AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Palm Beach
If you live in Palm Beach, you already know the island plays by its own set of rules. Salt air chews through standard flashing within a few years. ARCOM holds every exterior change to a standard most contractors have never had to meet. And a roof that looks fine from the street can be hiding rusted fasteners, cracked barrel tiles, or a slow leak that’s been working its way into your ceilings since the last hurricane season. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked inside those rules for years. We understand that Roofing in Palm Beach is not a commodity job here. It’s a permit-sensitive, detail-driven trade where the wrong product choice gets rejected at review and the right one lasts decades. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come walk the roof with you.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he runs it the same way today: his name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and every job gets a written change order before anything moves. That matters in a town where a single ARCOM resubmission can stall a roofing project for two months. You need a contractor who documents everything, communicates without being chased, and knows exactly what the Architectural Commission will ask before they ask it. We’re not the cheapest bid in Palm Beach, and we’ve never tried to be-whether it’s a roof or driveway & pavers. We quote one price in writing, pull the permit, pass the inspection, and stand behind the finished roof with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Tom Barrett publishes his name, license number, and business address. Look us up before you sign anything.
Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call about a leak on a Sunday evening, you get a person, not a voicemail box. That’s how we’ve always operated. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll hear a voice on our end.
Our Roofing Services in Palm Beach
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Palm Beach runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs, and the most common issues we see are cracked barrel tiles, lifted ridge caps, and corroded flashing around chimneys and skylights. Salt exposure accelerates every one of those failures. We repair the root cause, not just the visible damage. If a leak shows up on your ceiling, we trace it to the source before we quote the repair.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on the island runs $8,000-$20,000 for most homes, though estate-scale projects with complex geometries or ARCOM-mandated materials can exceed that range. We handle the full sequence: ARCOM submittal support, demolition, decking inspection, underlayment, material installation, and final inspection sign-off. For homes along South Ocean Boulevard or the streets off Worth Avenue where staging space barely exists, we coordinate logistics that keep the job moving without blocking your neighbors. No surprises: every scope line is in writing, every allowance in writing, and every change order lands on paper before work proceeds.
Metal Roofing
A standing seam metal roof in Palm Beach runs $15,000-$40,000, and it’s a strong choice for oceanfront properties because it handles salt air far better than asphalt shingles. The catch is that ARCOM reviews metal roofing applications carefully, especially on older estates where the original roof was clay tile or slate. We prepare the submittal with the right product specifications, the right finish, and the right fasteners. Palm Beach is a high-velocity wind zone. We use stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware throughout because standard fasteners fail prematurely out here. That’s not an upgrade we offer; it’s the only way we install.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile repair in Palm Beach runs $600-$2,500 depending on the extent of the damage and whether matching tiles are still in production. Many homes on the island were built between the 1920s and 1960s with original clay barrel tiles that simply are not made anymore. Let that sink in: if your tile is broken, the town’s architectural standards often require like-for-like replacement, and the original manufacturer may be long gone. We source matching salvaged tiles or have them custom-run when necessary. Our Roofing team has done this enough times to know which local salvage yards and specialty suppliers carry what. This is one of those details that separates a contractor who works in Palm Beach from one who drives over the bridge once.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We install and repair GAF and CertainTeed roof systems, plus standing seam metal profiles from manufacturers we’ve vetted over the years. For hardscape-adjacent roofing details like roof decks, drain grates, and exterior stair landings, we specify Belgard and Techo-Bloc products where the job calls for them. We keep common flashing profiles, sealants, and tile adhesives on hand for Palm Beach jobs so a repair is not waiting on a warehouse in Orlando. When you call with a roof leak on a Tuesday, we don’t want to tell you we’ll be back Thursday because a part is shipping. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what we carry and what we’ll need to order. Straight answer, either way.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded flashing around chimneys, skylights, and parapets. The salt air here works on galvanized steel faster than inland homeowners would believe. We replace it with stainless or copper and add a proper weep system where the old detail failed.
- Cracked or spalled barrel tiles. Island homes from the 1920s-1940s Addison Mizner era often have original clay tiles. One cracked tile can let water into the underlayment, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the substrate is already saturated.
- Wind-lifted ridge caps and hip tiles. Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity wind zone. Ridge caps that were never mechanically fastened get peeled back during tropical storms. We re-set them with the proper adhesive and mechanical fasteners.
- Leaks at roof penetrations around the Intracoastal side. The wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal hits eastern-facing roof planes hard. Flashing details that work on a suburban ranch fail on a three-story Mizner estate. We rebuild them the way the original architect intended.
Pricing for Roofing in Palm Beach, FL
A roof repair in Palm Beach runs $400-$1,800. A full roof replacement runs $8,000-$20,000 for most island homes. Metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000, and tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500. The biggest cost drivers here are ARCOM review cycles, material availability for like-for-like replacements, and the tight staging conditions on lots along Worth Avenue and South Ocean Boulevard. You’ll pay more for a roof on this island than you would in West Palm Beach, and the reasons are real: the permitting process is longer, the material standards are stricter, and the labor pool that understands both is smaller. We offer free estimates. No trip charge inside the county. And if you already have a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.
