Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Waxahachie
The Ellis County Courthouse casts a long shadow over Waxahachie, and in more ways than one, so does the weather. Roof replacement in Waxahachie typically runs $8,000 to $20,000, while a targeted repair lands between $400 and $1,800. If you live in the historic district off Main Street or in a newer subdivision out toward 75167, you need a roofer who understands both the gingerbread Victorians and the post-tension slab tract homes that have sprung up around them. That’s us. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom or one of his sons on the line, not a call center in another state.
Why Waxahachie Homeowners Call Barrett & Sons Construction First
We’ve been fixing roofs in North Texas since 1998, and Waxahachie has always been part of our regular rounds. The homes here aren’t like the homes in Dallas. A 1910 foursquare on West Main has roof framing that was hand-cut and has been settling into Blackland Prairie clay for over a century. A 2018 build off Butcher Road sits on a post-tension slab that’s already cycling through the shrink-heave rhythm of the gumbo soil beneath it. Both need a roofer who knows the difference, and our crew does.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we pull permits on every eligible job and make sure inspections get signed. Around here, half the calls we get start with “the last contractor told me permits were optional.” They’re not, and we won’t pretend otherwise.
When you call us about a roof issue in Waxahachie, we answer the phone. A live person, any hour of the day. No voicemail maze, no out-of-state dispatcher. And when you ask for a price, it comes in writing with allowances and scope laid out line by line. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Our Roofing Services in Waxahachie
Roof Repair
Most roof repair in Waxahachie runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what’s actually wrong. We see a lot of wind-lifted shingles after spring storm fronts roll through, plus the usual suspect: flashing failures around chimneys and vents on those older homes near Getzendaner Park. A small leak left alone for a season becomes a decking replacement and sometimes a ceiling repair. We’d rather catch it early, and our free estimate makes that easy.

Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Waxahachie typically falls between $8,000 and $20,000. Square footage, pitch, tear-off layers, and whether the decking has rot all move that number. On newer homes in the 75167 and 75168 corridors, we’re often replacing builder-grade shingles that failed before their time. On the Victorian and Edwardian houses downtown, we’re matching profiles and colors that the Ellis County historic review board will approve without a fight. Our Roofing team handles both ends of that spectrum.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roof installation in Waxahachie runs $15,000 to $40,000. It’s a bigger upfront number, but with the hail and wind this town gets, a lot of homeowners see it as the last roof they’ll ever buy. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, and we’re particular about flashing and panel alignment on the steeper pitches you find on the older Craftsman homes near the courthouse square.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roof repair in Waxahachie runs $600 to $2,500. Most of the tile roofs we service are on Spanish-influenced and Mediterranean-style homes scattered through the outer ZIPs, and the tile itself usually outlasts everything else. What fails is the underlayment and the flashing. We match existing tile profile and color, which matters more than you’d think when the neighbor’s roof is visible from your front porch.

Trusted Brands We Service in Waxahachie
We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems because they’re brands you can look up and hold us accountable to. We don’t stock mystery materials off a van. For roof-adjacent work on Waxahachie homes, we also work with Simonton and PGT products when skylights or roof-adjacent windows come into the picture. If you need Windows & Doors in Waxahachie addressed while we’re up there, we’ll tell you straight what we see.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Waxahachie Homes
- Wind-lifted shingles after spring fronts. Waxahachie sits in a tornado-prone corridor, and the spring storm season sends gusts that peel shingles off roofs across 75165. Even a few lifted tabs let water underneath, and the damage compounds fast.
- Flashing failures on older chimneys. The Victorian and Edwardian homes around the courthouse square often have unreinforced brick chimneys with original flashing that’s been patched too many times. We reflash them properly, and we don’t touch the brick unless it’s structurally necessary.
- Clay-soil movement cracking roof lines. The Blackland Prairie clay under Waxahachie shrinks in summer drought and heaves after heavy rain. That movement telegraphs up through walls and can open hairline cracks along ridge lines and valleys on post-tension slab homes in the newer subdivisions.
- Hail bruising on shingle roofs. Hail storms are a regular feature of Ellis County life. Bruised shingles don’t always leak immediately, but the granule loss shortens the roof’s life by years. We do free storm-damage assessments for Waxahachie homeowners, and we’ll write up what we find in plain English.
