AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Pacific Grove
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve spotted a water stain on a ceiling, heard something skittering across the shingles at night, or gotten a roof inspection report back with words like “end of service life.” In Pacific Grove, the fog does not just sit on the roof, it works on it. We know because we’ve been pulling back layers of cedar shake and asphalt shingle on homes along Lighthouse Avenue, David Avenue, and the streets off Ocean View Boulevard for years. Roof repair in Pacific Grove typically runs $400-$1,800, and a full roof replacement generally falls between $8,000 and $20,000. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the roof and give you a straight answer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pacific Grove’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews today. You’ll see a Barrett name on the truck, not a dispatcher’s phone number from two states away. We’re not a franchise and we don’t swap crews between cities. The same people who quote your roof are the ones who nail it down.
Pacific Grove homeowners call us because they’ve already been through the other version: a national outfit that quotes one price over the phone, then walks the property and hands over a different number. We put every scope, every allowance, and every change order in writing before a single nail moves. That’s not a sales line. It’s how we’ve done it for 29 years.
Our Roofing crew works on homes across the Monterey Peninsula, and Pacific Grove jobs get the same attention as the ones ten minutes away. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. If you want to look up Tom Barrett’s license number before you sign anything, go ahead. He publishes it.
Our Roofing Services in Pacific Grove
Roof Repair in Pacific Grove
Most repairs start with a leak. The marine layer rolls in off the bay and hangs over the peninsula for weeks at a time, which means small gaps in flashing or worn sealant around vents and skylights get wet and stay wet. We trace the leak to the source, which is rarely where the water shows up inside. A typical roof repair in Pacific Grove runs $400-$1,800 depending on the flashing, decking, and shingle work involved.
Roof Replacement & Installation in Pacific Grove
Full roof replacement across Pacific Grove most often lands between $8,000 and $20,000. When we replace a roof here, we check what’s underneath. Victorian-era cottages and Craftsman bungalows built in the early 1900s often have decking that has never been fully exposed, and we’ll find surprises like single-wall framing or missing shear panels once the old roof comes off. That gets addressed before new materials go on, with a written change order if the scope shifts. If you’re considering larger changes to the structure, we also handle Pacific Grove Home Additions & ADU projects with the same attention to hidden conditions.
Metal Roofing in Pacific Grove
Standing seam metal is one of the more popular choices for Pacific Grove homes near the water, and for good reason. Salt-laden fog is relentless on fasteners and flashing, and a properly installed metal roof sheds that moisture better than most asphalt products. Metal roof installation in Pacific Grove typically runs $15,000-$40,000. We install standing seam systems with marine-grade fasteners rated for coastal exposure.
Tile Roofing in Pacific Grove
Barrel tile shows up on a lot of the Spanish-influenced homes along the peninsula, and tile roof repair in Pacific Grove usually costs $600-$2,500. The trick with tile is walking it without cracking it. Our crew knows the roof pitches on the older homes near Asilomar and along the streets west of Lighthouse Avenue, and we stage work so we’re not causing more damage than we fix.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Pacific Grove Homes
- Fog-driven fastener corrosion. The exposed tip of the Monterey Peninsula gets salt-laden fog nearly year-round, and metal flashing and fasteners oxidize faster here than a few miles inland. We see rusted drip edge and failing pipe boots on roofs that are only seven or eight years old.
- Wood rot around eaves and rakes. West- and north-facing roof edges on Monterey pines and cottages take the brunt of the wet fog. When gutters clog with pine needles, water backs up against fascia boards and rots them out behind the shingles.
- Victorian-era decking surprises. On the older homes along streets like Laurel Avenue and Pine Avenue, the original roof decking is often spaced sheathing or thin boards never meant for modern materials. When we strip an old roof, we often find decking that needs replacement before new underlayment goes down.
- Flat and low-slope roof ponding. Some of the bungalow additions built mid-century have low-slope sections over back porches and sunrooms. Standing water collects after fog-drip cycles, and the membrane eventually fails. We match the repair to the existing system and make sure drainage actually drains.
