AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Lubbock
Roof repair in Lubbock typically runs $400-$1,800 on most homes, while a full replacement lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on size, pitch, and decking condition. Those are the numbers we quote and stand behind, in writing, before a single shingle comes off the pallet. If you’re reading this because water is coming through the ceiling or you watched your neighbor’s ridge vent peel off in last week’s blow, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person picks up. Barrett & Sons Construction has been fixing and replacing roofs across Lubbock long enough to know exactly what this soil, this wind, and this hail do to a roof deck, and we don’t guess when we scope a job.
Lubbock isn’t just another stop on a route for us. The crews that show up on your street in Tech Terrace, over by 79407, or out in the southwest corridor are the same Barrett & Sons crews that get asked about by name at the lumberyard. We know that a 1960s ranch near Texas Tech has a completely different roof profile and failure pattern than a 2005 build in the newer subdivisions off 98th Street. That local knowledge changes what we look for, what we quote, and how we install. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom’s team will come look, measure, and give you a written estimate that holds.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lubbock’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his name is on the truck, the contract, and the sign in your yard. This is not a franchise that sends a different crew every time. When a Lubbock homeowner calls us about a roof concern, they’re talking to someone who knows what a Pullman clay foundation does to a roofline, and who has seen hundred-year hail in the alleys of 79406. We publish Tom’s name and license number right on the contract. Before you sign anything, look it up. Ask anyone in your neighborhood if they’ve heard of Barrett & Sons, and if they haven’t, you can look up the license number yourself. That’s the kind of company we are, and that’s the kind of company Lubbock homeowners keep calling back.
Every roofing job we do in Lubbock comes with a written scope of work, written allowances, and a written change order before any unexpected work proceeds. That matters more than you might think, especially on older Lubbock homes where opening a roof deck can reveal things no one predicted. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract we sign: if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. No punch list games, no voicemail purgatory. We stand behind the work because Tom lives twenty minutes from most of the south side; if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it before you do.
We’re a full-service construction and Roofing company with deep experience across every trade a home needs. That matters for your roof because we’re not a roofing-only outfit that pretends a cracked rafter or a rotted soffit is somebody else’s problem. We handle the framing, the flashing, the underlayment, and the gutters in the same visit, with the same crew, under the same written scope.
Our Roofing Services in Lubbock
Roof Repair
Most roof repairs in Lubbock are not mysteries. Wind-driven rain gets behind flashing, hail cracks shingles, and old pipe boots dry out and split. We fix all of it. The bigger issue in Lubbock is what the soil does underneath. A small leak that’s been running inside a wall for a season can turn a $600 repair into a much larger conversation, but we’ll find it before it spreads, and anything beyond the original scope goes in writing before we proceed.
Roof Replacement & Installation
When a Lubbock roof is done, we install it for this specific climate. That means upgraded nailing patterns on the windward west and south eaves, ice-and-water shield at valleys and penetrations, and full decking inspection before underlayment goes down. In the older red-brick ranch neighborhoods like those around 79404 and 79405, decking is often 60 years old, sun-baked, and brittle. If it needs replacement, we write that change order before we nail a thing. No surprise invoices at the end, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs make a lot of sense in Lubbock. They shed hail better than asphalt, they’re rated for what the Llano Estacado wind throws at them, and they don’t peel back at the eaves the way three-tab shingles do in a 60 mph gust. We’ve installed metal roofs all over Lubbock, from agricultural-style outbuildings to full residential replacements in the southwest neighborhoods. Expect a real investment: $15,000 to $40,000 for most homes, depending on square footage and whether we’re replacing decking at the same time.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing, including barrel tile, shows up on some of the higher-end and Spanish-influenced homes around Lubbock. Tile is beautiful and durable, but a cracked tile lets water into a roof system that wasn’t designed to breathe the same way asphalt is. We repair and replace tile roofs with the same discipline as everything else: full inspection, written scope, and no shortcuts on flashing or underlayment. If your tile roof is losing pieces after a hailstorm, call before the next storm finds the gap.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Lubbock Homes
- Wind-torn shingles on west and south eaves. Lubbock’s summer gusts at 40 to 60 mph pry up shingles that were barely nailed down in the first place. We inspect every nail line on the windward side, because that’s where roofs fail first here.
