Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Tustin
If your roof is leaking or showing its age, the question is almost always the same: what’s this going to cost, and who can actually show up? Roof repair in Tustin typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on what failed, while a full roof replacement on a Tustin Ranch tile home usually lands between $8,000 and $20,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been putting roofs over families since 1998. Call Tom Barrett’s team at (877) 610-1318 anytime, day or night, and a live person will answer.
Tustin isn’t like the cities around it. You know that if you’ve lived here through a single Santa Ana season. That inland pass funnels wind through here the way it doesn’t in Irvine or Santa Ana, and your roof takes the hit. Spanish tile lifting at the hips. Underlayment worn through years earlier than it should be. Flashing that let go around a chimney during one bad gust. We plan for that when we bid a roof in Tustin because we’ve seen what this specific climate does over a decade.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tustin’s Preferred Roofing Company
A lot of roofing outfits in Orange County run lean: they quote you over the phone, send a crew you’ll never see again, and hand you a bill that doesn’t match anything you agreed to. Tom Barrett built Barrett & Sons the opposite way. He founded the company in 1998, put his name on the license, and his sons run the crews. You’ll see the same faces on day one that you see when the inspection gets signed.
Every scope item goes on paper before work starts. Every allowance goes on paper. If the price changes for any reason, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s not a policy we advertise because it sounds good; it’s the only way Tom will run a job. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Tustin homeowners who’ve been burned by national outfits tend to appreciate that when they call us.
We pull permits and stand for inspections on every eligible job in Tustin. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why Tom likes him there. It means the underlayment got nailed to code, the flashings got set right, and the roof will actually shed water the way it’s supposed to. Look up our license number if you want. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license on every contract. Ask anyone on your street. Or just call (877) 610-1318 and ask Tom yourself.
Our Roofing Services in Tustin
Roof Repair
Most repair calls in Tustin come down to one of three things: a Santa Ana gust lifted a section of tile, a valley has been quietly leaking into the sheathing, or the flashing around a vent or skylight has separated after years of thermal movement. Our Roofing team starts with the leak, not the roof. We trace where water is actually entering before we quote a fix. Roof repair in Tustin runs $400-$1,800, and we’ll tell you if a repair is all you need rather than selling you a replacement you don’t.

Roof Replacement & Installation
Homes in the 92782 ZIP are aging in a specific way. The original Mediterranean tile roofs from the 1980s and 1990s are hitting the end of their service life, and the underlayment under them was often a felt product that doesn’t hold up under decades of Tustin’s heat and wind. A full re-roof here typically runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on size, pitch, and what’s underneath once we open it up. We install GAF shingle systems on homes that want asphalt, and we’re just as comfortable setting new concrete tile on a Tustin Ranch two-story.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal has caught on in Tustin for a reason beyond looks. It handles the wind from the pass better than almost anything else, and it sheds the kind of fine dust and debris that blows through during red-flag days without trapping it. A standing seam metal roof on a typical Tustin home runs $15,000-$40,000. It’s a bigger check up front, but for a house you’re staying in, the math works out over 40-plus years. We’ll walk you through that honestly, not with a sales pitch.

Tile Roofing
Tile is the default roof on most of Tustin Ranch, and for good reason: it’s heavy, it’s durable, and it suits the architecture. But Tustin’s wind changes how tile needs to be set. We see hip and ridge tiles that were originally mortared down get loose after years of gusts, and once one shifts, water finds a path under the rest. Tile roof repair in Tustin runs $600-$2,500. Barrel tile replacement jobs get matched to what’s already on the house, not just close enough.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tustin
We don’t put mystery materials on a roof in Tustin. When we install asphalt shingles, we use GAF, because you can look them up, check the warranty, and hold them to it. When we’re matching tile or setting underlayment, we stick with products we’d put on our own homes. That matters here because Tustin’s heat and wind punish cheap material fast. Sourcing for Tustin jobs happens with local suppliers, so if we need more tile or one more bundle of shingles mid-job, we’re not waiting on a truck from Riverside. The work keeps moving.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Tustin Homes
- Wind-lifted tile and shingles from the Santa Ana pass. Tustin sits in a natural wind funnel, and gusts here regularly lift corners and hips that would stay put in Irvine. Once a tile shifts, the underlayment underneath starts eroding fast.
- Aging underlayment on 1980s-1990s Mediterranean homes. The Tustin Ranch housing stock is now old enough that original felt underlayment is failing from below while the tile above still looks fine. That’s a hidden leak waiting for the next rain.
- Flashing failures at chimney and wall intersections. Decades of Tustin’s dry heat and sudden wind events cause metal flashing to expand, contract, and eventually separate at caulk joints. These leaks are small at first and ugly by year two.
- Clogged or undersized gutters on older tract homes. The 92780 corridor has plenty of 1940s-1960s homes with gutters that were never sized for the volume of water a Tustin storm can drop. We’re also the team that handles Windows & Doors in Tustin for these same aging houses, because roof leaks rarely travel alone.
