Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cypress’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Cypress. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and Tom himself is on-site for most jobs in the 90630. If something isn’t right after we finish, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on your contract, not buried in fine print: one call brings Tom back to make it right. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number because the last contractor most Cypress homeowners used told them permits were optional.
Our crews know what’s under these roofs. A house built in 1965 in Cypress doesn’t roof like a house built in 2005 in Tomball. That difference is why local knowledge matters, and why the estimate we write for your neighbor’s house will not look copy-pasted from a template. Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him.
Our Roofing Services in Cypress
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most houses we replace roofs on in Cypress are original 1960s or 1970s stucco tract homes. The shingles may be on their second cycle, and the original plywood sheathing beneath is often the weak point. We inspect it during tear-off and write a change order before any new underlayment goes down, so you never get a surprise invoice at the end. We install GAF shingles because the Cypress heat and seasonal humidity cycling demands a material we can stand behind for decades, and we back every complete replacement with the written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Roof Leak Repair
Roof leaks at the stucco wall junctions are a Cypress signature problem. Clay soil movement racks the wall framing over decades, and hairline cracks open at the roof-to-wall flashing, letting moisture in behind the stucco veneer. We find the true entry point, not just the water stain on the ceiling. Typical leak repairs in Cypress run $400 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re addressing flashing, a rotted section of deck, or a failed pipe boot.
Metal Roofing
A standing seam metal roof is an increasingly common choice on Cypress homes, especially for early-1960s single-story ranchers with low slopes. Metal sheds the occasional coastal-influence rain season well and handles the dry heat without curling the way old asphalt does. Metal roof installation in Cypress runs $15,000 to $40,000, and the number one reason that range is broad is the condition of the original deck below. A house with solid sheathing is a straightforward job. A 1962 house with condensation-damaged plywood is a different animal entirely.
Tile Roofing
The original tile roofs in Cypress’s older tract developments are now 50 to 60 years old. Barrel tile, in particular, holds up remarkably well in the mild Orange County climate, but the underlayment beneath the tile ages out long before the tile itself. Tile roof repair in Cypress runs $600 to $2,500, and full tile reroofs with new underlayment are priced as full replacements. If we find broken or slipped tiles on a 1960s home, we always check what the roof deck looks like underneath before we give you the final number.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cypress
We install GAF shingles and CertainTeed roofing materials on Cypress homes, because they’re brands you can look up, not mystery products off a van. When we install a roof in Cypress, we keep common replacement parts and accessories for these brands on our truck or in storage nearby, so we’re not waiting on a distributor when the tear-off reveals something unexpected. You can walk into any supply house and verify exactly what we bid. That’s the point.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Cypress Homes
- Rotted original plywood sheathing. In Cypress’s 1960s tract inventory, the original roof deck was often installed with minimal attic ventilation. Decades of condensation soak the plywood from below, and by the time the second shingle layer reaches end of life, the deck is spongy and needs replacement. We discover this only during tear-off, and we write it as a change order before new materials go down.
- Late-1990s re-roofs reaching failure. Many Cypress homes were re-roofed in the late 1990s, often over the original shingles. That second layer is now curling, granule-bald, or leaking at the ridges. When we strip those layers, we almost always find the original 1960s sheathing has absorbed decades of trapped moisture.
- Stucco wall junction leaks. Seasonal clay soil movement in Cypress racks door frames and walls out of square over the decades. Hairline cracks open at the roof-to-wall flashing, and rain follows those cracks behind the stucco. The leak shows up on the ceiling far from the actual entry point.
- Poor attic ventilation. The original attic ventilation in many Cypress tract homes is a single gable vent or a few small static vents. In the near-coastal humidity swings, warm moist air condenses on the roof deck’s underside. The fix is often a ridge vent plus soffit intake, done as part of a reroof, before the new deck rots the same way.

FAQs - Roofing in Cypress
Most Cypress tract homes built between 1955 and 1980 still carry their original plywood roof deck, which absorbed decades of condensation from inadequate attic ventilation. On a 1960s stucco tract home in the 90630 zip, we lifted the old dimensional shingles and found the original plywood sheathing spongy from exactly that trapped moisture. Our crew wrote a change order for full sheathing replacement before the new underlayment and shingles went down, and we passed the sheathing nailing inspection before closing the roof up. When you get a reroof estimate on a Cypress home from the 1960s or early 1970s, assume the deck is suspect until proven otherwise. Call (877) 610-1318 for an honest inspection and a written scope.
Yes. A roof replacement in Cypress requires a building permit, and our crews pull the permit and pass the inspection on every eligible job. We don’t skip it to save a few hundred dollars and leave you with a liability problem when you sell. The permit inspector works for you, and a signed inspection is your proof the job was done to code. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask about the permit process; we’ll walk you through it before you sign anything.
No. Cypress’s slab-on-grade construction means any garage conversion or ADU addition triggers structural questions about the existing roof framing before a single wall goes up. Many of these early-1960s garage roofs were built to carry shingles, not the pointed loads of a converted living space. We inspect the roof structure, the slab, and the existing walls before we quote you a scope. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what a garage conversion in Cypress actually requires.
Clay soil movement is the culprit. Cypress sits on flat alluvial ground where the soil expands in wet seasons and contracts in dry ones, and that seasonal cycling pushes and pulls at the foundation and wall framing. After 50 years, walls are racked slightly out of square, and hairline cracks open at the roof-to-wall flashing. Rain finds those cracks, and the leak travels down inside the wall before it shows up on your ceiling. A proper fix addresses the flashing, the deck behind it, and often the cracked stucco at the junction. We see it constantly in the 1960s stucco tract homes of the 90630. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll trace the actual entry point.
For many Cypress homeowners, yes. A standing seam metal roof on a low-slope 1960s rancher handles the seasonal humidity cycling better than the second or third asphalt layer ever did, and it lasts far longer. The catch is the deck. If you have original 1960s plywood that’s been absorbing condensation for decades, we still have to replace it before a metal roof goes on. That’s the difference between a $15,000 metal roof and a $25,000 one. We’ll tell you the truth about the deck, in writing, before you commit. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
