We know Cameron Park because we work here constantly. The hills off Country Club Drive, the cul-de-sacs around Cambridge Road, the older ranches near the airport: we’ve torn off roofs on all of them. This is not a Sacramento crew guessing at foothill conditions. We plan for snow that turns to ice at 1,800 feet, summer heat that bakes three-tab shingles into brittle curls, and the El Dorado County building department’s wildfire codes that flatland roofers never have to think about.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cameron Park’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he’s been on Cameron Park roofs ever since. His name, address, and license number are published and verifiable; look them up before you sign anything. The crew that shows up at your door carries the Barrett name on the truck. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they’re on-site most days, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Cameron Park homeowners call us because we do not play phone-tag with a national call center. A live person answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call about a leak off Cambridge Road, the person who answers knows the terrain, the weather pattern, and the permit routes through Placerville. That matters when a storm just peeled back flashing and you need a tarp before sunset.
Every job ends with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something is not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right; one call, no arbitration, no fine print. We also give a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have. Bring us a competitor’s quote from a Folsom or Placerville outfit, and we will walk it line by line at your kitchen table.
Our Roofing Services in Cameron Park
We handle the full Roofing scope from emergency patches to full tear-offs on the steep lots this community is known for. Here is how we approach the big four in Cameron Park.
Roof Repair
Most repairs we do around Cameron Park involve freeze-thaw damage: cracked shingles, lifted flashing at valleys, deteriorated pipe boots. We inspect the area around the leak, map any rot under the deck, and give you a written scope before we start. Repairs here run $400 to $1,800 depending on whether we are replacing a few shingles or chasing rot along an eave.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Replacement in Cameron Park is never a simple shingle swap. Because nearly the entire ZIP sits in the county’s Wildland-Urban Interface zone, a tear-off almost always triggers California Building Code Chapter 7A: Class A ignition-resistant roofing, ember-resistant vents, and sometimes a defensible-space condition attached to the permit. We write those material requirements into the contract before demo, so the price you sign matches the roof the county will approve. Full replacements run $8,000 to $20,000 depending on pitch, deck condition, and the number of layers we pull off.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal has become the quiet default on Cameron Park hillsides, and for good reason. It shrugs off ember exposure that melts asphalt, handles the wind off the oak grassland better than most materials, and sheds snow cleanly. Installation runs $15,000 to $40,000 on most lots here. Metal also needs less freeze-thaw repair over a 40-year life than shake or shingle; something to weigh when you plan to stay in the house.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs look right on the split-levels off Green Valley Road, but the freeze-thaw cycles at 1,800 feet crack tiles faster than owners expect. We replace cracked tile, rebuild valleys, and fix the underlayment failures that let water behind the tile before you see a stain. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500 in Cameron Park, depending on how far the underlayment rot has spread.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cameron Park
We install and repair materials from names you can look up rather than mystery brands off a van. On roofs we carry GAF and CertainTeed asphalt lines, plus standing seam metal systems that meet Chapter 7A requirements without squeezing the budget. We keep common flashings, pipe boots, and valley metal in stock for Cameron Park projects, so a small repair off Durock Road does not wait on a truck from Sacramento. If you have Simonton skylights or PGT solar tubes already installed, we service those too; they fit the same deck openings we repair every week.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Cameron Park Homes
- Original wood shake over skip sheathing. The 1960s and 1970s split-levels off Country Club Drive and along the airport corridor often have cedar shake nailed to spaced boards. Freeze-thaw cycling cracks the shake, and embers from dry oak grassland find the gaps fast. The county will not grandfather these roofs through a significant remodel; plan for a full tear-off and deck replacement when the permit is pulled.
- Undersized roof penetrations around swamp coolers. Cameron Park’s master-planned era homes leaned on swamp coolers instead of central air. The roof penetrations were flashed poorly from day one, and 40 years of expansion and contraction have opened the seams. Water runs along the deck and rots the subfloor before it ever stains the ceiling.
- Deteriorated valley metal and missing kickout flashing. The sloped lots on Cameron Park’s west side catch wind-driven rain at eaves and sidewalls. When the little L-shaped kickout piece is missing, water pours behind the stucco and feeds dry rot that hides inside the wall cavity. A permit inspector catches this; a quick patch does not.
