AfterOwens Corning Construction in Irving, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Owens Corning in Dallas roof and building enclosure service across Irving, TX, from the 1950s tract homes west of Loop 12 to the aging commercial towers in Las Colinas. What sets our Owens Corning work apart here is simple: we build for Blackland Prairie clay movement first and brand spec second. When a Duration shingle cracks on a shifting slab home, the fix isn’t another shingle. It’s understanding why the roof plane moved. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Irving Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998, and we’ve spent nearly three decades working on Owens Corning roofs across Irving’s older neighborhoods and commercial corridors. We’re not an Owens Corning dealer and we’re not factory-affiliated. We’re an independent contractor who knows the product line well enough to tell you when an OC component is the right call and when a different material will outlast it on your specific street.
Crews from Barrett & Sons have rebuilt enough Owens Corning roofs in Irving to recognize failure patterns before they become ceiling stains. That’s the difference between replacing shingles and fixing the roof. Tom’s sons run the crews, every price change arrives as a written change order, and every complete job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. We’ll do it right the first time, or we’ll come back and make it right.
If you want to understand our Owens Corning sales & service work, the best place to start is the roof deck, not the shingle. In Irving, the deck is moving. We build accordingly.
Common Owens Corning Construction Problems We Solve in Irving
- Ridge cracking on older Duration shingles. Irving’s Blackland Prairie clay shrinks hard in summer and heaves when fall rains arrive. That movement racks the roof plane on slab-on-grade homes, and older Duration shingles crack along the ridge line when the deck shears beneath them. We sister the cracked rafters, stabilize the deck, and re-shingle with a product that flexes instead of splitting.
- Granule loss on south-facing Oakridge slopes. Extended Irving heat bakes the asphalt mat on Oakridge shingles, especially on unshaded south exposures. Granules start washing down the gutters within fifteen to twenty years. Once the mat is exposed, the shingle is done. We inspect before we recommend anything.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at VentSure openings on low-slope commercial runs. Buildings along the SH-114 corridor near DFW’s approach paths catch real turbulence. Wind stacks rain into DeckDefense attic openings and VentSure intake gaps where the detailing wasn’t done for that kind of pressure. We reflash, reseal, and correct the intake before it rots the decking.
- Nail pops and lifted tabs on slab homes with fascia movement. If the fascia is moving and the shingle was nailed too high or too shallow, tabs lift within a few seasons. We set nails to spec with stainless fasteners and check the underlying movement before we call it a repair.
- Failed starter strips and hip/ridge caps from aftermarket kits. A lot of Irving homes got re-roofed after hail storms by out-of-town crews using generic components. The shingle might say Owens Corning but the starter strip and caps are whatever came off the truck. Water gets in at the eaves and hips. We replace with genuine OC components matched to the shingle.
Owens Corning Service in Irving: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Irving sits squarely on the Blackland Prairie formation, and the montmorillonite clay under our slab homes routinely changes volume by more than 15 percent between the dry stretch of August and the first real rains of October. That expansion and contraction doesn’t just crack driveways and brick veneer. It racks roof planes on older slab-on-grade houses in West Irving, particularly across the 75060 ZIP and the blocks around the old Irving High School. The deck shears a fraction of an inch. Over time, that’s enough to shear the top row of nails along the ridge and crack every shingle above the truss line. This movement pattern does not hit Arlington or Dallas at the same intensity because they sit on less expansive Eagle Ford shale outcrops. If your Owens Corning roof keeps cracking along the ridge and nobody can tell you why the deck is moving, you’re asking the wrong person. We measure the movement, sister what’s failed, and specify a roof assembly that can take the racking. That’s the job. Everything else is shingle sales.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Irving
We service the full Owens Corning residential line: Duration Series shingles including Duration Flex for the high-wind exposure along the SH-114 corridor, Oakridge shingles, TruDefinition Duration Designer Colors, and the VentSure ridge and intake vent family. We also work on Owens Corning low-slope commercial assemblies in Las Colinas, where the original 1980s build-outs are hitting the 35 to 40 year mark and need more than a patch.
For repairs, we default to genuine Owens Corning fasteners, starter strips, and hip and ridge caps so the patch matches the roof. If a component is chronically failing here due to soil movement, we use locally proven high-slip underlayment and stainless fasteners rather than repeat a failing OE spec. We keep common OC starter, cap, and vent stock locally so an Irving Kitchen Remodeling - Irving repair doesn’t wait on a distribution run from Dallas.
Owens Corning Service Pricing in Irving
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair (Owens Corning shingles) | $400-$1800 |
| Roof Replacement (Duration Series) | $8000-$20000 |
| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $15000-$40000 |
Repair pricing depends on how many squares are involved, whether the deck has been damaged, and whether we need to sister rafters or stabilize framing before re-shingling. A full replacement quote includes tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, shingle, vents, flashing, and Bathroom Remodeling - Irving disposal. We recommend repairs when roof area damage is under 40 percent. Beyond that, a full tear-off to decking costs less long-term than chasing cracks across shifting trusses. Every price change arrives as a written change order before we touch the roof. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Owens Corning Construction in Irving
Irving’s Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts enough to rack roof planes on slab homes, and that movement cracks shingles along the ridge and eaves. Arlington and Dallas sit on less expansive Eagle Ford shale, so their decks don’t move the same way. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll inspect your roof plane for movement before we touch a shingle.
Yes. We stage repairs in sections, keep roof access isolated, and work around tenant hours so the building keeps operating. Low-slope repairs in Las Colinas usually involve reflashing VentSure openings, sealing DeckDefense penetrations, and correcting drainage before water gets into the curtain wall.
If granules are washing into the gutters and the mat is exposed, the shingle has lost its UV protection and is on borrowed time. Waiting often means deck damage by the time it leaks, which turns a re-roof into a deck replacement. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free inspection, and we’ll tell you honestly whether you have a year or a month.
We use genuine Owens Corning fasteners, starter strips, and hip and ridge caps for brand-matched repairs. When an OC component keeps failing due to Irving’s soil movement, we switch to locally proven high-slip underlayment and stainless fasteners rather than repeat a failing OE spec.
A new roof won’t stop the clay from moving, but the way we prepare and rebuild the deck can keep the roof plane from racking the same way. We sister cracked rafters, stabilize the deck, and specify flexible shingles where the movement is measured. If your foundation needs work, we’ll tell you that before we roof over it. Call (877) 610-1318.
