Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is San Jose’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and runs it the way San Jose homeowners keep telling us they wish every contractor would: name on the truck, sons on the crew, prices in writing. That matters most when you’ve already been burned once by a phone quote that didn’t survive first contact with the job site. We don’t hand you a number and then revise it later. Every scope, every allowance, every change order arrives on paper before work begins, and if it’s not done right, Tom comes back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written into every contract.

Roofing in San Jose is different from roofing anywhere else in the Bay Area, and we’ve lost count of how many times a homeowner in Campbell or East Foothills asked us to fix a roof that a crew from across the bay installed without thinking about our sun, our Santa Clara Valley Adobe clay, or our winter rain pattern. We know that a roof on Alum Rock Avenue facing the foothills takes a different beating than one tucked into a shaded cul-de-sac off Camden. We quote for the actual house, not the city average. A live person answers our phone 24/7, and you’ll see Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number published right on our site. Look us up before you sign anything.

Our Roofing Services in San Jose

Our Roofing team handles everything from a single leak to a full tear-off and replacement, on homes from the 1950s tract houses near West San Jose to newer builds up in the 95120 hills. Here are the four services San Jose homeowners call us about most.

Roof Repair

Roof repair in San Jose usually runs $470-$2,125, depending on how far the water has traveled and what decking sits beneath. The late-Victorian and Craftsman homes in the 95110-95112 corridor hide damage differently than a stucco box from the 1960s, and we’ll only repair what actually needs repairing. If your roof is older and the underlayment is shot, we’ll tell you straight whether a repair will hold or whether you’re spending good money after bad.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in San Jose typically costs $9,440-$23,600, and we install GAF and CertainTeed systems because those are brands you can look up, not mystery stock off a van. The May-October dry window in San Jose is the right time to schedule, because our Mediterranean climate concentrates nearly all rainfall between November and April. We pull permits on every eligible job and get the final inspection signed before we call the work done.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofs are gaining ground in San Jose’s hill neighborhoods like Communications Hill and East Foothills, where wildfire-adjacent lots reward a Class A fire-rated assembly. Metal roof installation in San Jose runs $17,700-$47,200. A standing seam roof sheds the heavy winter rain fast and handles summer sun without curling or cracking the way older asphalt surfaces do on south-facing slopes.

Tile Roofing

Tile is everywhere in the 95118 and 95120 ZIPs, especially barrel tile on Mission and Spanish Revival homes. Tile roof repair in San Jose runs $710-$2,950, and it’s a job you want a careful crew on, because walking a tile roof wrong cracks more than it fixes. We match existing profiles and colors rather than telling you the old profile is “close enough.”

Trusted Brands We Service in San Jose

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, Simonton windows, and Ply Gem products across San Jose, which means the materials on your house have names you can verify and warranties that trace back to a real manufacturer. That matters when a hailstorm rolls through Campbell or a windstorm tears shingles off a roof near Communications Hill and you need replacement parts fast. Our team stocks common profiles and colors for San Jose homes, so you’re not waiting weeks on a special order while the dry season slips away, and we can source Jerith service in San Jose when your project calls for it.

Common Roofing Problems We See in San Jose Homes

• Adobe clay heave cracking rafters and fascia. Santa Clara Valley’s expansive Adobe clay swells during winter rain and shrinks hard every summer drought cycling that moves soil and shifts framing. Over years, that motion opens hairline cracks and separates flashing on older San Jose homes, letting water into places you won’t see until the ceiling stains.
• Winter-dry rot in eaves and decking. Nearly all of San Jose’s rain falls between November and April, and when gutters clog or flashing fails, winter water sits in shaded eaves for months. By May, homeowners find soft decking and rotted fascia that should have been caught in February.
• Sun-bleached shingle granulation on south-facing slopes. San Jose gets serious summer sun, and south-facing roof planes on 1950s and 60s tract homes bake hard for five straight months. Granules slough off, shingles curl, and the next winter’s rain finds its way under the exposed edges.
• Unreinforced older structures with weak anchorage. The Hayward and Calaveras fault systems run through and east of San Jose. Pre-1980 homes around the 95110-95113 corridor often lack modern shear walls and code-compliant anchor bolts, so any roof replacement on those houses has to address seismic detailing, not just shingles. If your house predates 1980, we’ll talk to you about it before the permit stage, not after the inspector shows up.

If you’re dealing with any of these, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll come look.
