Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Inglewood’s Preferred Roofing Company
The Newport-Inglewood Fault sits directly beneath this city, which means every roof we touch gets inspected the way a roof should be inspected: with the understanding that your house has already lived through more seismic events than most buildings in this country. Most of Inglewood’s homes are 1940s-1960s wood-frame bungalows and ranch-style houses, and their original roof decking often shows what decades of minor movement do to trusses and rafter connections. We look for that. It’s part of what makes us a floor above the franchise outfits that send a salesperson with a clipboard and a financing brochure.
Homeowners across Inglewood call us because Tom’s name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and the price he quotes is the price you pay. Every change, every allowance, every adjustment arrives as a written change order before any work moves forward. No surprise invoices. No “I forgot to mention the permit fee.” Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job, because the last contractor too many people used said permits were optional. They aren’t. The inspector works for you, not for me – that’s why I like him.
Our customers in 90307, 90308, 90309, and 90310 know that a live person answers the phone 24/7. Not a voicemail que, not an out-of-state answering service. You call, a human picks up. And if something isn’t right after the job, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract: one call brings Tom back.
And yes, we’ve got reviews. Strong ones. From Inglewood homeowners on Crenshaw, Manchester, Prairie, and the neighborhoods off Century Boulevard. Ask anyone on your street – or look up the license number yourself. We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number because you should verify who you’re hiring before you sign anything.
Our Roofing Services in Inglewood
Roof Repair in Inglewood
Most roof repair calls in Inglewood are leak-driven. Coastal marine air means roofs here stay damp longer than they do inland, and a small gap around a vent boot or a cracked tile becomes a mold problem faster than you’d think. We trace the leak to its source, make the repair with materials matched to your existing roof, and we don’t paper over the root cause. Roof repair in Inglewood typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on the size and location of the damage. If you’ve got a second opinion estimate from another company, bring it – we’ll give you a free second opinion on any written estimate, no charge.

Roof Replacement & Installation in Inglewood
When a roof reaches the end of its life – usually 20 to 30 years for composition shingle in Inglewood’s coastal climate – a full replacement is the honest fix. We don’t layer new shingles over rotted decking. We pull the old roof, inspect the sheathing, replace what’s compromised, and install the new system from the deck up. Roof replacement in Inglewood runs $8,000-$20,000, with the spread driven by square footage, pitch, decking condition, and material choice. We install GAF and CertainTeed because these are brands you can look up, not mystery material off a van.

Metal Roofing in Inglewood
More Inglewood homeowners are asking about standing seam metal, and it’s a sensible question. A metal roof handles the coastal moisture better than anything else, and with the marine layer sitting over this city for months at a time, moisture resistance isn’t a luxury. Standing seam metal installation in Inglewood runs $15,000-$40,000. It’s a bigger number up front, but you’re buying a roof that can outlast the original sheathing beneath it. We build metal roofs with properly ventilated assemblies so condensation doesn’t collect underneath the panels – that’s the failure point most installers skip.

Tile Roofing in Inglewood
Tile is common in Inglewood because it suits the Spanish and ranch architecture of the housing stock. But tile roofs on wood-frame bungalows need attention: the mortar at the hips and ridges on original 1940s and 1950s installations is often past its useful life, and the flashing at walls and penetrations has been sealing against damp air for six decades. Barrel tile roof repair in Inglewood runs $600-$2,500. We source matching tile from local yards so repairs blend with the existing roof rather than standing out like a patch job.
Beyond these four, our team handles specialty roofing, gutters and accessories, and emergency storm-damage response. Reference our full Roofing service page for the complete scope. And if a roof project turns into a broader exterior upgrade, we also handle Windows & Doors in Inglewood and Fence Installation in Inglewood so you’re not juggling three separate contractors.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
- Marine-layer moisture intrusion: Inglewood’s morning fog saturates roofing materials through late spring and early summer. We regularly find rotted decking and rusted flashing on homes where the leak was invisible from the attic until the drywall started staining.
- Seismic movement at roof-to-wall connections: The Newport-Inglewood Fault has shifted more than a few ridge lines in this city. We see cracked tiles, separated flashing, and lifted ridge caps on homes that have never had a roof inspection since the last major earthquake.
- Original 1940s-1960s decking failure: Most Inglewood bungalows still have their original 1×6 plank sheathing. Six decades of damp air and occasional leaks leave rot near eaves and valleys that a shingle overlay will never cure.
- Poor prior repairs by quick-bid contractors: We see a lot of mismatched shingle colors, sealant-smeared tiles, and “flashings” that are just beads of caulk. These are the fingerprints of out-of-town crews who quoted a low number and never expected to stand behind the work.

FAQs - Roofing in Inglewood

We never move forward on any emergency repair without a written estimate you’ve signed first.
Roofing in Inglewood is comparable to neighboring Hawthorne and Lennox, but two local factors can move the number: the building department’s permit backlog from the Hollywood Park buildout, and seismic-review requirements on homes near the Newport-Inglewood Fault. Complete permit packages with pre-checked Title 24 documentation avoid multi-week delays, and we handle that paperwork for you. Expect roof replacement in Inglewood to run $8,000-$20,000, with metal running higher at $15,000-$40,000.
Every roofing job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Beyond that, the materials we install – GAF, CertainTeed, Simonton, PGT – carry their own manufacturer warranties that we register for you at installation. The permit inspector signs off on the work too, which means an independent set of eyes has already checked our craftsmanship. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
If you’ve read this far, you’re probably dealing with a roof that’s been nagging you for months. Ceiling stain you’ve been touching up. Granules in the gutter after every rain. A flashing that looks like it was patched with whatever was in the truck. Here’s the honest truth: Inglewood’s coastal air doesn’t give roofs a break, and the longer a small leak lives, the more expensive it becomes. Call (877) 610-1318. Tom will pick up, answer your questions plainly, and set a time to come look. The estimate is free. The numbers don’t change unless you approve a written change order. And if we do the work, it’s done right – or we come back and make it right.
