AfterCertainTeed Construction in Amarillo, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, an independent Amarillo construction company that works on CertainTeed roofing and siding every week. What makes our CertainTeed work different here is simple: we know what High Plains hail, 50 mph wind gusts, and caliche hardpan actually do to these materials, because we fix them after every storm season. If you have a CertainTeed roof or CertainTeed siding in Amarillo and need a straight answer, call us at (877) 610-1318. We’re local, owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name is on every truck.
Why Amarillo Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
CertainTeed builds good materials. That’s not the question. The question is whether the crew installing or repairing them understands what Amarillo throws at a roof or a wall. We do, because we live here. Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley and learned framing and finishing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, but the last two decades of building and remodeling across Amarillo taught him something no classroom could: wind here doesn’t read the manufacturer’s installation manual. It tests it. Our crews have re-nailed enough CertainTeed Landmark shingles along roof rakes to know exactly where a 50 mph gust finds weakness. We use CertainTeed sales & service knowledge that comes from putting these products on real Amarillo homes, not from a training video. And when something goes wrong, the owner answers the phone. Not a call center, not a voicemail box. Tom Barrett answers.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Amarillo
- Hail impact fractures on CertainTeed Landmark shingles. Amarillo sits in the middle of Hail Alley, where golf-ball-to-baseball-sized hail is a regular visitor. When a storm pounds a 1960s ranch with original decking, Landmark shingles don’t just lose granules. They fracture through the mat. We document every impact point before we touch anything, because your insurance adjuster will want the same photos we do.
- Wind uplift and shingle blow-off at roof edges and rakes. Sustained 50+ mph winds don’t care if your nailing pattern met code for Dallas. Along the west and north rakes of Amarillo homes, we regularly find shingles that lifted, creased, and then failed. The fix is often a manufacturer-specified high-wind nailing schedule across the entire slope, not a patch job.
- Granule loss from freeze-thaw cycling and wind-driven abrasion. Amarillo swings from 100°F summers to sub-zero winters in the same calendar year. That thermal cycling stresses asphalt shingles more than lower-elevation markets like Lubbock or Oklahoma City ever experience. Lost granules mean premature UV exposure and a roof that ages five years in three.
- Cracking and warping of CertainTeed Cedar Impressions siding. On older east-side wood-frame homes, caliche-disturbed foundations shift with drought and freeze-thaw cycles. That movement telegraphs right up into siding. We see Cedar Impressions panels separating at trim lines on homes where the footing has moved a half-inch over forty years.
- Caliche add-ons that surprise out-of-town crews. Amarillo’s caliche hardpan can start 12 to 18 inches below grade. A Dallas or Houston crew quoting a simple footing job without a rock-breaker line item is going to bleed money. We already know to include it. That’s not a trick. That’s just living here.
CertainTeed Service in Amarillo: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Amarillo is the geographic center of Hail Alley, the strip of the Great Plains that runs from the Texas Panhandle up into South Dakota. Insurance claims for hail-damaged CertainTeed roofs in Amarillo consistently rank among the highest per capita in the nation. That’s not a fun fact. It means post-storm roof replacement is a recurring local construction cycle here, the same way hurricane prep is a cycle in Houston. Every May and June, our crews photograph hail-impacted Landmark shingles on 1950s brick-veneer ranch homes across ZIP 79119 and 79121, then race the next storm front to get new material laid before another cell rolls off the Caprock. Contractors in Lubbock and Oklahoma City deal with hail too, but they do not face the same recurring, near-annual certainty of golf-ball-sized impact damage that Amarillo does. For homeowners seeking Certainteed service in Lubbock, the storm patterns differ significantly. If you own CertainTeed roofing in this city, you need a contractor who treats hail season as a season, not a surprise.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Amarillo
We work on CertainTeed Landmark asphalt shingles, CertainTeed Presidential Shake, CertainTeed Cedar Impressions siding, and CertainTeed FlintBoard insulation. When a visual or warranty-sensitive match is required, like a single hail-damaged slope on an otherwise solid Landmark roof, we use genuine CertainTeed replacement materials. But we’ll also be honest when a full reroof with a quality aftermarket option makes more financial sense than patching a heavily deteriorated CertainTeed roof. We stock common CertainTeed colors and accessories locally for quick Amarillo turnaround, and we order exact-match presidential profiles when the job calls for it. Beyond roofing, we also offer Amarillo Kitchen Remodeling for homeowners looking to update their homes. The goal is a roof that holds through the next hail season, not a brand label at any price.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Amarillo
It usually doesn’t affect the roof surface itself, but it affects anything touching the ground. If your ranch needs decking replacement or reinforcement at the eaves, caliche can complicate ladder jack footing and any ground-level staging. More importantly, caliche-driven foundation movement on older east-side homes can telegraph into fascia and trim, which then affects how CertainTeed drip edge and starter shingles seat along the roofline. We check for that before quoting. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at the whole property, not just the shingle layer.
Hail impact fractures through the shingle mat, usually concentrated on west and southwest roof slopes where prevailing wind drives hail at an angle. On a 1960s ranch with original decking, those fractures let water reach the underlayment within days. We see it most after May supercells. If you suspect impact damage, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a documented inspection. Free estimates, and we’ll photograph every fracture so your insurance claim matches reality.
Yes, but only after we assess the foundation. Brick veneer ranch homes in east-side ZIPs like 79103 and 79104 often sit on expansive clay that shifts with freeze-thaw and drought cycles. We will not hang Cedar Impressions siding over a foundation that’s still moving. If the footing is stable, we can install furring strips over the brick and lay the siding correctly. If the footing isn’t stable, that’s the first conversation we’ll have. Call (877) 610-1318 for an evaluation.
For many Amarillo homeowners, yes. A standing seam metal roof rated for high-wind zones handles golf-ball hail and 50 mph gusts better than any asphalt shingle ever will. You’ll pay $15,000 to $40,000 depending on roof size and profile, which is more than Landmark replacement. But you may never replace a hail-damaged shingle again. Some insurance carriers also offer premium discounts for impact-rated metal roofing in Hail Alley. We’ll give you both prices in writing and let you decide. Call (877) 610-1318 for the full comparison.
Call us right away at (877) 610-1318. We can tarp exposed areas quickly and document damage while the hail impact marks are still fresh. Do not walk the roof yourself. If a shingle is displaced or the underlayment is exposed, a temporary tarp prevents water intrusion until we can replace the affected slopes properly. We’ll photograph everything for your insurer and keep the tarp in place until permanent repair.
