Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Kennedale
If you’re calling around Kennedale for roofing work, you probably want two things: a straight answer on price and a crew that shows up when they say they will. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been handling roofs across Kennedale and the surrounding Tarrant County communities for over 29 years. Roof repair in Kennedale typically runs $400-$1,800, and a full replacement often lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on the roofline and material. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate, not a guess over the phone.
Kennedale’s roofs take a beating that city roofs don’t. The houses here sit on heavy Blackland clay that shrinks in August and swells after spring storms, and that movement shows up in fascia boards, rake edges, and flashing long before the shingles themselves fail. Older wood-frame homes from the ’70s and ’80s have different decking than the slab-on-grade tract houses built off Little School Road in the last decade. You want someone who understands both, and who knows Kennedale issues its own building permits through the city, not through Tarrant County. We plan for that inspection schedule in every estimate so the job doesn’t stall waiting on a sign-off.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kennedale’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When you call, you’re not getting an out-of-state call center or a rotating cast of subcontractors. You get a name you can look up, a license number you can verify, and a face you’ll probably see again at the hardware store on Kennedale Parkway. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way.
Kennedale homeowners talk to each other. We know that our reputation here rides on what your neighbor says about us over the fence. That’s why every price change arrives as a written change order before any work moves forward. That’s why we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. And that’s why we back every roof with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not tucked into fine print. If something isn’t right after we leave, Tom comes back. One call.
Response time to Kennedale is straightforward: our crews stage from the DFW metro office, and we’re in the 76060 zip code regularly. A live person answers the phone 24/7. No trip charge inside the county. Free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from someone else.
Our Roofing Services in Kennedale
Roof Repair
Most of the repair calls we take in Kennedale come down to two things: wind-lifted shingles after a spring squall, and slow leaks that started at a vent boot or valley flashing. Repair work here typically runs $400-$1,800. We’ll climb up, put eyes on the actual problem, and show you what we found before a single nail moves.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full re-roof on a Kennedale home usually lands between $8,000 and $20,000. The range depends on square footage, pitch, decking condition, and tear-off fees. On the older rural-era homes south of Kennedale Parkway, we often find decking that was nailed directly over skip sheathing, which costs more to bring up to code. We’ll tell you that before the contract, not as a surprise at the end.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is a strong choice for the North Texas heat and hail cycle, and in Kennedale it’s growing on both the new acreage builds and the older farmhouses. A metal roof installation in Kennedale typically runs $15,000-$40,000. It lasts longer, sheds hail better, and reflects enough sun to actually move the needle on August cooling bills. We install GAF metal systems alongside other premium lines, and we’ll spec the right panel profile for your roofline.

Tile Roofing
Tile roofs are less common in Kennedale than Arlington or Fort Worth, but we see them on custom homes and a handful of Spanish-style builds off Sublett Road. Tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500, and it’s not a job for a handyman with a ladder and a tube of caulk. Broken barrel tiles let water sit against the underlayment, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the decking is already involved. We’ll match the profile and color as close as the manufacturer allows.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kennedale
We install GAF shingles and related roofing systems, and we stand behind materials you can actually look up. No mystery-brand materials off a van. That matters when you’re writing a check for fifteen thousand dollars. We keep common components staged for Kennedale jobs, so we’re not waiting on a warehouse order when your repair is down to a few bundles of match-up shingles. If you’re also thinking about replacing windows while the crew is out, we handle Windows & Doors in Kennedale too, and we can sequence the work so your siding and trim don’t get done twice.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Kennedale Homes
- Wind-lifted shingles on east-facing slopes. Spring and fall fronts hit Kennedale from the west and northwest, but the backside of those storms wraps around and grabs the east roof planes. We find lifted tabs and broken seal strips on the same side of the house year after year.
- Flashing failures at chimneys and vent pipes. The older wood-frame homes along the Kennedale Parkway corridor often have original galvanized flashing that’s forty years old. Galvanized metal eventually rusts through at the bend lines, and that’s where the slow leaks start.
- Clay-shift stress on fascia and rake boards. Blackland Prairie clay moves more than most soil in Texas. When the ground under a slab heaves after a wet spring, the exterior walls shift slightly, and the fascia board pulls away from the rafter tails. That gap lets water behind the gutter line.
- Hail damage on three-tab shingles. We replace a fair number of older three-tab roofs in Kennedale after hailstorms. The granules get knocked off, the fiberglass mat starts showing through, and the roof is done. A new architectural shingle handles North Texas hail a lot better than a 20-year-old three-tab ever did.
Pricing for Roofing in Kennedale, TX
Here’s the straight answer. Roof repair in Kennedale runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs. A full roof replacement runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage, tear-off, decking repair, and material choice. Metal roofing runs $15,000-$40,000, and tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500. What moves the number on a replacement? Tear-off fees if you have two layers, decking condition on those older rural-build homes, pitch (steep roofs cost more in labor), and whether you pick a standard architectural shingle or move up to a premium line. We write every allowance and every scope item on the estimate before you sign. If something changes mid-job, you get a change order in writing before work proceeds. No surprise invoices. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
We also offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from another company, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.

FAQs - Roofing in Kennedale
Our crews stage from the DFW metro office, and we’re running jobs in the 76060 zip code most weeks. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and there’s no trip charge inside Tarrant County. For roof leaks and storm damage, we prioritize Kennedale calls and can usually have eyes on the roof the same day during business hours. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you straight when we can be there.
Yes. We work across the entire city: the older homes along Kennedale Parkway, the new construction off Little School Road and Sublett Road, the acreage properties south of the city center, and the subdivisions near the Arlington border. Kennedale has a mix of 1960s-1980s wood-frame homes and newer slab-on-grade tract builds, and our crews are familiar with the decking and framing styles of each. If you’re in 76060, we cover it.
Kennedale issues its own building permits through the city, independent of Tarrant County and independent of Fort Worth. A roof replacement or significant structural repair requires a permit, and the city runs its own inspection schedule. Some contractors who work mostly in unincorporated Tarrant County or Arlington get tripped up by Kennedale’s separate process. We don’t. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the sign-off happens before we call the job done. The inspector works for you, not for us.
Roofing prices in Kennedale are generally in line with the rest of Tarrant County, with a few local variables. The older wood-frame homes here sometimes need more decking repair than a newer Arlington tract house, which can push a replacement toward the higher end of the $8,000-$20,000 range. But Kennedale’s permit fees are set by the city, not the county, and they’re reasonable. The honest answer is that a written line-item estimate is the only way to know your actual number. Ours is free. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule one.
Every roof we install carries the manufacturer’s material warranty plus our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. That’s a contract term, not a verbal promise. If you find something that isn’t done right within 90 days of completion, Tom Barrett comes back personally and makes it right. One call. We also encourage every Kennedale homeowner to keep their estimate, contract, and change orders in one folder. If there’s ever a question about what was supposed to happen, the paper answers it.
If you’ve got a roof that’s been patched one too many times, or you’re tired of chasing the last contractor who quoted one number and billed another, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll give you a written estimate, a straight answer, and the name of the guy who’ll be on your roof.
