Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Corpus Christi’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That matters in Corpus Christi, where a storm can move in overnight and you need to know who’s coming before the next band of rain. We serve homeowners all across the city, from the older neighborhoods near Alameda Street to the newer subdivisions north of Saratoga Boulevard.
We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number. We pull permits on every eligible job because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. And every scope change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Homeowners who have been burned by national companies often tell us the difference is clear in the first phone call. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Our Roofing Services in Corpus Christi
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Corpus Christi usually runs $400-$1,800, and common repairs here include wind-lifted shingles, corroded flashing around vents and chimneys, and leaks around skylight curbs. After a strong southeast wind off the bay, we see plenty of homes with shingles peeled back along the rake edges. We fix the problem and tell you honestly if the roof has another five years or if you’re better off planning a replacement.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Corpus Christi runs $8,000-$20,000, and the final number depends on your roof’s pitch, tear-off layers, and what the WPI-8 inspection requires. Most homeowners in this city want a system that meets current TWIA windstorm standards, so we specify accordingly from the first quote. We remove old material, repair any decking that’s gone soft, and install the new system with fasteners rated for salt exposure.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Corpus Christi generally runs $15,000-$40,000, but for homes in the direct wind zone near Corpus Christi Bay, it’s often the most durable option available. Standing seam metal resists wind uplift better than almost any shingle system, and it doesn’t absorb moisture the way concrete tile can. We install standing seam with concealed fasteners where possible, which keeps the salt air away from the connection points that fail first.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Corpus Christi runs $600-$2,500, and barrel tile is common in some of the older, Spanish-style homes in neighborhoods off Ocean Drive. Clay and concrete tiles are heavy, so we check the framing before we replace them. Salt air is tough on tile underlayment, which means many tile roofs in Corpus Christi need new felt or synthetic underlayment long before the tiles themselves wear out.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Corpus Christi Homes
Homes in Corpus Christi face a few problems that rarely show up 200 miles inland. Here’s what we see most often on local roofs:
- Wind-lifted shingles - After any organized tropical system or strong front, shingles along the windward slopes can lift and break their seal. Once that seal is broken, the next storm peels more on each pass.
- Salt-air corrosion on flashing - Flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights takes constant salt spray from the Gulf. Standard galvanized flashing that lasts decades in San Antonio can rust through here in years, and when it fails, water follows.
- Aging built-up roofs on older homes - The post-war concrete block homes in 78404, 78405, and surrounding ZIP codes often still carry their original low-slope built-up roofs. Those systems are way past their design life, and patching them repeatedly often costs more than a proper replacement.
- WPI-8 inspection failures - When a remodel or addition touches the roof structure, the work has to pass a WPI-8 windstorm inspection. Contractors unfamiliar with TWIA requirements routinely leave homeowners with a failed inspection and no windstorm insurance until it’s corrected.
