San Antonio & the Texas Hill Country • Licensed & Insured
Complete re-roofing services across San Antonio. Full tear-off and replacement when your existing roof has reached the end of its life.
A re-roof - also called an overlay or recover - involves installing a new layer of shingles directly over the existing shingles without removing the old material. This approach is faster and less expensive than a full tear-off and replacement, and it can be a good option in specific circumstances. Strong Roofing Texas evaluates every re-roof project carefully to determine whether it’s the right approach for your home.
Re-roofing is appropriate when the existing shingles are in reasonably good condition with no significant curling or damage, the roof deck is sound, and the home has only one existing layer of shingles. San Antonio building codes and most manufacturer warranties limit roofs to two layers of shingles. If your home already has two layers, a full tear-off is required.
The primary advantage of a re-roof is cost - eliminating the tear-off and disposal costs can reduce the total project cost by 20–30%. The tradeoff is that any existing deck issues won’t be visible or addressable, and the additional weight of a second shingle layer adds load to the roof structure. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons for your specific situation.
We photograph every slope and valley, then send you the report either way.
So there are no surprises on the invoice. This is what a re-roof from us covers.
We don’t use subcontractors. The people who turn up for your re-roof are our own crew, trained and insured by us. If something needs looking at in year six, you’re calling the same company that did the job.
When a roof reaches the end of its service life - typically 20–25 years for standard asphalt shingles in the Texas heat - patching and repairing becomes a losing battle. A full re-roof gives you a fresh start: new underlayment, new flashing, new shingles, and a new manufacturer warranty. We do full tear-off on every re-roof - not overlay - so we can inspect the decking, repair any damaged sheathing, and ensure the new roof system is installed on a solid foundation.
So you know what’s happening at each stage.
We measure, assess deck condition, and provide a detailed written estimate with material options.
We remove all existing roofing material down to the decking and haul away all debris.
We inspect and repair any damaged or soft decking before installation begins.
New underlayment, flashing, and roofing material are installed per manufacturer specs.
Overlay traps moisture, adds weight, and hides deck problems. Full tear-off gives you a clean foundation and is required for manufacturer warranties.
Most residential re-roofs are completed in one day. Larger homes may take two days.
You don’t need to be present, but we recommend being available for the morning walkthrough and final inspection.
