Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fresno’s Trusted Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise, and we don’t run crews from another state. Barrett & Sons is owner-operated, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s sons are on the roof with the crew. When you call our Fresno area number, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box. Not a call center. You’ll talk to someone who knows what a Fresno home goes through every August.
Our reputation in Fresno’s neighborhoods like the Tower District, Old Fig Garden, and the newer communities east of Highway 168 comes from doing what we said we’d do, on the paper we said we’d do it for. Every Roofing job we take in Fresno includes written change orders before any scope shift touches the project. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t hand out surprises.
We pull permits on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him. And every roof we install carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our Roofing Services in Fresno
Roof Replacement & Installation in Fresno
Most Fresno homeowners call us when their builder-grade shingles are curling, granule-bare, or leaking at the flashing. We tear off to the deck, inspect the sheathing, then install a system sized for this climate. That means ventilation rated for 110°F attic temperatures, underlayment that won’t crack when the fog rolls in, and a roof assembly that meets Climate Zone 13 cool-roof standards. Full replacement in Fresno typically runs $8,000-$20,000.
Metal Roofing in Fresno
Standing seam metal roofs are the smart long play in Fresno, especially for homeowners in the eastern growth corridor and the higher-heat zones around 93707 and 93727. Metal reflects heat instead of absorbing it, meets cool-roof requirements without coating tricks, and sheds Valley dust better than granular asphalt. Metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on system, gauge, and roof complexity. We’ve installed standing seam on everything from Clovis-adjacent ranches to mid-century McCardle-area homes.
Roof Repair in Fresno
Flashing failures, vent boot cracks, and wind-lifted shingles are the repairs we see most often across Fresno, from 93710 near Fresno State to the 93714 downtown core. The Tule fog season from December through February exposes weak seams fast. A repair in Fresno typically runs $400-$1,800. We don’t patch over rot or sister in a shingle and call it done. If the deck is soft, we tell you before we touch it.
Tile Roofing in Fresno
Barrel tile and concrete tile are common on Fresno’s older executive homes, especially in the Fig Garden and Huntington Boulevard areas. Tile does fine in heat, but the underlayment beneath it doesn’t. Most tile roof work in Fresno is underlayment replacement, broken tile spot repair, or re-bedding ridge caps. Tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500. If your tile roof is leaking into the interior, the problem is almost never the tile itself. It’s what’s underneath.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Fresno Homes
- Builder-grade shingles aging out early. Fresno’s sustained 100°F+ summers bake the oils out of lower-grade asphalt. Shingles that should last 20 years start curling and shedding granules at year six or seven, especially on south and west-facing slopes. If your home was built in the last 10 years and the roof looks tired, that’s likely what’s happening.
- Attic ventilation that can’t keep up. Newer subdivisions in Fresno’s eastern growth corridors often get minimum code ventilation, which isn’t enough for a San Joaquin Valley summer. Hot, trapped air cooks the underside of the decking and breaks down shingles from below. We see decking rot in homes less than 15 years old because of this.
- Roof-to-wall flashing failures during Tule fog. The damp, lingering fog we get from December through February sits on flashing seams and finds every pinhole. If your roof has leaked only in winter, it’s probably a flashing detail, not the field shingles. Those openings are fixable without a full re-roof, but they get worse every season.
- Gutters that dump water at the foundation line. Fresno sits on San Joaquin Valley alluvial clay. When downspouts pour concentrated runoff next to a slab-on-grade home, the clay expands and contracts with the moisture, and the stucco eventually cracks. Proper gutter sizing and downspout placement is a roofing responsibility many contractors ignore. We don’t.
Pricing for Roofing in Fresno, CA

What moves the number is roof size, pitch, deck condition, and your HOA’s material requirements. A two-story home in a gated east Fresno community with a standing seam metal mandate will land higher than a single-story ranch in the Tower District getting architectural shingles.

We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you bring us, and a $40 discount on any repair over $200.

FAQs - Roofing in Fresno
Yes. Fresno’s shrink-swell clay means water that concentrates at the foundation line will move your house seasonally. Downspouts need to discharge away from the slab, into drain lines or pop-up emitters, not splash blocks at the base of the wall. When we roof a Fresno home, we check gutter slope, downspout location, and splash distance as part of the job. Call (877) 610-1318 if your gutters are dumping water against your foundation.
Usually, but it depends on the HOA’s architectural guidelines. Some Fresno HOAs in the eastern growth corridor allow standing seam metal in approved colors. Others restrict it to specific lot types or elevations. We handle the paperwork for you: we pull the architectural application, submit material samples, and get written approval before ordering anything. If the HOA denies metal, we can install a cool-roof asphalt system that still meets Climate Zone 13.
No, a properly permitted re-roof within the roofing scope will not void the builder’s structural warranty. What can void it is amateur work, skipped permits, or modifications outside the roofing allowance. We keep our tear-offs and re-roofs in scope, pull the permit, and pass the final inspection. That keeps your structural warranty intact and gives you a signed inspection record for your file.
Because Fresno is in California Energy Commission Climate Zone 13, one of the most thermally demanding zones in the state. Summer attic temperatures here routinely hit 140°F or higher. Cool-roof materials reflect solar radiation instead of absorbing it, which reduces heat transfer into the attic and lowers cooling load. The same roof spec on a coastal home is about comfort. In Fresno, it’s about survival-and about what the permit office will approve.
You can, but the window is tighter. Tule fog from December through February leaves moisture on the roof surface for days, which makes some adhesives and underlayment difficult to install correctly. We schedule fog-season repairs on clearafternoons and use materials rated for cold,damp application where possible. If your roof is actively leaking during fog season, don’t wait. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get you scheduled.
Why Fresno’s Soil Changes the Roofing Conversation
Here’s the thing a coastal contractor won’t tell you: your roof and your foundation are connected. Fresno sits on San Joaquin Valley alluvial soils with high shrink-swell clay content. Wet winters expand the soil. Bone-dry summers at 110°F contract it. Repeat that cycle every year for 20 years and you’ll see what it does to a slab-on-grade home. That’s why we pay attention to roof drainage and gutter placement on every Fresno job. Where the water goes when it leaves the roof matters just as much as the roof itself. Concentrated runoff at the foundation line triggers seasonal clay movement, and eventually, stucco cracks and settling. Most roofers never look at the ground. We do, because in Fresno, the ground moves.
Our crew recently replaced a roof on a newer home in the eastern growth corridor near 93707. The builder-grade asphalt shingles had failed after just six years. We found the original roof lacked proper ventilation for Fresno’s 110°F summers, and the cheap underlayment had cracked along the eaves. We tore off to the deck, installed a cool-roof standing seam metal system to meet Title 24 Climate Zone 13 requirements, and added drip edge and gutters sized for our winter downpours-without voiding the builder’s structural warranty, because the scope of work stayed within the roofing allowance.
That’s the job. And it’s the job we do across Fresno, from the bungalow streets west of Blackstone to the new stucco tracts east of Freeway 168.
