Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Manor’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from a call center in another state. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his name is on the truck, on the contract, and on the license plate. That matters in Manor, where neighbors talk, and where the same names show up at the hardware store every Saturday. You can look us up before you sign anything.
Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on every visit. When we give you a price for roof work in Manor, that price is in writing. If anything changes, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s how Tom has run things for over 29 years, and it’s why Manor homeowners call us back for the next project.
We also answer our own phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you have water coming through the ceiling at 9 p.m., you don’t want voicemail. You can reach us at (877) 610-1318.
Our Roofing Services in Manor
We handle the full range of Roofing work in Manor, from small leak patches to complete tear-offs and standing seam metal installs. Here’s what we do most often in this area, with the Manor-specific context that matters.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most of Manor’s housing stock dates from the 2000s to 2020s, built fast in master-planned communities like ShadowGlen and Whisper Valley. Builder-grade asphalt shingles start to fail here earlier than the manufacturer’s rating suggests, because the underlying Blackland clay shifts framing and roof planes. A full replacement in Manor runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on pitch, square footage, and material. We pull permits on every eligible job and coordinate with your HOA’s architectural committee before work begins.
Roof Repair
Repairs in Manor typically cost $400-$1,800. The most common calls we get involve cracked shingles along ridges and valleys, loose flashing around chimney and vent penetrations, and lifted eaves caused by clay-driven framing movement. Small leaks don’t stay small on Blackland Prairie soil. The same moisture that swells the clay finds its way into roofing felt and decking. We fix the leak and check the perimeter drainage that often caused it.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is the best answer to what Manor’s soil does to conventional asphalt roofs. It costs more upfront - $15,000-$40,000 depending on profile and gauge - but it doesn’t flex and crack the way shingles do when the structure shifts. We’ve installed metal roofs throughout Manor, including homes in Whisper Valley where the community’s geothermal grid and solar-ready specs require careful coordination around buried loop fields and pre-run conduit. GAF and CertainTeed asphalt lines are available too, but for Manor’s clay, metal is worth a serious look.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and concrete tile roofs exist in some higher-end Manor builds, and tile repair runs $600-$2,500 for typical ridge, valley, or broken-tile work. Tile handles heat well, which matters in Central Texas summers, but the underlying framing movement in Manor can crack mortar and loosen tiles. We match existing tile profiles and colors, and we document everything in writing before we start.

Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your HOA’s architectural committee will ask for.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Manor Homes
Manor isn’t like older Austin neighborhoods with 1950s pier-and-beam cottages. This is a city of slab-on-grade tract homes built at volume, sitting on some of the most expansive soil in North America. Here’s what that produces:
- Premature shingle cracking along ridges and valleys. As the Houston Black clay swells in wet months and shrinks in drought, framing shifts just enough to stress shingle edges. We see cracks in Manor homes that are only 4-6 years old.
- Gutter and fascia failures on post-tension slabs. Oversized or undersized gutter systems from the original build can’t handle the uneven runoff that Manor’s grading produces. Fascia rot and soffit damage follow, especially on two-story elevations off ShadowGlen Parkway.
- Lifted eaves and step cracks in exterior walls. These aren’t just cosmetic. When clay movement lifts a wall plate, the roof plane moves with it, opening gaps at flashing points. It’s a structural symptom that shows up in the roof first.
- Solar and geothermal roof penetrations in Whisper Valley. The community-wide geothermal grid and solar-ready specs mean roof penetrations sit near buried loop fields and conduit runs. An inexperienced roofer can damage those systems, voiding both the builder’s warranty and the system warranty. We know where they run and how to work around them.
Pricing for Roofing in Manor, TX
Here’s what you can expect to pay for roof work in Manor. These are real numbers for this market, not national averages from a website.
| Service | Typical Manor Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 - $2,500 |
What moves the number? Square footage and pitch drive tear-off and material costs. HOA-required materials add cost, especially in Whisper Valley where the architectural committee’s approved metal profiles cost more than standard profiles. Access matters too - two-story homes in ShadowGlen with steep pitches are more labor-intensive than single-story homes off FM 973. Every estimate we give in Manor is written, line-itemed, and free. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule one.

FAQs - Roofing in Manor
The short answer is Blackland clay. Manor sits on Houston Black clay, among the most expansive soils in North America. It swells dramatically in wet months and shrinks in drought, and that volumetric shift moves post-tension slabs and the framing above them. Within 3-7 years, that movement can crack builder-grade asphalt shingles along ridges and valleys and open flashing gaps. It’s not weather alone - it’s the ground under your house. We see this pattern constantly in ShadowGlen, and the fix usually involves correcting drainage at the perimeter before the roof work goes in. For an exact assessment, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property with you.
Yes, it does. Whisper Valley was built with a community-wide geothermal grid and solar-ready conduit infrastructure, which means buried ground-source heat pump loops and pre-run conduit lines pass near roof penetrations and exterior wall chases. A roofer who doesn’t know where those lines run can hit them with a ladder, a nail, or a tear-off dumpster, and that voids both the builder’s structural warranty and the geothermal system warranty. We map those locations before any work starts and coordinate with the HOA’s architectural committee to confirm the approved metal profile or shingle color. You won’t get a surprise warranty rejection because somebody didn’t ask the right question. Estimates are free - call (877) 610-1318.
Not if the work is permitted and inspected, and not if the change order documents everything in writing. Builder warranties in Manor’s master-planned communities typically survive a properly permitted roof replacement, because the structural warranty covers framing and foundation, not the roof covering itself. What voids warranties is unpermitted work that alters roof structure, like cutting into trusses for a skylight without engineering sign-off. We pull permits on every eligible job and we put every change order in writing before any work proceeds. The permit inspector works for you, not for us - that’s why we like having him sign off. Call (877) 610-1318 with your warranty document in hand and we’ll tell you exactly what applies.
The most common first-upgrade issues are premature shingle cracking along ridges and valleys, undersized gutters that accelerate fascia rot, and flashing failures at chimney and vent penetrations. These homes were built fast, and the builder-grade materials plus the Blackland clay movement means roofs start showing stress before the first decade is out. A full replacement is often the better long-term call than repeated repairs. For a typical Manor home, roof replacement runs $8,000-$20,000. Get a free written estimate at (877) 610-1318.
In most Manor master-planned communities, yes. HOAs in subdivisions like ShadowGlen and Whisper Valley typically have architectural guidelines that govern shingle color, metal profile, and sometimes material type. The approval process is usually straightforward if you submit the manufacturer’s spec sheet and a color sample. We handle that paperwork for you as part of the job. The last thing you want is to install a roof, then have the HOA send a fix-it notice because the shingle color wasn’t approved. We make sure the approval is in hand before the first bundle comes off the truck. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you navigate the full process.
If your roof is showing cracks, lifting, or leaks and you live in Manor, the worst thing you can do is wait. Clay movement doesn’t pause, and water finds the gap eventually.

Then ask anyone on your street - somebody already knows us.
