Read what your neighbors say about Abraham Cruz, our 1-day installations, and our spotless cleanups.
"After that golf-ball hail hit Alamo Heights, six different out-of-town roofers knocked on our door promising 'free roofs'. Abraham Cruz came out, showed us detailed drone photos, and walked through our insurance claim legally. His crew finished our entire roof in a single day and left our yard cleaner than when they started!"
Robert M.
Alamo Heights, TX • Full Roof Replacement
"We had a chronic leak around our brick chimney that three other roofers couldn't solve. Abraham explained how his logo literally features a chimney because proper reglet counter-flashing is their specialty. They tore out the old lead, installed new step-flashing, and through three massive rainstorms—not a single drop. Worth every penny."
Sylvia C.
Stone Oak, TX • Chimney Flashing & Leak Repair
"Upgraded to Class 4 impact shingles through HomeFirst. My USAA insurance agent immediately gave us a 22% annual discount on our home insurance! The crew has worked together for decades and you can tell—zero standing around, extremely polite, and Abraham personally checked in twice during the day. Highly recommend."

Putting Families & Peace of Mind First
"Our priorities are making sure your home comes first. If we have to lose some profit so that you can have peace of mind for your family and so you can afford your treatments—we will do it."
The Heart Behind HomeFirst
When you call HomeFirst Roofing, you aren't dealing with a nameless corporate call center or an out-of-town storm chaser. You are working directly with Abraham Cruz and a master crew with over 30 combined years of hands-on Texas roofing experience.
Our client Mario Moreno was bravely battling cancer, and his #1 priority before passing was making sure his wife and kids had a safe, solid roof over their heads. Unfortunately, many roofing companies denied helping him because he could not afford their standard quotes while paying for care. That is where Abraham and HomeFirst stepped in—and did what most people could not.
In Mario's honor, HomeFirst proudly offers special hardship discounts and compassionate relief options for San Antonio families genuinely battling cancer, severe medical crises, or physical inability to manage needed roof repairs—so you never have to choose between your treatments and your family's shelter.
Beyond protecting San Antonio homes, Abraham pours his life into uplifting the community—investing in local music schools, supporting the Austin Opera, and leading a youth nonprofit dedicated to helping children in need.
Special discounts for families battling cancer or unable to afford urgent repairs.
Supporting children in need, local music schools, and Austin Opera.
Our master installers have worked together for decades—no untrained subs.
Fast Response Guarantee
Abraham Cruz or a senior inspector will inspect your roof, evaluate storm history, take high-resolution photos, and deliver an honest written assessment.

(210) 251-1454Everything San Antonio homeowners need to know about roof integrity, insurance laws, and materials.
In Texas, the state unfortunately does not license roofers. That is why verifying local business roots, general liability insurance, and worker’s compensation is critical. HomeFirst Roofing is fully insured, locally owned by San Antonian Abraham Cruz, and backed by manufacturer-certified master installers with 30+ combined years of experience.
No. Under Texas House Bill 2102, it is a Class B misdemeanor for a contractor to pay, waive, rebate, or absorb a homeowner's insurance deductible. Any roofer who promises to "eat your deductible" is committing insurance fraud, which can jeopardize your entire claim. HomeFirst operates with 100% legal transparency and helps you maximize fair claim coverage without illegal shortcuts.
Class 4 shingles pass the UL 2218 steel ball drop test, simulating 2-inch hail stones traveling at 90 mph without cracking. Most major Texas insurance carriers (State Farm, USAA, Allstate, Farmers, etc.) offer substantial premium discounts—often 15% to 30% per year—when you install a qualifying Class 4 roof.
Most residential roofs in San Antonio are completed in just a single day! Our crew begins at sunrise, tears off the old shingles, inspects the wood decking, installs synthetic underlayment and new shingles, and finishes with multiple magnetic sweeps of your driveway and yard so no nails are left behind.
