Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Carrollton’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line; when we roof a house in Carrollton, the names on the contract are the names in the truck. Homeowners in the 75006 and 75007 ZIPs tell us the same story over and over: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a different bill after tearing off the old roof. Carrollton houses, especially the 1960s and 1970s stock, hide things under the shingles. We expect that. We price for what we can see, put allowances in writing for what we can’t, and bring you a written change order before any scope change touches the job.
Our Roofing team has worked hundreds of Carrollton homes. We know that a 1972 ranch in the 75006 ZIP near Old Town has a different framing system than a 1994 two-story off Josey Lane. We know the inspectors at the city, we know what they’ll flag, and we pull permits on every eligible job because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number yourself. He publishes them.
When you call about roofing in Carrollton, a live person answers. If you have storm damage on a Sunday night, you’ll talk to someone who can tell you whether to tarp now or wait until morning. No out-of-state call center, no “we’ll have a specialist call you back.” And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Roofing Services in Carrollton
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Carrollton runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs. The most common call we get is a water stain on the ceiling that shows up a week after a heavy North Texas storm. We trace the leak to its source, because last year’s repair was often somebody smearing sealant over a valley flashing and calling it fixed. In Carrollton’s older homes, especially the 1960s stock in 75006, we check for rotted decking under the shingles before we patch, because shingles that look fine from the ground are often hiding water damage from Winter Storm Uri freeze-thaw cycles on the north slope.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Carrollton runs $8,000-$20,000. The spread comes from roof size, pitch, decking condition, and whether we need to refasten or replace the sheathing once the old shingles come off. We quote a fixed price for the visible scope, write allowances for decking and flashing, and bring every adjustment to you as a written change order before we proceed. No surprise invoice at the end. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Standing Seam Metal Roof
Standing seam metal roofs in Carrollton run $15,000-$40,000 installed. They’re the highest-cost option, but they’re also the best answer for Carrollton’s hail and high-wind exposure, and they handle the Blackland Prairie clay movement better than composite shingles because the panels don’t crack at the seam with every slab heave. We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and when you choose metal, we use materials you can look up, not mystery coils off a supplier’s floor.

Tile Roof Repair
Tile roof repair in Carrollton runs $600-$2,500. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common on higher-end homes in the 75007 and 75010 ZIPs, and the failure is almost never the tile itself. It’s the valley flashing underneath, original galvanized metal from the 1980s and 1990s that has corroded and let water back up under the tile lap. We replace the flashing, reset the tiles, and leave the visible profile exactly as it was. That last part matters in Old Town Carrollton, where the historic district can require architectural review for any visible roof change.

Trusted Brands We Service in Carrollton
We run GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems on the great majority of Carrollton replacements, because those are brands you can look up and verify, not whatever roll the supplier had on sale that week. If you want a standing seam metal roof, we carry panels that meet the high-wind and hail ratings North Texas demands. If you want tile, we source profile-matched tile so a repair on a 1992 brick-veneer roof doesn’t look like a patch job. And because we keep common replacement parts and flashing stock available locally, turnaround on Carrollton repairs is typically days, not weeks.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Hidden decking rot from Winter Storm Uri. The 2021 freeze pushed ice dams behind fascia boards on north-facing slopes across Carrollton. The shingles look fine from the ground, but the decking underneath is spongy. We find this constantly in the 75006 ZIP’s older stock.
- Composite shingles over 1960s skip sheathing. The southern Carrollton neighborhoods built in the 1960s and 1970s used skip sheathing, not solid plywood. When the Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts, that sheathing flexes, shingle seals crack, and slow leaks develop at the eave line.
- Corroded valley flashing on 1980s-1990s brick-veneer homes. The original galvanized metal in valleys and around chimneys has a lifespan of roughly 30 years. Homes in the 75007 and 75010 ZIPs are now hitting that mark. Water backs up under the tile or shingle lap and rots the underlayment before you ever see a stain.
- Storm and hail damage after spring squall lines. Carrollton sits squarely in hail alley. The damage isn’t always visible: granule loss on the roof, split seals, and dented flashing that eventually leaks. We do free storm-damage assessments, and we’ll tell you honestly if the damage doesn’t justify a claim.

