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

Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998. That means the name on the estimate matches the name on the truck, and the crew leads are Tom’s own sons, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Davis homeowners tell us the same thing: they’d rather pay once for a roof with a documented wind rating and a signed final inspection than find out two years later their “bargain” reroof never cleared plan-check. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Ask anyone on your street, or look the license up yourself.

We answer the phone in person, 24 hours a day. When a Davis homeowner calls with a roof leak over a bedroom in North Davis or a dislodged ridge vent after a spring wind event, a person answers, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. It’s a small thing until you need it at 6 a.m. with water coming through the ceiling. Crews are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the Barrett & Sons name every time they knock on a door in Davis.

Every scope item, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. If a deck is rotten under the shingles and the scope grows, you’ll see the exact number on paper before the next nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we like it that way.

Our Roofing Services in Davis

Roof Repair

Most roof repair calls in Davis start with two things: a cracked tile from a windstorm off the Yolo Bypass, or a composition shingle roof from the 1970s that has finally given up at a valley seam. We don’t patch over rot. We open the affected section, assess the deck, and show you what we found before we close it. A small leak at a pipe boot is one thing; a rotted eave over a West Davis ranch where the fascia has pulled is another.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full reroof in Davis means tearing down to the deck, replacing any damaged sheathing, and installing a system that clears the city’s green-building plan-check. We spec Class A fire-rated asphalt from GAF, install synthetic underlayment, and verify the wind-uplift rating matches what Davis plan-check asks for before inspection day. The result is a roof you can hand to your insurer with documentation, not an argument.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofing is growing fast in Davis, especially on Village Homes properties and newer infill builds where owners want surface that reflects Valley heat instead of absorbing it. A full standing seam install in Davis typically runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on gauge, profile, and the complexity of the roof geometry. The metal itself isn’t the variable; it’s the detailing around clerestories, bermed walls, and drainage swales that drives real cost.

Tile Roofing

Barrel tile and flat-laid concrete tile are common across older Davis neighborhoods, particularly around the 1950s and 1960s ranch stock near Central Davis. Tile lasts decades, but the underlayment beneath it doesn’t, and broken tiles let water sit against that underlayment for years before the ceiling stain appears. Tile roof repair in Davis typically runs $600 to $2,500, though full underlayment replacement can push into the replacement range.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Davis Homes

• Adobe clay shrink-swell and fascia pull-away. Davis sits on Yolo County’s heavy adobe clay, which swells with winter rains and shrinks hard in the 100°F summer dry season. That movement cracks slabs, shifts footings, and gradually pulls fascia boards away from roof edges, which opens the eave line to water and pests.
• Low wind-rated shingles on irregular roof geometry. Homes in Village Homes don’t sit on standard rectangular lots, so roofs don’t conform to simple rack lines. A shingle rated for lower uplift fails on a south-facing clerestory or a windward bermed wall, and the inspector is right to flag it.
• Skylight and pipe-boot leaks on aging composition roofs. The 1960s and 1970s ranch stock across Davis has hit the end of its original roof’s service life. If the roof was never reflashed at the penetrations, winter rain finds those seams first and drips onto the insulation before you ever see a stain.
• Missing green-building documentation from previous work. We often get called in after a homeowner’s insurance claim stalls because the prior contractor never filed the energy documentation Davis requires. The roof exists, but the paper trail doesn’t, and the insurer wants what the city wants: proof.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davis

We install GAF shingle systems on the majority of reroofs in Davis, and find that most homeowners value the wind rating documentation GAF provides when it’s time to file an insurance claim. We also work regularly with CertainTeed product lines for composition, and recommend them most when a Davis homeowner wants a specific color or profile match on an older home. We hold local stock for the most common replacement parts, which shortens turnaround when a repair is small and the weather is not. You won’t wait a week on a ridge cap because someone had to order it from across the country.

What Davis Plan-Check Actually Requires on a Roof

Davis is home to Village Homes, the 1970s passive-solar subdivision where original roof designs include south-facing clerestories and bermed walls. Those features complicate roof replacement because the non-standard lot and roof geometry require coordination with city planning and green-building plan-check that does not apply across the Yolo County line in Woodland.

On a standard Davis reroof, plan-check looks for a Class A fire-rated assembly and documented wind uplift of 110 MPH, minimum. That’s a California building code baseline, but in Davis the green-building ordinance layers an energy compliance requirement on top. Your permit won’t clear without the energy model and Title 24 documentation, even if the roof itself would pass a bare-minimum inspection elsewhere in the county.

Last fall we replaced a failing composition shingle roof on a 1960s slab-on-grade ranch in West Davis, where years of adobe clay shrink-swell had caused fascia pull-away and uneven eave lines. Our crew stripped to the subfloor, sistered and re-secured the truss tails, and installed a Class A fire-rated asphalt shingle system rated for 110 MPH wind uplift, the minimum Davis plan-check asks for, then walked the final with the city inspector for sign-off before the owner filed the claim with their insurer.

The cheap bid usually skips one of three things: the energy model, the uplift documentation, or the permit itself. Some contractors will tell you a reroof doesn’t need a permit in Davis. That is wrong, and it’s the kind of wrong you pay for twice when the city catches the permit or the insurer denies the claim for undocumented work. Our quotes include the permit, the plan-check coordination, and the signed final inspection. Every eligible job has them, in writing, before the first shingle comes off.
