Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Murphy
If you own a home in Murphy, your roof is probably somewhere between 10 and 25 years old right now, which means it’s entering the window where small problems become visible ones. We see it every week across 75094: shingle granules collecting at the bottom of a downspout, a ridge line starting to look soft, a water stain blooming across a bedroom ceiling after a hard storm. Barrett & Sons Construction has been putting roofs on homes in this part of Collin County long enough to know exactly what Murphy’s clay soil, hail season, and brick-veneer housing stock do to a roofline. Call (877) 610-1318 and a real person answers, not a voicemail system.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Murphy’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work in Murphy today. You won’t get a bolt-on franchise operation with a different project manager on every call. You get a family that lives in this metro area, pulls permits on every eligible job, and puts every price change in writing before a single nail moves. When a Murphy homeowner looks up our license number, it matches the name on the truck and the name on the contract.
Our reputation around Murphy rests on the 90-Day Done Right Promise written into every contract. If something isn’t right after we leave, Tom comes back and makes it right with one phone call. We put that on paper because most homeowners in this city have already been through the other kind of contractor, the one who quoted one price over the phone and handed over a different bill when the crew showed up. That’s not how we work, and it never has been.
We carry GAF and CertainTeed on our roof jobs because those are brands a homeowner can research themselves. We don’t install mystery materials off the back of a van. And because we’re owner-operated, the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person accountable for the finished roof. You’ll see Tom or one of his sons on site in Murphy most days, not a random crew of subcontractors.
Our Roofing Services in Murphy
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Murphy typically runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what the storm or the years have done. Hail from spring storms punches straight through older shingles, and the flat, expansive lots throughout Murphy mean nothing slows the wind down before it hits your roof line. We tell every customer the same thing: a small leak caught now is a $600 repair; water that sits for six months becomes a sheathing replacement and a mold question. Call us before the next storm season, not after.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement for a typical Murphy brick-veneer single-family home runs $8,000 to $20,000. Most homes in 75094 were built between 2000 and 2015 by volume builders like Centex, KB Home, and David Weekley, and that era’s architectural shingles are now aging out all at once. What that means for you: if homes on your street are getting new roofs, yours is probably due within a year or two. We pull permits on replacements and stand behind the work with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Murphy runs $15,000 to $40,000, and it’s a strong choice for homeowners who plan to stay in this house long-term. Standing seam metal handles hail better than asphalt, which matters in a city that takes direct hits from North Texas storm cells. Clay soil movement is also less of a threat to a properly fastened metal roof than to rigid materials, because the roof system flexes instead of cracking at the fasteners. If your HOA covenant allows metal, we’ll walk you through the color and profile approval process before the permit goes in.

Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Murphy typically runs $600 to $2,500 for broken or slipped barrel tile. We see this most often on the higher-end custom sections of Murphy where Mediterranean and Spanish-style elevations were approved during the master-planned buildout. Underlayment failure is the quiet problem behind tile roofs: the tile looks fine from the street, but the waterproof layer beneath has broken down. Our crew checks the underlayment every time, because we don’t want you paying for a tile swap that leaves the leak in place.

Trusted Brands We Service in Murphy
We install and repair the brands a Murphy homeowner can look up without a salesperson in the room: GAF and CertainTeed on asphalt, standing seam profiles on metal, and quality clay and concrete barrel tile when that’s what the elevation requires. We’re also honest about what we don’t stock. If your roof has an uncommon profile, we order it in before we quote you a completion date, so you don’t get a surprise delay wrapped in corporate language about supply chains. For homes that need more than a roof, our crews can also coordinate with our Windows & Doors in Murphy work, which often makes sense after storm damage moves from roof to openings.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Murphy Homes
Because Murphy’s housing stock went up almost all at once, failure patterns repeat from one subdivision phase to the next. Built by the same crews with the same materials, the same defects show up in the same places. Here’s what we see most:
- Hail impact damage during spring storm lines. Murphy sits dead in the path of Collin County’s seasonal hail corridor, and the flat, treeless stretches of subdivision land offer no windbreak. We regularly find soft spots and granule loss concentrated on the south and west roof faces because that’s where the storm front hits first.
- Clay soil movement transferring into the roof structure. The expansive Blackland Prairie clay under Murphy shrinks in summer droughts and heaves in wet winters. Foundation movement from that soil cycle can crack brick mortar and shift door frames, and it also can put subtle torque on roof trusses. We look for that on every repair.
- Builder-era flashing failures around chimneys and valleys. The 2000s buildout in Murphy was fast, and we’ve pulled back enough shingles to see where flashing was under-driven or omitted entirely on some phases. If your subdivision was built in one accelerated stretch, your flashing is likely the same age and the same quality as your neighbor’s.
- Clogged or undersized gutters during heavy spring rain. Murphy’s clay does not absorb water well. When gutters overflow, water sheets down the fascia and into the eaves. We repair the roof, then tell you straight if your gutter system needs a replacement to protect the new roof. We can also handle that work, and we coordinate with Fence Installation in Murphy when a storm takes out both a roofline and a fence line.
Pricing for Roofing in Murphy, TX
Roof repair in Murphy runs $400 to $1,800. A full replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard brick-veneer single-family home, with metal installations running $15,000 to $40,000 and tile repairs at $600 to $2,500. What pushes a number up or down is simple: roof pitch, number of valleys and dormers, tear-off depth, and whether your HOA requires a specific shingle color or profile. We quote it in writing, line by line, and if anything changes after the paper is signed, you get another piece of paper before the work starts, not a line item at the end. We offer free estimates with no trip charge inside the county, plus a $40 discount on any repair over $200 and a standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you real numbers, not a guess.

FAQs - Roofing in Murphy
We answer the phone 24/7, and for active leaks in Murphy we work to get someone on your roof within one to two business days, often sooner. A live person takes the call, not a call center. If water is actively coming in, we can tarp the affected area the same day we schedule it, then come back for the permanent repair. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you when we can be there.
Yes, we work across all of 75094, from Maxwell Creek to Rolling Ridge Estates to Hunters Ridge. We know the HOA approval process in Murphy’s master-planned communities, and we factor covenant review time into our schedule before the first permit is pulled. That’s not a surprise to us, because we’ve navigated it for years. Bring us your HOA’s exterior modification form and we’ll help you fill it out correctly.
Not fundamentally, but hail resistance matters more here because Murphy’s flat, open subdivision landscape gives storms a clean shot at your roof line. Clay soil movement from the Blackland Prairie also means we check for roof structure strain from foundation shifts on every job. We recommend Class 4 impact-rated shingles for most Murphy replacements, and we’ll quote that option alongside standard architectural shingles so you can compare the numbers yourself.
Roughly the same, with some variation based on HOA material requirements. Murphy’s home sizes and roof pitches are comparable to Sachse and Wylie, so a full replacement generally stays in that $8,000 to $20,000 range. If your HOA mandates a specific premium shingle color or profile, that can add a few hundred dollars to the material line. We show you every line item in writing before you sign anything.
Every roof we install or repair comes with the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything is wrong with the workmanship inside 90 days, one call brings Tom Barrett back out to Murphy to make it right. The manufacturer warranties on the shingles or metal we install carry their own terms, which we explain plainly before you sign. We don’t hide behind fine print, and we don’t make a promise we can’t keep.
If your Roofing concern is getting worse, don’t wait for the next storm while a small repair becomes a sheathing replacement. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate, and talk to a person who will be accountable for the work from the first phone call to the final inspection.
