AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Parkway
If you live in Parkway and your roof is leaking after a Sacramento Valley storm, or the summer heat has turned your shingles brittle, you need a roofer who knows 95823. Barrett & Sons Construction has been replacing and repairing roofs in Parkway’s 1970s and 80s tract homes long enough to know what the clay soil, triple-digit summers, and winter rain cycles do to a roof deck. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, and every job gets a written scope, a written change order if anything shifts, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Parkway’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re the name-on-the-truck crew, not a national outfit that quotes one price and shows up with another. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’s been doing that since 1998. Parkway homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they got burned by a company that said the job would cost one amount, then handed them a different bill. That doesn’t happen here. Before any scope change touches your roof, you get a written change order. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why every eligible Parkway job gets permits pulled and inspections signed.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the Barrett & Sons name. They’re Tom’s sons and their teams, not dispatched strangers. When you call, a live person answers 24/7, not an out-of-state call center. And because dispatch and scheduling run from our Sacramento office, we can get a crew to Parkway quickly when a storm tears through the Cosumnes River corridor at the south end of 95823.
Our Roofing Services in Parkway
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Parkway typically runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what’s failed. We see a lot of flashing failures around chimneys and vents on the 1970s-era ranch homes here, along with shingle blow-offs after the winter windstorms that come through the Valley. A small leak over a bedroom can rot decking fast if it sits through a wet February. We’ll find the actual source, not just patch the stain on the ceiling.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on a typical Parkway tract home runs $8,000 to $20,000 based on square footage, pitch, and what’s under the old shingles. The post-1965 ranch stock in this neighborhood usually has one or two layers of old shingle that need full tear-off before we can inspect the decking. We write the material allowances on paper before work starts, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing in Parkway runs $15,000 to $40,000. Standing seam metal handles the 105°F summer heat without baking the way asphalt does, and it sheds rain cleanly during the winter storm cycles that hit the flat, low-lying sections of 95823. If you’re tired of replacing shingles every fifteen years, metal is worth a hard look.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair here runs $600 to $2,500. Parkway has a mix of original composition shingle homes and a smaller number of clay and concrete tile roofs, especially on the larger ranch properties near the southern edge of the neighborhood. Barrel tile cracks under foot traffic and thermal cycling, and a cracked tile can hide a leak for months before it shows on the ceiling.

Trusted Brands We Service in Parkway
We install GAF and CertainTeed shingles on most Parkway replacements, plus standing seam metal from manufacturers we’ve worked with for years. You can look these brands up yourself before you sign anything, and we’ll show you the cut sheets. We also service what’s already on your roof, so if you have an existing tile or metal system that needs work, we’ll match it as closely as the current market allows. For driveway or paver work on the same property, we also handle Fence Installation in Parkway using Belgard and Techo-Bloc products.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Parkway Homes
- Clay-soil settlement cracking the roof line. The expansive clay under Parkway’s 1970s and 80s slabs heaves and settles with the wet-dry cycle, and that movement shows up as ridge-line separation and cracked drywall at ceiling corners before it shows as a roof leak.
- Old single-pane skylights and roof penetrations leaking. These ranch homes were built with minimal flashing detail around plumbing vents, attic vents, and the occasional original skylight. Twenty years of Sacramento UV breaks the sealant down, and winter rain finds the gap.
- Brittle shingles from triple-digit summer heat. The Sacramento Valley regularly exceeds 105°F, and asphalt shingles on an unshaded Parkway roof bake hard and lose their granule surface years faster than coastal California roofs.
- Poor drainage on low-lying lots. Parkway sits on flat topography near the Cosumnes River corridor, and roofs with insufficient slope or clogged gutters hold water long enough to creep under shingle courses and into the fascia.
Pricing for Roofing in Parkway, CA
Here’s what you’re looking at in Parkway: roof repair runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs. A full roof replacement on a standard single-story ranch runs $8,000 to $20,000. Metal roofing starts around $15,000 and goes to $40,000 depending on the panel profile and the roof’s complexity. Tile roof repair lands between $600 and $2,500. What moves the number is the condition of the decking once we tear off the old material, the roof’s pitch, and whether you’re in a part of 95823 with low-slope sections that need membrane work. We give free estimates, we put the numbers in writing, and if the scope changes, you get a written change order before any work happens. No surprises at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Roofing in Parkway
We answer the phone live 24/7 and can usually get a crew to Parkway the same day when there’s storm damage or an active leak. Because our scheduling runs through the Sacramento office, you’re not waiting on a national dispatch center. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of the sons will pick up. There’s no trip charge inside the county, and we carry $40 off any repair over $200.
Yes, we work throughout the 95823 zip code, including the ranch developments along Florin Road, the streets near the Cosumnes River corridor at the south end, and the older conventional-slab homes throughout the unincorporated county portion. If you’re in Parkway, we’ll come look at your roof, and we know the county permit process here well enough to quote the lead time accurately.
Parkway is unincorporated Sacramento County, meaning all roof permits, plan checks, and inspections run through Sacramento County’s Building Inspection Division, not the City of Sacramento. That’s a distinction a lot of contractors who mostly work in city neighborhoods get wrong, and it adds scheduling time that out-of-area crews don’t always quote for. We pull county permits on every eligible Parkway job and coordinate the inspections ourselves.
It’s not usually more; it’s that the wear cycle is different. Parkway’s summers exceed 105°F, and the winter brings sustained rain and occasional Cosumnes River flooding, which ages shingles, flashing, and decking faster than a mild coastal climate would. When we tear off old material on a 1970s ranch here, we often find decking damage from clay-soil movement or years of trapped moisture, and that adds legitimate work the original quote didn’t anticipate. We put it in a written change order before we proceed, so the price never moves without your signature.
Every roofing job we do in Parkway carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Manufacturer warranties from GAF and CertainTeed run separately and we’ll register them in your name. The promise isn’t buried in fine print; it’s on the same page as your scope and price.
If your Parkway roof is leaking, aging out, or you just want a straight answer on cost, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll send someone out for a free estimate, put the numbers in writing, and if you want a second opinion on any written estimate you already have, we’ll give that free too. Tom Barrett lives twenty minutes away; if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
