We’re not new to Kaufman. We know the difference between a 1940s pier-and-beam near the courthouse square and a post-tension slab home in a brand-new subdivision off Highway 175. We know what the black clay does to chimney flashing, how hail rides through this corridor in April, and why a cheap re-roof here fails in ways a cheap re-roof in Dallas never gets tested. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we quote a Kaufman roof, we quote the roof Kaufman code actually requires. Not the roof a national sales rep hopes you’ll accept.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kaufman’s Preferred Roofing Company

Kaufman homeowners keep calling us back because our price on paper matches our price at the end. Every change order, every allowance, every scope adjustment arrives in writing before a single nail moves. That matters in Kaufman, where word travels fast and a contractor who surprises you on the back end won’t last two summers.

Our Roofing crews are the Barrett sons and their teams. They carry the name, and they know you’ll see them at the Brookshire’s or the courthouse square hardware store. We pull every Kaufman permit that applies and sit through every City of Kaufman inspection. The inspector works for you, not for us. That’s exactly why we like him there.

Our Roofing Services in Kaufman

Roof Repair

Roof repair in Kaufman runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs, depending on how far the leak has traveled and whether the decking underneath is still sound. We repair ridge vents, valleys, pipe boots, chimney flashing, and storm damage. On older homes near the historic courthouse square, we often see repairs complicated by uneven pier-and-beam settling, meaning flashing that sealed fine in 1975 may have pulled apart an inch or more today. We check the whole plane, not just the obvious hole.

Small repair? We offer $40 off any repair over $200. It’s not a gimmick; it’s on our published standing offers and it applies in Kaufman.

Roof Replacement & Installation

Full roof replacement in Kaufman runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the range depends on roof size, decking condition, slope, and the wind rating the shingle must carry. Kaufman sits in a 110 mph wind-load zone under the 2018 IRC with Texas amendments. That means a compliant quote here has to specify nail pattern, underlayment type, and shingle wind rating. If a quote just says “30-year shingles” and nothing else, it’s not a Kaufman quote. It’s a guess with a price on it.

We strip to the deck, inspect it, and only then quote replacement decking if it’s needed. No surprises at the end. The number you see is the number you pay, unless a written change order says otherwise and you sign it first.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation in Kaufman runs $15,000 to $40,000, and that’s a serious investment worth planning. Standing seam metal carries 130 mph or higher wind ratings when installed to manufacturer spec, which makes it a strong fit for Kaufman’s severe-weather corridor. We install standing seam and exposed-fastener systems, and we quote the full package: underlayment, ridge and gable trim, and vented closures that keep the underside dry through Kaufman’s wet springs.

If you’re replacing a roof on a Kaufman home you plan to keep for twenty years, metal is worth a hard look. Hail handling matters, but so does not re-roofing the same house three times in two decades. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll break down the real numbers for your specific Kaufman roof.

Tile Roofing

Tile roof repair in Kaufman costs $600 to $2,500 for most repairs, though we also handle full tile re-roofs. Barrel tile and flat-profile concrete tile both hold up well to Kaufman’s sun and hail, but the underlayment underneath is the part that actually keeps water out. On older tile roofs in Kaufman, we often find failed underlayment long before the tile itself looks worn. That’s a repair you can’t postpone once the leak shows.

We carry tile profiles to match existing Kaufman homes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a section repair or full underlayment replacement makes more sense for your house. Estimates are free, and we never charge a trip fee inside the county.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kaufman

We stock and install roofing systems you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. That means GAF and CertainTeed asphalt shingles, including Class 4 impact-rated lines that hold up better to the hail Kaufman gets each spring. For metal roofing, we work with manufacturers whose wind ratings are documented and verifiable, which matters when your Kaufman home sits in a 110 mph wind zone.

For gutters and accessories, we carry brands like Techo-Bloc adjacent to our roofing work where fascia and drainage need to move water off the slab quickly. Kaufman’s clay soil punishes a home that doesn’t move roof water at least three to four feet from the foundation. We stock common parts locally and can get specialty items faster than most Kaufman owners expect, because we plan around the building permit cycle here, not around a national warehouse’s shipping calendar.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Kaufman Homes

• Blow-off from under-fastened re-roofs. Some Kaufman homes have had a second layer of shingles nailed over the original without adding the fastener count a 110 mph wind zone requires. When the first severe storm pushes through, whole sections peel off. We fix it by stripping to deck and re-nailing to code.
• Hail damage on standard 3-tab shingles. Kaufman sits in an active North Texas hail corridor, and plain 3-tab shingles often lose granules and crack after one bad April. We replace with Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingle rated for 130 mph where the roof shape allows, and we document everything for your insurer.
• Uneven flashing on aging pier-and-beam homes. The older wood-frame homes near the Kaufman County Courthouse have shifted for decades on Blackland Prairie clay. Chimney and step flashing that once sealed now gaps by an inch or more in dry summers. We re-flash and reseal as part of any repair.
• Water dumping too close to the foundation. Kaufman’s Houston Black clay shrinks in August and swells by March, and roof runoff hitting right at the slab edge makes it worse. We correct gutter pitch and add downspout extensions so water gets carried away from the house, not into the soil under it.
