Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Delray Beach
Roof replacement in Delray Beach runs $8,000 to $20,000 for most homes, while roof repair typically lands between $400 and $1,800. Tile roof repair, which we do constantly on the barrier island and in the 1980s CBS communities to the west, usually costs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles failed and whether you need a profile match on a discontinued barrel. We answer the phone live, we pull permits on every eligible job, and we put every price change in writing before a single nail moves. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in Delray Beach, where the barrier island and the western ZIPs have completely different roofing rules, soils, and failure modes. A contractor who only knows one side of town will misprice the other side. We work both.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and you can look it up before you sign anything. Our Roofing crews are background-checked and carry the Barrett & Sons name on their trucks and uniforms. When you call about a leak in Kings Point or a blown-off tile in Las Palmas, the person who answers knows the difference between 33483 and 33484 and why it matters.
Every roofing job we do in Delray Beach comes with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. Not a phone tree. Not a “regional service manager.” Tom, the owner, on the phone. That’s the whole promise.
We carry GAF and CertainTeed materials, which means the shingle or underlayment on your roof is a named product you can research, not a mystery brand off a van. And because we stock common profiles for the tile and metal systems we see repeatedly in Delray Beach, we can often turn a repair estimate around the same day we walk the roof.
Our Roofing Services in Delray Beach
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Delray Beach runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs, and what we see most often depends on which side of I-95 you’re on. In the 1980s and 1990s CBS communities like those around Century Village and the 33484 ZIP, we get calls about aging underlayment, rusted flashing, and the slow ceiling stains that show up after a heavy afternoon storm. On the barrier island, it’s wind-lifted tiles and corroded fasteners from salt air.
We don’t patch a symptom and walk away. We inspect the full roof plane, document what we find with photos, and put the scope in writing before we start. If a repair reveals a bigger problem underneath, you get a written change order before any additional work happens. No surprises at the end.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Delray Beach runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the price moves based on the square footage of the roof plane, the pitch, the material, and which regulatory layer your property sits under. The 1980s CBS homes in the western ZIPs are now hitting the age where Florida’s re-roofing rules trigger full replacements rather than overlays, and that means a deck inspection before anything else. We’ve peeled back shingles on those homes and found deck rot that the previous contractor chose not to mention. We mention it, photograph it, and price the fix in writing.
Every eligible roof replacement we do in Delray Beach includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs make sense for a lot of Delray Beach homes, particularly in the 33448 and 33482 areas where homeowners want low maintenance and a system that sheds water fast during summer downpours. Metal also handles the 160 to 170 mph design wind speeds Palm Beach County requires better than most asphalt systems. The cost for a metal roof installation typically starts around $15,000 and can reach $40,000 depending on the profile and the complexity of the roof.
We pull the same permits and run the same structural checks on metal as we do on any other system. The underlayment spec matters just as much as the panel itself, especially on lower slopes where drainage is slower.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofing is everywhere in Delray Beach, from 1970s ranches in Las Palmas to newer luxury builds on the barrier island. Tile roof repair in Delray Beach runs $600 to $2,500, and the hard part is rarely the tile itself. It’s matching a discontinued profile. A 1970s barrel tile roof often uses a profile that hasn’t been manufactured in 20 years, which means sourcing reclaimed or compatible tile, which takes contacts and time.
Our crew recently completed a tile roof repair in the Las Palmas community in 33483, where a 1970s barrel tile roof had lost several tiles to coastal wind gusts. We pre-coordinated with a wind-load engineer before pulling permits, avoiding the mid-project redesign loop that snags contractors unfamiliar with Palm Beach County’s wind speed requirements. The scope included matching discontinued tile profiles and a final inspection sign-off from the county.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We install GAF asphalt shingle systems on most of our Delray Beach replacements because they’re a known product with a published spec, and homeowners can verify the warranty themselves. We also service and repair existing tile and metal systems from manufacturers our crews recognize by profile. When you call us about a repair, we can usually tell you over the phone whether the tile or panel is something we already stock locally or something we’ll need to source. That saves you a second trip.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Coastal wind damage on the barrier island (33483). Salt air and gust-driven rain loosen tiles, corrode fasteners, and tear underlayment faster than inland crews expect. A roof that looks fine from the street can be failing around the flashings.
- Underlayment failure on 1980s CBS homes in 33446 and 33484. The concrete block structure is solid, but the original roof deck and underlayment were not designed for 2026 wind and moisture standards. Peel back a section and you’ll see it.
- Fascia rot from undersized gutters. The water table across western Delray Beach sits 18 to 24 inches below grade in many areas, and roof runoff that isn’t moved away from the structure fast enough eats fascia boards and erodes slab edges. We see it as a punch-list item on nearly every replacement.
- Discontinued tile profiles on older barrel roofs. If your 1970s tile roof loses a few tiles, finding a match is the actual job. We keep a network of reclaimed tile sources specifically because this comes up constantly in Delray Beach.

FAQs - Roofing in Delray Beach
The barrier island sits within Florida DEP’s Coastal Construction Control Line, which adds a state-level permitting layer that can extend a roof replacement timeline by four to eight weeks. The same roof in Boynton Beach or Boca Raton, a few miles west, doesn’t carry that review. We plan for it from day one, and we put the extended timeline in writing so you’re not standing in a bare deck wondering where the inspector is. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check whether your property falls inside the line before we quote.
Palm Beach County requires structural designs for 160 to 170 mph design wind speeds. That’s a county requirement on top of Delray Beach’s own design guidelines, and it applies to the entire roofing system: deck, fasteners, underlayment, and cover. A contractor who doesn’t pre-coordinate with a wind-load engineer before pulling permits risks a mid-project redesign loop. We pre-coordinate on every replacement.
Yes, and that’s exactly what tile roof repair is for. The cost typically runs $600 to $2,500 in Delray Beach, and the biggest variable is whether your tile profile is still manufactured. In historic and older sections of the city, many 1970s profiles are discontinued, so we source reclaimed or compatible tile. The repair itself is usually a one- or two-day job once materials are in hand.
The water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade across much of western Delray Beach, which means any roof runoff that pools near the foundation becomes a slab erosion and fascia rot problem quickly. On a full replacement, we size gutters and downspouts to move water away from the structure, not just off the roof. Skipping that step is the most common reason we get called back for punch-list fascia repair after another contractor’s job. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your property.
In most cases, a small repair of a few matching tiles on an existing roof doesn’t trigger a full permit in Delray Beach. The line is whether the repair is cosmetic or structural. But if the underlayment is involved, or the deck is exposed, it becomes permit-eligible work, and we pull it. If you’re not sure which side of the line your repair falls on, call us and we’ll tell you straight before anything gets touched.
If you’re in Delray Beach and you need a roofer who knows the difference between the Coastal Construction Control Line and a standard re-roof, call (877) 610-1318. Estimates are free, the phone is answered by a live person, and every scope, allowance, and price change comes in writing before work starts. Tom stands behind it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
