Roof replacement in Greatwood typically runs $8,000-$20,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof on the area’s master-planned brick veneer homes, while roof repair usually lands between $400 and $1,800. Most jobs clear HOA architectural review within a week, pulling the permit and scheduling the crew within 14 days. That’s the range Greatwood homeowners should expect, and that’s the pace we work at. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put every scope, every shingle brand, and every dollar in writing before the first ladder comes off the truck.
We know Greatwood because we work here constantly. The 77469 zip code isn’t a drive-by for us. It’s Canyon Gate Drive, River Ridge, the sections along Greatwood Parkway, and the cul-de-sac grid where two-story brick veneer homes with 15-to-35-year-old roofs all hit their first replacement cycle around the same time. If you call us from Greatwood, Tom or one of his sons answers the phone, often from a job site twenty minutes away.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Greatwood’s Preferred Roofing Company
When a Greatwood homeowner calls about a roof leak near the chimney, we know what we’re walking into before we arrive. We know the 2003-era builder-grade shingles on those two-story brick veneer homes. We know the north slopes that catch Brazos River corridor humidity and rot the decking from underneath. And we know the HOA architectural review process that every Greatwood roof job must clear before a single nail moves. That’s not generic roofing knowledge. That’s local knowledge built roof by roof.
Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated and has been since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, on the contract, and on every scope of work we write. His sons run the crews. When you hire us for a roof in Greatwood, the person who shakes your hand at the quote is the same person who walks the roof on install day and the same person you call if anything goes wrong at month two. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
We also understand what Greatwood homeowners have already been through. Many of you dealt with national outfits after Harvey, or you got a quote from one company and a bill from another. Our price changes never arrive at the end. They arrive as written change orders before the work happens, signed and agreed, every time. If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t exist. That’s the rule on every Barrett & Sons roof in Greatwood, and it’s why homeowners here keep our number.
Our Roofing Services in Greatwood
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Greatwood runs $400-$1,800 depending on what’s failing. The most common call we get is wind-driven rain intrusion around flashings where black clay soil movement has widened roof-to-wall gaps seasonally. We repair flashing, replace damaged shingles, seal seams, and match the existing shingle to keep your HOA architectural compliance intact. Roof repair in Greatwood should be quick, honest, and documented. We write every repair scope before we start, and we warranty our work.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Greatwood runs $8,000-$20,000. That covers tear-off, decking repair where needed, synthetic underlayment, and architectural shingles within the community’s approved earth-tone palette. We pull the permit and clear HOA architectural review before rough-in, so inspection sign-off matches the approved plans. If you’re replacing a 2003-era builder-grade roof on a two-story off Canyon Gate Drive, we already know what that decking looks like under the shingles. Many original roofs in Greatwood are hitting end-of-life now, and the quote should reflect what’s actually under there, not just what’s on top.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Greatwood runs $15,000-$40,000. Standing seam metal handles Brazos River humidity and Fort Bend County’s 100-degree heat better than asphalt, and it’s a strong choice if your home sits in a section of Greatwood with recurring wind-driven rain exposure. We carry GAF and CertainTeed products alongside metal system lines we trust. Before you commit, confirm with your HOA that the metal profile and color meet Greatwood’s architectural guidelines. We help with that paperwork. We don’t leave you to figure it out alone.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Greatwood runs $600-$2,500. Barrel tile and concrete tile hold up well in Texas heat, but the underlayment beneath them breaks down over time, and broken tiles can’t just be pulled and patched without checking the decking. We inspect the underlayment, replace damaged tile to match, and document everything for your HOA file. If you need tile roof repair after a storm or years of sun, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out and give you a straight answer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greatwood
We install and service GAF asphalt shingle systems and CertainTeed roofing products because they hold up in Fort Bend County’s wet winters and brutal summers, and because the manufacturers stand behind their products with warranties we can explain in plain English. When a Greatwood roof needs repair, we stock common shingle colors locally so turnaround is fast. We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van. Every product has a name you can look up, and every warranty gets explained before you sign.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Greatwood Homes
- Builder-grade shingle failure at the 20-30 year mark. Homes built between 1988 and 2012 are hitting first major roof replacement now, and the original shingles are often cracked, granule-bald, or lifting at the eaves.
- Decking rot on the north slope. Brazos River corridor humidity cycles rot the plywood under the shingles, especially on north-facing slopes that stay shaded and damp through wet winters.
- Hurricane Harvey patch seams failing first. Hundreds of Greatwood roofs got patch jobs after 2017 flooding. Those patches were often sealed incorrectly around the original underlayment, and now they leak first. We see it constantly.
- HOA color mismatch at replacement. Homeowners swap shingle colors without HOA architectural review, fail final inspection, and face a full re-roof. The HOA architectural review is mandatory in Greatwood before the permit is even pulled. We handle it for you.

FAQs - Roofing in Greatwood
Yes. Greatwood enforces a single master-planned aesthetic across all 77469 subdivisions, and the HOA architectural review is mandatory before the roofing permit can be pulled. If you change the shingle color without approval, the inspection sign-off can be stopped and you may face a tear-off and redo at your own cost. Unlike neighboring Sugar Land or Richmond, Greatwood’s covenant requires a palette match. We handle the HOA architectural review paperwork before rough-in so your inspection matches the approved plans. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your roof through the process correctly the first time.
The black clay soil under Greatwood expands in wet winters and contracts in 100-degree summers, which moves your slab-on-grade foundation seasonally. That movement widens roof-to-wall gaps around chimney flashings, so wind-driven rain finds the seams that Harvey patches never sealed to the original underlayment. The patch fails first because the house is literally moving under it. We inspect the flashing, the underlayment bond, and the patch seams all together, then repair the whole system, not just the leak. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.
It depends on your section’s architectural guidelines. Some Greatwood subdivisions allow standing seam metal if the profile and color fall within the community’s earth-tone palette. Others restrict metal entirely. The only way to know for certain is to submit the HOA architectural review with the correct specifications. We help you prepare that submittal. Metal roof installation in Greatwood runs $15,000-$40,000, and if your section allows it, standing seam metal handles Brazos River humidity and Texas heat better than asphalt. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your section’s rules before you spend a dollar.
Portions of Greatwood within the Brazos River floodplain are subject to FEMA’s substantial improvement rule. Any structural project, including post-Harvey repairs, that cumulatively exceeds 50% of the structure’s pre-damage assessed value triggers mandatory flood-elevation compliance. That can mean elevation certificates and sometimes a full pier-lift scope mid-project to keep the permit valid. It’s a real FEMA requirement in specific Greatwood sections, not a scare tactic. We coordinate elevation certificates and structural scope so your permit stays valid. Call (877) 610-1318 to find out if your home falls in that zone.
Those homes were built with slab-on-grade foundations on Fort Bend County’s heavy shrink-swell clay, and the same moisture cycles that move the slab also trap humidity in the attic against the north slope decking. The shingles look fine from the ground while the plywood underneath is rotting. By the time a leak shows on the ceiling, the decking repair scope is usually significant. We inspect decking condition on every Greatwood roof replacement before we quote, and our replacement ranges reflect honest decking work, not just shingle work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a full roof assessment. Estimates are free.
