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

We’re not a franchise sending strangers to your door. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we work in San Marino, the person who shook your hand at the estimate is usually the same person on the roof checking the underlayment. That matters on a street like Lombardy Road or St. Albans Drive, where neighbors talk and a contractor who cuts corners doesn’t get invited back.

San Marino homeowners tend to do their homework. They check license numbers, they ask about the Design Review Board, and they want to know whether we’ve handled original Gladding-McBean tile before. We have. We pull permits on every eligible job because the DRB in San Marino expects it, and the inspector’s sign-off is paper you can keep. Every price change on a San Marino job arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. If something’s not done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. That’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print.

Our San Marino customers get a live person on the phone 24/7, not a voicemail. Calls answered by a real person, even at 2 a.m. when a leak opens up during a storm.

Our Roofing Services in San Marino

Roof Repair

Roof repair in San Marino usually runs $400 to $1,800, and the most common calls we get are for broken or slipped clay tiles, failed flashing around chimneys, and deteriorated underlayment under barrel tile. On a 1930s Spanish Colonial, a small leak near a valley can mean water traveling under original tile for months before it shows on a ceiling. We trace the actual source, not just the stain.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in San Marino runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on roof size, pitch, tear-off layers, and material. The older estates around 91108 and 91118 were built with old-growth Douglas fir framing that’s usually in good shape, but the underlayment and tile tend to be nearing end of life. We replace what’s actually failing, and if the decking is solid, we don’t sell you a re-deck you don’t need.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation in San Marino runs $15,000 to $40,000, and we see more interest in standing seam from homeowners who want the look without losing the clean architectural lines the DRB cares about. A properly installed standing seam roof in San Marino holds up well to the Santa Ana winds that come off the San Gabriel Mountains, and it doesn’t crack like tile when tree debris hits it.

Tile Roofing

Tile roof repair in San Marino runs $600 to $2,500. If you have original barrel tile on a Mediterranean or Spanish Revival home, matching the profile matters. We source period-appropriate tile profiles, including Ludowici-style profiles, rather than slapping on a generic replacement that looks wrong from the street. The DRB will ask about this, and so should you.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Marino

We install GAF roofing systems and CertainTeed products, and we stock local parts in our Los Angeles shop so San Marino customers aren’t waiting on a warehouse order when a repair can be done that week. When a job calls for metal, we work in standing seam systems built to last. You can look up every brand we install by name before you sign anything. We also handle Windows & Doors in San Marino for homeowners who want the same written-change-order approach on the rest of the envelope.

Common Roofing Problems We See in San Marino Homes

• Failed underlayment under original tile. Most San Marino estates still have beautiful old clay tile, but the felt or membrane underneath degrades after 70-90 years. The tile looks fine, then a leak appears on the ceiling. We see this constantly on the 1920s-1940s homes around Lacy Park.
• Santa Ana wind damage to tile and flashing. San Marino sits on the alluvial fan below the San Gabriel Mountains. When wind events push debris across the foothills, clay tile edges chip and flashing loosens. We inspect after every wind season on the streets north of Huntington Drive.
• Chimney flashing failure. Older estate homes often have multiple chimneys with original counter-flashing that’s separated from the masonry. This is a classic San Marino leak source, and it’s one of the first places we check on a roof that’s been patched before.
• Period roof details that modern contractors miss. Ridge caps, hip caps, and perimeter tile detailing on Spanish Colonial and Tudor Revival homes need matching profiles. A generic cap replacement looks wrong, and the DRB will flag it. We source matching profiles rather than improvising.
