Hornsby Bend isn’t a generic Central Texas address to us - it’s a stretch of the Colorado River bottom with its own headaches: shifting clay soils, floodplain elevation rules, and older roofs that never quite got the attention they needed. We work here enough to know what we’re walking onto before we climb the ladder.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hornsby Bend’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still puts his name on every contract. When we work in the 78725 area and up and down FM 969, we’re not sending a crew that’s never seen the neighborhood before - Tom’s sons run the jobs, and Tom lives twenty minutes away. That matters in a place where the river defines the ground under your footings and the county defines what you’re allowed to do on top of them.

We’ve walked roofs off Blue Goose Road and Thaxton Road where the decking told the whole story: years of slow leaks, patch jobs from out-of-town crews, shingles that gave up long before they should have. Our customers in Hornsby Bend don’t need a franchise with a call center. They need someone who answers the phone, shows up when he says he will, and puts every price change on paper before a single nail moves. That’s how we’ve worked for over 29 years.

Our standing offer applies here the same as anywhere we work: no trip charge inside the county, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received. You can look up Tom’s license number yourself - that’s the point. He publishes it.

Our Roofing Services in Hornsby Bend

We’re a full-service Roofing contractor, and the work we do in Hornsby Bend covers everything from a twelve-foot patch to a complete tear-off. Here’s what that looks like on the ground.

Roof Repair

Most repair calls in Hornsby Bend start with a visible water stain on the ceiling or a missing shingle after a storm rolls up the river valley. We find the actual source - not just the damp spot - and fix it. Repairs here run $400-$1,800, and we carry GAF shingles and underlayment on the truck so a small job doesn’t turn into two trips.

Roof Replacement & Installation

Houses along the Colorado River bottom take a beating from sun, humidity, and the occasional hail cell that forms east of Austin and hits places like Wells Branch and Hornsby Bend before anyone hears about it on the news. A full replacement in this ZIP runs $8,000-$20,000. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and the inspector works for you - that’s why we like having him on the job.

Metal Roofing

Metal makes sense for a lot of the manufactured and older homes out here. It handles the wind and hail better than asphalt, and it lasts. Standing seam and traditional metal roof installation in Hornsby Bend runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on profile and square footage. Some of the rural lots in the 78725 area have low-slope sections that need special attention, and we address that before the first panel goes up.

Tile Roofing

A handful of custom homes scattered through Hornsby Bend have barrel tile roofs, and they need a different hand than your standard shingle crew. Tile roof repair here runs $600-$2,500. Walking tile wrong cracks more than it fixes, so we send someone who’s done it for years - not whoever happens to be available that morning.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hornsby Bend

We install and repair GAF roofing systems, and we stand by them because we can put the spec sheet in your hand and you can look it up yourself. For several of the homes out here with upgrades and additions, we also work with the same premium materials we use on our Windows & Doors in Hornsby Bend jobs - Andersen and Marvin, with the same rule applying: nothing goes on your home that we wouldn’t put on ours.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Hornsby Bend Homes

• Wind-driven rain along the river bend. Storm fronts funnel up the Colorado River valley and hit Hornsby Bend with gusts that lift shingle edges and drive water sideways. We regularly see ridge caps torn off on homes along FM 969 while properties a mile west barely lose a leaf.
• Older structures with deferred maintenance. A good portion of the housing stock in 78725 predates modern Travis County floodplain enforcement. Many of those roofs were installed on a budget, patched repeatedly, and the decking underneath is now soft in places the homeowner never saw.
• Expansive clay soil shifting exterior walls. The deep alluvial silty clay along the river bottom expands and contracts through wet-dry cycles, and that movement shows up at the roof line first - gaps at the fascia, pulled flashing, and hairline cracks that let water in quietly.
• Flood zone elevation compliance surprises. When a substantial roof repair crosses the county’s “substantial improvement” threshold, the whole structure can get pulled into floodplain code requirements - elevation certificates, flood vents, the works. Most contractors never mention it until it’s too late. We flag it early, in writing, before you’re committed to a scope that doesn’t pencil out.
