Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Garland’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Garland from a call center three states away. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. The crew that shows up at your door in Garland is background-checked, uniformed, and carries the Barrett & Sons name on the truck. Most days, one of Tom’s sons is standing on the roof with them.
Garland homeowners tell us the same story over and over: they got burned by a company that quoted one number, then handed over a change order at the end for “unforeseen conditions.” Our answer to that is the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on every contract. If something’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. That’s not a slogan. That’s been our operating rule for nearly three decades across Roofing and every other trade we touch.
We answer our own phone, 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. When you call about a leak on your Garland roof at 9:00 on a Saturday night, you get a live person. We know Garland’s streets, its building quirks, and the way this city’s clay soil works against a roof over time. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we scope, and how we build.
Our Roofing Services in Garland
Roof Repair in Garland
Roof repair in Garland typically runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what we find once we’re on the roof. Older ranch homes in the 75040 through 75042 corridor tend to have more than one thing going wrong at a time. A missing shingle is rarely just a missing shingle. It’s usually a sign the decking underneath has softened, a rafter has shifted, or the flashing around a vent has given up. We’ll show you exactly what we find, in writing, with a line item price for each repair. No lump-sum guesses. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free inspection.

Roof Replacement & Installation in Garland
A full roof replacement in Garland runs $8,000 to $20,000 for most homes. What moves that number isn’t square footage alone. On Garland’s mid-century brick-veneer ranches, we frequently uncover rooflines that have been racked by decades of slab movement. The Vertisol clay under this city shrinks in summer droughts and swells with fall rain, and that cycle pushes and pulls at load-bearing walls until the trusses shift. A proper roof replacement here often means shimming or repairing rafters before new decking goes down. We scope all of that up front, in writing, before tear-off begins.

Metal Roofing in Garland
Metal roofing runs $15,000 to $40,000 in Garland, and it’s the smartest long-term choice for homeowners who want to stop replacing shingles every fifteen years. Garland’s hail seasons, summer heat, and sudden prairie thunderstorms are harder on asphalt than most people realize. A standing seam metal roof shrugs off hail that would shatter dimensional shingles. We install standing seam systems with the same written change-order process we use on every job: you’ll know the full scope, in writing, before we start. If you’re considering metal, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through the honest trade-offs.

Emergency & Storm Damage in Garland
Garland sits in the middle of Texas hail country. When a spring storm rolls through the 75043 ZIP code near Lake Ray Hubbard and leaves your roof exposed, you need a tarp over it before the next cell moves in. We respond to storm damage calls across Garland, and we work with your insurance adjuster on the scope. If you have a tarp need, a leak that’s opened up after a hailstorm, or wind damage along a ridge line, call us right away. We’ll get eyes on it and get it sealed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Garland
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On Garland roofs we carry GAF and CertainTeed shingles and standing seam metal systems, plus Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers when a roof project leads to hardscape work on the same property. Every brand we install has a published specification sheet and a manufacturer warranty. You get a copy of both. No white-label products. No “trust us it’s good quality” conversations.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Garland Homes
- Slab heave racking the roof framing. The Vertisol clay under Garland contracts and expands aggressively with moisture change. When the slab moves, the walls move. When the walls move, the roof framing cracks and shifts. We see split ridge beams and pulled rafters on homes built in every decade from the 1950s on.
- Unpermitted mid-century additions with undersized framing. A lot of Garland ranch homes accumulated room additions and garage conversions over the decades without permits. When we open up the roof, we sometimes find trusses that were never engineered for the span they’re carrying. Garland inspectors will require those to be corrected before we can close up. Knowing this ahead of time is why we scope carefully before quoting.
- Decking rot from old leaks that were never addressed. Garland’s summer heat bakes a roof, then sudden storms dump water onto it. If a small leak went unpatched for years, the plywood decking underneath has turned to mush. You can’t lay new shingles over rotted decking. We include decking replacement in our quotes as a written allowance, so you see what it costs per sheet before we start.
- Improper flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Mid-century homes in Garland were built with whatever flashing was cheap at the time. Sixty years later, that flashing has failed. We replace it with modern materials on every roof we touch. If we’re replacing a roof and your flashing is salvageable, we’ll tell you. If it isn’t, you’ll see that in writing too.

FAQs - Roofing in Garland
The clay under your home moves, and when it moves, your roof moves with it. On Garland homes with slab movement, we frequently find cracked ridge beams, split rafters, and trusses that have pulled out of alignment. Before we lay new decking, the framing has to be stabilized. That work is structural, it’s permitted, and it needs to be inspected before we close up. We scope it and price it before we start, not as a surprise at the end. If you suspect foundation movement has affected your roof, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll inspect the framing before you spend a dollar on shingles.
It won’t stop it, but it may expand the scope. Garland inspectors look at the whole structure when we pull a roof permit. If an unpermitted addition has undersized trusses tied into the original roof, the inspector will typically require those to be brought up to current code before the new roof can close. We’ve navigated this many times in the older Garland ZIPS. We’ll tell you ahead of time what the inspector is likely to flag and what it costs to correct. Better to know before tear-off than after. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us evaluate your addition as part of a free estimate.
Yes. Roofing work in Garland requires a city permit, and if your property sits on acreage with outbuildings, detached shops, or an ADU, each structure may need its own permit scope. We pull permits on every eligible job and we handle the inspection scheduling. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him. If you’re out near the lake with multiple structures, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly what your property needs.
Each roof is quoted separately. A detached shop, barn, or ADU on your Garland property gets its own line item, its own material allowance, and its own permit scope. On acreage lots, we also factor in material delivery and equipment access. Long hauls and tight turnarounds rarely get priced into national company quotes. Ours does. We’ll walk the whole property with you before we quote, so nothing gets missed. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out and look at every roof you have.
In most cases, yes. A standing seam metal roof can be installed over existing shingles in Garland as long as the decking is sound, the framing is stable, and the weight is acceptable for your trusses. Given the clay soil movement in this city, we’ll check the framing before we agree to an overlay. If the decking is compromised or the rafters have shifted, we’ll need to tear off and address the structure first. We’ll show you both options with real numbers and let you decide. Call (877) 610-1318 for an honest look at your roof.
