AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Aransas Pass
A roof replacement in Aransas Pass runs $8,000-$20,000 for most homes, while roof repairs typically fall between $400 and $1,800 depending on what’s failing. Those are the real numbers we quote at the kitchen table, not a teaser price that changes at the door. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate before a single shingle comes off.
We work throughout Aransas Pass every week - from the 78336 neighborhoods near Conn Brown Harbor up through 78335 along Wheeler Avenue and out toward the Ingleside side. That matters here because Aransas Pass isn’t like roofing inland Texas. Between the TWIA windstorm requirements, the salt coming off the ship channel, and the patchwork of pre-Harvey bungalows and post-2017 elevated rebuilds, you need a crew that’s opened enough of these roofs to know what’s underneath before the tear-off starts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Aransas Pass’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and he still answers the phone. His sons run the crews. That’s the whole structure - no franchise, no rotating subcontractors, no out-of-state call center. When you hire our Roofing team in Aransas Pass, the name on the estimate is the name on the truck and the name on the warranty.
We’ve earned a reputation around Aransas Pass for doing the paperwork right on coastal jobs. Every eligible roof gets permits pulled and TWIA inspections signed. When the inspector flags something, we want him to - he works for you, not for me. That’s why we’ve been called back for second and third jobs by homeowners here who watched a neighbor’s roofer get red-tagged halfway through a tear-off.
When you call, a live person answers 24/7. Not a voicemail box. If you need us in Aransas Pass, we come. And every price change on a job arrives as a written change order before work proceeds, so there’s no end-of-job bill you didn’t see coming.
Our Roofing Services in Aransas Pass
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Aransas Pass is a different animal than it is 200 miles inland. TWIA requires wind-load-rated framing connectors, proper nail patterns on decking, and opening protection that an inland roofer may never have dealt with. We’ve torn off plenty of roofs here and found the framing itself isn’t up to windstorm standard, which triggers a change order before we dry anything in. You’ll see it in writing first. In the neighborhoods off Moore Avenue and around the older blocks near the ship channel, those change orders usually run $2,000-$5,000 extra for re-sheathing and connectors.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Aransas Pass runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on gauge, seam style, and roof complexity. Standing seam is the best choice for a salt environment because there are no exposed fasteners to corrode. Given the onshore wind off Corpus Christi Bay and the ship channel, we spec marine-grade clips and stainless fasteners that hold up where galvanized hardware fails in a few seasons.
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Aransas Pass typically costs $400-$1,800. What we see most often here is corroded flashing at pipe boots, valley intersections, and chimney crickets - the salt eats the metal and the leak follows. A repair that’s ignored turns into decking rot, and then you’re pricing a full section replacement instead of a $600 fix. If the leak started after a storm, call us; a free second opinion on any written estimate means you don’t have to guess.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs in Aransas Pass need a roofer who understands what wind uplift does to individual tiles, especially on the elevated post-Harvey rebuilds that now dominate the 78336 area. Broken tiles are often walk-damage from whoever serviced the AC unit, and the fix is swapping individual tiles before water reaches the underlayment. Tile roof repairs here run $600-$2,500, with matching old tile stock sometimes being the harder part.

We don’t push mystery brands off the back of a van - the materials we put on your roof are ones you can look up yourself.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Aransas Pass Homes
- Corroded hurricane clips and fasteners. The salt-laden wind off the ship channel eats exposed metal fasteners, flashing, and structural clips within a few seasons. We see original hurricane clips on 1950s-1970s bungalows rusted so thin they’ll snap off in the next big blow.
- Shingle blow-offs from onshore wind. Wind coming off Corpus Christi Bay and the open channel hits roofs in Aransas Pass harder than inland homes. When a roof was installed with a standard inland nail pattern, shingles ride up and tear off at the first tropical storm watch.
- Decking that won’t pass TWIA nail inspection. Pre-Harvey homes often have 3/8-inch plywood with 8-inch nail spacing. TWIA wants 6-inch spacing on proper H-clips. When we open a roof and find the old decking can’t pass, it’s a change order - written and signed before we proceed.
- Flashing failures at post-Harvey elevation transitions. On the elevated pier-and-beam rebuilds that are so common in Aransas Pass now, the seam where the elevated upper structure meets the older load-bearing walls is a weak point. Uplift loads concentrate there and the flashing fails first.

