Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Taylor’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and still answers his own phone. When you call about a roof in Taylor, you’re not getting a national outfit’s call center. You’re getting someone who has crawled through attics off Carlos G. Parker Boulevard and knows what Blackland Prairie clay does to a roof system over twenty or thirty years. We’ll tell you what we find, show you photos if you want them, and never ask you to sign for work you don’t understand.

Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name, and Tom’s sons run the crews. If something isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise says one call brings Tom back to make it right. That’s on every contract, in writing, not buried in fine print. People in Taylor have been burned by contractors who quote one price on the phone and show up with another. We don’t work that way. Every price change arrives as a written change order before any work happens.

Permits get pulled on every eligible roof job, and inspections get signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him. We’ve replaced roofs all over Taylor, from the older pier-and-beam homes near downtown to the early-2000s ranches off FM 1660. You’ll see our trucks at the hardware store on Main Street, and Tom lives twenty minutes away. If something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.

Our Roofing Services in Taylor

Our Roofing team handles everything from small leak repairs to full tear-offs and standing seam metal installations. Here’s what we do most often for Taylor homeowners.

Roof Repair

Most roof repairs in Taylor start with a leak that shows up as a water stain on a ceiling or water tracking down a fascia board. On pier-and-beam homes, the real cause is often the clay shifting the perimeter walls until the roof-to-wall connection cracks, letting water in without any visible shingle damage. We trace the leak to its source before we quote the repair, because patching the obvious spot without fixing what caused it just means you’ll call us again next spring. Typical repairs run $400 to $1,800 depending on what we find once we’re up there.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in Taylor runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the roof’s square footage, pitch, how many layers we’re tearing off, and what’s underneath. Older homes in Taylor frequently need decking replacement once the old shingles come off, and that’s exactly the kind of thing we price into the contract as a written allowance before work starts. You’ll know the allowance number up front. If we use less, you pay less. If we need more, you approve the change order before we buy a single sheet of plywood.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofs make a lot of sense on Taylor homes, especially given how our hot, humid springs and 100-degree summers cook conventional shingles. A standing seam metal roof reflects more heat and handles the thermal cycling better than composition shingles, but it’s a bigger investment at $15,000 to $40,000 for a typical Taylor home. We install both screw-down and standing seam systems, and Tom will walk you through the difference honestly, including the ventilation upgrades older attics usually need to make a metal roof perform the way it should.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs on Taylor’s older brick homes, particularly in the historic districts, develop a specific failure pattern around chimneys and dormers. The mortar that originally held the flashing in place cracks as the black clay moves beneath the foundation, and decades of that movement eventually lets water through without breaking a single tile. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500 in Taylor, and we can usually spot-repair the affected section rather than replace the whole roof, as long as the tiles themselves are still sound.

Trusted Brands We Service in Taylor

We install GAF composition shingles on most Taylor replacements because they hold up well in Central Texas heat and the warranty is straightforward to claim if something ever goes wrong. For metal work, we use GAF’s metal roofing lines as well, and we can source tiles and flashing components that match what’s already on your home. Because we’re running crews to Taylor every week, we can keep commonly needed parts on hand rather than making you wait on a distributor’s shipping schedule. If a supplier is backordered, we’ll tell you on the front end and put that timeline in writing rather than promising a date we can’t hit.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Taylor Homes

• Clay movement cracking roof-to-wall connections. Taylor sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells after rain and cracks during summer drought. On pier-and-beam homes, the perimeter walls shift enough to crack the rigid connection where the roof meets the wall. Water gets in, tracks down the fascia, and by the time you see the stain, the leak has been active for weeks.
• Builder-grade shingles failing early from poor attic ventilation. Early-2000s ranch homes across Taylor got entry-level composition shingles and minimal attic ventilation. The result is granule loss and curling tabs by year 15 or sooner. When we replace these roofs, proper ridge and soffit venting goes into the scope so the new shingles actually last their rated life.
• Mortared-in flashing failing on 1920s brick homes. Older brick homes in Taylor, especially those near Heritage Square, often have chimney and dormer flashing that was originally set in mortar instead of metal. Decades of clay movement crack the mortar, and water enters the roof system without any visible shingle damage. We see this constantly on homes built before 1950.
• Shifting roof framing loosening decking fasteners. Taylor’s Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts so aggressively that roof framing over unconditioned attics can shift seasonally, loosening decking fasteners and causing nails to back out. You’ll hear creaking in the attic on windy days, and the decking eventually pulls loose from the rafters. This failure pattern is measurably more common here than in the Hill Country’s rocky soils 30 miles west.
