American Roofing & Metal

What American Roofing & Metal does

American Roofing & Metal is a fifth-generation, family-owned commercial and residential roofing contractor founded in 1904 in San Antonio, Texas, by Henry Spalten. The company provides a full-service roofing portfolio across seven service lines: new construction, reroofing, international projects, maintenance, lightning protection, metal roofing, and residential. Its underlying capability combines skilled field installation with in-house specialty sheet metal fabrication equipment, enabling work across standing seam metal, single-ply TPO/PVC, built-up, modified bitumen, slate, clay tile, and ornamental copper systems — including complex methods such as rappelling installation and crane-based material handling on occupied structures.

The company's customer base spans federal, state, and local government (U.S. Embassies worldwide, the U.S. Postal Service Houston Distribution Center, the Henry B. González Convention Center, the Alamodome, and the Goliad County Courthouse), commercial enterprises (HEB as a pre-approved vendor with hundreds of projects, Stream Data Center), religious institutions (Saint Joseph's Church), and luxury residential (Copper Ranch, Tower Life Building restoration). Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with architects, building owners, general contractors, and property managers — supported by website-based estimate and service request forms and a project portfolio. Pricing is quote-based on scope, materials, and labor, with revenue generated primarily through one-time project contracts and an emerging recurring layer from maintenance agreements.

The business is privately held with no institutional investment, headquartered at 801 Wyoming Street in San Antonio, and operates throughout Texas, the broader United States, and internationally. While the company lacks disclosed financials, its scale (101–250 employees), 120+ years of continuous operation, and marquee project portfolio indicate an established mid-market specialty contractor rather than an early-stage or venture-backed firm.