- Hairline cracks at roof-to-wall junctions. Pullman clay heaves and settles enough to move the walls of a house a fraction of an inch, which opens tiny gaps where flashing meets brick. Wind-driven rain finds those gaps and wicks straight into your attic. Most roofing crews in Amarillo or Midland never even look for that. We do, on every single job.
- Hail fatigue on older shingles. Lubbock sits square in West Texas hail alley. After a big event, the whole city gets a wave of roof replacements. But some homeowners wait, and by the time we arrive the shingles are not just cracked but dead, with granule loss down to the mat. That’s a full replacement, not a repair.
- Rotten decking under old roofs. Too many post-hail repairs skip replacing sun-baked decking because the insurance check didn’t cover it and the owner didn’t see it. We won’t do that. If the decking is shot, you’ll get a change order in writing and a reason why it can’t wait. Your new roof will last for decades, not five years.
Pricing for Roofing in Lubbock, TX
Here’s what a typical Lubbock roofing job actually costs, in plain numbers. These are the ranges we quote and honor every day.
| Service | Typical Lubbock Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $15,000-$40,000 |
What moves a specific job inside or outside these ranges: total square footage, roof pitch (a 12/12 on a 1960s two-story is a different animal than a 4/12 ranch), how much decking has to be replaced, and whether we’re pulling permits and coordinating inspections. We pull permits on every eligible job. The inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, in writing, with no trip charge inside Lubbock County.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lubbock
We install and service the brands Lubbock homeowners can look up and verify: GAF and CertainTeed on asphalt and composite roofs, plus standing seam metal systems backed by manufacturers who stand behind their warranties as firmly as we do. We also work with premium hardscape and paver brands like Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers when a Lubbock job calls for coordinated exterior work, which is more common than you’d think after a hail season. If you’ve been quoted one of these brands at a price that sounds too good, compare it to our written quote line by line. We’ll both be looking at the same materials.

FAQs - Roofing in Lubbock
Because Pullman clay finally gets rain, heaves, and moves your walls just enough to open hairline gaps at the roof-to-wall flashing. The leak isn’t from normal storm exposure; it’s from movement you can’t see from the ground. If you notice new ceiling stains after a long dry spell finally breaks, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll trace it to the source, flashing and all, and give you a written repair plan.
Yes, roof replacements in Lubbock require a permit, and we pull it on every eligible job. The inspection isn’t a hurdle; it’s the part that protects you. When we replace a roof on a home that’s also headed for a remodel, the permit record shows the city exactly what was done, which keeps your future project clean. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the permit process before we start, not after.
We use a six-nail nailing pattern on the windward west and south eaves, and we often upgrade the underlayment on those same elevations. Lubbock’s 40 to 60 mph gusts are not occasional; they’re routine. A shingle installed to a Dallas wind load spec will peel here. That’s a fact we build into every quote. If you’d like to see exactly how we’ll fasten your roof, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you the manufacturer’s wind rating and where it falls short for Lubbock.
For most Lubbock homeowners, yes. A standing seam metal roof handles hail better, stands up to the wind, and lasts two to three times as long as a good asphalt roof in this climate. It’s a bigger number up front, $15,000 to $40,000 on most homes, but when you’re replacing shingles again in 2032 you’ll have already recouped the difference. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a real number for your roof, not a brochure.
Expect us to inspect the decking more carefully than the last crew did. Those post-WWII red-brick ranches in Tech Terrace and across the east and south sides often have 60-year-old decking that’s been baked by the Lubbock sun and cracked by soil movement. If it’s rotted, we write a change order before we touch it. We protect your brick, your landscaping, and your sanity, and the crew that starts the job is the crew that finishes it. If you want to know what a replacement will look like on your specific ranch, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written line-item scope.
