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

Burlingame homeowners don’t hand out trust easily, and we’ve earned ours the slow way: showing up when we say, pulling every permit, and leaving a written change order on the table before a single price moves. Tom Barrett’s name, his address, and his license number are published and verifiable; look us up before you sign anything. We’re not dispatching strangers from a call center in another state. The crew members who carry our name are background-checked, uniformed, and led by Tom’s sons on most job sites in 94010 and 94011.

Our Burlingame customers know we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail box. And every job we finish, whether it’s a three-tab repair on a Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow or a full standing seam metal replacement up in Burlingame Hills, carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, Tom comes back. One call.

Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we like him.

Our Roofing Services in Burlingame

We handle the full range of Roofing work on the Peninsula, but these are the services Burlingame homeowners call us for most.

Roof Repair

Roof repair in Burlingame typically runs $400-$1,800. Most calls start as a small stain on the ceiling in the Easton Addition or a missing tile spotted from the street in Burlingame Hills. By the time we open it up, fog-driven rot has usually spread further than anyone expected. We diagnose first, write the repair scope with line-item pricing, and get your signature before we pull anything apart.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement on a Burlingame home runs $8,000-$20,000. The final number depends on square footage, pitch, tear-off depth, and whether we’re re-sheathing. On older 1920s-1940s flatland bungalows, we often find skip sheathing that needs a marine-grade plywood nailing base before new underlayment goes down. That’s not an upsell; it’s what keeps your new dimensional shingles from cupping under persistent summer fog.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation in Burlingame runs $15,000-$40,000. This is where we start with the FAA Part 77 conversation, because standing seam metal over old shake or tile adds height, and height near SFO’s approach corridors triggers federal airspace review. We’ll tell you upfront whether your El Camino Real or Broadway-area property needs a Form 7460-1 filing, and we won’t let it surprise you at permit time.

Tile Roofing

Burlingame’s Spanish Colonial Revival stock looks right with barrel tile, but swapping old tile for new barrel tile adds serious weight. On hillside parcels in Burlingame Hills with original concrete perimeter foundations, we verify the load path before we quote. Tile roof repair on the flatlands runs $600-$2,500 depending on how many tiles cracked and whether the underlayment is still intact.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burlingame

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems because they’re brands any Burlingame homeowner can look up and verify, not mystery products off a van. For driveway and paver work that often accompanies roof drainage upgrades on larger lots, we also work with Cambridge Pavers and Quikrete. We keep common Burlingame-spec materials moving through our Bay Area supply chain, which means less downtime waiting on backordered flashing or ridge caps when your roof is already opened up.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Burlingame Homes

• Fog-driven soffit and fascia rot on the flatlands. Burlingame’s bayshore position channels persistent summer fog into the Easton Addition and Burlingame Park historic districts. Unvented attic assemblies trap that saturated air, and rot starts in the soffits and fascia years before a leak shows up inside.
• Original skip sheathing under 1920s-1940s roofs. Many prewar bungalows were framed with gaps between boards. That was standard then, but it doesn’t meet current nailing standards for shingle warranties, and it means your new roof needs a plywood nailing base first.
• Weight increases on hillside foundations. In Burlingame Hills, mid-century ranch homes on sloped lots often sit on original concrete perimeter foundations without modern anchor bolts. Swapping old lightweight shake for heavy barrel tile without checking load-bearing capacity is how you end up with cracks in the stucco a year later.
• FAA Part 77 triggers on height-adding replacements. Any roof work near Broadway, the Bayfront, or along the El Camino Real corridor that adds height, whether it’s standing seam metal over old shake, dormers, or rooftop mechanical units, can require FAA Form 7460-1 obstruction evaluation. Neighboring San Mateo and San Carlos don’t face this layer. We file it when needed and factor the 45-plus day review clock into the schedule before we start.
