Shingle and metal roof replacement, low-slope roofing and 24/7 emergency repair for Atascosa and the communities around it in southwest Bexar County. Free estimates and same-day replies.
Atascosa is a small community in southwest Bexar County, south of San Antonio. It should not be confused with Atascosa County to the south: this is the rural area between San Antonio and Lytle, with homes on large lots, small ranches and properties near Macdona, Von Ormy and Somerset.
Homes here are a mix of brick and frame houses with shingle roofs, manufactured homes, and country properties with shops and barns under metal roofs. Open land means more exposure to wind, and like the rest of South Texas, Atascosa deals with extreme heat, strong sun, spring hail and sudden heavy rain.
Alanis Roofing is based in Devine, just down I-35. Andres Alanis has 26 years in roofing, 13 years with his own crew and more than 500 jobs completed. Estimates are free, replies come the same day, and emergencies are answered 24/7, in English or Spanish.
On the open land around Atascosa there are few trees or buildings to slow the wind. Gusts during spring storms work at shingle edges, ridge caps and loose metal trim, and once a shingle tab is lifted, the next rain can get underneath it.
Proper nailing, new drip edge and well-sealed ridge caps make a big difference here. When Alanis Roofing replaces a roof, those details are part of the job, along with new pipe boots and ventilation that fits the attic.
A 30-year shingle roof is a practical, budget-friendly choice for many homes in Atascosa. For country homes, shops and barns, metal is often the better long-term option because it resists wind, reflects heat and sheds heavy rain quickly.
We install standing seam metal on homes and R-panel on outbuildings, in colors like charcoal, silver galvalume, red, bronze and blue. Andres will price both shingle and metal during your free estimate so you can compare.
Carports, porch covers and shop additions often have low-slope roofs, and they are usually the first place a leak shows up after a heavy South Texas rain. Water sits longer on a flatter surface and finds any open seam.
Alanis Roofing installs roll roofing and TPO on low-slope sections. If your property has several roofs, ask us to look at all of them during the same free visit.
