AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Aldine
Roof repair in Aldine typically runs $400-$1,800, and a full roof replacement on one of the area’s older wood-frame homes usually lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on size and materials. We’ve worked enough roofs along Airline Drive and the neighborhoods off Aldine Mail Route to know what 50 years of Houston humidity does to decking, flashing, and shingles. Tom Barrett and his sons live close enough to Aldine that when a storm rolls through and a roof starts leaking into a hallway, you’re not waiting on a franchise to send someone from two counties away. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get eyes on it fast.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Aldine’s Preferred Roofing Company
Aldine is unincorporated Harris County. That means no city building department, no city zoning board, and no city inspector stepping in to make sure a roof was done right. Harris County permitting and inspection still apply, but the truth is plenty of contractors who work Aldine count on homeowners not knowing the difference. We don’t play that game. Every roof we put on in Aldine gets its permit pulled and its inspection scheduled, because the inspector works for you, not for me, and I want him on the roof.
Our Roofing team has been running crews through Aldine long enough to know what the housing stock throws at you. The bulk of homes here are single-story, wood-frame builds from the 1960s through early 1980s, most sitting on slab foundations over Houston Black clay that shifts with every wet-dry cycle. That shifting puts stress on fascia, soffits, and roof-to-wall connections in ways newer construction doesn’t see as often. When we give you a quote, we’re looking at the whole house, not just the shingles.

Our Roofing Services in Aldine
Roof Repair
Leaks around pipe boots, missing shingles after a spring storm, water staining on ceilings near exterior walls. These are the calls we get most from Aldine homeowners. On older wood-frame houses, the decking around chimneys and vents is often the first place moisture gets in. We fix the immediate problem, then check the surrounding area so you’re not calling us back in six weeks for what we should have caught the first time. Repairs in Aldine typically run $400-$1,800.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a roof has been patched enough times that you’re chasing leaks instead of preventing them, replacement makes more sense and usually costs less over the next ten years. In Aldine, full replacements typically land between $8,000 and $20,000. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, and we pull the permit and schedule the Harris County inspection before we’re done. No exceptions.
Metal Roofing
Metal makes a lot of sense in Aldine’s climate. It sheds water fast in heavy downpours, it doesn’t hold moisture the way asphalt can, and it stands up to the kind of wind we get in late spring and early fall. Standing seam systems start around $15,000 and can run to $40,000 depending on roof complexity. We’ll tell you honestly whether your framing can handle the switch or whether you’re better served by a quality asphalt system.
Tile Roofing
You see barrel tile on some of Aldine’s nicer 1970s builds and on newer custom work. Tile looks great and lasts, but it’s heavy, and the underlayment underneath matters more than the tile itself. Tile roof repair in Aldine runs $600-$2,500 for most calls. If you’ve got cracked tiles or a failing underlayment, we’ll walk the roof with you and show you what’s going on before we quote anything. Written scope, written price, written change orders if anything shifts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aldine
We’re not tied to one manufacturer, which means we can match what’s already on your roof or move you to something better when it’s warranted. Most of what we install in Aldine is GAF and CertainTeed, and we keep common PGT and Simonton components stocked for jobs where roof and window work overlap. That overlap happens often here, and when it does, our Windows & Doors in Aldine crew can handle the window side of the job without you managing two contractors and two schedules. The point is that when a roof replacement uncovers rotted fascia or damaged window flashing, we address it in the same visit rather than leaving it for the next rain.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Aldine Homes
- Moisture-related decking rot under shingles. Aldine stays humid most of the year, and roofs on 50-to-60-year-old homes often have decking that’s been holding moisture for decades. By the time shingles start buckling, the wood underneath usually needs attention too.
- Flashing failures at chimneys, vents, and valleys. Older Aldine homes were built before modern flashing standards, and the metal at these transitions tends to separate or corrode first. It’s the most common leak source we repair on 77060 homes.
- Storm damage from wind and flying debris. Aldine sits in the path of the same Gulf systems that hammer north Houston. Missing shingles, lifted ridge caps, and dented vent covers are routine calls in storm season. We handle insurance paperwork and meet adjusters on site.
- Foundation movement pulling roof lines out of plane. The clay soil under Aldine expands and contracts dramatically. When a slab shifts, the roof framing shifts with it, opening gaps at eaves and ridges. We’ve addressed this enough times to spot the signs without guessing.
Pricing for Roofing in Aldine, TX
Here’s what we tell Aldine homeowners to budget for, straight up:
- Roof repair: $400-$1,800
- Roof replacement (asphalt shingle): $8,000-$20,000
- Metal roof installation: $15,000-$40,000
- Tile roof repair: $600-$2,500
What moves the number on a replacement is roof size, pitch, number of stories, and how much decking needs to be replaced once we lift the old shingles. Older Aldine homes often need more decking work than homeowners expect, and that’s exactly why we insist on a written change order before any extra scope moves forward. You’ll know the price before the work happens, not after. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We also offer a free second opinion on any written roof estimate from another contractor, and a $40 credit on any repair over $200.

FAQs - Roofing in Aldine
We’re usually at an Aldine home within 24 to 48 hours for a standard roofing issue. If the leak is active and water is coming into the house, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, day or night. We’ll tarp it and get a permanent fix scheduled while the tarp is still doing its job. The sooner we see it, the less it costs to repair, because water damage multiplies fast.
Yes. We work throughout 77060 and the surrounding Aldine area off Airline Drive, along Aldine Mail Route, and through neighborhoods east of I-45. If you’re in unincorporated Harris County within Aldine’s boundaries, we cover it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm your street.
Yes. When a storm takes shingles off or a limb goes through the roof deck, call immediately. We respond to Aldine storm damage calls as fast as any local crew, and we meet insurance adjusters on site so the claim reflects what actually needs to happen. Tarp service is available right away, and the repair follows once your insurance is squared away. Get us out there before the water does more damage; it only gets more expensive the longer it sits.
Not meaningfully. Our pricing in Aldine matches what we quote in Humble, Jersey Village, Houston, and Bellaire for the same scope. The difference here is that Aldine’s older housing stock sometimes requires more decking replacement than you’d see in newer subdivisions, which can push a total roof replacement higher. That’s why we walk the roof and attic before we quote. Free estimates, written scope, no surprises at the end. Call (877) 610-1318.
Every roof we install in Aldine carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. Manufacturer warranties on GAF and CertainTeed materials apply on top of that. You’ll get both in writing before work starts. If a roofer won’t put a warranty on paper, find another roofer.
