Tom Barrett and his sons have been working on these 1950s-1970s brick ranch homes-and on driveway & pavers in Forest Hill-long enough to know what’s under the shingles before we lift the first one. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your roof with you.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Forest Hill’s Preferred Roofing Company

We’re the Roofing crew that answers the phone. Not a call center, not a voicemail box that gets checked Tuesday. Tom’s name is on the truck and the license number is published right where you can look it up. Forest Hill homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they got a quote from a company that showed up with a different number and a crew nobody recognized. We don’t run that game. The price on your estimate is the price on the contract, and if anything changes, you get a written change order before a nail moves.

We’ve pulled permits through Forest Hill’s own city hall, not Fort Worth’s. That’s a distinction that catches plenty of contractors off guard, and it’s your job site that pays for the delay. We know the difference, we schedule inspections here regularly, and we’ve stood next to Forest Hill inspectors on roofs off Wichita Street and around the neighborhoods near Forest Hill Drive. You’ll get the same two or three faces from start to finish. That’s how an owner-operated company runs.

Our Roofing Services in Forest Hill

Roof Repair

Roof repair in Forest Hill ranges from $400 to $1,800 for most jobs. What drives that spread is what we find after the shingles come up. On these older brick ranches, a small leak near a valley often traces back to decking that’s been wet for years. The Blackland Prairie clay under the slab doesn’t help either. When the ground heaves after a wet spring, the framing flexes and old roof penetrations open up. We fix the leak, not just the stain on the ceiling.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in Forest Hill runs $8,000 to $20,000. The range depends on square footage, pitch, how many layers need to come off, and what kind of decking repair the old roof is hiding. Many of these 1960s homes still have their original decking, and after 50 or 60 Texas summers, some of it doesn’t survive the tear-off. We write every allowance down before we start, so you know where the money goes. GAF and CertainTeed are what we install most often here.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation in Forest Hill starts around $15,000 and can run to $40,000 depending on profile and complexity. Standing seam metal is a smart answer for North Texas hail, and we’ve put it on more than a few ranch homes here that were tired of paying the insurance deductible every spring. Metal handles the sun and the storms, and it doesn’t curl or cup the way three-tab does after twenty years of 100-degree afternoons off 76119.

Tile Roofing

Most tile roofing in Forest Hill is repair work: $600 to $2,500 for cracked or slipped barrel tiles, broken underlayment, or flashing issues. We also replace full tile roofs when the structure calls for it. Tile is heavy, and some of these older Forest Hill homes need the framing checked before a new tile roof goes on. We’ll tell you straight if your decking and rafters can carry the load. That’s the conversation you should be having with any roofer on a tile job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Forest Hill

We stock and service premium roofing brands you can look up yourself: GAF and CertainTeed are what we put on most Forest Hill roofs. We’ve also worked with Simonton and Ply Gem on the window and door side of our business, so when a roof job turns into a window replacement around the dormer or the gable, we’re already the right crew. We keep common flashing, vent boots, and sealants in our local stock, which means a small repair on a Forest Hill ranch doesn’t wait a week on parts. If you’re already looking at replacing windows while the roof is open, ask us about our Windows & Doors in Forest Hill work. We often bundle the two when a homeowner wants to knock out the whole exterior at once.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Forest Hill Homes

• Foundation movement cracking roof framing. The expansive clay under Forest Hill shrinks in drought and swells after rain. When the slab moves, the load path moves, and we see ridge lines that sag a half-inch over twenty feet, plus nail pops all along the field.
• Hail damage on aging three-tab shingles. North Texas storms hammer these 1960s ranch homes, and a lot of them still have their second or third layer of three-tab. Hail that wouldn’t dent a new architectural shingle can shred an old one. After a spring storm in 76119, we’re out here looking at granule loss and bruised mats.
• Deferred maintenance around penetrations. Vent boots, pipe collars, and valley flashing from the original build are still on many Forest Hill homes. Rubber gaskets crack after a decade in the Texas heat. We find leaks that started years ago and soaked into the decking before the ceiling showed a spot.
• Poor past repairs on cheap flips. Forest Hill’s working-class housing stock draws a fair share of renovation flips, and we’ve torn off roofs where the previous fix was a patch job over rotten decking. The permit inspector on your side is the only reason it gets caught. We pull the permit and the inspector looks at the same decking we do.
