Roofing in Alamo Heights
An independent city with older houses, heavy trees, and its own permit desk.
Alamo Heights is not a San Antonio neighborhood on paper. It is its own city, with roofs that show it: 1920s to 1950s cottages and two-stories, hips and valleys, chimneys, and a lot of shade. Composition shingles are common. Tile shows up. Tree litter sits in the valleys after every storm.
The trees are part of the roof. Gutters clog. Boots cook in the clearings. A ceiling stain under a bathroom is still more often a pipe boot than a reason to reroof the house. We find that first.
Permits
Permits run through the City of Alamo Heights, not City of San Antonio. Roofing, reshingling and redecking, is on their list of work that needs a permit. Tree work near the roof can have its own rules. We file with this city, not with a COSA form reused by habit.
We do not have a photo from a job on these streets to put here, so this page stays words. If you want us on the roof, call. Bring any bid that skipped drip edge; on these older eaves that line matters.
