The work usually takes three to seven days for a full replacement depending on decking condition.

Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for actual on-site conditions, not a generic zip-code guess.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Oak Hills’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and still climbs ladders. His sons run the crews. When you call about your roof in Oak Hills, you get a live person on the phone at (877) 610-1318, not an out-of-state call center. We coordinate from our Inland Empire office, but the crew that shows up in Oak Hills knows the difference between a roof on Mesquite Street and one up near the equestrian parcels off of Caughlin Road.
Oak Hills homeowners talk to each other. They compare notes at the feed store, at the hardware store, at the school pickup line. That’s how we’ve built our reputation here - by pulling permits the county expects, by writing change orders before we touch anything unexpected, and by standing behind the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise that’s actually printed on the contract. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number for a reason.
Our Roofing Services in Oak Hills
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Oak Hills runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs, though the final number depends on what we find once the tiles come up. The freeze-thaw cycling here means cracked flashing, lifted tiles, and failed sealant at penetrations are the most common failures we see. We repair the problem, photograph everything, and price any scope change in writing before we proceed. A small leak left alone over one Oak Hills winter becomes a decking replacement by spring.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Oak Hills runs $8,000 to $20,000. That range covers tear-off, decking repair where needed, new underlayment, and your choice of quality roofing material. On late-1980s through 2010s custom homes, we routinely find the original underlayment deteriorated far beyond what an inspection from the ground would show. We budget for that reality upfront and keep any additional decking removal on written change orders, approved before we touch the subfloor.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Oak Hills runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on panel profile, gauge, and whether you choose a standing seam system. A standing seam metal roof handles High Desert freeze-thaw cycling better than almost any material, and it shrugs off the summer monsoon downpours that hit unincorporated San Bernardino County between July and September. We install GAF metal systems and other premium brands you can look up yourself.
Tile Roofing
Oak Hills has a lot of barrel tile roofs, particularly on the larger-lot custom homes built from the late 1980s onward. Tile roof repair here runs $600 to $2,500, and the most common cause of failure is underlayment degradation, not broken tile. The tile itself can last decades. The felt underneath cannot, especially when single-digit winter nights and 105-degree summer days bake the membrane through twenty-plus freeze-thaw cycles a year. We remove tile, replace the underlayment with modern peel-and-stick membrane, and reset the tile with proper fasteners.

Trusted Brands We Service in Oak Hills
We stock and service GAF roofing products for Oak Hills customers, and we carry the underlayment, flashing, and fastener systems those warranties require. When you have a warranty claim, you want a contractor whose material choices are documented and defensible. We don’t put mystery brands off a van on your roof. If we install it, you’ll know the manufacturer, the product line, and the warranty terms before the first tile comes off.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Oak Hills Homes
- Dried and cracked underlayment. Oak Hills sits at roughly 3,000 feet, and the UV exposure combined with winter hard freezes breaks down standard felt underlayment years before the tile above it shows any wear. We open up roofs and find membrane that crumbles in our hands.
- Ice dams at roof edges. Single-digit winter nights create ice dams where meltwater refreezes at the eave, forcing moisture under the tile underlayment and into fascia boards. Lower-desert towns like Hesperia rarely see this, so out-of-area contractors don’t plan for it.
- Unpermitted roof-over-roof jobs. In the 1990s, some Oak Hills homes got a second roof layer nailed over the original without a county permit. Trapped moisture between those layers delaminates decking that fails suddenly during summer monsoon downpours.
- Loose rafter-to-plate connections. Caliche-driven soil movement shifts the foundation subtly over time, and that movement travels up through the walls. Rafter-to-plate connections loosen, ridge lines sag, and roofs that looked fine five years ago start opening at the seams.

FAQs - Roofing in Oak Hills
Yes. Oak Hills is unincorporated county land, so all roofing permits run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services rather than a city building department like Hesperia’s. The county route sometimes takes longer and sometimes triggers additional review requirements for properties on private wells or septic systems. We pull permits on every eligible job and coordinate inspections directly, so you don’t have to navigate the county counter alone. Call (877) 610-1318 to ask about your specific parcel.
Freeze-thaw cycling at 3,000 feet destroys standard felt underlayment years faster than the milder winters in Hesperia, which sits roughly 1,000 feet lower. Water that gets under tile expands when it freezes, and those repeated cycles crack, lift, and delaminate the membrane. We specify high-quality peel-and-stick underlayment on Oak Hills roofs for exactly this reason, and we’ll show you the difference in the written scope before we start.
Call us for a free inspection. The county will want the new roof permitted, and we handle that end-to-end, including pulling the permit through San Bernardino County Land Use Services and scheduling inspections. If the original roof had unpermitted layers added later, we’ll document what we find and price the correction in writing before any work proceeds. That way the finished roof is code-compliant and lender-ready. Reach us at (877) 610-1318.
Caliche doesn’t touch the roof directly, but the same hardpan layer that makes excavation expensive also causes subtle foundation movement over time. That movement transfers upward through the framing and loosens rafter-to-plate connections, which can cause sagging ridge lines and gaps at exterior walls. When we replace a roof on an Oak Hills home, we check those connections and price any necessary framing repairs before the new roof goes on.
Yes. We regularly work on the larger-lot equestrian properties off roads like Caughlin Road, where accessory structures are part of the picture. The county permit will address the residence and any attached or detached structures that need roofing. We price each structure separately with line-item scope, and the written change order process applies to barns and arenas exactly as it does to the main house. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on the full parcel.
How Caliche, Freeze-Thaw, and County Permits Shape Every Oak Hills Roof
Here’s what most roofing pages won’t tell you about Oak Hills. The same caliche hardpan that makes digging a footer a half-day jackhammer job also foreshadows roofing challenges up top. Freeze-thaw cycles at 3,000 feet mean tile and metal roofs here must resist snow loads and wide temperature swings that lower-desert neighbors like Hesperia never face. When we opened up the roof on a late-90s equestrian property off of Caughlin Road, our crew found the original underlayment dried and cracked from two decades of High Desert UV and winter hard freezes. Water had wicked under the barrel tiles and rotted the OSB decking in three bays. We wrote the removal and decking replacement into a change order before touching the subfloor, and the homeowner signed off the same afternoon. The new peel-and-stick membrane under the tile now carries the freeze-thaw cycling that used to destroy the old felt every few winters.
That’s the difference between a Barrett & Sons roof and a bid sight-unseen. We probe for the conditions that actually exist on your parcel. We price them in writing. Then we build a roof that handles what Oak Hills throws at it. Tom Barrett and his sons are on-site most days. The permit inspector works for you, not for us - that’s why we like him. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens.
