Which county, which appraisal district, and how Alamo Heights permits your roof

Inside the city, your roof answers to one office. The Alamo Heights Community Development Services, at City Hall, 6116 Broadway, works from the adopted International codes.
Roof Repair & Replacement in Alamo Heights
Alamo Heights voted itself into existence in 1922 and was essentially built out by 1950, so the housing stock is dominated by homes from the 1920s through the 1940s — from the Cottage District where development began in 1908 to the annexed streets of Bluebonnet Hills and Sylvan Hills. That's a full generation older than most of the metro. Our roofers run repair, replacement, and maintenance through the San Antonio residential team, and on a home this age we walk your attic before we quote.
Your pre-war roof isn't just old shingles — it's plank decking and framing that's carried four or five roofs. The full process is on our residential roofing in Texas page; when your fix is smaller, San Antonio roof repair is the first step.
On your street, which the 2016 softball hail actually reached, a UL 2218 Class 4 shingle is worth the conversation — it costs only the material difference on a replacement, and many Texas carriers discount your premium for it. Compare roof replacement with metal roofing, or read the Class 4 guide.
The 2016 Hail Didn't Pass Nearby — It Hit Here
Most neighborhoods talk about the April 12, 2016 storm as something that happened across town. Your neighborhood can't: the National Weather Service record shows the largest stones — up to softball size — fell near Helotes and Leon Valley and east in Alamo Heights. The storm caused an estimated $1.36 billion in insured losses, the costliest hailstorm in Texas history at the time, and a second major hailstorm followed two weeks later.
That history is exactly why documentation matters on your next claim. If anyone offers to "take care of your deductible," walk away: under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02 that's a crime, and Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 requires you to pay it. We photograph, measure, and write the scope in Xactimate — the platform your adjuster uses. Start at storm damage repair or read the roof insurance claims process.
Redecking & Seamless Gutters — the Pre-1950 Part
Homes from the 1920s–40s were decked with individual planks, and after a century of nail holes and previous tear-offs, some of that decking is done. The city knows it too — Alamo Heights' permit rules name "reshingling and redecking" explicitly. We scope decking honestly before work starts, price it in writing, and photograph what we find when the shingles come off. And under Olmos Basin's tall canopy, we pair reroofs with seamless gutters cut on-site to your fascia.
Do You Need a Roof Permit in Alamo Heights?
Yes — the city's permit rules list roofing explicitly, covering both reshingling and redecking, through Community Development Services at City Hall, 6116 Broadway, via the My Government Online portal. Contractors must register with the city, with insurance naming the city, before working here. Between the registration wall and the paperwork, this is not a city where a storm-chasing crew wants to work legally. We're registered, we file, we schedule inspections, and you get the paper trail — including the deck photos — when the job closes.
Why Alamo Heights Roofs Are Different
Your pre-war roof means old structure — plank decking, framing that's carried four or five roofs — under some of the tallest trees in Bexar County, in a city that requires the redecking permit. That's why we scope your deck from the attic before we quote, and photograph tear-off so a redeck is a documented decision, never a day-three surprise.
Streets & Neighborhoods We Serve
Wherever your home sits inside the city limits — the Broadway corridor from City Hall to the high school, the Cottage District where it all started, Bluebonnet Hills, Sylvan Hills, or the streets backing the Olmos Basin, plus the edges the city shares with the University of the Incarnate Word and the McNay — you're in our service area. Next door to the east we serve Terrell Hills — same ZIP 78209, same school district, its own city hall.

Why homeowners choose ARP
What is on the record — and what we will not do.
We're a great fit if you own one of the pre-1950 homes this city is made of and want the decking conversation before the contract. We're probably not your roofer if you want a firm repair price over the phone or you're taking the lowest of five bids sight unseen. Better to know now.
On the record
What you get
- 5,000-plus completed Texas projects. The volume behind your roof.
- 300-plus five-star reviews. Homeowner feedback across those projects.
- GAF Certified Plus and Atlas PRO+ certification. Manufacturer credentials ARP holds as a company.
- BBB A+ accreditation. ARP's Better Business Bureau rating.
- A documented process on every roof. Photo-documented inspection, written scope, one project manager start to finish.
- A written workmanship warranty. In writing, so you can hold us to it.
One honest note that protects you
What no roofer can do
- No legitimate roofer can pay or waive your deductible — under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02 that is a crime.
- Under Texas Insurance Code § 707.002 the insured is required to pay the deductible.
- ARP does not act as your adjuster or negotiate your claim — Texas law keeps the roofing contractor and the public adjuster separate.
What ARP does instead: photograph and document the damage the way your carrier needs to see it, and give you a written condition report before you file.
Questions that decide the job
Alamo Heights roofing — frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Alamo Heights?
+
Yes — the city's permit rules list roofing explicitly, covering both reshingling and redecking, through Community Development Services at City Hall, 6116 Broadway, via the My Government Online portal. Contractors must be registered with the city, with insurance naming the city on file, before working here. We handle all of it on every job, so the permit never becomes your problem.
Will my 1930s home need new decking with the roof?
+
Possibly — homes of that era were decked with individual planks, and a century of nail holes and previous roofs takes a toll. We assess your deck from the attic before quoting, price any redecking in writing up front, and photograph what tear-off reveals. Alamo Heights permits redecking specifically, so the work is inspected and on record.
Did the 2016 hailstorm really hit Alamo Heights?
+
Directly — the National Weather Service record shows hail up to softball size fell in Alamo Heights on April 12, 2016, part of a storm that caused an estimated $1.36 billion in insured losses, the costliest hailstorm in Texas history at the time. A second major hailstorm followed that same month. If your roof predates 2016 without a documented inspection since, that inspection is overdue.
What does a roof replacement cost in Alamo Heights?
+
A standard architectural shingle replacement in San Antonio runs $17,600 to $19,200 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home. Your pre-1950 Alamo Heights home often runs higher when plank decking needs repair or replacement, which is why we scope your deck before we quote. Pricing updated April 2026 for the San Antonio / Bexar County market.
Can I replace my roof if my project also involves major structural changes?
+
Yes, but plan for review: Alamo Heights requires Demolition Review when more than half of exterior walls and/or roof structure comes down, with the Architectural Review Board assessing the home's significance first. A standard reroof doesn't trigger it — but if your roof work is part of a larger remodel, we flag the threshold early so the city process never stalls your schedule.
