CertainTeed Construction in Garland, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
CertainTeed construction service in Garland means roofing and siding work done by a local crew that understands both the product and the prairie clay it sits on. We’re an independent Garland contractor, not a CertainTeed representative, and we’ve been repairing, replacing, and inspecting CertainTeed shingles, soffit, and siding across 75040 through 75046 since 1998. The difference here is simple: we know how CertainTeed materials fail in Garland specifically, because we’ve pulled them off hundreds of mid-century ranch roofs from Creekside Estates to the streets off Naaman School Road. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from someone who answers the phone himself.
Why Garland Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Nobody else in Garland has spent 27 years looking at how CertainTeed Landmark shingles weather on west-facing brick-veneer ranches, or how Cedar Impressions siding pulls away from wall framing when the slab beneath it heaves. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and raised his sons in it, and the crew that shows up at your door carries that name. We’re the owner-operated alternative to outfits that quote one price on the phone and hand you another at the door. Every scope change comes as a written change order before anyone picks up a hammer, and every permit gets pulled. We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number. Look them up.
Our CertainTeed sales & service work is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no runaround.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Garland
- Granule loss on original 3-tab CertainTeed shingles. Garland’s unshaded west-facing roofs in the 75040-75042 corridor bake under North Texas UV for decades. We regularly see fiberglass mat exposure on 60-year-old ranches that still carry their original shingles. Once the mat shows, patching is throwing money away.
- Heat- and hail-cracked vinyl siding near Lake Ray Hubbard. Homes in 75043 and 75049 catch more storm exposure than the western ZIPs. Monogram vinyl siding panels from the 1980s and 1990s get brittle, then hail finishes the job. We match the profile where possible and replace full elevations when the color’s been discontinued.
- Warped and nail-popped Cedar Impressions shakes. Garland’s Vertisol clay shrinks in summer and swells in fall. That movement transfers up through the framing and pops siding nails. Cedar Impressions pulls away from the wall in ways that caulk won’t fix.
- Clogged or crushed soffit vents from unpermitted additions. The 75040-75042 corridor is full of ranches with a garage conversion or extra room that was never permitted. Ventilation gets blocked, moisture builds, and CertainTeed soffit and fascia rot from the inside. We fix the venting before we replace the trim.
- Failed flashing at chimneys and roof penetrations after slab heave. When the slab moves, the chimney doesn’t always move with it. We find separated flashing on Garland ranch homes constantly, and it’s almost always a water damage source hiding behind the cosmetic issue.
CertainTeed Service in Garland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Garland’s 75040-75042 corridor has one of the densest concentrations of 1950s-1970s brick-veneer ranches in Dallas County, and a lot of them are still wearing their original CertainTeed 3-tab shingles. That matters because those narrow-eave ranch designs were built with marginal attic ventilation, and five or six decades of North Texas heat have cooked the decking below the shingles. When we tear off a roof in this part of Garland, we almost always find dry rot in the sheathing. The shingles failed because the attic couldn’t breathe. If a contractor slaps architectural laminates over that deck without replacing the damaged sheets, the new roof is a temporary fix. We inspect the deck, replace what’s compromised, and upgrade the ridge venting so the next CertainTeed roof actually lasts. That’s the difference between replacing materials and fixing the house.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Garland
We install and repair the CertainTeed lines most common on Garland homes: Landmark Series asphalt shingles, Northgate Siding, Cedar Impressions shakes, and Monogram vinyl siding. When matching an existing color or profile, we use genuine CertainTeed replacement materials. For underlayment, flashing, and roof accessories where Garland’s wind and impact codes exceed the original spec, we install high-quality aftermarket components that meet current standards. We stock common Landmark colors and siding profiles locally, which means faster turnaround on storm repairs across Garland service area ZIP codes without waiting on distributor shipments.
For roofs past 60% of their service life, we recommend full replacement rather than another patch. Garland’s hailstorms and clay-induced movement make partial repairs on old decking a poor investment.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Garland
The Blackland Prairie Vertisol clay under Garland expands and contracts with seasonal moisture, and that movement transfers through the slab into the wall framing. Siding nails pop, flashing separates at chimneys, and roof lines shift enough to crack rigid materials. That’s why we use flexible flashing details and inspect decking and sheathing thoroughly before any CertainTeed installation. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll assess how your specific slab is behaving.
If the shingles are still available in your exact color and profile, we use genuine CertainTeed materials and the repair blends in. If the color’s been discontinued or the shingles are severely faded, a patch will show. In that case we’ll tell you honestly whether a full replacement makes more sense than spending money on a visible mismatch.
Garland currently requires a minimum of one layer of synthetic or asphalt-saturated underlayment meeting ASTM standards, with additional ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations. We exceed the minimum where Garland’s storm history demands it. We pull the permit and the inspector signs off before we call the job done.
Sometimes yes, but the unpermitted framing has to be corrected first. We’ve worked on Garland ranches where a 1980s garage conversion had undersized studs or improper electrical runs behind the siding, similar to issues we address during our Kitchen Remodeling in Garland. We can’t cover that until it meets current code. Once the structure is brought up to standard, CertainTeed siding installs cleanly and gives the addition a finished look that matches the rest of the house.
After a hail event, your insurance adjuster will assess the damage and you’ll get a scope and a check. We can meet the adjuster on-site, point out what we see, and help you understand whether the claim covers what’s actually wrong with the roof. Then we do the work to the claim’s scope or better. Call (877) 610-1318 for a storm damage inspection.