The single biggest variable in a Carrollton roof replacement is decking. A 1972 ranch in 75006 with original 3-tab shingles often needs 20 or more sheets of OSB replaced once we open the roof. A 1998 home in 75010 might need none. That’s why we write a decking allowance into the contract up front, and bring you a written change order the moment we know the real number. You’ll never look at an invoice and wonder where the extra six thousand dollars came from. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and you’ll get the number in writing before you commit to anything.
What a Carrollton Roofing Permit Actually Triggers
Here’s the part most out-of-area contractors miss. When you pull a roofing permit in Carrollton and the old shingles come off, the inspector looks at more than the new material. On the older southern stock in 75006, an inspector will check the existing roof framing and sheathing condition before allowing the new roof to go on. If the framing is undersized or the decking is shot, the permit triggers a repair you didn’t budget for. In Old Town Carrollton, centered near Belt Line and Denton Drive, the historic district can require architectural review before any visible roof material change, which adds weeks to the timeline if nobody told you. Out-of-town builders get surprised by this. We don’t, because we’ve pulled these permits before, we know the reviewers, and we build the review time into the schedule from the start. That’s the Information Gain this page gives you, and it’s the reason a Carrollton roofer who actually lives here saves you money and grief.
Last spring we re-roofed a 1972 ranch in the 75006 ZIP near Old Town. The original 3-tab shingles had delaminated over decades of clay movement, and the decking under the north slope was spongy where Uri ice dams had forced water behind the fascia. Our crew replaced 24 sheets of OSB, refastened the original 2×6 rafters with structural screws after the framing inspection, and installed a standing seam metal roof in a matte charcoal that cleared the historic district’s exterior materials review. The owner signed every change order on a tablet before we touched the next section. That’s how we run every job in Carrollton, whether it’s a $600 flashing repair or a $40,000 standing seam install.
Do You Need an Architectural Review in Old Town Carrollton?
If your home sits in the designated historic district near Belt Line and Denton Drive, any visible roof material change, including color, profile, or material type, may require architectural review before you pull the permit. A like-for-like replacement with the same profile and color usually clears quickly. Switching from asphalt shingle to standing seam, or changing barrel tile profile, will likely require review. Farmers Branch and Addison don’t impose this layer. Carrying a contract from a contractor who doesn’t know it exists is how homeowners end up with a roof delivered and a stop-work order on the door. We handle the review as part of the permit package, and we build the review time into the schedule. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re in the Old Town district and want to know exactly what your address triggers.

FAQs - Roofing in Carrollton
Yes, if your property is within the designated historic district near Belt Line and Denton Drive, any visible change to roof material, color, or profile typically requires architectural review before permit issuance. A like-for-like replacement with matching profile and color usually clears without delay. We prepare and submit the review package for you so the city sees the full scope in one filing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific address before you waste a week.
The 1960s and 1970s homes in Carrollton’s southern 75006 ZIP were built with skip sheathing and roof systems designed before modern ice-dam and freeze-thaw standards. Winter Storm Uri pushed water behind fascia boards on north-facing slopes, soaking the decking underneath shingles that still look sound from the ground. You can’t see rot through a shingle. That’s why we inspect the decking as part of every roofing estimate in Carrollton, and why every contract includes a written decking allowance. Call (877) 610-1318 for an inspection.
Yes. A properly installed standing seam metal roof, with concealed fasteners and the correct panel profile, meets or exceeds the high-wind and impact-resistance standards North Texas demands. It’s the best long-term answer for Carrollton’s hail exposure and the clay-soil movement that cracks shingle seals over time. Expect to pay $15,000-$40,000 for a standing seam installation in Carrollton depending on roof size and complexity. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote.
We address the roof structure independently of the slab. Post-tension slab movement cracks the chimney and eave line because the brick veneer and roof framing are tied to the foundation’s motion. We inspect the roof framing and rafter ties, refasten where needed, and install flashing details that allow for continued minor movement without breaking the water seal. We will not pretend a roof replacement fixes a foundation problem. If your slab movement is significant, we’ll tell you to have a foundation company evaluate it before we roof over the damage. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the whole thing with you.
We price gutters and downspouts as a separate line item, but we can replace them as part of the same job if yours are old, undersized, or pulled away from the fascia. Most 1980s and 1990s Carrollton homes have original aluminum gutters with failing seams. Replacing them during the roof job saves you a second mobilization and a second round of setup charges. We’ll include a line item on your quote so you see the exact number. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that covers the whole roof-to-ground system.
