Roofing

The beautiful San Antonio houses that catch your eye are in no small part more attractive because of their roofs. Some pay homage to the traditional Spanish style, with clay or cement tiles. Others use beautiful, deep-cut architectural shingles. Some cleverly use metal in its many guises for long-lasting, durable protection. Choosing the right roof for your home means balancing tile, asphalt or metal roofing price, visual appeal, and a few other factors you may not have considered.

Tile

Choose a tile roof if you:

  • Have a traditional Spanish, Asian or Mission style architecture
  • Plan to remain with your home long enough that the high up-front cost of tile roofing material and installation can be recouped
  • Know that your home has the structural roofing support to carry the weight of clay or cement tile

Green

A “green” roof may mean several things, such as a flat roof with garden boxes, a flat roof fitted with sod, or a solar roof. Choose a green roof if you:

  • Feel strongly about reducing your carbon footprint
  • Welcome insects and animals to be part of your property and life

Shingles

Choose asphalt-fiberglass shingles if you:

  • Plan to sell your home within the next five to ten years
  • Need the least expensive roofing material and installation cost among the most popular roofing materials
  • Are very particular about colors, as asphalt-fiberglass shingles offer the widest range of color availability
  • Think your tastes in roof texture and color may change in roughly 20 years, when you will probably need to replace a shingle roof

Metal

Choose metal roofing if you:

  • Understand that metal roofing price is actually lower over the lifetime of your roof than asphalt-shingle roofing, due to metal roofing’s longevity
  • Plan to remain in your home, or hand it down within your family, for fifty years or more
  • Are intrigued by metal’s ability to mimic shingles, shakes, tile and other materials
  • Desire high energy efficiency—metal roofing can reflect significant heat away from your San Antonio home, so calculating metal roofing price needs to include an offset in lower central air conditioning bills
  • Want the highest level of fire protection for your home and family
