We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked roofs all across this ZIP code long enough to know which streets still carry original 1930s cedar underlayment and which ones got a teardown-rebuild with standing seam metal last year. If you live anywhere in 75225 and suspect a leak, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will answer, or one of his sons will. No call center, no out-of-state dispatch.

University Park isn’t just another Dallas neighborhood. It’s a fully independent municipality with its own building department, its own permit office, and its own inspectors. That matters when you’re hiring a roofer, because the permit process here doesn’t follow Dallas city rules. You’re in University Park’s jurisdiction, and the contractor you hire has to know the difference.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is University Park’s Preferred Roofing Company

This is an owner-operated company, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to look up. That’s intentional. Too many homeowners in University Park have told us about national outfits that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different invoice at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment comes to you as a written change order before a single nail moves. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises on five-figure roof work.

Crews serving University Park are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on the truck. Tom lives in South Florida, and the Miami office coordinates scheduling, but the crews on your roof are local, they know this area, and they answer to Tom directly. We’ve earned a strong local reputation across 75225 for showing up when we say we will and standing behind the finished job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s written on every contract.

Our Roofing Services in University Park

Roof Repair

Roof repair is the most common call we get from University Park homeowners, and it’s usually a leak around a chimney flashing or a cracked tile near a valley. On the original 1930s and 1950s homes that still stand along streets like Lovers Lane and University Boulevard, repairs often mean matching aged materials carefully. We’ll give you a line-item quote before work starts, and a typical repair on a University Park roof runs $400 to $1,800.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full Roofing replacement in University Park usually runs $8,000 to $20,000, driven mostly by square footage, the condition of the decking underneath, and whether we’re matching the architectural style of the home. When we tear off a roof on one of the older Tudor-style houses, we frequently find decking that’s been patched over the decades and needs real attention before new underlayment goes down. We don’t cover that up; we show you, price it in writing, and get your sign-off before proceeding.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing keeps gaining ground in University Park, especially on the newer custom homes that went up after teardown on those narrow 7,000 to 9,000-square-foot lots. Standing seam metal runs $15,000 to $40,000 on most University Park homes, and it holds up well against the North Texas hail seasons and the intense summer sun. The modern architectural profiles also fit the clean lines of the luxury builds that now sit next to restored brick cottages on the same block.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing shows up across University Park, from barrel tile on Mediterranean-style builds to flat concrete tile on mid-century originals. Tile roof repair here typically runs $600 to $2,500, depending on how many tiles need replacement and whether the underlayment has started to fail. One thing we see often on University Park tile roofs: hairline cracks across the crown of the tile after a freeze-thaw cycle, which lets water seep in slow and cause damage you don’t notice until the ceiling stains. We inspect for all of that.

Trusted Brands We Service in University Park

When you need impact-rated windows alongside a new roof or a set of upgraded doors after a full replacement, we also handle Windows & Doors in University Park. We’re set up to work with premium brands like PGT, CGI, and Simonton, products you can look up and verify, not mystery materials off a van. Since University Park sits directly in the path of North Texas hail and wind events, many homeowners here pair a new roof with impact-rated windows and doors, and we coordinate that work so the roof and fenestration are done in the right sequence. If you’re also thinking about securing the yard, we do Fence Installation in University Park with the same written-scope, permits-pulled standard.

Common Roofing Problems We See in University Park Homes

• Freeze-thaw damage on tile and flashing: North Texas winters bring temperature swings that expand and contract metal flashing and crack concrete tile crowns. We see this most on the older 1930s to 1950s homes lining the original streets of University Park, where flashing has been in place for decades.
• Leaks around chimneys and dormers: The brick cottages and Tudor-style homes in 75225 often have chimneys and dormers that are structurally sound but flashing-dry. Water gets in at the corners and travels along roof trusses before showing up as a ceiling stain in a bedroom.
• Decking rot hidden under original cedar shakes: When a roof hasn’t been fully replaced since the Eisenhower era, the decking underneath is often soft in spots, especially near eaves and valleys. We uncover it, show it to you, and quote the repair in writing before covering anything back up.
• Post-storm granule loss and hail bruising: University Park sits on the Blackland Prairie, and storms here can move through with brutal quickness. Hail bruises shingles and knocks granules loose, shortening the roof’s life. After any significant storm, an inspection catches bruising before it turns into a bigger problem.

FAQs - Roofing in University Park

How fast can you get to a roofing emergency in University Park?

For genuine emergencies like storm damage or an active leak during a North Texas downpour, we respond to University Park as quickly as any local crew can, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day at (877) 610-1318. For planned repair or replacement work, we schedule a walkthrough and written estimate at a time that works for you. Call us and Tom or one of his sons will tell you honestly when we can be there.

Do you cover all University Park neighborhoods?

Yes. We work everywhere in 75225, from the streets around Southern Methodist University to the tree-lined blocks near Caruth Park and the estates off Preston Road. University Park is a small city, just a few square miles, so there’s no corner of it we don’t know. Crews are familiar with the narrow streets, the mature post oaks and cedar elms that the city’s urban forestry rules protect, and the tight lot lines that make crew staging more complicated than it looks.

Do you handle emergency storm damage in University Park?

We do. North Texas hail and wind can tear through University Park with very little warning, and after the storm passes, you need someone who can tarp the roof and stop the water before it gets worse. Call (877) 610-1318 and a real person will answer, day or night. We’ll get the roof secured, document the damage for your insurance claim, and give you a written repair or replacement quote before any work begins.

Is roofing cheaper in University Park compared to nearby cities?

Roofing costs in University Park are generally comparable to what you’d pay in Sweetwater, Fountainebleau, Tamiami, or Olympia Heights, but University Park adds some specific considerations. Because the city has its own building department and permit process, contractors have to follow University Park’s specific setback, impervious-cover, and tree-preservation ordinances, and that can affect the scope and cost of a job. We pull permits through University Park’s own process on every eligible roof job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us.

What warranty comes with roofing work in University Park?

Every roofing job we complete in University Park carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Beyond that, the shingle, metal, or tile materials themselves carry manufacturer warranties from brands like GAF and CertainTeed. For an exact quote on your University Park roof, call (877) 610-1318. Estimates are free, and so is a second opinion on any written estimate you already have.
