Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re the owner-operated crew your neighbors in North Palm Beach call when a national outfit quoted one price on the phone and handed over a different number at the door. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. His sons run the crews. If something’s wrong, Tom lives twenty minutes away and wants to know about it.
Our Roofing team has worked along the Intracoastal corridor long enough to know that a 1968 ranch on a finger canal is a different job than a 1995 home off Prosperity Farms Road. The salt air eats fasteners differently. The flat sections pond differently. And the permit office treats them differently. That local knowledge shows up in the scope we write and the price we stand behind. Every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Background-checked crew members show up in uniform, every permit gets pulled, and every inspection gets signed. We answer our own phone, day or night. That’s not marketing language. That’s how we’ve operated since 1998.
Our Roofing Services in North Palm Beach
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in North Palm Beach usually means opening decking that hasn’t seen daylight since Lyndon Johnson was in office. On homes built before 1970, we routinely find missing uplift straps and tie-downs that current code requires before new roofing goes on. We write the structural work into the scope, price it, and get your written approval before we proceed. No surprise invoices at the end.
Roof Leak Repair
Most leaks we chase in North Palm Beach start at roof penetrations and edges where salt-laden air has been quietly eating galvanized flashing for 15 years. By the time you see the ceiling stain, the metal’s usually gone. We trace the leak, show you what we found, and quote the fix in writing. Roof leak repair typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on how far the corrosion traveled.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
If you’re replacing a low-slope roof along the lagoon and want something that won’t fight the salt air every decade, standing seam metal is worth a hard look. In North Palm Beach, a standing seam metal roof runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof’s complexity and whether the decking below needs structural work first. The seams lock water out, and the coating stands up to coastal exposure far longer than standard flashing assemblies.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile looks right on a mid-century North Palm Beach ranch, but the weight and wind-uplift requirements change what’s under it. Tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500. A full tile roof replacement often means reinforcing the existing framing to carry the load under current wind codes. We inspect first, then write the scope, including any structural reinforcement, before we touch the roof.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We install and repair GAF roof systems on North Palm Beach homes, and we keep common flashing, underlayment, and sealant stock on hand so a leak repair isn’t waiting on a parts run from Miami. If you’ve got an existing GAF roof or want one spec’d for coastal wind uplift, we’ll quote it with the exact product names so you can look them up yourself.
Common Roofing Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on fasteners and flashing: Homes within a few blocks of the Lake Worth Lagoon see premature rust on roof penetrations within 10-15 years. The leak shows up long after the metal gave out.
- Ponding water on original low-slope sections: Those 1960s flat roofs were built with undersized drainage scuppers. Today’s rainfall intensity ponds water, delaminates membranes, and creeps into the house.
- Missing uplift straps on pre-1970 framing: A permit-triggered re-roof often reveals that the rafters were never tied down to current code. The roof can’t go on until the structure is brought up, and we price that work in writing before it starts.
- Jalousie windows that fail impact rules: Once a permitted roof job crosses certain cost thresholds under Florida’s substantial-improvement rules, adjacent openings can trigger the same impact-resistance requirement. We’ll flag it early so you’re not surprised.

FAQs - Roofing in North Palm Beach
Many of the original canal-front homes in North Palm Beach were built on fill lots with shallow footings that predate modern soil-bearing requirements. When a permitted roofing scope opens up structural framing or triggers substantial-improvement thresholds, the footing condition often falls under review. On waterfront lots especially, helical pier underpinning or grade-beam work becomes necessary before the new roof assembly can be signed off. We coordinate the geotechnical report and the engineer, and we write that scope into the contract before any work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain what applies to your specific lot.
Palm Beach County’s coastal design wind speed mandates uplift-rated roof assemblies, specific nailing patterns, and impact-rated underlayment that inland homes don’t require. A standard shingle roof isn’t enough for a permitted job here. We spec GAF systems rated for the high-velocity hurricane zone and install to the uplift requirements the permit office expects. The material itself matters, but so does every strap, tie-down, and fastener holding it down.
It’s often both. The original drainage scuppers on many North Palm Beach flat sections are undersized for today’s rainfall intensity, so water ponds longer than the membrane was designed to handle. That leads to delamination and interior damage. When we replace the section, current code may also require larger scuppers or tapered insulation to improve drainage. We’ll show you exactly what’s failing and price the fix in writing.
Not automatically, but it’s common. If the permitted roof scope crosses cost thresholds under Florida’s substantial-improvement rules, adjacent openings may have to meet current impact-resistance standards. Original jalousie windows rarely do. We flag that possibility during the estimate so you can decide whether to phase the windows or fold them into the same permitted job. The key is knowing before you sign, not after the inspector shows up.
Coastal uplift requirements and salt-air material specs push the number up. A standing seam metal roof in North Palm Beach runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof’s complexity, the decking’s condition, and whether structural reinforcement is required before installation. The fasteners and coatings rated for the lagoon corridor cost more than what’s used ten miles inland. We quote the exact system, not a mystery brand off a van. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate.
What Opening Up a North Palm Beach Roof Actually Turns Up
North Palm Beach’s original 1960s-70s CBS ranch homes were built with low-slope or flat roof sections and shallow footings on fill lots along finger canals. Today, any permitted roofing scope triggers Palm Beach County’s 170+ mph high-velocity hurricane zone uplift requirements. So a simple re-roof often becomes a structural upgrade with helical pier underpinning or grade-beam work that wouldn’t be needed a few miles inland. That triple overlay of wind, flood, and salt-air codes is the single biggest reason a roofing quote moves between the first phone call and the final scope. It’s also why we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price every surprise before we touch it.
On a canal-front home in the village’s original master-planned grid, our crew opened up a 1972 low-slope roof to find corroded galvanized flashing and decking eaten by decades of salt-laden air from the Lake Worth Lagoon. We wrote the scope of work to include full uplift-rated strapping, impact-rated underlayment, and a change order for replacing rotted fascia, all priced and approved in writing before we touched a single shingle. Final inspection sign-off confirmed the higher wind-load assembly. That’s how we handle every North Palm Beach roof: inspection first, scope in writing, surprises approved before the nail moves.
