AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Addison
If you live in Addison and your roof is leaking, or you’re planning a full replacement, the first question is usually what it will cost and how long it will take. A typical roof repair in Addison runs $400-$1,800, while a full roof replacement on most Addison homes lands between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on the roofing system and the condition of the decking underneath. Barrett & Sons Construction has been working on Addison roofs long enough to know that what’s under the shingles matters as much as what’s on top of them. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll send someone who knows this town.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Addison’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise operation. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Addison. When you call, a live person answers, not a call center. And when we give you a price, it comes in writing before the work starts. If the scope changes, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s how we’ve worked for over 29 years, and it’s why Addison homeowners and business owners keep our number.
Addison is a 4.4-square-mile town completely surrounded by Dallas. There’s no new land to build on, so nearly every roofing job here is a reroof, a repair, or a renovation on an existing building. That changes how you have to approach the work. Older Addison buildings, especially the multifamily and mixed-use structures around Addison Circle and along Belt Line Road, carry decades of prior repairs, some permitted and some definitely not. We’ve learned to look for the problems other crews miss. Our Roofing team has opened up enough Addison roofs to know what the Town of Addison permit inspector is going to flag before he even climbs the ladder.
Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can verify all of it. That matters in a town the size of Addison, where word travels fast and reputation is everything.
Our Roofing Services in Addison
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Addison usually means tearing off the old system down to the decking and starting fresh. On older Addison buildings, that decking often tells a story: water damage around old penetrations, framing that shifted with the clay soil, or sections that were patched with whatever the last contractor had in the truck. We replace what needs replacing, document it, and bring everything up to current Town of Addison code before the new roof goes on. GAF shingles are a common choice for Addison homes because they hold up through the long hot summers and the spring storm season.
Roof Leak Repair
Leaks in Addison rarely start where the water shows up on the ceiling. Clay soil movement under the slab shifts the entire structure over time, and that movement transfers up through the walls to the roof-to-wall connections. Flashing tears at chimneys, parapets, and dormers are the usual suspects. We trace the leak to its actual source, repair the flashing or membrane, and test before we call it done. A typical leak repair in Addison runs $400-$1,800 depending on what we find once we open it up.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing makes sense in Addison for the same reasons it makes sense across North Texas: it sheds hail better than asphalt, reflects more heat, and lasts decades longer. For commercial buildings along Belt Line Road, a standing seam metal roof also gives you clean, curb-mounted penetrations for kitchen exhaust systems, which matters more than you’d think in a restaurant-heavy town. Metal roof installation in Addison typically runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof size and the metal profile you choose.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofs show up on some of the older custom homes in Addison, and they need a different set of hands than asphalt shingle work. Tile repair runs $600-$2,500 in Addison. The challenge with tile is that the underlayment usually fails long before the tile itself does, and walking on old tile without breaking it takes experience. We match the existing profile where we can and always inspect the underlayment while we’re up there.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Addison Homes
- Clay soil movement shifting roof-to-wall connections. Addison sits on Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks hard during droughts and swells after rain. Over time, that seasonal movement pulls flashing away from walls and chimneys, creating the small gaps where water gets in and rot starts.
- Grease-laden exhaust from restaurant kitchens accelerating membrane wear. Along Belt Line Road, rooftop exhaust from commercial kitchens deposits a fine grease film on roof surfaces. That residue breaks down membrane materials faster than normal weathering, especially around unsealed penetrations left behind by prior buildouts.
- Prior buildout work that never got permitted. We find more unauthorized roof penetrations in Addison’s commercial district than anywhere else we work. Exhaust ducts cut through structural members, vent boots that don’t match code, kick-out flashing that was never installed. The Town of Addison inspector catches these on reroof permits, and so do we, before the roof goes back on.
- Aging multifamily building envelopes around Addison Circle. The mixed-use buildings in Addison Circle are hitting the age where original roofing systems are reaching end of life. Water gets in at parapet walls, around rooftop mechanical units, and at the transitions where the roof meets vertical walls. Repairs on these buildings need to be done with the right materials and the right flashing details, or the leak comes back.

FAQs - Roofing in Addison
Yes, the Town of Addison requires a permit for commercial roof replacement, and the inspector will check for code compliance on vent boots, kick-out flashing, and structural connections before final sign-off. On Belt Line Road buildings especially, we’ve seen inspectors flag non-conforming work from prior tenant buildouts that has to be corrected before the roof passes. We pull the permit, we correct what’s flagged, and you get a signed inspection. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the permit process for your building.
Addison’s Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts with moisture, which moves the slab and transfers subtle shifts up through the walls to the roof structure. That movement pulls flashing away from chimneys, parapets, and vertical walls, creating the small separations where water gets in. Over a decade or two, those small gaps become persistent leaks and rot. When we reroof an Addison building, we inspect the roof-to-wall connections and reinforce or replace flashing as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Yes, we’ve done it multiple times in Addison Circle. It takes planning: staging areas, noise control during business hours, and protecting pedestrian access around the building. We coordinate with the property manager and the businesses below to keep things running while the roof work happens above. The scope and the schedule go in writing before we start, so everyone knows what to expect and when. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your building.
On Addison restaurant roofs, the most common surprises are unauthorized penetrations from prior tenant buildouts, grease-damaged membrane around exhaust vents, and structural members that were cut to run ductwork without a permit. On a 1990s Addison Circle mixed-use building, our crew found a roof leak over a restaurant kitchen where a previous tenant had cut through a load-bearing beam to run a new exhaust duct. We opened the chase, documented the unauthorized work, and brought the area up to current code before installing a standing seam metal roof with proper curb-mounted penetrations, all documented in writing before we started. For the exact scope on your building, call (877) 610-1318 and get us up on the roof for a look.
Yes, we install standing seam metal roofs throughout Addison, including the Belt Line Road restaurant corridor. Standing seam gives you clean curb-mounted penetrations for kitchen exhaust systems, which avoids the problem of unsealed boot penetrations that plague asphalt roofs over commercial kitchens. Metal roof and standing seam installations in Addison run $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof footprint and the metal profile. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written proposal.
