About
Southwest Metal Roofing Systems is a residential metal roofing specialist operating from 11919 Rail Drive, Suite 1, in northeast San Antonio, Bexar County. The company trades under the line 'Do It Once, Do It For Life' and states on its own site that it has been in business more than 25 years and describes itself as the largest residential metal roofing contractor in South and Central Texas. Its Better Business Bureau record shows accreditation running back to 1 November 1998 with an A rating, and lists Daniel Boes as president. The product range is narrow by design. The company installs Galvalume Plus standing seam, painted standing seam in 24 gauge with a Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000 finish, and stone coated steel in tile and shake profiles. That is a deliberate metal only focus rather than a general roofing offer, and the pitch is longevity: a system meant to be the last roof a house needs rather than the cheapest replacement cycle. The company publishes a colour chart, a before and after gallery and a roofing terminology page, which is useful if you are comparing metal systems for the first time. Coverage runs across South and Central Texas from San Antonio out to New Braunfels, Schertz, Seguin, San Marcos, Boerne, Bandera, Helotes, Comfort, Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Canyon Lake, Wimberley, Dripping Springs and Bastrop. The company's own site displays Better Business Bureau, Energy Star, UL and Greater San Antonio Builders Association marks, and its About page states membership of the Greater San Antonio Builders Association, the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. The BBB accreditation is confirmed on bbb.org; the Energy Star and UL marks relate to product and system ratings rather than to a contractor certification, and the association memberships are stated by the company.

Insurance & credential verification
Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.
Confirm this listing yourself at web.rcat.net/rcat/search.
Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.

Southwest Metal Roofing systems installed a metal roofing system on our property. The team was courtesy and professional. Other than weather delays the crew stayed on schedule. The team was confident and masters of the craft. Demonstrated a commitment to excellence. We absolutely love the color and constantly get compliments from passengers by! They provided the most competitive pricing of everyone in the region.
SW Metal Roofing just completed a repair on our 15-year-old metal roof. They were professional, communicated with detail and promptness, were thorough, skilled, and so nice! The price was reasonable, too. Do not hesitate to hire them.
Southwest Metal Roofing Systems made switching to a metal roof easy. They handled the permits, teardown, new roof, and cleanup. Great quality work, and only took a few days Pricewise, I got four quotes for a standing seam metal roof, and SwMRS was one of the few that gave us an honest and competitive quote upfront. Not the most expensive, & not the least expensive (but close), & you knew it would be done right. Big shout-out to Dan, Rex, and the whole crew Enjoying our new Mansard Brown metal roof
I have used Southwest Metal Roofing three times on three homes over a course of 10+ years. All three times I have been impressed with their product and installation. Quality work is superior, clean up is excellent and customer service outstanding. I will use no one else.
I cannot thank Southwest Metal Roofing for their help, patience, cooperation, and compassion regarding the transfer of the roof’s warranty from my name to the new homeowners after recently selling my house. I also want to take a minute to thank them again for the roof itself. I loved, loved, loved that roof and couldn’t help but feel so damn proud of it every time I drove into my driveway and saw it. I mean, every time! And while I knew it would help decrease our utility bill, I didn’t know exactly how dramatic of a change it would be. Thanks to Southwest Metal Roofing, I believe my average CPS Energy invoice was in the neighborhood of $150 a month — for a two story, almost 2,500 square foot house. Un. Be. Lieve. A. Ble. The day the new homeowners had the inspection scheduled just happened to be the day our neighborhood was hit with a storm that produced massive hail. My kids and I were nearby and driving in it, as it produced pieces of ice falling from the sky that were literally the size of my fist. They sounded like indescribable explosions hitting my car (we were thankfully able to take shelter under the very last available spot at the local Sonic). My realtor informed me that everyone at the house that morning did, in fact, also suffer the hail’s effects. But when it was all over done, and the inspector looked at our roof again, he turned to the buyers and their realtor emphasizing that we had “a damn good roof!” I don’t doubt I’ll be calling them again when I need roof estimates at any future home I move into. I not only had people stop by the house to compliment my roof and ask who did it, but any time anyone needed a recommendation I enthusiastically threw their name out there. I’ll always be proud to have crossed paths with them, and feel lucky to have done business with Southwest Metal Roofing. They should just be glad I don’t create their public relations or marketing campaigns. My brain would be stuck on the one word everyone’s seemed to use to describe and compliment my roof .... dayyyummmm .... “The best damn roof you’ll ever own!” Lol It’s been a pleasure to do business with them.
