What roofing costs around San Juan
Most Valley roofers price a full tear off and replacement between $4.00 and $7.50 per square foot of roof area. On a typical single story house that lands somewhere between $9,500 and $22,000, with most jobs settling in the low to middle teens. Repairs are a different purchase: a failed pipe boot, a patch or one slope of wind lifted shingles usually runs a few hundred dollars to about $1,500.
- Three tab asphalt: roughly $4.25 to $5.50 per square foot. Cheapest up front, shortest lived under this sun.
- Architectural shingles: roughly $5.75 to $7.50 per square foot. What most homeowners here choose.
- Standing seam or stone coated metal: roughly $10.50 to $13.00 per square foot. Expensive at signing, reflects heat instead of absorbing it, and tends to outlast two asphalt roofs.
The number that moves after work starts is decking. Nobody knows how much rotten plywood is under the old roof until it comes off, so ask for a price per sheet before you sign. That one question is the difference between a $14,000 job and a $17,000 surprise.

San Juan and the weather it throws at you
The upper Valley runs hot and dry for most of the year, with the spring hail that comes through Hidalgo County as the main sudden risk. Crews here cover several cities a day, so travel is rarely the constraint; scheduling is.
There is no roofing license in Texas, so check these instead
Texas licenses plumbers, electricians and air conditioning contractors. It does not license roofers. There is no number to look up, which surprises most homeowners and is exactly why storm chasers work this area after hail.
- A certificate of general liability and workers compensation, sent by their agent rather than forwarded as a PDF.
- How long they have worked in the Valley, and a local address you could drive to.
- Whether the reviews go back years or all appeared in the last two months.
- The workmanship warranty in writing, separate from the shingle manufacturer warranty. Only one of those involves the company that climbs on your house.
One hard line: if a company offers to cover your deductible or to bill the insurer for more than the work costs, walk away. That is insurance fraud in Texas and the claim has your name on it.
Questions worth asking before you sign
- What is the roof area in squares, and what is the pitch?
- Does the price include tearing off every existing layer and hauling it away?
- What is the price per sheet for replacing damaged decking?
- Which shingle line and color exactly, and what wind rating does it carry?
- Are new flashing, pipe boots and drip edge included, or reused?
- What is the ventilation plan, since a hot attic cooks a roof from below?
- How long is the workmanship warranty, and what voids it?

Common questions
How much does a new roof cost in San Juan?
For a typical single story home, expect roughly $9,500 to $22,000 for a full replacement, depending on size, pitch, material and how much decking has to be replaced. Repairs usually run a few hundred dollars to about $1,500.
Does Texas license roofing contractors?
No. Roofing is not a licensed trade in Texas, so there is no license number to verify. Check insurance certificates, local track record and the written workmanship warranty instead.
Will insurance pay for my roof?
If the damage came from a covered event such as hail or wind, usually yes, minus your deductible, and the amount depends on whether your policy is replacement cost or actual cash value. Wear and age are not covered, so have a roofer inspect before you file.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single family roofs are a one to three day job once the crew starts. Getting on the schedule is the part that stretches, especially in the weeks after a storm.
