AfterCertainTeed Construction in Fort Worth, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent CertainTeed service across Fort Worth, from Fairmount bungalows to ranch homes in 76107. The thing that makes our CertainTeed work different here is that we know Fort Worth’s Certificate of Appropriateness process inside out, and we know how Blackland clay moves under these homes. Tom Barrett and his sons have been matching period-correct siding profiles and pulling historic-district permits for nearly three decades. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Worth Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
We’re not a franchise and we’re not a manufacturer hotline. Barrett & Sons Construction is an independent CertainTeed service provider, owned by Tom Barrett, who grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching crews pour foundations and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. When you call about CertainTeed siding, roofing, or trim, you’ll talk to someone who has actually pulled the old pieces off Fort Worth houses and seen what forty years of clay heave does to a wall. We stock common CertainTeed trim, utility channel, and starter strips right here in Fort Worth, so repairs don’t sit waiting on a freight truck from Pennsylvania. Our CertainTeed sales & service work has covered hundreds of remodels and additions across the city’s historic districts, including homes with original CertainTeed siding that predates the 1960s.
Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Worth
Fort Worth’s climate and soil create a specific set of failures on CertainTeed products. Here’s what we see most often:
- Blackland clay heave cracking stucco at CertainTeed Eco-Therm wall transitions. The clay under Fort Worth shrinks and swells several inches between drought and rain. When the slab heaves, the rigid Eco-Therm insulation doesn’t flex, and the stucco at the transition line cracks open. We repair these by installing expansion joints that actually move, which most original builders never bothered with.
- Hail-punctured CertainTeed vinyl soffit and fascia on west-facing ridges. Fort Worth sits in the core ice-storm belt, and spring hailstorms pound the west elevations hardest. Vinyl soffit gets punched through, fascia cracks, and water finds its way into the eaves. We replace the damaged runs and match the existing color and profile so you can’t tell where the patch starts.
- Improperly flashed CertainTeed Cedar Impressions corners lifting on pier-and-beam additions. Most of the 1920s-1950s homes in 76104, 76106, 76109, and 76110 sit on original pier-and-beam foundations. When beams flex, the corner trim fasteners pull, and water gets behind the siding at the exact point where you can’t see it. We rebuild these corners with a floating fastening detail that lets the frame breathe.
- Fiber cement butt joints opening during winter freeze-thaw cycles. Fort Worth’s drought-to-deluge swings mean joints cut too tight in July will bind and open come February. We spec a 1/4″ caulk joint at every WeatherBoards butt and use backer rod so the sealant moves with the board instead of against it.
- Period-correct CertainTeed siding matching on historic homes. Homes in Fairmount and Ryan Place under the Historic and Cultural Landmarks overlay need design review before any exterior work. If your original CertainTeed asphalt siding is failing, we’ll source the closest legacy profile and walk the Certificate of Appropriateness with you.
CertainTeed Service in Fort Worth: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something that doesn’t show up on a generic CertainTeed service page: Fort Worth is the only city in the metro that requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior work in designated historic districts like Fairmount and Ryan Place. That means every CertainTeed siding or trim replacement on those homes must pass design review before permits are issued. Out-of-town contractors get caught on this constantly. They quote a job, start pulling the old siding, and the city stops the work because nobody filed the historic review. We’ve done this enough times to know which profiles the landmarks commission will accept and which ones will get bounced. If you live in 76110 and want to replace storm-checked CertainTeed gable vents or match original asphalt siding, that review is part of the job, not a surprise at the end. We handle the paperwork from the first site visit, and we’ll tell you honestly if a replacement profile doesn’t exist anymore and what your options are.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fort Worth
We work on the full range of CertainTeed exterior lines: MainStreet vinyl siding, Carriage House vinyl siding, WeatherBoards fiber cement siding, and Fort Worth Bathroom Remodeling with Landmark shingles. For legacy homes, we routinely match period-correct profiles for Fairmount and Ryan Place additions, including original CertainTeed asphalt siding that predates the 1960s. When we can match the profile, we match it. When we can’t, we’re straight with you about which sections should be replaced for structural integrity rather than patched. Our parts approach is simple: OEM-compatible components, utility channel, starter strips, and trim stocked in Fort Worth so most repairs move without waiting on special orders. On a 1940s bungalow in Fairmount, our crew found the original CertainTeed asphalt siding was not rated for the soil-driven movement. We specified WeatherBoards fiber cement with a 1/4″ caulk joint at every butt, then rebuilt the Cedar Impressions corner trim with a floating fastening detail that lets the frame breathe through Fort Worth’s clay cycles. We finished by replacing storm-checked CertainTeed gable vents with new units and re-flashing them to the original rafter tails.

FAQs - CertainTeed Construction in Fort Worth
Yes. Fort Worth’s Historic and Cultural Landmarks overlay requires design review and a Certificate of Appropriateness before any exterior CertainTeed siding or trim replacement is permitted in Fairmount, Ryan Place, and other designated districts in 76110. The landmarks commission will look at the profile, the material, and the color, and they can reject a product that doesn’t match the neighborhood’s period character. We handle the review from day one. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you upfront what will pass and what won’t.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The original CertainTeed asphalt siding from the 1950s and 1960s isn’t manufactured anymore, so we source the closest legacy profile available or reproduce it when the commission requires a match. If the structure underneath is sound, we can splice with a minimally invasive reproduced profile. If the substrate is failing, we’ll be honest and recommend replacing those sections. Call (877) 610-1318 for a site visit and we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible on your house.
Pier-and-beam foundations in Fort Worth’s older ZIP codes flex as the Blackland clay beneath them shrinks and swells. When the frame moves, vinyl siding panels fastened tight to the studs buckle and distort. The fix is replacing the affected runs with the correct fastener tension and installing expansion joints at the right intervals. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule an inspection.
Fort Worth hailstorms can crack WeatherBoards fiber cement siding, especially on west and north elevations that take the direct impact. Hairline cracks that don’t expose the substrate can often be caulked and repainted. Chips, punctures, or cracks wider than a dime usually require board replacement. We’ll inspect for free and tell you which category your house falls into. Call (877) 610-1318.
Not always. The February 2021 freeze caused widespread failures in building envelope details across Fort Worth, and Cedar Impressions corners on pier-and-beam homes were hit especially hard because the freezing frame movement pulled fasteners loose. If the corner is cracked or the fastening detail is compromised, replacement is the honest answer. If it’s just cosmetic, we can re-seat and re-flash it. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free inspection and we’ll tell you straight.
