Roofing in Richardson - Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Richardson

Roof replacement in Richardson typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard composition shingle tear-off on a mid-century ranch, while targeted roof repairs fall between $400 and $1,800 depending on what failed and how far the damage has traveled. Most repair jobs in the 75080 and 75081 ZIP codes involve flashing failures at brick-veneer junctions or storm damage from spring hailstorms, and we can usually have a crew scheduled within the week. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett or one of his sons will walk you through what’s actually happening on your roof, not what a call center script says.

Call (877) 610-1318

We’re the Roofing team that understands Richardson’s split personality: mid-century ranch homes on expansive clay to the west, and aging Telecom Corridor office low-rises to the east. Both have their own failure modes, and both require a contractor who’s seen them fail before. You won’t get a trainee with a tablet. You’ll get a crew that has worked lots like yours in this city, on this soil, under this weather.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Richardson’s Preferred Roofing Company

We’ve been owner-operated since 1998, and the owner’s name is on the truck and on the contract. Tom Barrett doesn’t franchise out work to strangers. His sons run the crews, and a live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 at 2 a.m. if that’s when your ceiling starts dripping. The homeowners we work for in Richardson tend to be in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Many have already been burned by a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and delivered a different invoice at the door. We get hired because our pricing arrives in writing before work starts, and every change order is printed and signed before a single nail moves.

Richardson homeowners also check up on us, which we encourage. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly how we like it. On every eligible job in Richardson, permits get pulled and inspections get signed. That’s not optional comfort language. That’s the way the building department in this city expects it done, and we agree with them.

Response time to Richardson neighborhoods like Canyon Creek, Prairie Creek, and the Heights is usually same week for repairs and within two to three weeks for full tear-offs, depending on material lead times. We coordinate directly, not through a dispatch center in another state. When one of our crews is on a 1960s ranch in 75081, the lead running that job knows the house type, the soil underneath it, and what the brick-to-eave transition is going to look like before the first ladder goes up.

Our Roofing Services in Richardson

Roof Replacement & Installation

Full roof replacement on a Richardson mid-century ranch is a different animal than new construction in a master-planned suburb. The western ZIP codes, 75080 and 75081, are dense with ranch-style brick-veneer homes built between 1955 and 1980. Many still sit on original post-tension or conventional slabs, and the Blackland Prairie clay under them shrinks and heaves with seasonal moisture. That movement travels up through the framing and stresses the roof-to-wall connections. We replace those roofs with the understanding that the junction between roofing and masonry is the first place failure shows up. Every replacement includes re-flashing at brick transitions, inspection of fascia and top plate condition, and ice-and-water shield along eaves and intersections where wind-driven rain has a habit of finding its way in.

Roof Leak Repair

Roof leak repair in Richardson often comes down to a failed flashing detail, not missing shingles. On 1960s and 1970s brick-veneer homes, the gap between roofline and brick was flashed with materials that nearing the end of their service life. Add slab movement from the clay soil, and those metal transitions open and close seasonally. We trace the water path from stain to source, pull the affected shingles, replace the flashing, and seal the junction properly. Call (877) 610-1318 with a description of where you see water and Tom can usually tell you over the phone whether it’s a flashing problem, a gutter problem, or something else entirely.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation on a Richardson home runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on roof geometry and whether you’re replacing a tear-off or installing over an existing deck. On the 75082 side of town, with its 1990s and 2000s construction, standing seam metal is an increasingly popular replacement because it handles the hail cycles better than composition. We install standing seam and exposed-fastener systems, and we stock GAF and CertainTeed composition lines for customers who prefer a conventional look. The metal we install gets detailed at penetrations, hips, and valleys with the same care as the shingle work, because metal only performs as well as its weakest seam.

Tile Roofing

Tile roof repair in Richardson runs $600 to $2,500 for barrel tile replacements, cracked tile removal, and underlayment patching. The older neighborhoods around Richardson have a fair number of Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes with barrel tile that’s now 40-plus years old. The tile itself often still looks fine. The underlayment beneath it has failed, which lets water sit against the deck. Repair work means carefully removing tile without damaging adjacent pieces, replacing the underlayment section, and re-bedding the tile. It’s slow, careful work, and it’s the kind of job where hiring someone who’s done it on Richardson homes matters.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richardson

We install GAF composition shingles, CertainTeed lines, and standing seam metal systems from manufacturers who stand behind their product. The brand on the shingle matters less than the detail work underneath it, but we don’t install mystery materials off the back of a van. For Richardson homeowners who want to look up what’s going on their roof before signing, GAF’s specifications and warranty documentation are public and easy to verify. We also carry the flashing, underlayment, and ventilation components those systems require, so a repair doesn’t stall because someone forgot to order a drip edge in the right color.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Richardson Homes

• Flashing failure at brick-veneer junctions: The 1960s and 1970s ranch homes in 75080 and 75081 were flashed with metals that have now outlived their corrosion resistance. Seasonal clay slab movement opens the gaps wider, and wind-driven rain rides right into the wall cavity.
• Wind-driven rain at parapet caps on Telecom Corridor offices: The 1980s low-rise buildings along Campbell Road and Renner Road were built with parapet walls and aging cap flashings. When those caps fail, water travels down the wall and pools at the roof-to-wall intersection before the ceiling shows a stain.
• Hail damage on tight-lot homes with constrained access: Spring hailstorms hit Richardson hard. On 75080 lots where side yards run under 5 feet, full tear-off staging becomes a problem. We plan dumpster placement, material storage, and ladder access before we quote, because access changes the price.
• Original gutters on 1970s ranches: The original gutter systems on homes built in the late 1960s and 1970s are typically 5-inch aluminum with outdated hanger spacing. They overflow during heavy downpours, which spills water directly against the fascia and down the brick veneer, accelerating rot at the eaves.
