Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is La Feria’s Preferred Roofing Company

We’re owner-operated and have been since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, and his sons run the crews. When you call us about a roof in La Feria, you’re not getting routed to a call center in another state. A live person answers, 24/7. We don’t dispatch strangers. The crew that shows up carries the Barrett & Sons name and has been background-checked. That matters when someone’s walking your roofline on a semi-rural lot off FM 506 or out near Solis Road.

We’ve worked on enough La Feria homes to know that the biggest roofing problem here isn’t rain. It’s the ground under the house. Harlingen clay expands and contracts with seasonal moisture, and on homes built during the 1960s through 1990s agricultural boom, that movement racks trusses, pops nails, and pulls flashing loose. We scope for that before we quote, not after we tear off. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We live in the Valley. If something’s wrong with your roof, we want to know about it.

Our Roofing Services in La Feria

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in La Feria means more than tearing off old shingles and nailing down new ones. Most homes in the 78559 ZIP are single-story, slab-on-grade, masonry block or stucco-over-frame. Roof pitch is usually low. Eave overhangs on older agricultural-worker dwellings are often minimal, which is why wind-driven rain from storms like Hurricane Hanna found its way behind fascia boards and rotted subfloor at the wall line. We re-deck where needed, add drip edge, and install underlayment that meets current Cameron County requirements. On any re-roof over 50% of the roof area, the county now requires ice-and-water shield at valleys and penetrations. We plan for that in the original scope, so it doesn’t show up as a surprise change order later.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofs are gaining ground in La Feria for good reason. Standing seam and exposed-fastener panels hold up to the subtropical heat better than composite shingles, and they shrug off the kind of wind loads we see during Gulf storm season. A standing seam installation on a typical La Feria slab-on-grade home runs $15,000 to $40,000, depending on gauge, seam profile, and whether we’re tearing off the old roof or going over it. We stock common panel profiles locally so La Feria customers aren’t waiting on a delivery out of Houston. If you’re considering metal, ask us about the February 2021 freeze retrofit details: many older roofs had no ice-and-water shield at all, and metal done right integrates that protection at every transition and penetration.

Emergency & Storm Damage

When a Gulf storm tears through Cameron County, roof damage in La Feria is rarely just missing shingles. We see lift damage along rakes, flashing pulled away from chimneys, and water intrusion at the wall line where eave overhangs are too shallow. Our crews respond to La Feria storm damage calls as fast as county roads allow. We tarp immediately, then give you a written scope with line-item pricing before any work begins. Storm repairs are one of the few places speed actually matters. We don’t promise same-day cosmetics. We do promise a written plan and a crew that shows up when we say they will.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs in La Feria are less common than composite or metal, but we see them on some of the more substantial homes and a few semi-rural properties. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile hold up well in the Valley heat, but the underlayment underneath is the weak point. When Harlingen clay shifts a foundation, tile roofs crack at the hips and ridges. We repair individual tiles, re-bed ridge caps, and replace underlayment where it’s failed. Tile roof repair in La Feria typically runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles need resetting and whether the batten system has been compromised by years of thermal cycling.

Trusted Brands We Service in La Feria

We install GAF and CertainTeed asphalt shingles, standing seam metal from multiple domestic mills, and underlayment systems rated for high-heat, high-wind South Texas conditions. We don’t bring mystery brands off the back of a van. You can look up every material we quote. For La Feria customers, we keep common shingle colors and metal trim stock available locally, so a mid-job repair doesn’t stall waiting on parts. The Valley sun punishes cheap materials. We won’t install them, because we’re the ones who’d have to come back and explain why a roof failed five years early.

Common Roofing Problems We See in La Feria Homes

• Clay-soil racking that pops fasteners and tears underlayment. Harlingen clay under La Feria moves more than most people realize. On a 1970s or 1980s home, that movement can rack the framing enough to pop roofing nails and tear the underlayment, and the leak only shows up after a heavy Valley rain soaks through the gaps.
• Wind-driven rain getting behind fascia on older homes. A lot of La Feria’s original agricultural-worker dwellings were built with minimal eave overhangs and no drip edge. Storm winds push rain up and under the first course of shingles, and the subfloor rots at the wall line. You won’t see it from the ground until the drywall inside starts staining.
• Missing ice-and-water shield after the February 2021 freeze. Older La Feria roofs were not built for freezing temperatures. The 2021 freeze exposed valleys and penetrations that had no ice-and-water shield at all. Cameron County code now requires it on any re-roof over 50% of the roof area, and we spec it on every replacement we do.
• Improper flashing at chimneys and pipe boots on slab-on-grade homes. When a slab shifts even an inch, flashings that were tight at installation pull away from the chimney or pipe. We see this constantly on 1970s and 1980s construction in La Feria. On a semi-rural lot off FM 506, our crew replaced a 1980s stucco-over-frame roof where clay movement had pulled the original chimney flashing away by nearly an inch. We re-framed the sagging rake, installed new metal drip edge and step flashing, and laid Owens Corning Duration shingles rated for 130 mph winds. Because the county permit required a structural inspection sign-off before we could close the roof, we coordinated the county inspector to verify the new hurricane ties on the trusses, tying the roof to the walls the way the original builder never did.
