AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Irvine
If you live in Irvine, you already know the drill: your roof takes a beating from Santa Ana winds, then the HOA Architectural Review Committee wants to know exactly what materials you’re putting back up there before a single shingle gets pulled. We handle both problems. Barrett & Sons Construction has been roofing homes across Irvine’s villages long enough to know which ARC guidelines apply in Woodbridge versus Quail Hill, and we quote the job in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom or one of his sons on the line, not a call center.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Irvine’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re the owner-operated alternative to the national outfits that quote one number over the phone and hand you a different invoice at the door. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you hire us for Roofing in Irvine, the name on the truck is the name on the contract, and the guy who shakes your hand is the guy who answers when you call about a leak three months later.
Our Irvine customers tell us the same thing: they’ve been burned before by a contractor who said permits were “optional” or who vanished when the ARC sent back a rejection. We pull every permit and we know the village-level design standards that can cost you weeks if they’re ignored. We don’t guess at HOA requirements. We read the guidelines for your specific village before we write the estimate.
Every job comes with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. No fine print, no phone tree.
Our Roofing Services in Irvine
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Irvine typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on what’s failing. We see a lot of lifted flashing around Turtle Rock and Quail Hill, where hillside wind gusts work shingles loose faster than the flat lots down in the villages. If you’ve got a leak, we find the source and fix it properly, not just caulk over it. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Irvine runs $8,000-$20,000 for most homes. That’s a wide range because University Park and Woodbridge have older wood-frame stucco homes from the 1970s that often need decking repairs once the old roof comes off, while newer builds in Portola Springs and Great Park Neighborhoods go faster because the substrate is still clean. We write every allowance down before we start, so there’s no surprise invoice at the end.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Irvine runs $15,000-$40,000. It’s a premium material that handles Santa Ana winds better than most, and it’s gaining traction in the newer villages where homeowners want a 50-year roof in one shot. We install standing seam metal roofs and we’ll tell you honestly whether metal makes sense for your roofline or whether tile is the smarter spend. If your HOA has material restrictions, we’ll help you submit the right paperwork the first time.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Irvine runs $600-$2,500, and barrel tile is everywhere in this city. The problem with tile isn’t usually the tile itself, it’s the underlayment beneath it, which breaks down after 20 or 30 years and lets water through even when the tiles look fine. We work on concrete and clay tile, and we stock matching tiles for the common profiles used in Woodbridge and Northwood so repairs blend instead of standing out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irvine
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On roofs we use GAF and CertainTeed products because they’re proven in Southern California’s sun and wind conditions, and because their warranties are actually worth the paper they’re printed on. We keep common parts and materials stocked for Irvine jobs, which means less waiting when your roof needs attention and the Santa Ana season is already knocking. If you’re also thinking about Windows & Doors in Irvine, we carry Andersen and Marvin there too. Same standard: named brands, written quotes, no surprises.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Irvine Homes
- Santa Ana wind damage. Those dry gusts that come through in the fall don’t just rattle fences. They lift shingles, tear flashing, and send branch debris across rooftops. After a big wind event, we usually find loose ridge caps or missing tiles on the western exposures of homes in Northwood and Westpark.
- Tile underlayment failure in 1980s and 1990s builds. The tiles look fine from the street, but the felt underneath has disintegrated. We see this constantly in Northwood and Westpark, where the original tile roofs are hitting 30 to 40 years old. The fix is a re-roof, not a patch.
- ARC compliance issues on replacement jobs. We’ve lost count of how many Irvine homeowners have called us after another contractor installed a roof that the HOA rejected for not matching the village’s design guidelines. In University Park and Woodbridge, the ARC wants specific tile profiles and color palettes. We know those standards and we file paperwork that passes the first time.
- Hillside drainage and flashing problems in Turtle Rock and Quail Hill. Sloped lots with expansive clay soil put stress on roof valleys and flashing. Water pools where it shouldn’t, and the seasonal ground movement opens small gaps over time. We check the flashing and valley lines closely on every hillside inspection.
Pricing for Roofing in Irvine, CA
Roof repair in Irvine runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs, while a full roof replacement lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and the existing roof condition. Tile and metal run higher: tile repair is $600-$2,500, and metal installation starts at $15,000 and can reach $40,000 for a larger home with a complex roofline. What moves the price is the underlayment condition, the number of existing layers, and whether your village’s ARC requires a specific material. We give you a written, line-item quote before work begins, and any change gets a written change order before it touches the job. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. No trip charge inside the county, and we offer $40 off any repair over $200.
