Replacing a roof in Central Texas is a very different project than swapping shingles in the Pacific Northwest. Materials, labor rates, weather windows, and even municipal permit fees follow their own local logic. Homeowners and contractors who lean on national averages quickly discover how far those numbers can stray from reality. That is why CountBricks built an end-to-end estimating platform that speaks fluent San Antonio—capturing real-time supplier pricing, local code requirements, and the city’s unique climate stresses in a single AI-powered workflow.
• Asphalt shingle re-roof: $5.00 – $7.50 per square foot installed
• Metal standing-seam roof: $9.50 – $14.00 per square foot installed
• Concrete or clay tile roof: $12.00 – $18.00 per square foot installed
• Synthetic slate or composite shake: $10.00 – $15.00 per square foot installed
These brackets reflect typical home footprints between 1,800 – 3,000 square feet, moderate roof complexity, and 30-year manufacturer warranties. CountBricks pulls today’s supplier pricing every time you create an estimate, so the numbers you see are anchored to market reality, not last quarter’s spreadsheet.
1. Roof geometry: Valleys, dormers, and low-slope sections add labor hours and waste material. CountBricks’ blueprint takeoff engine measures every plane in seconds, eliminating the guesswork.
2. Tear-off complexity: Two or more existing shingle layers, brittle decking, or asbestos underlayment increase disposal costs. Our AI prompts you to confirm tear-off conditions during your voice walkthrough so no line item is forgotten.
3. Underlayment upgrades: Ice-and-water shield is rarely code-mandated in San Antonio, yet it offers critical hail protection. CountBricks automatically suggests cost-efficient membrane options based on your zip code’s hail rating.
4. Ventilation strategy: Ridge vents, solar fans, and gable louvers each carry different price tags. Our material library auto-adjusts the counts and costs as you toggle options.
5. Warranty tier: A 30-year architectural shingle is not the same investment as a class-4 impact-rated laminated shingle. CountBricks inserts manufacturer-specific SKUs with corresponding labor multipliers, giving clients transparent upgrade paths.
Instead of juggling clipboards or punching numbers into a tablet, simply speak to the CountBricks mobile app while you walk the property. The AI translates your observations—roof pitch, decking condition, soffit damage—into quantifiable line items. That frees you to focus on client rapport rather than data entry.

San Antonio may not see snow loads, but roofs here battle high UV, hurricane-residual winds, and hailstones big enough to end a weekend barbecue. In 2023 alone, Bexar County recorded more than 45 severe hail events. CountBricks keeps a live feed of building code amendments and insurance data so your estimate addresses:
• Minimum uplift resistance for fasteners
• Required drip-edge metal gauges
• Ventilation ratios per square foot of attic space
• Decking nailing schedules after hail claims
• Class-4 impact shingles can drop homeowner premiums by up to 25 %—a compelling ROI many clients overlook.
• Adding high-temperature peel-and-stick underlayment to valley lines only raises total cost by about $0.35 per square foot yet doubles leak resistance.
• Switching from static box vents to continuous ridge vents improves attic airflow with minimal material cost difference.
• Tear-off and disposal: $1.00 / sq ft = $2,200
• 30-year architectural shingles: $2.25 / sq ft = $4,950
• Underlayment and ice shield: $0.65 / sq ft = $1,430
• Flashing, vents, drip edge: Lump-sum $1,250
• Labor and overhead: $2.00 / sq ft = $4,400
• Permit and inspection: $250
Total Estimated Roof Replacement Cost San Antonio: $14,480

A recent CountBricks client in Stone Oak needed to replace a fifteen-year-old asphalt roof bruised by hail. The roofing contractor had 48 hours to deliver a formal quote to secure the insurance work.
• Complex L-shaped footprint with multiple dormers
• Adjuster scope used outdated unit prices
• Homeowner requested upgrade to class-4 impact shingles
1. The contractor opened the CountBricks mobile app and completed a voice walkthrough in 12 minutes, noting decking softness near the chimney and two skylights that needed reflashing.
2. A PDF of the original home plans was uploaded. CountBricks’ blueprint engine generated an exact 3,175 sq ft takeoff in under five minutes.
3. Live supplier pricing pulled impact-rated shingles at $137 per square, $18 less than the adjuster’s allowance. The AI flagged this variance and suggested a supplement line that satisfied the carrier.
4. A branded proposal with optional financing links was emailed to the homeowner the same afternoon, beating three competitors to the punch.
• 60 % reduction in estimate prep time compared to the contractor’s previous manual workflow
• $2,150 additional revenue captured through approved supplements
• Homeowner signed within 24 hours, praising the clear cost breakdown and upgrade options
