San Antonio's roofing market is dominated by asphalt shingles. Hail events in spring and early summer create periodic post-storm demand spikes similar to — but smaller than — Tampa's post-hurricane surges.
| Roof Type | Weight Per 100 sq ft | 2,000 sq ft Home | Recommended Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt 3-tab (single layer) | 200–300 lbs | 2–3 tons | 20 yard |
| Architectural shingles | 300–450 lbs | 3–4.5 tons | 20–30 yard |
| Double-layer shingles | 400–700 lbs | 4–7 tons | 30 yard |
| Clay or concrete tile (Stone Oak area) | 900–1,200 lbs | 9–12 tons | 30–40 yard |
| Metal roofing | 100–150 lbs | 1–1.5 tons | 10–15 yard |
| Project | Recommended Size | SA Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story asphalt (single layer) | 20 yard | $315–$470 |
| Architectural shingles or double-layer | 30 yard | $385–$540 |

| Clay or concrete tile (Stone Oak/Dominion) | 30–40 yard | $385–$650 |
San Antonio sits in a hail corridor. Post-hail, insurance-claim roofing jobs surge across the metro simultaneously. Book dumpsters as soon as your claim is approved — availability drops fast after a significant hail event.
Stone Oak, Dominion, and Hill Country Village homes often have clay or concrete tile — significantly heavier than asphalt. Ask specifically about flat-rate tile pricing. SA operators serving north-side neighborhoods know tile logistics well.
Single-story asphalt shingles (single layer): 20-yard. Architectural shingles, double-layer, or two-story: 30-yard. Tile roofs in Stone Oak or Dominion: 30–40-yard — confirm with your roofer based on square footage.
Call operators the same day or next morning after a hail event. Availability across the metro drops within 48–72 hours as roofing contractors all book simultaneously. Establish an operator relationship before April if you do storm work regularly.
Book your dumpster before your roofing crew is scheduled — not after. San Antonio's hail season (April–June) can create post-storm booking crunches where operators book out in 48 hours. If you're doing an insurance claim job, reserve the container as soon as the claim is approved.
