AfterAmeristar Construction in West Palm Beach, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Ameristar construction service across West Palm Beach, from roof replacements in El Cid to standing seam metal work in the western CBS tract neighborhoods. The thing that makes our Ameristar work different here is one word: wind. West Palm Beach sits inside the Intracoastal 160 mph design band, which means every Ameristar panel we hang has to meet a stricter standard than what most Florida contractors ever touch. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and still owner-operated by Tom Barrett. We cut, fasten, and flash Ameristar metal roofing every week on West Palm Beach homes, and we carry the full Ameristar sales & service knowledge base without any manufacturer affiliation. That independence means we fix what’s actually wrong instead of selling what a factory rep wants moved.
Why West Palm Beach Residents Choose Us for Ameristar Service
Our crews know Ameristar panel behavior from the ridge cap down. We’ve installed the Metro series standing seam on 1920s hollow clay tile and 1990s CBS block alike, so we understand how the same panel performs on wildly different structures. When an Ameristar roof needs work, our West Palm Beach Kitchen Remodeling expertise means we arrive already knowing the common failure points for that specific model.
Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley and learned framing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending decades in the field. He started Barrett & Sons because his oldest boy showed the same interest in tools Tom had at sixteen. That’s who answers the phone when you call. Not a call center. A live person, 24/7, at (877) 610-1318.
Every West Palm Beach Bathroom Remodeling and Ameristar job in West Palm Beach gets permits pulled and inspections signed when eligible. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. And every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. One call brings Tom back if something isn’t right.
Common Ameristar Construction Problems We Solve in West Palm Beach
- Overdriven fasteners on end laps and ridge caps. You see this on older CBS homes where the roof pitch is irregular and someone got aggressive with a gun. Factory gasket footprint gets missed, water finds the gap, and the leak shows up three feet from where the problem lives. We replace the fastener with factory-correct Ameristar clips and torque to spec.
- Panel leg drift on wavy roof decks. Ameristar Metro panels will oil-can and chafe when standing seam legs lose their spacing over settled or wavy plywood. In Flamingo Park and El Cid re-roofs, where design wind loads exceed 140 mph, that chafing becomes wind chatter. We correct the deck plane and re-space the legs before re-seating the seams.
- White rust on Galvalume cut edges. Salt-laden air off Lake Worth Lagoon attacks any field-cut edge where factory coating is broken. Flashing and gutters meeting panels are the usual victims. We treat the cut edge, replace compromised flashing, and use 316 stainless fasteners in coastal ZIP codes.
- Delaminated Insulated Core panels at trim junctions. On 1980s and 2000s CBS tract homes in 33411 and 33412, partial roof replacements sometimes skipped sealant at trim. Humidity drills into the core, and the panel starts coming apart. We replace the affected section and seal the junction properly.
- Wrong aftermarket clips in salt zones. Galvanized clips look fine on the shelf and start rusting within two seasons near the Intracoastal. We swap them for 316 stainless and check the panel legs for early corrosion before they fail.
Ameristar Service in West Palm Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
West Palm Beach is the only municipality in Palm Beach County where a contractor can face two separate approval paths for the same Ameristar panel system on one roof. Change the color of an Ameristar metal roof in El Cid, and the Historic Preservation Board wants a minor work certificate before you touch anything. Tear that same roof off and the county wants a wind-load recertification because the house sits inside the Intracoastal 160 mph design band. No neighboring city requires both. A contractor in Lake Worth or Riviera Beach replaces an Ameristar roof and moves on. Here, we’re pulling historic review paperwork and structural wind documentation for the same job. That dual path changes how we plan every Ameristar installation inside the historic districts. It changes lead times, because board review cycles don’t move fast. It changes material choices, because the board may reject a modern finish even if the engineering works. And it changes cost, because two approval tracks mean more drawings, more submittals, and more coordination than a tract-home re-roof.
Ameristar Models & Products We Service in West Palm Beach
We service the full Ameristar metal envelope: Metro series standing seam panels, Insulated Core wall and roof panels, Ridgevent and Trim profiles, and Eave Drip and Fascia components. For repairs that touch panel profile or warranty-adjacent components, we use factory-match Ameristar trim, clips, and fasteners. When Ameristar lead times stretch past two weeks on inside corners or vents, we substitute equivalent-grade aftermarket flashing and tell you in writing what changed and why. We replace a panel or section rather than patch when corrosion has undermined a factory seam. A field sealer fix in coastal humidity rarely lasts two West Palm Beach summers.
Ameristar Service Pricing in West Palm Beach
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $10,000 - $28,000 |
What drives the number here is engineering and approvals more than square footage. A re-roof inside the 160 mph wind band carries fastener upgrades, opening-protection work, and often historic board submittals that a Central Florida bid would never include. Your free estimate with Barrett & Sons includes a written line-item scope, a permit plan, and no allowance without a dollar figure on paper. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.

FAQs - Ameristar Construction in West Palm Beach
Yes. We have done exactly that on a 1938 hollow clay tile house on Barcelona Road in El Cid, using Ameristar Metro 16-inch standing seam in an approved historic matte charcoal. We field-cut custom ridge caps to match the original barrel-tile silhouette for board approval, then swapped the factory galvanized clips for 316 stainless after the first inspection showed early white rust on the exposed legs. The board approved the look, the engineering passed, and the roof performs. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the same process for your house.
Salt air accelerates white rust on any Galvalume cut edge where factory coating is broken, typically at field-cut flashing and gutter junctions. We use 316 stainless fasteners and clips on every Ameristar metal roof within a mile of the Intracoastal, and we inspect panels for early corrosion at the cut edges during every repair visit.
Often yes. The 33411 ZIP sits in Palm Beach County’s coastal construction zone with design wind speeds exceeding 160 mph near the Intracoastal. A full Ameristar replacement on a 1980s CBS house typically requires a wind-load recertification as part of the permit package, plus opening-protection upgrades if windows or doors fall short of current code. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll pull your property card before quoting so you know the real scope upfront.
Overdriven fasteners on end laps and ridge caps. The wind works the loose seam, water finds the gap, and the leak shows up days after the storm passed. We see this on homes where the original install cut corners on fastener torque. The fix is straightforward: replace the fasteners with factory-correct clips and torque to spec. No full re-roof needed in most cases.
Sometimes, but not when corrosion has undermined the factory seam around the vent. A field sealer patch in coastal humidity rarely survives two wet seasons. If the panel is sound and the leak is at a fastener or flashing, a patch works fine. If the seam is compromised, replacing the panel section is the honest fix. We’ll show you photos of what we found and put both options in writing before you decide. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free inspection.
