Highlands sits in the San Jacinto River floodplain, and that shapes every roof we touch. Wind-driven rain off the bay, heavy spring storms, and the simple age of the housing stock here mean roofs fail in predictable ways. We know where the problem areas are because we have crawled them for years, from Channelview to Mont Belvieu. Our Roofing work here is not a side business. It is the main thing we do well.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Highlands’s Preferred Roofing Company

We are owner-operated, founded in 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything. Most of our Highlands customers are working people who have been burned once by an out-of-town outfit that quoted one price on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. That is not how we operate.

Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That is why I like him. On every eligible Highlands roof job, permits get pulled and inspections get signed through Harris County Engineering, because Highlands is unincorporated and county rules apply, not some city hall up the road. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, walk away.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If something is not done right, you make one call and Tom comes back. No fine print, no runaround. Crews are background-checked and carry the Barrett & Sons name. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We have been serving Highlands families long enough that we see our customers at the hardware store on Saturday.

Our Roofing Services in Highlands

Roof Repair

A missing shingle or a small leak around a vent flashing does not always mean a new roof. Roof repair in Highlands runs $400-$1,800 in most cases. We see a lot of wind-lifted shingles up near Crosby-Lynchburg Road and rusted flashing around chimneys on the 1950s and 1960s homes near the San Jacinto River. Small leaks do not stay small, especially in a humid coastal climate.

Roof Replacement & Installation

For homes with original 3-tab shingles or post-Harvey patches that never quite sealed right, full replacement is often the honest answer. Roof replacement in Highlands runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, decking condition, and whether the home sits in a flood zone requiring additional elevation or materials coordination. We tear off the old roof, inspect the decking, and give you a written update before any additional work happens. No surprise invoices at the end.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing has become a popular choice for Highlands homeowners who want to stop thinking about shingles for good. Metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000. A standing seam metal roof handles wind-driven rain better than almost anything else on the coastal prairie, and it shrugs off the hail that occasionally rolls through Harris County. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems when asphalt is the right call, and we are happy to walk you through metal options if you want something stronger.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs are less common in Highlands than in other parts of Texas, but we do see barrel tile on some of the newer custom builds and a handful of older homes. Tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500. Tile handles heat and humidity well, but a cracked tile over the San Jacinto floodplain’s shifting clay soils can let water in fast. We repair, reset, and replace tile with the same care we bring to every job in Roofing in Highlands.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highlands

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems in Highlands because those are names you can look up before you sign. We do not put mystery brands off a van on your house. For hardscape and drainage work that often accompanies roofing here, we also carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, because gutters and grade work matter when you live in a floodplain. If you need related exterior work done alongside your roof, we also handle Windows & Doors in Highlands and Fence Installation in Highlands through the same crews, the same office, and the same written-change-order process. One contract, one phone number, one Tom Barrett.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Highlands Homes

• Wind-lifted shingles along the ridgeline. Highlands sits exposed to gusts coming off the San Jacinto River and Galveston Bay, and ridge shingles take the worst of it. We see more ridge cap damage here than almost anywhere else in Harris County.
• Leaks around post-Harvey patch jobs. After 2017, a lot of homeowners took the first contractor who showed up. We regularly find tar patches and mismatched shingles that were never properly sealed, especially on the older homes near Highlands Elementary.
• Flashing failures around chimneys and vent pipes. The 1950s through 1970s homes that make up most of Highlands’ housing stock often have original galvanized flashing that has rusted through. Once the flashing goes, water gets into the attic long before you see a stain on the ceiling.
• Drainage problems at roof-to-wall intersections. Flat coastal prairie means little natural slope, so valley metal and step flashing take a beating. Slow leaks at dormer walls and porch tie-ins are a Highlands specialty, and we fix them before a small repair turns into a full redeck.
