Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Ventura’s Preferred Roofing Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett runs the company and his sons run the crews. That matters in Ventura, where homeowners exploring Ventura Home Additions & ADU work or re-roofs have already been through the wringer with a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and showed up with another. We don’t work that way.
Every roof we put on in Ventura comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written into the contract, not hidden in a footnote. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. One call and it’s handled.
We’ve worked on re-roofs in the hillside neighborhoods above downtown where Chapter 7A fire-hardening requirements change the entire material spec. We’ve worked on Victorian-era homes in the older core where the original framing needs careful handling. We answer our own phone. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything.
Our Roofing Services in Ventura
Roof Repair in Ventura
Most roof repairs in Ventura run $400-$1,800. The marine layer here keeps moisture against roofing fasteners and flashing longer than inland areas, so we see more corrosion-driven leaks in Ventura than we do five miles inland. We inspect the whole roof surface, not just the spot you flagged, because a failed seam near the ridge will often be the first sign of a bigger problem. Repairs are priced in writing before we start, and a $40 discount applies to any repair over $200.
Roof Replacement & Installation in Ventura
A full roof replacement in Ventura runs $8,000-$20,000. The hillside lots above downtown and along Foothill Road often trigger California Chapter 7A requirements: Class A roofing material, ember-resistant vents, and specific underlayment sequencing. We pull permits on every eligible job and the inspector signs off before we close the roof up. If your home is in the coastal zone, that’s a separate layer of review, and we handle that too.
Metal Roofing in Ventura
Standing seam metal roofing in Ventura typically runs $15,000-$40,000. It’s a good fit for the hillside zones where ember resistance matters most. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners and flashing because the coastal humidity accelerates corrosion on exposed steel. In the post-Thomas Fire rebuild areas, we’ve seen metal roofs hold up noticeably better during Santa Ana wind events than the older composition shingle roofs they replaced.
Tile Roofing in Ventura
Ventura’s midtown and older neighborhoods still have a lot of barrel tile roofs, and tile roof repair here runs $600-$2,500. The original tile often outlasts the underlayment beneath it. We see a lot of leaks in Ventura that trace back to failed underlayment under tile that looks perfectly fine from the street. We remove the tile, replace the underlayment, and reset the tile. No shortcuts.
We also handle standing seam metal roofing, barrel tile roofing, roof leak repair, gutters, and emergency storm response for Ventura homeowners. And if you’re already planning roof work and want to replace aging windows at the same time, we handle Windows & Doors in Ventura as well.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ventura
We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and we stock the common parts and accessories those systems require so Ventura customers aren’t waiting on a regional warehouse. If you’ve got an existing roof and want a second opinion on a written estimate from another company, that’s free. We’ll look at the scope, the materials specified, and the price, and tell you honestly whether it holds up. Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes it’s not. Either way, you’ll know what you’re signing.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Ventura Homes
- Corrosion from the marine layer. In the 93001 and 93003 ZIP codes especially, the ambient humidity from the persistent overcast keeps steel fasteners, flashing, and pipe boots damp for longer stretches than inland homes. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware on coastal-facing elevations to slow the decay.
- Ember intrusion on hillside homes. The hillside neighborhoods above downtown sit in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Older roofs with box vents or open eaves let embers into the attic during Santa Ana wind events. We replace those with ember-resistant vents and close the assembly to meet Chapter 7A.
- Failed underlayment under old tile. The pre-WWII and mid-century homes in Ventura’s core neighborhoods often still have original tile over underlayment that has reached the end of its life. The tile looks fine. The leak is underneath it. That’s one of the most common calls we get.
- Improper re-roofs from out-of-area crews. After the Thomas Fire, a lot of rebuild work was done by crews coming in from outside the county. We’ve been called to fix installations where the ember-vent sequencing was wrong or the flashing wasn’t spec’d for coastal humidity. A second set of eyes from someone who actually works in Ventura catches those before they become a ceiling stain.

Yes. We work across 93001, 93003, and 93004, plus the hillside areas above downtown and the coastal neighborhoods along Pacific Coast Highway. That includes the pre-WWII core, the 1950s-70s east-side tracts, and the post-fire rebuild parcels. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm your address.
It can, and the reason is local. Homes in Ventura’s fire hazard zones often require Chapter 7A-compliant materials like Class A roofing and ember-resistant vents, which add cost compared to a standard re-roof in Oxnard or Camarillo. Coastal homes can also trigger Coastal Commission review. We’ll itemize those costs in writing before you sign anything.
Every completed roof is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on the contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right. One call to (877) 610-1318 is all it takes. Material warranties from GAF and CertainTeed apply per manufacturer terms, and we’ll walk you through what’s covered.
Yes. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we close anything up. In the hillside fire zones, Ventura also requires a fire-hardening inspection tied to Chapter 7A compliance before framing is closed. We sequence the work to pass that inspection the first time. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way.
