A small city on the Loop 410 / Fredericksburg edge
Balcones Heights is a compact incorporated city on the west-central side of Bexar County, pressed against Loop 410 near Fredericksburg Road. Like Leon Valley next door, it is its own city completely surrounded by San Antonio. Cross the city limit line and the building department changes — permits run through Balcones Heights, not San Antonio’s One Stop.
The housing mix is what makes this page different from a pure suburb town page. Mid-century homes on residential streets sit a few blocks from commercial buildings along the highway corridors. We work both: steep residential shingle roofs and low-slope commercial metal sections with rooftop HVAC, curbs, and parapet edges.
Rattler Roofing is family-owned and based in San Antonio. Owner Mike Bailey (named for the Reagan High School and St. Mary’s Rattlers) runs a crew that is about 70% roofing and 30% remodeling. Call or text (210) 418-ROOF, 7 AM to 7 PM.
Residential shingles and low-slope metal
On houses, architectural asphalt shingles are the usual system. We install brands such as GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Malarkey, including impact-rated options, and every full replacement carries our 10-year workmanship warranty. See Roof Replacement and Roof Repair.
On commercial and low-slope roofs we see metal panel fields, membrane transitions beside shingle slopes, clogged gutters at parapets, and worn sealant at HVAC curbs. Those leaks rarely look like a missing shingle tab — they show up as stains at deck seams, rust streaks, and soft spots around units. We photograph the roof deck and the mechanicals so you can see why a section needs repair or replacement. Standing seam and panel metal details: Metal Roofing.

Storms along the loop
Hail and wind track through western Bexar County every spring. Residential roofs take bruised shingles and lifted edges; commercial metal takes dents, displaced panels, and opened seams at curbs. Stay off both kinds of roof after a storm. We document damage with photos and can meet your adjuster. You file the claim; Texas law bars contractors from waiving or rebating deductibles. See Hail Damage Roof Repair, Wind Damage Roof Repair, and Insurance Claims.
Permits in Balcones Heights
The city uses a Building Web Portal for commercial and residential permit applications, plan review status, and inspection scheduling. Contractors register with the city before permits issue (certificate of insurance listing the City, applicable state trade licenses, and ID). Balcones Heights has adopted the 2021 International codes (with amendments) for building and residential work. We register as required and pull permits for scopes that need them.
How a job usually runs
Every job starts with a free on-roof inspection. We get up on the roof (or the low-slope field), photograph problem areas, and go over the photos with you before anyone orders materials. You get a written estimate. If a repair will protect the building, we say so. If the roof is past that point, we show you why.
On tear-offs we remove the old roofing down to the deck, replace soft wood we find, and install synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water shield in valleys on steep slopes. Commercial scopes get their own edge-metal, curb, and drainage details written into the estimate so there are no surprises mid-job. Cleanup matters on tight Balcones Heights lots and busy frontage roads — we haul away debris and leave the site walkable.
Licensed with the City of San Antonio and other municipalities where we pull permits, and insured. Hours are 7 AM to 7 PM, every day — call or text.
