Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Artesia’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve been working on homes in Artesia long enough to know what’s under the shingles before we lift them. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we quote a roof in Artesia, the person who signs the contract is the same person who shows up on site.
Our local reputation here is built on written pricing and zero surprises. Homeowners in Artesia have told us more than once that a previous company quoted one price over the phone and handed them a different bill at the end. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise is printed on the contract, not tucked in a drawer.
We also answer our own phone, 24/7. When you call (877) 610-1318 at 2 a.m. because water is coming through the ceiling, you’re talking to a person, not a voicemail box.
Our Roofing Services in Artesia
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Artesia usually runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what we find once we open it up. The most common repair we handle here is corroded galvanized plumbing vent flashings that leak during coastal rain and stain ceilings. We fix the flashing, check the deck beneath, and confirm the attic is dry before we close things up.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Artesia runs $8,000 to $20,000. On 1950s flat-ceilinged tract homes, that often means more than just stripping and re-shingling. We routinely find undersized original framing that fails current wind-load requirements once we pull the old roof off. We handle the structural reinforcement, pull the permit, and get the inspection signed before the new roof goes on.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Artesia runs $15,000 to $40,000. Our most requested option is a standing seam metal roof, which holds up well against the moisture transfer these slab-built homes are known for. On a 1956 ranch near Pioneer Boulevard, we opened a roof for a full replacement and found the original 1×4 skip sheathing had wicked moisture from the slab through the walls, leaving the plywood deck delaminated at the eaves. We pulled permits, replaced the damaged decking, added edge flashing to break the capillary path, and installed a standing seam metal roof. The inspection sign-off confirmed the attic was dry before we closed it up.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Artesia runs $600 to $2,500 for typical barrel tile work. Many homes here were originally built with shake or shingle roofs, and switching to tile requires load-bearing reinforcement on 1950s framing. We inspect the structure first, put any required reinforcement in writing, and only then proceed with the tile install.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Artesia Homes
- Slab moisture rising through wall cavities and condensing on the underside of roof sheathing, causing rot at eaves on 1950s and 1960s flat-ceilinged homes. This is the single biggest hidden issue we find in Artesia and the reason a simple reshingle sometimes becomes a deck replacement.
- Undersized original roof framing that fails modern wind-load requirements when adding tile or multiple shingle layers. The 1950s post-WWII tract homes here were never framed for today’s code, and a reroof permit triggers load-bearing reinforcement.
- Corroded galvanized plumbing vent flashings that leak during Artesia’s occasional heavy coastal rain, staining ceilings and encouraging mold in uninsulated attics. We replace these with modern materials every time we see them, even if they aren’t the current leak.
- Roof-to-wall transitions on room additions and ADUs, where an older roof meets a newer one and the flashing was never done right. Artesia’s fully built-out housing stock means additions and garage conversions are constant, and the seams between old and new are where water finds a path.

FAQs - Roofing in Artesia
The most common hidden problem is slab moisture wicking through wall cavities and rotting the roof deck at the eaves, which adds $3,000 to $8,000 depending on how much decking must be replaced. You should also expect undersized original framing that needs reinforcement to meet current wind-load code before any reroof permit issues. We inspect the attic and deck before we quote, and any of these findings go into the written estimate so you know the full number up front. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific house is likely to turn up.
Artesia sits directly over the historical artesian well basin that gave the city its name, and the high water table pushes moisture up through slab foundations, into walls, and eventually to the underside of roof sheathing. Cerritos and Norwalk have different underlying geology, so they don’t see this same pattern. In Artesia, the moisture condenses on the underside of the deck, rots the wood, and creates leak paths that don’t exist in drier attics. That’s why we inspect for this specifically on every Artesia roof we touch.
Yes, but the structure must be checked first. 1950s tract framing in Artesia was designed for lightweight shake or shingle, and adding tile or multiple layers triggers modern wind-load requirements that the original framing often fails. We handle the reinforcement, pull the permit, and then install the tile or standing seam metal roof. Metal roofs in Artesia run $15,000 to $40,000 and tile repair runs $600 to $2,500. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule the structural inspection first.
Anything we find gets written up as a change order with the exact cost before we proceed, and you approve it in writing before a nail moves. We don’t open a roof and then hand you a surprise bill. If a kitchen remodel in Artesia uncovers rotted roof decking above the ceiling that wasn’t in the original scope, we stop, document the problem with photos, price the repair, and wait for your signature. This is how we’ve worked since 1998, and it’s written into every contract.
Yes, and it’s practical knowledge we’ve built over years of working with Artesia’s multi-generational households. Artesia Home Additions & ADU projects change ventilation requirements, and roof penetrations for those extra exhaust fans and plumbing vents must meet LA County code. Many homes along the Pioneer Boulevard corridor have extended-family configurations that required permitting for secondary cooking spaces, and the roof above them is part of that permit. We know what the inspector will look for because we’ve done it here many times, and we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job.
