AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Houston
Roof replacement in Houston typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard asphalt shingle home, while roof repairs land between $400 and $1,800 depending on what’s failed. Most jobs in the inner loop take 2 to 4 days once materials arrive, and Barrett & Sons crews live and work right here in Harris County. If you’re in Montrose, the Heights, or down toward the 77021 ZIP, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will pick up, answer your questions, and schedule a free estimate without any pressure.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Houston’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise outfit that dispatches strangers from three counties over. Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and the name on the truck is the name that answers the phone. When a Houston homeowner in the Heights calls about water staining a 1920s craftsman ceiling, we know to check whether the original roof was ever re-sheathed and whether the pier-and-beam settling has pulled a flashing joint apart. That’s not textbook knowledge. That’s what comes from driving these streets for nearly three decades.
Houston customers leave the kind of reviews you’d expect from people who’ve been burned before and finally found someone who writes everything down. Our change orders arrive in writing before any scope shift touches the job. Our permits get pulled and inspections signed on every eligible project. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise sits on every contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No gatekeeping, no corporate runaround, no surprise invoice at the end.
Our Roofing Services in Houston
Every crew that shows up at a Houston home carries the Barrett & Sons name, which means Tom’s sons are on-site most days and every member has passed a background check. Here’s what we handle most weeks across Harris County, from Roofing replacements to smaller repair calls.
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Houston runs $400 to $1,800 on average. The most common calls we get in the inner loop involve lifted shingles after a squall line moves through, nail pops from attic heat expansion, and pipe boot seals that crack after a few Houston summers. If you’ve got a leak near a valley or a wall flashing, call early. A small repair now is a fraction of what a rotted deck costs to replace next spring.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on a typical Houston home costs between $8,000 and $20,000, and the biggest variable is decking condition. Homes in the 77006-77009 corridor, especially those 1920s and 1930s bungalows in Montrose and the Heights, often have original 1×6 decking that needs to be re-nailed or partially replaced before new GAF shingles go down. We’ll tell you before we start, in writing, what the deck requires.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs run $15,000 to $40,000 in Houston, and they’re a smart fit for this climate. Houston gets over 50 inches of rain a year, and a metal roof sheds water fast and handles the Gulf Coast wind gusts better than most shingle profiles. We install standing seam systems on both new construction and retrofit projects, including homes in flood-remapped zones where finished-floor elevations are already tight and every inch of roof profile matters.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair around Houston costs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many barrels or tiles need replacing and whether the underlayment beneath them has been compromised. Barrel tile is beautiful on the right home, but it’s heavy, and some older Houston bungalows weren’t framed for that load. We’ll check the structure before recommending tile, and we’ll never sell you a look your rafters can’t carry.

Trusted Brands We Service in Houston
We install and repair GAF shingle systems because homeowners can look them up, call the manufacturer, and verify the warranty themselves. We also work with CertainTeed when a Houston homeowner wants a specific profile or color. Parts and materials come from suppliers we’ve used for years, not whatever fell off a van, and if you’re scheduling a repair in Bellaire or West University Place, we can often have common GAF components on the truck the same day. That matters when you’ve got a leak and the next storm is already on the radar.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Houston Homes
- Wind lift on the north and west exposures. Houston’s strongest storms typically arrive from the northwest, and the resulting gusts peel shingles along roof edges where the nail pattern was too high. We re-secure the perimeter with proper nailing and new sealant where needed.
- Attic-driven nail pops. Houston attics hit 130 degrees in August, and that expansion-contraction cycle works nails loose over time. The fix is straightforward, but leaving it means water finds the loose nail and follows it into the deck.
- Valley and flashing failures on older bungalows. The 1920s and 1930s craftsman homes in the Heights and Montrose often have steep valleys and original metal flashings that have been painted over repeatedly. Once the seal breaks, water tracks sideways under the shingles and shows up as stains on interior ceilings weeks later.
- Deck rot from deferred maintenance. Houston’s humidity keeps damp wood wet longer, and once the deck sheathing starts to go, a repair becomes a replacement. Catching this early is why we recommend annual roof checks, especially on homes older than 20 years.

Metal roofing installation: $15,000-$40,000. Tile roof repair: $600-$2,500.

No, pricing is based on the roof, the scope, and the material, not the ZIP code. A roof repair in Houston runs the same $400-$1,800 range you’d see in Bellaire or West University Place. What changes the price is decking condition, height, pitch, and how the home sits on its lot. You’ll get the same written estimate either way.
Yes, we respond to Houston storm damage calls as fast as our schedule allows, and we’ll tarp the roof to stop active water intrusion if it’s safe to do so. After a major hail or wind event, we recommend documenting everything and calling before the adjuster shows up so we can walk the roof together. We’re licensed and insured, and we’ll help you understand what the insurance scope covers.
