San Antonio Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice for San Antonio homes. They offer an excellent balance of affordability, curb appeal, and proven performance against Texas weather. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Legacy installs the highest-rated shingle products available.
Not all shingles are created equal. The difference between a roof that lasts 15 years and one that lasts 30+ comes down to the product you choose, how it is installed, and who stands behind the work. We help you pick the right shingle for your home, your climate, and your budget.

- Architectural (dimensional): The modern standard. 25-30 year lifespan.
- Impact-resistant (Class 4): Designed for hail. Ask your insurance company about potential premium discounts for impact-resistant roofing.

Impact-Resistant Shingles and Insurance Savings
San Antonio sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country. Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles are engineered to withstand hits from 2-inch hailstones without cracking. Many Texas insurance companies offer premium discounts of 10% to 35% for homes with qualifying impact-resistant roofing. Over the life of the roof, those savings can add up to thousands of dollars.
We install several Class 4 rated products including Owens Corning Duration FLEX, Malarkey Vista AR, and Atlas StormMaster Slate. Each carries UL 2218 Class 4 certification and is backed by strong manufacturer warranties.
What Makes Legacy Different
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Legacy offers enhanced warranty options that most roofing companies cannot. Our certification means we have met Owens Corning's requirements for installation quality, business practices, and customer satisfaction. That translates to better coverage for you, including options for labor warranties that go beyond the standard manufacturer material warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are flat and uniform, while architectural (dimensional) shingles have a layered, textured look that mimics wood shake or slate. Architectural shingles are thicker, more wind-resistant, and last 25 to 30 years compared to 15 to 20 for 3-tab.
Which shingle brand do you recommend?
We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and install their Duration and TruDefinition lines most often. We also install GAF, CertainTeed, and Atlas products based on your needs and budget.
How long do shingle roofs last in San Antonio?
Architectural shingles typically last 25 to 30 years in our climate. Texas heat and hail can shorten that if maintenance is neglected, which is why we recommend regular inspections.
