AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Fabens
If you’re searching for roofing in Fabens, you’re probably dealing with a leak that showed up after the last monsoon, or you know your shingles are past retirement age and you don’t want another storm to prove it. Around here, roofs take a beating from the Chihuahuan Desert sun and the spring winds that scour everything in their path. We answer our own phone, we show up when we say we will, and we’ve spent 29 years learning what keeps Fabens homes dry. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fabens’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still puts his name on the truck. That’s the whole point. When you hire us for Roofing in Fabens, the person who shakes your hand is the person who answers when something needs attention later. Not a franchise dispatcher. Not a call center. Tom and his sons run the crews, and Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number so you can look it up before you sign anything.
Fabens homeowners have dealt with plenty of contractors who quote a number on the phone and hand over a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before any work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s our rule, and it’s been our rule since day one.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Fabens, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the company that backs the work with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. We also answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because roof problems don’t wait for business hours.
Our Roofing Services in Fabens
Roof Repair
Most Fabens roof repairs fall in the $400-$1,800 range, depending on whether we’re replacing a handful of shingles or rebuilding flashing around a chimney. We see a lot of wind-lifted shingles out here, especially after spring blows sand and grit under the edges. We also see nail pops from the extreme temperature swings between summer afternoons and desert nights. If you’ve got a leak, call us before the next rain finds it.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Fabens typically runs $8,000-$20,000. The spread depends on square footage, pitch, how many layers of old roofing need to come off, and whether the decking underneath is still sound. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because the last contractor most people used told them permits were optional. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs handle the Fabens sun better than almost anything else, which is why we install so many of them in 79838. A standing seam metal roof runs $15,000-$40,000, and it’s a smart choice when you’re tired of replacing shingles every dozen years. The spring winds don’t grab metal panels the way they grab shingles, and the reflective surface keeps your attic cooler through those 105°F afternoons. We install GAF and CertainTeed products across the rest of our roofing work, and we’ll walk you through the metal options that hold up out here.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Fabens generally runs $600-$2,500, depending on how many tiles cracked and whether the underlayment underneath has been compromised. We see barrel tile and flat concrete tile on a lot of mid-century homes closer to the old town core. Tile cracks happen when the sun bakes the surface and a good freeze follows, or when a strong monsoon wind drops a mesquite branch where it shouldn’t go. We stock common tile profiles locally so we’re not waiting on a special order while your leak gets worse.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fabens
We install brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. On roofs, that means GAF and CertainTeed. If you’re also working on Driveway & Pavers in Fabens or a patio, we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc products. If we’re replacing windows while the roof work happens, Andersen and Marvin. The point is, when Tom puts his name next to a material, it’s a material with a reputation you can verify. For Fabens homeowners, that also means we can get warranty-backed replacement components without waiting weeks for a distributor in some other state.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Fabens Homes
- Wind-scoured shingles along the edges. Spring winds in the Fabens flats don’t just blow sand; they lift shingle edges and work grit underneath. Once the adhesive strip fails, the next good gust peels the shingle right off.
- Fastener pops from thermal cycling. Roof surfaces out here swing 60 degrees or more between a summer afternoon and the following night. Nails work loose over a few years, and loose nails mean lifted shingles and water entry points.
- Flashing failures around chimneys and swamp cooler mounts. Older Fabens homes often have swamp coolers or chimney penetrations that were flashed decades ago with materials that have since cracked. Water follows the crack and spreads across the ceiling before you ever see a stain.
- Decking rot near the acequia-fed side of a home. In parts of Fabens close to the irrigation laterals, subsurface moisture rises through walls and can rot roof decking from below. It’s a problem most upland El Paso roofs never see, but it’s common enough out here.

Those are honest ranges, and they’re consistent with what we quote across the 79838 area.

FAQs - Roofing in Fabens
We typically reach most Fabens homes the same day you call, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day. If the leak is active, we can tarp the damaged area to stop water entry, then schedule the permanent repair. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person picks up, not a voicemail box.
Yes. We work throughout Fabens, including ZIP code 79838 and the older colonia-style homes that make up a large share of the housing stock. Those homes often have roof structures that were added to incrementally over the years, and we’re used to bringing things up to current El Paso County code before new roofing goes on. We also handle Fabens Home Additions & ADU projects when homeowners need more space.
Yes. When a monsoon or wind event tears off shingles or drops a limb on your roof, call us right away. We’ll get out to Fabens, assess the damage, and put a temporary cover in place if needed. Storm damage repair pricing falls within the same $400-$1,800 repair range depending on what was lost.
Not much. The biggest difference out here is access and the condition of what we find underneath the old roof. Some Fabens homes need extra structural work before new roofing can go on, which can push a replacement toward the upper end of the $8,000-$20,000 range. We’ll tell you exactly what we found and put it in writing.
Every roof we install is backed by the manufacturer’s warranty on materials and our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, you call once, and Tom comes back. We also pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, so the work is verified by the county, not just by us. For an exact quote on your Fabens roof, call (877) 610-1318. Estimates are free.
