Aptos is a town where you can see the ocean from one street and be standing under redwoods ten minutes later. That geography shapes every roof we touch here. Salt air chews through flashing at Seacliff and Rio Del Mar, while hillside homes above the Village deal with runoff and slope drainage that flatland roofers never think about. We’ve worked both ends of that spectrum, and everything in between, for a long time.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Aptos’s Preferred Roofing Company

Our name is on the truck because our name is on the work. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews here in Aptos. You’ll see us at the hardware store on Saturday. You’ll also see our license number printed on every estimate we hand you, because Tom publishes it. Look it up before you sign anything. We encourage that.

We understand something specific about Aptos homes that a traveling crew from San Jose won’t: the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake didn’t just happen somewhere in California. The epicenter sat directly beneath Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, right here in Aptos. That means half the roofs in this town sit on homes that survived a 6.9 quake and got patched, retrofitted, or rebuilt to very different code standards. Before we touch a roof, we look at what era of framing and bracing is actually underneath it. A roof is only as good as the structure holding it up, and in Aptos, that structure has a story.

We answer calls at all hours, and the person answering knows roofing. Not a script. Crew members are background-checked and uniformed. And every job we complete in Aptos carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.

Our Roofing Services in Aptos

Here’s what we handle most often for Aptos homeowners. Each of these starts with a written scope, a written allowance list, and a signed change-order process. Nothing moves without paper.

Roof Repair

Roof repair in Aptos is usually about water finding a way in. Missing shingles after a winter storm, a cracked tile from a falling branch, flashing that gave up after twenty years of salt spray. We find the actual source of the leak, not just the wet patch on your ceiling. In Aptos, that often means checking valleys and penetrations where fog-driven moisture lingers longer than rain alone.

Roof Replacement & Installation

Most Aptos homes fall into two groups when it comes to full replacement. The 1950s-to-1970s ranchers and beach cottages along Rio Del Mar and the Seacliff corridor often have original framing that needs assessment before we tear off, and many of these same properties later benefit from our Driveway & Pavers - Aptos work when they’re ready to update the hardscape. The post-1989 rebuilds are generally in better seismic shape but can have shortcuts from the boom years. We’ll tell you which group your house falls into, in plain English, and quote you a fixed number. Roof replacement in Aptos begins at $8,000 for a straightforward composition shingle job and goes up based on pitch, layers, and structural work.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing makes a lot of sense near the coast. It sheds the marine layer’s constant moisture, resists salt corrosion when properly spec’d, and handles wind better than most materials. We install standing seam metal roofs throughout Aptos, from Seacliff beachfronts where salt air kills fasteners to hillside homes where fire-resistant roofing matters more every year. Metal roof installation in Aptos runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on square footage, profile, and whether we’re tearing off the old roof.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing is everywhere in Aptos, and a lot of it is original to the home. Barrel tile in particular shows up on custom builds in the hills and Spanish-style homes along the flats. Tile roof repair in Aptos typically costs $600-$2,500. The key with tile is matching the existing profile and color. We do that without guessing. Cracked barrel tile from wind-blown debris is something we replace regularly, and we keep local inventory matched to Aptos’s common tile styles.

We also handle gutters, downspouts, and leaf protection systems. If you’re already re-roofing, it’s the right time to look at drainage. On a hillside lot above the Village, a gutter that dumps water at the foundation is a problem waiting for a winter. Our Roofing team can scope the roof and drainage together so you’re not paying for two mobilizations.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aptos

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and we service them across the brands homeowners in Aptos already have. When you work with us, every material that touches your roof has a name you can look up: Simonton windows, Ply Gem components, PGT impact-rated products, and CGI for coastal-rated openings. No mystery brands off a van. If you’re re-roofing and also want to address the windows that face the ocean, we can coordinate that with our Windows & Doors in Aptos team so everything matches in one clean project.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Aptos Homes

• Salt-air corrosion on flashing and fasteners. Homes at Seacliff and Rio Del Mar sit in fog most mornings, and that fog carries salt. Galvanized flashing that would last 30 years in Scotts Valley can fail in 15 here. We use corrosion-resistant materials that hold up to the marine layer.
• Leaks around valleys and skylights on older beach cottages. The original 1950s and 60s builds along the coast weren’t designed for modern moisture loads. We frequently find leak paths where roof lines converge, especially after consecutive wet winters.
• Loose or cracked tiles from wind-blown debris. Late-season storms bring branches down on tile roofs throughout 95003. One cracked barrel tile can let water into the underlayment for months before you see the ceiling stain. We inspect the whole field, not just the obvious break.
• Poor drainage on hillside lots. Homes above Aptos Village and in the Aptos Hills get real runoff during winter rains. Drainage that was barely adequate twenty years ago now causes gutter overflow and foundation splash. Roofing should work with grading, and we look at both.