- Brittle three-tab shingles from the 1980s build-out. Summer heat at 1,500 feet bakes organic three-tab shingles into curled, cracking strips. They cup, they lift in the persistent summer wind, and they no longer shed water on the uphill side. This is the most common full-replacement trigger we see in Cameron Park.

What moves a Cameron Park quote is not the shingle. It is the deck. When we pull a 1970s shake roof off a split-level and find rotted fascia, undersized rafter tails, and skip sheathing that cannot carry a modern Class A assembly, those items get priced as a written change order before we touch them. You approve every dollar before it is spent. We also write allowances into the contract for conditions we can see coming: deck replacement, dry rot repair, WUI upgrades. An allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, line-item estimate in writing.

FAQs - Roofing in Cameron Park
No, a straightforward repair; replacing a few damaged shingles, resealing a pipe boot, swapping a cracked tile; does not trigger Chapter 7A. The code kicks in when the repair crosses the threshold into a re-roof or a replacement that requires a permit through El Dorado County. If we are tearing off more than about 50% of the roof surface or replacing the entire assembly, the county will require a Class A ignition-resistant covering and ember-resistant vents. We will tell you exactly where that line sits on your house before we write the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will walk the roof with you.
If the roof is original wood shake from the 1970s, plan on a full tear-off. Cameron Park’s freeze-thaw cycles have cracked most of that shake by now, and the skip sheathing underneath cannot support a modern overlay safely or legally once the county sees it. Overlays are allowed in narrow cases with three-tab shingles on solid decking, but with a shake roof over spaced boards you will end up tearing off anyway. We will verify during the free estimate, and the scope will say exactly what we found. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule it.
That line appears when the county attaches a defensible-space condition to the roofing permit. Cameron Park sits squarely in the Wildland-Urban Interface, and El Dorado County inspectors enforce vegetation clearance and access standards on parcels where the roof work crosses the Chapter 7A threshold. If we have to cut back oaks or grade a fire access path along the slope to get the final inspection signed, we will price it as a written change order before we start, never as a surprise at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 for the exact requirement on your lot.
It adds lead time, yes. Cameron Park is unincorporated, so every permit routes through El Dorado County’s building department in Placerville rather than a local city hall. Roofing permits typically take one to three weeks depending on the backlog, plus inspection scheduling. We pull permits on every eligible job and we build that timeline into the contract before you sign, so you know when the roof actually goes on. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will map out the schedule for your specific property.
Usually yes, because a standing seam roof on a one- or two-story split-level does not exceed the height where Cameron Park Airport’s Part 77 imaginary surfaces apply. The FAA review only comes into play when a structure; a crane, tall scaffolding, a tower; rises high enough to penetrate the approach surfaces near the runway ends. A typical roof replacement never gets close. If your lot is along the airport’s approach corridor and we need a crane for a steep pitch or a heavy tile tear-off, we will check the Part 77 surfaces before we schedule the crane. Call (877) 610-1318 for a site-specific answer.
What a Cameron Park Tear-Off Actually Costs When the Code Is on the Table
Here is the thing no generic roofing page tells you: the cost of a Cameron Park roof - like your Driveway & Pavers - Cameron Park project - is set by three forces that do not exist in Elk Grove or Roseville. First, Chapter 7A of the California Building Code applies to nearly every parcel in the 95682 ZIP, and Class A materials cost more than the builder-grade shingle a flatland roofer quotes over the phone. Second, freeze-thaw cycling at 1,500 to 2,000 feet means older decks have hidden rot that only reveals itself after the shingles come off. Third, if your lot sits along an FAA Part 77 approach corridor near Cameron Park Airport, tall scaffolding or a crane may need an obstruction evaluation before the work starts.
We do not hide any of these costs until demo day. Here is how we handle it: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it. On a 1970s split-level off Country Club Drive, our crew opened up a roof that had original wood shake over skip sheathing. The county permit triggered a Chapter 7A upgrade, and we wrote the allowance for full deck replacement and Class A asphalt shingles into the contract before demo. Then we priced the rotted fascia and undersized rafter tails as a change order in writing before we touched them, so the owner never saw a surprise on the draw schedule. That is how Roofing in Cameron Park should run.
