AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Arcadia
Roofing in Arcadia means working on two very different houses in the same week. A roof replacement on a 1963 ranch in the 91007 ZIP runs $8,000-$20,000, while a standing seam metal roof on a new hillside build can top $40,000. We know both ends of that range because our crews are in Arcadia constantly, pulling permits, coordinating with inspectors, and fixing what other contractors left behind. If you need a straight answer about your roof, call Tom Barrett’s team at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you one.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Arcadia’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. You’ll see the same faces on your roof from tear-off to final inspection, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. That matters in Arcadia because roof work here is rarely simple. A 1958 ranch on a flat 9,000 sq ft lot and a 7,500 sq ft custom build on a hillside a half-mile north demand completely different approaches, and we’ve done both more times than we can count.
Our Arcadia customers call because they’ve been burned. A national outfit quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a change order after the old roof came off. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before we touch anything. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we make sure every reroof in Arcadia has permits pulled and inspections signed. That’s the only way it should be done, and it’s the way we’ve done it for 29 years.
We answer our own phone, day and night. (877) 610-1318. Not a call center. Not a voicemail box. A live person who knows Arcadia’s neighborhoods, its building department, and its weather.
Our Roofing Services in Arcadia
Roof Leak Repair
Leaks in Arcadia tend to show up in specific places. On the 1950s-1970s ranch homes that dominate the 91006 and 91007 ZIPs, we find rot around plumbing vents where original skip sheathing finally gave out. On newer two-story builds along the foothills, water tracks under barrel tile valleys when rain comes off the San Gabriels faster than the old drains can handle. Roof leak repair in Arcadia runs $400-$1,800, and the sooner we find the source, the less the deck repair costs.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on an Arcadia home runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on slope, deck condition, and what’s underneath the old shingles. On original ranch homes we often find problems no one ever saw because the original roof was put on without a permit. Failing rafters, missing collar ties, decking that turns to sponge when you look at it. That’s a change order, in writing, before underlayment goes down. On new tear-down rebuilds, we’re installing engineered trusses and coordinating with designers who have strong opinions about every roofline. Both jobs start the same way: a free estimate, a written scope, and a fixed price before we order anything.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
Standing seam metal roofing in Arcadia runs $15,000-$40,000. On hillside lots north of Foothill Boulevard, it’s often the smartest choice because it sheds debris and handles the kind of wind that comes off the mountains. But lead time matters. Custom panels are fabricated to your roofline’s exact dimensions, and the mill doesn’t rush for anyone. If you want a metal roof on before winter storm season, call us months ahead, not weeks. We’ll fix the price in writing before we order the panels, so you know the number won’t move while you wait.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs are everywhere in Arcadia, especially on the newer luxury builds. They’re beautiful and they last, but they need a roofer who understands how water moves under them. Tile roof repair in Arcadia runs $600-$2,500. The most common failure we see is water backing up in the valleys when the drains can’t keep up, then rotting the OSB deck before any ceiling stain appears. We fix the drainage, replace the underlayment, and reset the tile so the roofline looks untouched.

Trusted Brands We Service in Arcadia
We install GAF and CertainTeed asphalt shingles, standing seam metal systems, and barrel tile that matches what’s already on your block. When an Arcadia homeowner needs a specific tile profile or a custom metal color, we order it by name, not whatever’s on the supply-house shelf. If you’re replacing a few cracked tiles on a 1960s ranch or spec’ing a full standing seam roof for a new build, we’ll show you the brand options, the warranty terms, and the lead time in writing so you’re making a real decision, not guessing. We’re glad to discuss Simonton and PGT for any window or skylight work tied to your reroof as well.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Arcadia Homes
- Rot around plumbing vents on original ranch homes. When a 1962 roof was installed over skip sheathing, there’s no solid deck around the vent pipes. Decades of condensation and occasional leaks rot the boards until the pipe is basically floating. We see this constantly in the 91007 ZIP.
- Barrel tile valleys that can’t handle foothill rain. New two-story footprints in Arcadia’s upper neighborhoods capture more rainwater than the original roof drains were ever designed to move. Water backs up under the tile, soaks the underlayment, and rots the OSB deck before you ever see a stain on the ceiling.
- Steep, multi-hip rooflines that trap pine needles. Arcadia’s mature oaks drop needles all year. On feng shui-driven roof shapes with sharp slopes and intersecting hips, those needles pile into box gutters and valleys, clogging drainage and forcing water into the eave lines. Regular maintenance matters more here than on a simple gable roof.
- Roof transitions on additions that tie into the original ranch roofline. When a new two-story addition meets a 1960s single-story roof, the transition point is where leaks start. The old roof wasn’t framed to integrate with new dormers, valleys, and drains. We reframe the transition, strap the roof-to-wall connections, and make sure the new drainage carries water away from both structures.

FAQs - Roofing in Arcadia
Reserve it by late summer. Standing seam panels for Arcadia hillside homes are fabricated to your exact roofline dimensions, and fabrication mills run on their own schedule. If you call us in September, we can usually complete the job before the first heavy rains come off the San Gabriels. If you call in November, you may be looking at a January install. Call (877) 610-1318 now and we’ll lock your slot and your price in writing before we order a single panel.
Yes, the city requires a permit for a full roof replacement, and we pull it every time. The permit inspector works for you, not for the contractor. On a 1960s ranch in the 91007 ZIP, the inspection matters because it’s the moment we confirm the existing rafters and deck can support the new roof. If the original roof never had a permit, we may find structural issues that need a written change order before underlayment goes down. Better to know before the shingles are stacked on your driveway.
We reframe the transition from the inside out. The original ranch roof wasn’t built to intersect with a two-story addition, so the connection point needs new framing, proper strapping, and a valley design that moves water away from both structures. We handle this on nearly every Arcadia addition we roof, and we coordinate with your designer or architect so the transition looks intentional, not patched. The scope goes in writing, and the price is fixed before we order materials.
It’s a legitimate question, and one we hear from Arcadia homeowners who take feng shui seriously. The practical issue is drainage: if the front door aligns with the garage gutter, water pouring off that roofline flows toward the entry, which is exactly what feng shui advises against. We can relocate the downspouts, add a rain diverter, or adjust the gutter pitch so water drains away from the door line. The metal roof itself doesn’t create a feng shui problem if the drainage is designed correctly. We’ll walk you through the options, put the plan in writing, and do the work before the next storm.
Santa Ana winds don’t bring rain, but they do lift and shift barrel tiles enough to crack the underlayment or open a gap at a valley. When the next rain comes, water finds that opening. The fact that it leaked upstairs means the water traveled under the tile from a higher point on the roof before finding a place to drop through. We locate the source by checking the tile laps and underlayment above the hallway, not just the spot where the ceiling got wet. Roof leak repair in Arcadia runs $400-$1,800, but an exact quote starts with a free inspection. Call (877) 610-1318.
