AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Arlington
Roof failure in Arlington rarely announces itself politely. It shows up as a water stain spreading across the ceiling of a 1970s ranch house off Park Row Drive, or as granules collecting in the gutters of a two-story off Green Oaks Boulevard the week after a spring hailstorm rolls through. If you’re reading this, you probably already know something’s wrong and you want a straight answer on what it costs and who can actually fix it. Most roof repairs in Arlington run $400-$1,800, and a full replacement typically falls in the $8,000-$20,000 range depending on size, pitch, and material. Barrett & Sons Construction has served Arlington homeowners with roof repair, replacement, and storm damage work for years, and you can reach a live person at (877) 610-1318 any time.
We’re not a national outfit dispatching strangers from three states away. Tom Barrett owns the company, his sons run the crews, and every job starts with a written scope of work before a single shingle comes off. If you want a roofer who answers the phone and puts every price change on paper before it happens, you’ve found the right page.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Arlington’s Preferred Roofing Company
Ask anyone who’s been burned by a national roofing chain and they’ll tell you the same thing: the phone quote never matches the invoice. That’s the exact problem Barrett & Sons was built to solve back in 1998. Tom Barrett lives nearby, his name sits on the side of the truck, and his sons are on-site most days running the work. When you call about a roof in Arlington, you’re not talking to a sales rep in another state. You’re talking to the family that’s going to be standing on your roof.
We know Arlington’s housing stock because we’ve worked on it for years. The central and eastern zip codes (76010, 76011, 76012) are full of post-war tract ranch homes built between 1960 and 1985, slab-on-grade construction that’s now 40 to 65 years old. Those roofs have been through four or five decades of Texas sun, hail seasons, and heat that bakes shingles until they cup and crack. A roofer who only works on new construction in master-planned communities won’t recognize half of what we see on a typical Arlington re-roof.
Every estimate we give an Arlington homeowner is free. Every job over $200 qualifies for our $40-off repair discount. And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No fine print, no phone tree, no runaround.
Our Roofing Services in Arlington
Roof Repair
Most Arlington roof repairs fall in the $400-$1,800 range, and the most common calls we get are for wind-lifted shingles after spring storms, nail pops from decades of heat cycling, and flashing failures around chimneys and pipe boots. On older ranch homes in the 76010 and 76011 corridors, we frequently find that what looked like a simple leak is actually failed sealant at a valley or a rotted deck section beneath the shingles. We don’t patch over rot. We open the area, replace what’s failed, and show you the work before we close it up.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on an Arlington home typically runs $8,000-$20,000, with ranch-style homes on the lower end and two-story or steep-pitch homes on the higher end. We handle tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, ventilation correction, and full installation with named brands like GAF and CertainTeed. That matters in Arlington because the city sits in a high-frequency hail corridor. If you’re replacing a roof, you want a system that’s documented, warranted, and installed to the manufacturer’s spec, not whatever was cheapest at the supply yard that week.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Arlington runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof footprint and whether you choose standing seam or exposed fastener panels. Metal makes real sense here: it shrugs off hail better than asphalt, it reflects the brutal Texas summer sun, and it can last 40 to 50 years with minimal fuss. We install standing seam systems with all the proper underlayment and flashing details, and we’re happy to walk you through the cost difference between a metal roof and a second or third asphalt replacement over the life of the house.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Arlington runs $600-$2,500 per repair typically, and full tile installations are priced custom based on roof structure and material. Barrel tile is less common on the older ranch stock throughout Arlington, but we do see it on Mediterranean-style homes near Lake Arlington and in some of the newer custom builds west of Cooper Street. Tile roofs need care from someone who understands the underlayment system beneath the tile, not just someone who can swap a cracked piece. We inspect the whole assembly, not just the visible surface.

Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington
We install and service roofing systems from GAF and CertainTeed, plus metal profiles from manufacturers whose names you can look up and verify. No mystery brands off the back of a van. What that means for Arlington homeowners is straightforward: when a manufacturer’s warranty claim comes up after a hail event, there’s a paper trail and a real installation standard behind it. We also coordinate gutter and drainage work with materials from Oldcastle and Quikrete when concrete or masonry elements tie into the roof system, so the whole envelope works together instead of fighting each other.
