Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fillmore’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number on every contract. Fillmore homeowners tend to appreciate that. A lot of our customers here have already been through the wringer with a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t play that game. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we pull permits on every eligible roofing job in Fillmore and get inspections signed.
When a Fillmore customer calls, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. And when Tom gives you a price, his sons and their crews are the ones doing the work. If something isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract: one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Roofing Services in Fillmore
Roof Repair
Fillmore’s Santa Ana winds are hard on roofs, especially along the open stretches north of Highway 126 where there’s nothing to slow a gust down. We regularly find shingles that were installed with four nails when six were required, or missing starter strips that let water creep under the first course at the eaves. Roof repair in Fillmore runs $400-$1,800 for most wind-damage fixes. We’ll show you photos of what’s failed and write up exactly what we’re replacing before we order materials.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full Roofing replacement in Fillmore isn’t just a tear-off and a new layer. Under California Building Code Chapter 7A, the Santa Clara River Valley’s exposure category means most asphalt shingle roofs here need a 110 mph wind-uplift rating. That changes the nailing pattern, the underlayment, and the drip edge details. We strip old layers, inspect the sheathing, and install systems rated for Fillmore’s real conditions. Asphalt shingle replacement on a typical 1,200 sq ft Fillmore home runs $8,000-$20,000, and that includes the permit and the signed inspection.
Metal Roofing
For Fillmore homes that sit in full sun along the valley floor, standing seam metal roofing makes honest sense. It shrugs off Santa Ana gusts better than almost anything else, and it doesn’t cook the way dark asphalt does in July when the temperature climbs past 95. Metal roof installation in Fillmore typically runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on panel gauge, seam profile, and roof complexity. We’ll walk you through the wind ratings on different panel systems so you’re comparing real numbers.
Tile Roof Repair
The clay-rich adobe soil under Fillmore shifts with every wet-dry cycle, and older tile roofs feel it. We see cracked tiles at valleys and hips on homes where the roof structure never had adequate bracing for that kind of movement. Tile roof repair here runs $600-$2,500 per 100 sq ft, including replacement battens and fasteners. On post-Northridge homes especially, it’s worth checking the framing before you spend money on tile that’ll crack again if the structure is moving underneath it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fillmore
We work with materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On Fillmore roofs we install a lot of Owens Corning Duration shingles, plus GAF and CertainTeed systems where the budget calls for it. For metal panels we stock fasteners and clips locally so we’re not waiting on a freight truck from Texas when a Fillmore customer needs a repair before the next Santa Ana. If you’ve got a warranty question on a Simonton or PGT product, we can usually answer it on the spot. We’d rather you know the brand name on your roof than guess at it.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Fillmore Homes
- Santa Ana wind damage at the eaves. Gusts channel down the Santa Clara River Valley and lift shingles that were installed with four nails instead of six, or without a proper starter strip. The first leak usually shows up as a water stain on the fascia board within a season or two.
- Cracked tile at valleys and hips from soil movement. Fillmore’s clay-rich adobe expands and shrinks with moisture, and that differential settlement transfers up through the walls into the roof structure. Older tile roofs without bracing crack at the exact same points year after year.
- Post-Northridge patched framing that hides uplift weakness. A lot of Fillmore homes got patched repairs after 1994, and the framing at the eaves is often a mix of old and new lumber that was never tied together properly. A cheap overlay hides that. It doesn’t fix it, and the shingles blow off again in the next wind event.
- Skip sheathing under old shingle roofs. Fillmore’s Craftsman-era bungalows near Central Avenue often still have original skip sheathing with gaps between boards. Modern shingle warranties don’t perform well over gaps, and that’s why we add OSB sheathing before installing new underlayment and shingles rated for Fillmore’s wind loads.

What moves a Fillmore roof from the low end to the high end? Roof pitch, the number of layers we’re stripping, whether the sheathing needs replacement, and whether the home sits in a floodplain zone that triggers extra review. A two-story roof near the Santa Clara River corridor costs more than a single-story ranch in the tract neighborhoods east of Central Avenue. We’ll give you a written line-item quote before anything starts, and if the scope changes, you’ll get a written change order first. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Roofing in Fillmore
Yes. Under California Building Code Chapter 7A, Fillmore’s location in the Santa Clara River Valley puts most residential roofs in a wind exposure category that requires asphalt shingles rated for 110 mph uplift. The inspector verifies compliance by checking the nailing pattern (typically six nails per shingle in Fillmore, not four), the starter strip installation, and the drip edge details before signing off. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you exactly what a compliant quote includes that a cheap one leaves out.
It can. Homes within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area near the river channel may trigger floodplain development review for any grading, fill, or structural changes associated with the roof work. Your roof replacement permit itself is typically not denied, but the city may require additional documentation if we’re altering the roof structure or adding equipment. We’ve handled these reviews before and we’ll walk the paperwork through for you. Call (877) 610-1318 if you know your home is in one of the flood zones.
The only way to know for certain is to get under the shingles and look at the framing and nailing pattern. We’ve worked on Fillmore homes where post-Northridge patching mixed old and new lumber at the eaves, and the old nailing pattern was still four nails per shingle. That won’t pass a current wind-uplift inspection. We’ll photograph what we find and give you a written scope for what’s needed to bring it up to code. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free assessment.
A compliant job gives you the signed permit and final inspection report, which document that the roof was installed to Fillmore’s current wind-uplift requirements. We also provide the manufacturer’s warranty registration and a written record of the materials used. When you file a wind-damage claim, that paperwork proves the roof wasn’t under-installed, which matters when the adjuster is looking for a reason to deny coverage. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your policy will need.
Usually, yes. Tile needs special attachment methods under Fillmore’s wind-uplift requirements, plus replacement battens and fasteners that asphalt shingles don’t require. Tile roof repair here runs $600-$2,500 per 100 sq ft, while a full asphalt replacement on a 1,200 sq ft home runs $8,000-$20,000. The tile roof will last longer if the structure is sound, but the upfront code-compliance cost is typically higher. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your home.
