realize, because improper fastening is what voids warranties.
We also install CertainTeed and Owens Corning products, both of which perform well in the South Texas heat. CertainTeed’s Landmark series is a favorite for its granule retention under heavy sun, and Owens Corning’s Duration line handles wind uplift well, a real consideration along the I-35 corridor. Whether you have a brand preference or want our recommendation based on your roof’s pitch and exposure, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water staining on ceilings or upper walls. This means water has already penetrated your roof deck and is flowing along the framing. By the time it’s visible inside, the leak has usually been active for days or weeks. Call before the stain spreads.
- Granules piling up in gutters or at downspout elbows. Shingle granules protect the asphalt from UV breakdown. When they’re washing off, the clock on your roof is running fast. You may have five good years left, or one. We’ll tell you which.
- Lifted or missing shingles after wind. A single missing shingle lets water under the rows around it, and those adjacent shingles start lifting next. The repair is small today and exponentially larger after the next storm.
- Sagging areas or visible dips in the roofline. That suggests decking failure underneath, which is structural. You’ll want someone on the roof now, not after the next heavy rain. The Cedarwell Care Promise means we’ll set shoe covers and drop cloths before we explore anything.
- Daylight through the attic boards. If you can see the sky from inside your attic, water is getting in wherever light gets in. It also means you’re losing conditioned air through the same holes. Both problems compound every month.
Our Process, Step by Step
Birchbark Roofing San Antonio runs every job through the same five steps, whether it’s a small repair in Kirby or a full roof replacement in Lackland AFB. The process exists so nothing surprises you.
Step 1: Call and Speak to a Person
Dial (903) 354-7802 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No phone tree, no voicemail box, no waiting until Monday. Tell us what you’re seeing and we’ll schedule a walk-through.
Step 2: On-Site Walk-Through
Our technician arrives in uniform, introduces themselves, and spends real time on your roof and in your attic. We document everything with photos and take measurements. You’re welcome to walk the roof with us if you’d like, or we can review findings together at the kitchen table afterward.
Step 3: Written Price, Line by Line
You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, disposal, and every other charge in dollars. We never provide a price after starting work. This is the C.A.R.E. value in action: Explain the price before the work.
Step 4: Careful Work, Clean Process
Shoe covers on. Drop cloths down. Debris contained. We use pet-safe products where available and keep the work zone tidy at the end of every day. Ask before we move or touch anything, respect your quiet hours, and clean up like it’s our own home.
Step 5: Clean-Up Photo and Done Right Promise
Before we leave, we photograph the completed clean-up and walk the site with you. Your 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing. If something isn’t right within a year, we make it right.
How Much Does Roofing Company Cost in San Antonio?
A typical roof repair in San Antonio runs $350 to $1,800 depending on the leak’s location, the type of shingle, and whether flashing replacement is required. A full roof replacement on an average single-family home in the area runs $8,000 to $18,000, with metal roof installation at $12,000 to $30,000. Roof inspections run $150 to $300, maintenance visits $250 to $500, and roof coating runs $2 to $6 per square foot. These are the ranges we see across Alamo Heights, Live Oak, Terrell Hills, and with our Roofing Company in Universal City serving the rest of the San Antonio metro.
What moves the price? Roof pitch and height, the number of penetrations like vents and skylights, the cost to access steep sections, and whether decking needs replacing once we open the roof. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item estimate and ask what each item covers. Ours is free, and it includes the exact material, exact scope, and exact number, with the 365-Day Done Right Promise behind it. Call (903) 354-7802 and we’ll walk you through it.
