Roofing in Melissa - Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Melissa

Roof replacement in Melissa typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard composition shingle tear-off and re-roof on a 2010s-era tract home, while targeted repairs usually land between $400 and $1,800. Most of the work we do here sits on post-tensioned slabs over Blackland Prairie clay, which means the roof framing moves more than you’d expect, and that movement shows up as flashing tears and truss uplift long before the shingles themselves fail. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been watching this exact pattern since the first big wave of Melissa subdivisions went in. Call (877) 610-1318 if you suspect your roof is shifting, leaking, or just wearing out faster than it should.

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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a line, it’s the actual structure: the name on the truck is the family that shows up at your door. Melissa homeowners tend to appreciate that after dealing with national outfits that quote one price over the phone and hand over a different number after tear-off.

We pull permits on every eligible roof job and we don’t treat the inspector as an obstacle. The permit inspector works for you, not for me; that’s why I like him. When the inspector signs off on a Melissa roof, you know the deck, underlayment, and flashing were checked by someone whose only job is your safety. We also put every scope change in writing before it happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Around Melissa, where acreage properties and new subdivisions both create unexpected conditions once the old roof comes off, that written change order is the difference between a clean job and a bad story.

Our Roofing team covers all of Melissa, including the master-planned communities along Milrany Lane and the larger acreage parcels east toward Anna. Dispatch and scheduling run from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but the crews working in your neighborhood live in Collin County and know these streets. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center: call (877) 610-1318, and you’re talking to someone who can actually get a crew moving.

Our Roofing Services in Melissa

Melissa’s housing stock is almost entirely 2010s and 2020s tract homes built by national production builders like D.R. Horton and Lennar, plus a growing number of custom homes on one-to-five-acre lots. Each setup creates different roof problems, so we scope them differently. Here’s what we handle most often in 75454.

Roof Repair

Roof repair in Melissa runs $400 to $1,800 for most residential calls. What we see most often isn’t missing shingles. It’s step flashing at roof-to-wall junctions that has torn because the slab beneath the house shifted and racked the framing. On a 2018 D.R. Horton home off Milrany Lane, we found the east eave had drifted 3/4 inch out of plane by the time we tore off the old shingles. That’s a Melissa problem, not a generic roofing problem. We re-flashed every penetration, replaced the underlayment, and documented each change order so the homeowner could hand a clean file to their insurer.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full replacement in Melissa runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and what we find under the old shingles. Because so many Melissa homes sit on expansive clay, we always check truss alignment before we install the new deck. If the framing has moved, we correct it now, in writing, with your sign-off. Waiting until the new shingles are down to mention it is how you end up with a warranty that doesn’t mean anything.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation in Melissa runs $15,000 to $40,000. We’re installing more standing seam on acreage properties where homeowners plan to stay 20 or 30 years. Metal handles the North Texas freeze cycle better than composition, and it shrugs off the hail that keeps the insurance adjusters busy every spring. But it only performs if the underlayment and flashing are done right, on a deck that’s actually square. We inspect and correct before we lay a single panel.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing in Melissa is less common than in McKinney or Fairview, but the ones we do are almost always on custom builds east of the railroad tracks, where the lots widen out. Tile repair runs $600 to $2,500. The failure mode here isn’t the tile itself: it’s the valley flashing underneath, which flexes every time the clay soils move through a wet spring into a dry August. When you’re on a tile roof replacing flashing, the margin for error is small, and the guy doing it needs to understand what the deck underneath is doing. We do.

Trusted Brands We Service in Melissa

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and we don’t apologize for being picky about what goes on your house. These are materials you can look up. Around Melissa, we’re also seeing more homeowners request specific underlayment and gutter systems from brands like Oldcastle, especially on acreage lots where drainage is already a headache. We keep the parts local, which means less waiting when a repair needs to happen before the next storm rolls through. If you’ve got a warranty claim on a GAF or CertainTeed roof, we’ll handle the inspection and the paperwork with the manufacturer.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Melissa Homes

Melissa’s growth pattern created a specific set of roof issues. Here’s what we see on a regular basis:

• Step flashing tears at roof-to-wall junctions. Slab heave from the Blackland Prairie clay racks the framing and opens gaps that the builder’s original flashing was never designed to bridge. Water gets behind the flashing and rots the sheathing.
• Under-engineered lot drainage overwhelming gutters. Much of Melissa’s newest development was platted on former farm fields with minimal legacy drainage. Water sheets across multiple lots toward the back fence line, and the fascia on the back elevation takes the hit. Soffit rot follows.
• Hail claims that don’t cover what’s actually broken. North Texas storms produce hail claims that get approved with allowances that won’t cover Melissa’s required ice-and-water shield upgrade or the broken truss repairs found only after tear-off. We document everything so you can go back to your adjuster with real numbers.
• Builders using code-minimum materials on new roofs. Production builders in 75454 install what’s cheapest and passes inspection on day one. The original step flashing on many 2010s-era Melissa homes is the thinnest gauge that meets code, and it’s already failed. We replace it with heavier material that won’t tear when the house moves.