How a Roof Job Goes in Aransas Pass - Start With the Deck
Here’s the thing about Roofing in a TWIA windstorm zone: nobody can price the job accurately from the ground. We don’t try to. When we quote a roof replacement in Aransas Pass, we walk the roof, check the deck from the attic when we can, and look at the existing connectors. Then we write allowances into the contract for what we expect to find: rotten decking, undersized framing, missing H-clips, failed flashing. If we open the roof and reality matches the allowance, the price holds. If it doesn’t, you get a written change order with the exact number before we go further. That’s the only honest way to roof a 1950s Aransas Pass bungalow.
What we found on one job near the ship channel tells the story. It was a 1950s bungalow, original 2×4 rafters, and when we opened the decking we found corroded hurricane clips and no H-clips on the sheathing at all. The original roofer had slapped shingles over plywood that would never pass a TWIA nail pattern check. We wrote the change order for new CDX plywood, stainless twist-strap connectors at every truss, and a full peel-and-stick underlayment before touching anything else. Then we called the rough-in inspection so TWIA could sign off the framing before we dried it in. That’s the difference between a roof that keeps its insurance and one that fails an inspection after the shingles are on.

FAQs - Roofing in Aransas Pass
Yes. TWIA windstorm requirements apply to virtually every permitted roof replacement in Aransas Pass, regardless of when the house was built. The inspector checks the framing, connectors, nail pattern, and opening protection - and if the deck can’t pass, the roof doesn’t get signed off and your windstorm insurance doesn’t issue. We pull the permit and call the inspection on every eligible job in Aransas Pass, and we schedule the rough-in inspection before the underlayment goes down so problems get caught while they’re still fixable. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’ve got a roof coming up and want to know what the inspector will look for on your specific house.
Salt-laden onshore wind deposits chloride on every exposed metal surface, and it never rinses off - it sits and corrodes. Over a few seasons, that means rusted hurricane clips, failed flashing at pipe boots and valleys, and fasteners that snap when wind lifts the shingle. The deck itself rots faster once the flashing fails because water gets into the sheathing and sits there. Homes in the 78336 neighborhoods near the ship channel and along the waterfront see this fastest. If you see rust streaks on your flashing or shingles lifting at the edges near the water side of the house, call (877) 610-1318 for an inspection before the deck goes soft.
Our contract already has an allowance written for decking replacement, re-sheathing, and connector upgrades - that’s standard practice for us on every Aransas Pass roof. The allowance has a unit price per sheet of plywood and per linear foot of connector, so when we open the roof and find problems, you’re not looking at a blank number. If the actual condition exceeds the allowance, we write a change order with the exact pricing before we proceed. You sign it or you don’t. We never put you in a position where the shingles are off and the price is moving. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through how the allowance works on your specific roof.
Three reasons. First, the wind zone: standing seam metal roofs in Aransas Pass get engineered for higher uplift loads, which means thicker gauge panels, stronger clips, and more fasteners per linear foot. Second, the salt: marine-grade or stainless hardware is standard here, not optional, and it costs more than galvanized. Third, the inspection: TWIA sign-off on a metal roof requires documentation the same job in San Antonio would never need. Metal roof installation in Aransas Pass runs $15,000-$40,000. It’s the last roof you’ll put on the house, and in this environment that’s the right call. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote on your roof’s specific footprint.
Hiring a roofer who doesn’t know the TWIA inspection will happen. Too many people in Aransas Pass sign with whoever’s cheapest, only to have the roof torn off and the job fail inspection because the decking wasn’t re-sheathed or the connectors weren’t replaced. Now they’re stuck with a dry-in that can’t pass, and a second contractor has to fix it. Before you sign anything, ask the roofer what he’ll do when TWIA flags the deck. If he doesn’t have a written answer, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll put it in writing before we ever put a ladder on your roof.
