Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tequesta’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and he still answers the phone. That matters in a village like Tequesta where the contractor you hire will be at the hardware store, at the coffee shop, at the little league field. We’re the Roofing contractor that pulls every permit, gets every inspection signed, and writes any price change down on paper before a single nail moves. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. It’s that simple, and it’s written into every contract as the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
We’ve re-roofed 1960s CBS ranchers near the Loxahatchee River and barrel tile homes in the gated communities off Tequesta Drive. The county line runs right through this village, and we’ve pulled permits on both sides of it. That means we know which inspection office to call when, and we know which wind-load standard applies to your specific parcel. Homeowners in Tequesta don’t have time to sort through that on their own. Most of our customers find us because a neighbor recommended us, and then they stay because the paperwork was clean and the roof held through the next named storm.
Our Roofing Services in Tequesta
Every roof in Tequesta deals with the same three forces: Atlantic wind, inlet salt air, and afternoon thunderstorms. How we address those depends on what’s already on your house and what you want to put back. Here’s what we do most often for Tequesta homeowners.
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Tequesta runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs, though storm-related repairs on tile can push higher. The most common calls we get are for barrel tiles that slipped during a wind event, corroded flashing letting water into a chimney chase, and flat patio deck membranes splitting under years of UV. We don’t patch over a problem and call it done. We find the actual source, write up the scope, and fix it with materials rated for coastal exposure.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Tequesta runs $8,000 to $20,000 on typical homes. That range covers tear-off, deck repair where needed, underlayment, and installation. If you’re on the Martin County side, your wind-load requirement may be different from a house across the street on the Palm Beach side. We verify that before we order materials, not after inspection. And because this village sits at the mouth of Jupiter Inlet, any replacement should include stainless fasteners and a secondary water barrier, not builder-grade stuff spec’d for inland South Florida.
Metal Roofing
A standing seam metal roof in Tequesta lands between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on the home’s footprint, profile, and how much engineering the deck needs. Metal holds up well in high-wind corridors, and the newer profiles can go through HOA architectural review if you submit before ordering. If your community has rules against visible metal profiles, we’ll tell you that at the estimate, not after you’ve spent money. The salt air still demands the right alloy and coated fasteners; we spec those from the start.
Tile Roofing
Tequesta has a lot of barrel tile, especially on the older CBS homes and the custom rebuilds along the water. Tile roof repair here runs $600 to $2,500 depending on the damage and whether we can match your existing tile profile. The failure we see most often? Contractors reusing the original steel fasteners when they reset tiles. In this salt air, those original fasteners are usually rusted thin. We specify stainless. It costs a little more up front and saves a re-roof in fifteen years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
We install GAF and CertainTeed roof systems on homes in Tequesta because those are two of the few manufacturers whose coastal wind warranties actually hold up to the conditions here. The same logic applies to the driveway and patio work we do for Tequesta homeowners, where we often use Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers because they stand up to the sandy, salt-heavy soil of the inlet corridor. When we order materials for a Tequesta job, we specify for this environment, not for a generic Florida house. You’re welcome to look up the brands yourself before you sign. We’d rather you do.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Corroded fasteners and flashing on 1960s and 1970s barrel tile roofs. The salt air off Jupiter Inlet eats the original steel hardware. By the time a tile slips, the fastener underneath is often gone. We replace with stainless and add a secondary water barrier on any older deck we open up.
- HOA denials for non-impact-rated materials. Tequesta’s master-planned communities run their own architectural review boards. We’ve seen projects stall after tear-off because a homeowner ordered a profile the board never approved. Get the material spec in writing before you schedule work, and submit it early.
- Second-story additions cracking original roof structure. The 1960s and 1970s CBS ranches around the village core weren’t engineered for a second story. When we add onto those homes, we check the truss and wall loading, and if the footings are undersized for the load, we say so before any walls go up.
- Water intrusion around roof-to-wall intersections on older CBS homes. The concrete block itself rarely leaks; the intersection where roof meets wall is usually the problem, especially after decades of expansion and contraction from the heat and salt. We re-flash those intersections with materials rated for the marine environment.

FAQs - Roofing in Tequesta
Your roof permit is governed by Palm Beach County if your parcel sits west of the county line, or Martin County if it sits east, and each county’s wind-load, inspection, and sign-off rules are different. We verify which jurisdiction your home falls under before we pull the permit, so the roof we design meets the correct standard from the start. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll pull the parcel and tell you which side you’re on.
In most cases, no, a straightforward reroof on an existing structure near the Loxahatchee River does not require Army Corps approval. The Section 404/10 coordination comes into play if you’re changing the footprint, elevating the structure, or doing anything that disturbs the river buffer. We’ve coordinated with the Corps on Tequesta projects before, and we’ll tell you at the estimate whether your scope triggers it.
Most Tequesta HOAs accept flat concrete tile because it matches the existing roofscape of the original build. A visible standing seam metal profile gets more scrutiny and may be denied outright depending on your community’s covenant. We can provide the material spec sheet your review board needs, and we recommend submitting before you sign a contract.
On a home within a mile or two of Jupiter Inlet, expect original steel roof fasteners and flashing to show serious corrosion within fifteen to twenty years, sometimes sooner on water-facing elevations. There’s no fixed replacement schedule; it depends on the material grade and the home’s exposure. If you’re finding rust-colored streaking under your tiles or at the wall intersections, call us and we’ll inspect before it becomes a leak.
Generally no, the original 1960s roof deck and trusses on a Tequesta CBS ranch were not engineered for a second-story load, and keeping them will likely fail plan review. In many cases the footings are also undersized for the added weight, especially on lots with high seasonal water tables. We’ll open the structure, tell you what can stay and what has to go, and write it all down in the scope before you spend a dollar on lumber.
