AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Dallas
Roof repair in Dallas typically runs $400-$1,800, while a full roof replacement lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and material. Most roof repairs we handle across Dallas are done in a single visit, and we stock common flashing, underlayment, and shingle colors locally so you’re not waiting on a warehouse in another county. If you’re staring at a stain on the ceiling or shingles in the yard, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will walk you through what you’re looking at.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Dallas’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve been called out to Dallas homes enough times to know the difference between a roof that’s failing and a roof that’s fighting the soil underneath it. That’s not something a phone-quote outfit can see from an office park in another state. Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and the crew members who show up carry the Barrett name on their shirts and on their work. When a customer in Lakewood or Preston Hollow calls about a leak, the person answering is a real person who knows the streets, not a call center.
Our Dallas customers tend to mention two things when they refer us: the written change orders and the fact that we pull permits without being asked. The permit inspector works for you, not for me – that’s why I like him. If a roof replacement uncovers rotten decking or missing hurricane ties, you’ll see the price adjustment in writing before we touch it. That’s not a policy buried in a contract. It’s just how Tom runs the company.
Every job we finish in Dallas is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. No forms, no “we’ll have someone call you in 5-7 business days.” Just a straight answer and a fixed roof.
Our Roofing Services in Dallas
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Dallas is rarely just about missing shingles. The expansive clay under most Dallas neighborhoods moves seasonally, and that movement travels up through fascia boards and flashing. We regularly re-seal and re-flash chimney crickets, parapet walls, and roof-to-wall transitions that have pulled apart because the house is slowly breathing with the soil. A repair that doesn’t account for that movement will fail again next cycle.
Our Roofing team starts every repair with a walkaround that includes the roof surface, the flashing, and the surrounding fascia and gutter lines. If a repair uncovers deeper decking damage, you get a written change order before we proceed. No surprises at the end of the job.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Dallas runs $8,000-$20,000, and the range moves based on material, roof pitch, decking condition, and access. Older homes in 75208 and 75203 often have original decking that doesn’t meet current nailing patterns, and once the old shingles come off, the inspector will flag it. We budget for that up front and walk you through line items before we start pulling shingles.
We install GAF shingle systems because they’re a brand you can look up, not a mystery product off a van. The GAF warranty is tied to the installed system, which matters when a future buyer asks who put the roof on and whether it was done by the book.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing handles Dallas’s hail and wind better than most materials, and more homeowners in Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands are asking about it. Metal roof installation typically runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on seam profile, gauge, and roofline complexity. The payback is in decades, not years, and the roof usually outlasts the current owner.
We work with GAF metal systems and other premium manufacturers. The key with metal on a Dallas roof is proper expansion detailing. A metal panel that’s locked down too tight will oil-can in the first summer heat wave. We cut and fasten to the manufacturer’s thermal movement spec, which matters on a roof that bakes at 100°F plus for weeks on end.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs are still common on Spanish and Mediterranean styles in Kessler Park and surrounding neighborhoods, and they fail in predictable ways. Cracked tiles, broken underlayment, and flashing that separated from the parapet are the big three. Tile roof repair in Dallas runs $600-$2,500 depending on the number of tiles and the condition of the underlayment below.
The honest answer on tile: if the underlayment is shot, patching individual tiles just buys you time. We’ll show you photos from the roof, not from a drone, so you can see what we’re seeing and decide with actual information.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Flashing separated by soil movement. Dallas sits on black gumbo clay that swells and shrinks inches across the seasons. That movement pulls roof flashing away from parapets, chimney crickets, and wall intersections. We see gaps in Oak Cliff and Kessler Park that no fastener alone will fix – the repair has to include proper expansion detailing.
- Post-tensioned cable strikes during roof equipment anchoring. Dallas’s dominant slab type contains high-tension steel cables under enormous stress. If a crew anchors a roof-mounted HVAC curb or satellite mount into the slab without x-raying first, they can nick a cable. That’s catastrophic. We locate and mark cables before any saw-cutting or drilling, and we’ve seen the aftermath when other crews skipped that step.
- Hail and wind damage on aging shingles. Dallas delivers rain in feast-or-famine patterns, and the spring storm season is brutal. A roof with granule loss and brittle shingles takes hits hard. The damage isn’t always obvious from the ground, which is why we walk the roof, not just the driveway.
- Code-triggered upgrades on simple replacements. Open a roof on a 1940s Dallas bungalow and you may find missing hurricane ties, undersized decking, or improper underlayment the current code won’t allow us to leave in place. That’s a cost, but it’s a cost that exists whether your next buyer’s inspector finds it now or later. We write it up before we touch it, with a number you can hold us to.

FAQs - Roofing in Dallas
Dallas’s black gumbo clay swells and shrinks enough to pull roof flashing away from parapets, chimney crickets, and wall intersections, and it also shifts fascia boards enough to detach built-in gutters. That means a roof repair in Dallas can’t just nail flashing back down – it usually needs re-flashing with expansion joints and resealing at the transitions. On a 1940s bungalow in Kessler Park, our crew detached a sagging built-in gutter that had pulled 1.5 inches from the fascia because the pier-and-beam foundation had shifted on the clay. We re-flashed the eave, added expansion joints, and reset the gutter with new hidden hangers before the next storm. If it’s not done with movement in mind, it fails again. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your roof.
Because once the old roofing comes off, the permit inspector is looking at the framing underneath, and Dallas homes – especially those built before modern code – often don’t meet current nailing patterns or hurricane tie requirements. The inspector works for you, not for me, so the framing upgrades are there to protect your house, not to pad the bill. That also means a “simple” roof replacement in Dallas can become a roof replacement plus a few thousand in code corrections. We budget for that in writing before the shingles come off, and any scope change comes as a written change order before we touch it. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with the full picture.
We don’t cut into a post-tensioned slab until we know exactly where the high-tension cables are. That means scanning and marking before any saw-cutting or drilling. Cutting a post-tensioned cable is catastrophic – it can snap with enough force to injure or kill the person holding the saw. Dallas’s default slab system is post-tensioned, which means this isn’t a “what if” for a Roofing team here – it’s every job involving a roof-mounted curb, pipe support, or anchor. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact approach on your roof, and we’ll show you the marked-up slab before anything gets cut.
First, keep people out of the attic until the roof is evaluated – exposed decking can collapse further or hide a live electrical hazard. Second, call us to get a tarp on the opening fast, because Dallas’s next storm doesn’t wait. Then we’ll do a full assessment and write up the repair scope with dollar figures so you know what you’re signing before work starts. Emergency and storm damage calls are handled directly, not through a call center. Call (877) 610-1318 now.
It depends on the underlayment, not just the tiles. If the underlayment is still sound, patching individual tiles at $600-$2,500 makes sense. If the underlayment has aged out, then patching tiles only delays the real fix – the roof will leak again when the next storm overloads the old material. We’ll show you photos and explain the difference in plain language, then you decide. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
