Why roof replacement costs so much

The materials and labor for a typical San Antonio roof replacement cost roughly the same no matter who installs it. Owens Corning shingles cost what they cost. Experienced crews charge what they charge.

So why do quotes from big roofing companies land between $14,000 and $20,000? Because you're paying for everything except the roof:

  • Sales commissions — the salesperson who visits your home earns 10-20% of the job. On a $15,000 roof, that's $1,500-$3,000 added to your price.
  • Advertising — TV commercials, radio spots, billboard campaigns, branded truck wraps. Every ad dollar gets baked into every job.
  • Franchise fees — national and regional chains pay a percentage of revenue to corporate. You're funding their franchise, not your roof.
  • Overhead layers — call centers, office staff, middle management, sales training programs. None of these touch a single shingle.

When you hire a big roofing company, a significant portion of what you pay has nothing to do with your roof.
