Metal Roofing in San Antonio, Bexar County — 78230, 78248, 78249, 78254, 78255, 78256, 78257, 78258. Standing-seam metal runs continuous panels from ridge to eave with concealed fasteners locked into raised seams. Done right it's often the last roof a house needs.
Metal in San Antonio is mostly a premium residential and light commercial choice. Modern matte Kynar finishes in slate gray, dark bronze and charcoal look nothing like the silver barn metal people picture, and several HOAs here now approve them.

What San Antonio roofs deal with
The local pressure on a San Antonio roof is aging 1990s stock, old layers and shortcut flashing.
Housing age drives everything here. Inside Loop 410 we're often dealing with multiple old layers, plank decking, and original flashing details that were never right. Out past 1604 the roofs are newer but were built fast, and we see a lot of shortcut flashing and under-ventilated attics.
Tile is common west of 1604 — the Dominion, Shavano Park, and parts of Cibolo Canyon. Tile is forgiving on UV and lasts decades, but it's brittle in hail and the underlayment underneath usually fails long before the tile does.
What it costs in San Antonio
Metal generally runs roughly two to three times asphalt per square foot, commonly $24,000–$55,000 on a typical home here, against a 50-year service life instead of 20. Every estimate we write is itemized, in writing, and free — including the ones where we tell you that you don't need the work yet.
