AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Richland Hills
Roof replacement in Richland Hills typically runs $8,000-$20,000, and roof repair usually falls between $400 and $1,800. Those are honest numbers for this city, not national averages pulled from a spreadsheet. Richland Hills is essentially fully platted with no vacant land, so roofing work here is almost always on mid-century ranch homes where original framing, aging electrical, and un-permitted additions must be addressed before a new roof can pass final inspection. That changes how we scope, bid, and schedule every job we take on here. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on any roofing work in Richland Hills.
Key Takeaways for Richland Hills Homeowners

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews here in Richland Hills. That’s not marketing copy. When you call our office, a live person picks up the phone, and the person who shows up to look at your roof is someone whose name is on the truck. We don’t run a franchise model, and we don’t send out strangers from a call center two states away. Residents in Richland Hills see the same faces on every visit, and that matters when you’re spending five figures on a roof.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract we sign in Richland Hills. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That promise means more in a city like this, where neighbors talk and word travels fast. We have built our reputation here one roof at a time, and we intend to keep it that way.
We know Richland Hills because we work here constantly. We know the permit office, we know the inspectors, and we know what they look for on a mid-century ranch roof. We also know that the last contractor most Richland Hills homeowners used told them permits were optional. Around here, that’s how you end up with a roof that can’t pass an inspection and a bill that keeps growing. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Roofing Services in Richland Hills
Roof Repair in Richland Hills
Roof repair in Richland Hills runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs, though the final number depends on what we find once we open things up. On a mid-century ranch, a small leak at a valley flashing is rarely just a flashing issue. It’s often a symptom of rafter sag, foundation movement, or an original vent boot that rusted through decades ago. We scope repairs with that in mind, not just the visible damage. For a free roof inspection in Richland Hills, call (877) 610-1318.
Roof Replacement & Installation in Richland Hills
Roof replacement in Richland Hills typically costs $8,000-$20,000, and we write every allowance and scope item in writing before the first shingle comes off. The homes here were built between roughly 1950 and 1975, which means original 2×4 or 2×6 rafter connections, single-pane windows, and undersized attic insulation are common. Some of those conditions have to be addressed before a new roof can pass final inspection. We identify them during the estimate, not after tear-off. You’ll know the full scope before we start.
Metal Roofing in Richland Hills
Metal roof installation in Richland Hills runs $15,000-$40,000. Stone-coated steel and standing seam systems both perform well here, and they shed hail better than asphalt in most cases. But a metal roof is heavier than shingles in some profiles, and on 1960s ranch framing, that can be a problem. We evaluate rafter spacing, connection points, and ridge bracing before recommending a metal system. Sometimes a reinforcement scope is needed. We’ll tell you before you sign anything, in writing.
Tile Roofing in Richland Hills
Tile roof repair in Richland Hills runs $600-$2,500, and full tile roof replacement follows the same structural evaluation we do for metal. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are uncommon on original Richland Hills ranches, but we do see them on later additions and custom homes. Tile is heavy, and Blackland Prairie clay movement can crack tile at ridge and hip lines. We repair those properly, with attention to the underlayment, not just the visible tile.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richland Hills
We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, both of which we stock locally for fast turnaround on Richland Hills jobs. These are brands you can look up, not mystery products off a van. On the hardscape and drainage side of things, we also work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge pavers when a roofing job turns into a grading or drainage correction project. If you want a roof that lasts through the next hailstorm, these are the materials we recommend and stand behind. Our Roofing team carries the same premium-brand depth we bring to every trade we touch.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes
- Sagging or split rafter connections. Original 2×4 and 2×6 rafters on 1950s-1970s ranch homes were not designed for modern shingle weight, let alone repeated hail impact. We see sagging ridge lines and split rafter tails on most Richland Hills homes that haven’t been structurally reinforced.
- Chronic leaks at ridge and valley flashings. The expansive Blackland Prairie clay under Richland Hills shrinks and heaves with North Texas rainfall cycles. That movement racks roof framing, which cracks sealant and opens flashings. Patching the flashing without addressing the drainage and foundation movement just means the leak comes back next year.
- Un-permitted additions with improperly tied roof planes. A surprising number of Richland Hills homes have additions from the 1980s that were never permitted. The roof planes on those additions were often framed undersized and tied in incorrectly. A simple reroof can trigger a code correction scope that changes the timeline and the draw schedule.
- Original galvanized plumbing vents and flashing. On a 1960s brick ranch off Rufe Snow Drive, our crew replaced a hail-damaged roof and discovered original galvanized plumbing vents and 60-amp electrical service that had to be brought up to current code before the city would sign off on the permit. That’s a typical Richland Hills scenario, not an outlier.

FAQs - Roofing in Richland Hills
Richland Hills has essentially no vacant land left, which means every roofing job here is a renovation on an existing mid-century home, not a new build. That drives up cost because we are almost always working around existing conditions: original rafters, aging electrical, un-permitted additions, and active permit requirements. A roof replacement in Richland Hills typically runs $8,000-$20,000, and the structural and code corrections are usually the variable. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate specific to your home.
Most roof replacements and many roof repairs in Richland Hills require a permit, and Barrett & Sons pulls the permit and schedules the inspection on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having him involved. If your job triggers a code correction, we’ll put it in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific project requires.
Look for sagging ridge lines, split or cracked rafter tails visible from the attic, doors and windows that stick or rack, and chronic leaks at valley and ridge flashings. On Richland Hills’s Blackland Prairie clay, foundation movement shows up as roof framing movement. If you see these signs, get a structural inspection before any reroof. We include that evaluation in our free estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule it.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the rafter spacing, connection points, and the weight of the specific metal system you choose. Stone-coated steel is lighter than standing seam in some profiles, but 1960s rafters were framed to older standards. We evaluate the structure before recommending a metal system, and if reinforcement is needed, we put it in writing before you sign. Metal roof installation in Richland Hills runs $15,000-$40,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for a structural assessment.
It can affect it significantly. Un-permitted additions from the 1980s frequently have improperly tied roof planes and undersized framing, which means a simple reroof can trigger a code correction scope before the city will sign off on the permit. That changes the draw schedule and the final cost. We identify these conditions during the estimate and put the full scope in writing before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what we find.
