We answer the phone at (877) 610-1318, and our crews headed by Tom Barrett’s sons know the difference between a quick patch and a roof that needs real structural attention.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Old Fig Garden’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and he’s been showing up on Old Fig Garden driveways ever since. Homeowners here don’t want a salesman with a tablet showing them financing options. They want a contractor who will walk the roof, look at the flashing, and tell them honestly whether they can get five more years out of what’s up there or whether it’s time. That’s what we do. No pressure, no inflated scare tactics.

Old Fig Garden is a neighborhood where people talk. They ask their neighbors who did their roof. They check the license number. Tom publishes his license number, his address, and his name. Anyone in the 93704 zip code can look it up before signing anything. We’ve earned our reputation the slow way, one roof at a time, and we’ve earned it on some of the oldest and most demanding homes in Fresno County.

Calls to Barrett & Sons are answered by a live person, day or night. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. If you call from Old Fig Garden about a roof leak that started during a Tule fog inversion, someone picks up. And Tom’s sons run the crews, so the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is very likely the same person who walks your roof.

Our Roofing Services in Old Fig Garden

Roof Repair

Most Old Fig Garden roof problems start small: a cracked tile near the gable, flashing that pulled away around a chimney, or a valley that’s been holding oak leaves and moisture all winter. Roof repair in Old Fig Garden typically runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what’s actually wrong up there. We never sell a replacement when a repair will do, and we’ve saved a lot of 1930s tile roofs from premature tear-off by catching problems early.

Roof Replacement & Installation

When replacement is the right call, Old Fig Garden homeowners face a decision that tract-home owners don’t. Your roof may sit on a 1928 Tudor with original framing spacing and a profile that matters to the street. Roof replacement in Old Fig Garden generally runs $8,000 to $20,000, but the honest spread is wide because every roof up here is different. We respect the architecture. A new roof should look like it belongs on the house, not like it was air-dropped from a newer subdivision in Clovis.

Metal Roofing

Some Old Fig Garden homeowners are choosing standing seam metal for its fire resistance and the way it handles the valley’s summer sun without breaking down the way asphalt does. Metal roof installation in Old Fig Garden runs $15,000 to $40,000. The visual profile matters on these older estates, so Tom walks through samples and panel widths with you before anything gets ordered. No surprises, no change orders that show up after the tear-off starts.

Tile Roofing

The clay barrel tile on many Old Fig Garden Spanish Colonial Revival homes is part of what makes the neighborhood look the way it does. Tile roof repair in Old Fig Garden typically runs $600 to $2,500, and we match existing tile profiles and colors as closely as the original manufacturer’s current offerings allow. If you’ve got cracked original tile and a water stain in an upstairs bedroom ceiling, call us before the next hard rain. We’ll tell you what can be saved and what genuinely can’t.

Trusted Brands We Service in Old Fig Garden

We stock GAF and CertainTeed roofing materials and keep common accessory parts available for the tile profiles most often found on Old Fig Garden homes. If you have a barrel tile that’s cracked through and a storm system moving toward the San Joaquin Valley, we don’t want you waiting three weeks for a special order. We also work with Quikrete and Oldcastle products on flashing and roof-adjacent masonry, and we’re happy to show you the exact material specs before any work begins.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Old Fig Garden Homes

• Original clay tile degradation: Many 1920s-1940s Spanish Colonial homes still have their original tile, and after 80 to 100 years of valley heat, some of it is simply done. Tiles crack, spall, and lose their glaze, and small cracks become roof leaks in Old Fig Garden’s winter rain.
• Valley and flashing failures from leaf and debris buildup: The neighborhood’s massive fig trees, valley oaks, and mature camphor trees drop leaves, fruit, and twigs onto roofs all year. Debris piles up in valleys and behind chimneys, holding moisture against flashing until it corrodes. This is one of the most common, and most preventable, Roofing issues we see in the 93704 area.
• Heat and UV damage to underlayment: Summer temperatures in Old Fig Garden routinely exceed 100°F, and those conditions cook roofing underlayment over time. By the time tiles look worn, the underlayment beneath them may already be brittle, which is why a visual inspection from the ground tells only half the story.
• Original roof framing shifting: Early pier-and-beam foundations in Old Fig Garden homes settle and shift over decades, and that small movement transmits up through walls and into roof lines. Hairline cracks in interior plaster near the ceiling often trace back to roof framing that’s moved with the house. We check structure before we touch surface material.
