Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Hollister
Roof work in Hollister comes down to two things: a valley sun that bakes shingles at 100 degrees all summer, and a winter rain season that finds every seam and flashing mistake you didn’t know you had. We’ve been the Roofing crew homeowners call when those two seasons expose what the last contractor left behind. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, and our crews know the difference between a ridge vent that can breathe through a Hollister August and one that’ll cook your attic into an oven. If you’ve got a leak, a lifting edge, or a roof that’s just plain tired, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318. We’ll tell you straight what you need and what you don’t.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hollister’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crew trucks that show up in Hollister neighborhoods from the 95023 side of town out to the newer 95024 subdivisions, handling everything from Driveway & Pavers - Hollister to full roof replacements. You won’t get a dispatcher in another state when you call. A live person answers, and if Tom isn’t on the other end, one of his sons is. That matters out here, where a lot of homeowners have already been burned by a national brand that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door.
Ask anyone on your street how many roofing companies actually pull permits in Hollister. We pull them on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me; that’s why I like him. When a Hollister homeowner signs with Barrett & Sons, they get Tom’s name, address, and license number on the contract, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Roofing Services in Hollister
Roof Repair
Hollister roofs take a beating from both directions. Summer heat dries out asphalt shingles until they crack and curl. Winter storms send water under any edge that’s lost its seal. Most roof repairs in the Hollister market fall between $400 and $1,800. We replace damaged shingles, fix flashing around chimneys and skylights, reseal vents, and repair valley leaks that show up as ceiling stains in older ranch-style homes near downtown. If you’re in a 1950s or 1960s house off San Benito Street, we know the framing and decking you’re probably working with, and we won’t sell you a repair that doesn’t address it.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Hollister typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and how much old decking needs to come up. The 2000s-era tract homes spreading through the 95024 subdivisions often hit the lower end of that range; the mid-century homes with multiple roof lines and unusual pitches land higher. We’re a GAF-certified installer, which means the shingles we put on your roof come with a manufacturer warranty you can actually look up. Every replacement gets a written scope of work before day one, and every change gets a written change order before it happens.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has caught on in Hollister for a simple reason: it shrugs off 105-degree heat better than asphalt ever will, and it channels winter rain straight into the gutters instead of letting it pool. A standing seam metal roof for a typical Hollister home runs $15,000 to $40,000. It’s a bigger upfront number, but a lot of Hollister homeowners who plan to stay in their house for twenty years are making that move now. We install metal roofs over new construction and as tear-off replacements, and the crew has done enough of them across San Benito County that we can show you finished roofs in your own neighborhood.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs are common on the larger custom homes on the hillsides east of town, and they present their own set of Hollister problems. Tile is heavy; older framing wasn’t always engineered for it, and individual tiles crack over time. Tile roof repair in Hollister generally runs $600 to $2,500. We match existing tile where possible, replace broken or slipped pieces, and repoint the ridge lines that are the first thing to fail on a tile roof after twenty years of valley heat.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollister
We install and repair GAF shingle systems, which means our Hollister customers get a named warranty they can register and verify, not a mystery brand off a van. On specialty and metal roof work, we’ve got access to premium materials that hold up to extended sun exposure, and we stock the common repair parts locally so a Hollister job doesn’t sit waiting on a shipment from three states away. When we quote a roof, we’ll name the materials on the line items. You’ll know exactly what’s going on your house before anything gets ordered, and any substitution arrives as a written change order, not a surprise at the end.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Hollister Homes
- Sun-baked shingle failure. Hollister sits in an inland valley, shielded from Monterey Bay’s marine layer, and summer days routinely push past 95 degrees. Asphalt shingles that would last twenty years near the coast start cracking and shedding granules here at twelve to fifteen years.
- Flashing failures on mid-century ranch homes. Houses built in the 1950s and 1960s around downtown Hollister often have original flashing that’s outlived its sealant by a decade or more. Chimney, skylight, and roof-to-wall flashing failures are the most common leak sources we repair.
- Valley and gutter overflows during winter storms. Hollister winters are wetter and colder than the coast, and saturated clay soils hold moisture against foundations. When gutters clog or valleys undershoot, water doesn’t just damage the roof; it channels down and contributes to the drainage problems those clay soils already create.
- Storm damage from winter wind events. The same valley geography that keeps Hollister hot in summer lets winter storm fronts push through with surprising force. We regularly respond to lifted shingles, displaced ridge caps, and fallen tile after storms sweep down from the Diablo Range.

FAQs - Roofing in Hollister
If water is coming through your ceiling, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, any hour. For an active leak in Hollister, we typically have a crew on site the same day or next morning, with emergency tarping available when the weather demands it. Roof leaks don’t wait for business hours in a Hollister winter, and neither do we.
Yes. We work across the 95023 and 95024 zip codes, from older homes near downtown and San Benito Street out to the newer subdivisions on the north and east edges of town. We also run jobs in the unincorporated county pockets around Hollister, where the same fault-creep and clay-soil conditions apply to the property, not just the house.
If your roof was damaged by a covered event like a windstorm or falling tree, your homeowner’s policy may cover part or all of the replacement. We’ll work with your adjuster, meet them on-site in Hollister, and write the scope of work in the format they expect. That’s something we’ve done enough times in this valley that we know what San Benito County adjusters look for in storm-damage claims.
Hollister pricing sits right in line with the rest of San Benito and southern Santa Clara County. The larger factor isn’t geography, it’s the condition of your existing roof and the age of your home. A 1950s ranch near downtown with original decking will routinely require more repair work than a 2010s tract home, and that shows up on the quote. You’ll see the line items either way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives in writing before work happens.
Yes. Every eligible roofing job in Hollister gets its permits pulled and its inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we don’t skip the step. A roofing permit in San Benito County is cheap insurance against buying a problem you’ll have to explain when you sell the house.
If you’re ready to get a real number for your Hollister roof, or want to learn about our Home Additions & ADU in Hollister, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. We’ll schedule a free estimate, climb up, and tell you what you actually need, not what’s easiest for us to sell. Live person answers, every time.
