We’ve worked on both the adobe historic structures around the plaza and the piecemeal-built colonia homes along the floodplain, so we know exactly what this town’s roofs go through in August - and what your Driveway & Pavers - San Elizario neighbors have dealt with too.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is San Elizario’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he’s built it the way he builds a roof: with his own two hands where it matters, and with his name attached to every job. When you call us about Roofing, you’re not calling a franchise that dispatches strangers from three counties away. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom himself shows up on most job sites around San Elizario to walk the roof before anyone touches a shingle.
What that means for you is simple: the man who signs the contract is the man who stands behind it. Every San Elizario job gets a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No phone trees, no out-of-state call center, no “your warranty claim is being processed.” Just a contractor who lives twenty minutes away and wants to see his work hold up through the next Chihuahuan Desert summer.
We also pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible roofing job. A lot of folks in this area have been burned by a contractor who told them permits weren’t necessary. Ask the inspector yourself if you want, but the permit is there to protect you, not to slow things down. The inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Calls to (877) 610-1318 are answered by a live person, any hour of the day. When you’ve got a leak at 2 a.m. and monsoon water is coming through the kitchen ceiling, you don’t want a voicemail box.
Our Roofing Services in San Elizario
Roof Repair
Roof repair in San Elizario runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs. We see a lot of flashing failures around roof penetrations and valley lines, especially on the older adobe-adjacent structures near the San Elizario Plaza where rooflines meet thick earthen walls at odd angles. A small leak left alone through one summer of 110°F heat followed by a July downpour turns into rotted decking and compromised underlayment fast. We fix the leak, not just the stain on your ceiling.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in San Elizario runs $8,000-$20,000, mostly driven by square footage, pitch, decking condition, and whether we’re pulling off one layer or three. Homes built incrementally over the decades often surprise everyone with multiple layers of old material hiding rot underneath. We write the tear-off scope, the material scope, and any plywood replacement into the contract before the first nail comes out. If we find more rot underneath, you get a written change order before it’s touched. No surprise invoices at the end.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in San Elizario runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the system, and on this stretch of the Rio Grande floodplain, metal makes real sense. Standing seam metal holds up to the UV exposure that chews through asphalt shingles in a decade or less, and it sheds monsoon rain fast. We install standing seam systems backed by GAF and other premium manufacturers, and we’ll walk you through the exact panel profile and gauge before you sign anything.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in San Elizario runs $600-$2,500 for most fixes, and full tile roof work trends toward the higher end of replacement pricing. Around the historic district, barrel tile and flat clay tile are common on the older structures, and you can’t just swap in any tile you find at a big box store. The profile, the weight load, the underlayment, and the fastening schedule all matter, especially when a THC review is part of the job. We match tile profiles to the existing roof and write every step into the scope.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Elizario
We install products you can look up, from GAF shingle systems on replacement roofs to specialty underlayments that hold up to Chihuahuan Desert UV without breaking down. When a San Elizario customer needs a specific material matched, whether that’s a clay tile profile for a historic building or a standing seam panel for a San Elizario Home Additions & ADU, we source it through established suppliers rather than whatever’s cheapest on the shelf this week. That means you get a roof you can verify, on materials you can research, with a crew that knows how to install it on this town’s housing stock.
Common Roofing Problems We See in San Elizario Homes
- Monsoon-driven flashing failures: The July through September storms hit flat-roofed additions and porch tie-ins hard, and old galvanized flashing at wall-roof intersections is usually the first to go. We replace it with durable material and re-secure every penetration.
- UV-degraded underlayment: San Elizario’s summer sun doesn’t just age shingles; it bakes the underlayment until it’s brittle. By the time you see a leak, the protective layer underneath is often shot, which is why a patch job done wrong becomes a re-roof later.
- Adobe-adjacent roofline gaps: Around the San Elizario Plaza and the historic district, thick adobe walls expand and contract differently than modern framing. Gaps open up at the roofline, and monsoon wind drives water straight into them.
- Incremental construction seams on colonia homes: Many homes here were built a room at a time, sometimes over decades. Roof sections meet at odd angles, drainage was never engineered, and water pools where it shouldn’t. We re-work those valleys and crickets so water sheds the way it should.

FAQs - Roofing in San Elizario
Most inspections in San Elizario can be scheduled within a day or two, and when there’s an active leak or storm damage, we prioritize getting out there quickly from our El Paso office. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will get you on the schedule. There’s no trip charge inside the county.
Yes. We understand that patching historic adobe walls with standard Portland cement is a structural mistake that traps moisture inside the mud brick and causes spalling within a few seasons. When masonry touches the roof line on those structures, we use earthen or hydraulic-lime mixes compatible with the original walls, and we coordinate with THC guidelines where they apply. This isn’t work most El Paso-area contractors are set up to do.
Roof repair in San Elizario runs $400-$1,800, which is in line with what you’d pay in Socorro or Fabens for comparable work. The difference here is that some homes around the floodplain and the older colonia areas have roof conditions that drive additional scope once you’re up there, which is why we write everything down before we start. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with a written number.
We do true emergency work: storm damage, active leaks, sections of roof opened up by wind. When a monsoon cell rips through and water starts coming in, call (877) 610-1318. A live person answers, and we’ll get a crew moving your way.