If your project touches more than the roof, we can help there too. We regularly handle siding, trim, and exterior opening work alongside Windows & Doors in Arlington, and we coordinate with Fence Installation in Arlington when storm damage takes out fence lines at the same time it hits the roof. You shouldn’t need three contractors and three phone numbers for one storm claim. For a full look at what we do on the roofing side, see our Roofing page.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Hail bruising and granule loss. Arlington sits in a high-frequency hail corridor, and the city’s housing stock is old enough that many roofs are on their second or third shingle layer. Hail damage on a 1980s ranch home off Matlock Road often doesn’t leak immediately. It bruises the shingle mat, which fails a year or two later in the first 100-degree stretch.
- Clay-soil movement cracking flashing joints. Blackland Prairie clay swells and shrinks with every rain and drought cycle. On slab-on-grade homes in 76010 through 76012, that movement transfers up through the framing and cracks roof flashing at the chimney, the pipe boots, and the wall-to-roof joints. A roofer who’s only worked on newer engineered-fill subdivisions may never have seen this failure mode.
- Baked-out sealant at valleys and ridges. Arlington’s summer heat regularly pushes roof surface temperatures past 160 degrees. Over 15 to 20 years, that burns out the sealant at every valley, ridge cap, and vent boot. We replace a lot of ridge cap and valley metal on older Arlington homes where the shingles still look fine from the street.
- Poor ventilation from decades-old roof designs. Many 1960s and 1970s ranch homes in Arlington were built with minimal intake ventilation by today’s standards. Hot attics bake shingles from underneath and drive cooling bills through the roof in August. When we replace these, we correct the venting at the eave and ridge as part of the job, not as an optional add-on.
Pricing for Roofing in Arlington, TX
You deserve real numbers, not a “call for pricing” hedge. A typical roof repair in Arlington lands between $400 and $1,800. A standard asphalt shingle replacement on a ranch-style home runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage and access. Metal roofing runs $15,000-$40,000. Tile repair sits at $600-$2,500 per event. Factors that move the price include roof pitch, deck condition, the number of layers being torn off, and whether we’re correcting ventilation or flashing that a previous roofer ignored.
We don’t surprise you at the end. Every scope, every allowance, every price change comes as a written change order before the work begins. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before a single nail moves. And every roofing job over $200 carries our $40-off repair discount. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% off. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, or use our Free Second Opinion offer if you already have a written bid and want someone to look it over before you sign.

FAQs - Roofing in Arlington
The fastest way to get us to your Arlington roof is to call (877) 610-1318 directly. A live person answers 24/7, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. For active leaks and storm damage, we prioritize Arlington calls and can typically have someone assess the property the same day or next morning, depending on call volume. If you need temporary protection before a repair, ask about emergency tarping when you call.
We cover all four Arlington zip codes: 76004, 76005, 76006, and 76007. That includes the older ranch corridors along Park Row and Pioneer Parkway, the neighborhoods around Lake Arlington, newer builds west of Cooper Street, and everything in between. If you’re inside Arlington’s city limits, you’re inside our service area, and there’s no trip charge.
Yes, and it’s one of the most overlooked causes of roof leaks in the city. The Blackland Prairie clay under Arlington expands after spring rains and contracts hard during summer drought. On the slab-on-grade homes that dominate the 76010-76012 corridors, that seasonal movement shifts the framing enough to crack flashing at chimneys, pipe boots, and roof-to-wall transitions. We inspect for these movement-related failures on every repair call in Arlington.
Arlington pricing tracks close to the rest of the Mid-Cities, though the age and condition of the housing stock can push repair scopes higher than newer suburbs. Roof repair in Arlington runs $400-$1,800, and replacement runs $8,000-$20,000, which is in line with Tarrant County overall. What drives cost here isn’t zip code markup. It’s deck rot, failed flashing, and ventilation correction that older Arlington homes commonly need once the roof comes off. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your roof. Estimates are free.
Every roofing job we complete carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right within 90 days, call once and Tom Barrett comes back and fixes it. On top of that, the roofing materials themselves carry manufacturer warranties from GAF and CertainTeed, and we’ll walk you through what’s covered, what’s not, and how to register the warranty so it’s actually valid when you need it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so every warranty detail is in your contract before you sign.
