Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Santa Ana
Roof repair in Santa Ana typically runs $400-$1,800, with full roof replacement on the city’s pre-1960 bungalows and 1950s tract homes ranging $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage and material. Those numbers reflect what we actually see on roofs across Floral Park, French Park, and the neighborhoods east of the 5. If you’re dealing with a leak or damage from the October winds, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett or one of his sons will walk you through what needs to happen next.
We’ve worked on enough Santa Ana roofs to know what’s waiting up there before we climb the ladder: decades of layered patching on original shake, tile that’s shifted during wind events, and valleys that were never flashed correctly on a 1970s addition. The Roofing crew at Barrett & Sons shows up with that local knowledge already in hand, which means the estimate you get is the number you’ll pay.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Santa Ana’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his name on it. He still answers his own phone, and his sons run the crews that work in Santa Ana, Orange, and Tustin. When a Santa Ana homeowner calls about a leak near the chimney flashing, Tom’s the one who gets on the line. Not a call center, not a dispatcher in another state.
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Washington Square and Wilshire Square have called us after getting burned by companies that quoted one number on the phone and delivered a different one at the door. That’s not how we work. Every scope, every material allowance, every change gets written down and signed before work starts. If something shifts mid-project, you’ll see a written change order before a single nail moves.
We publish our name, address, and license number. Look it up. And if something isn’t right after we leave, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract: one call brings Tom back. We also carry a live person on the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because roof leaks in Santa Ana don’t wait for business hours.
Our Roofing Services in Santa Ana
Roof Repair
Small leaks become big problems fast in Santa Ana, especially in the 1920s-1940s craftsman bungalows around French Park and Floral Park, where original framing has settled and shifted over a century. We repair flashing failures, broken tiles, damaged shingles, and valleys that weren’t done right during a previous owner’s handyman patch job. Most repairs run $400-$1,800, and we’ll tell you honestly if a repair is enough or if replacement makes more financial sense before you spend a dime we don’t think you should.

Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Santa Ana generally lands between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on the roof’s complexity, material choice, and whether we’re removing one layer or three. Santa Ana’s older housing stock often means we’re tearing off original cedar shake or brittle 3-tab over skip sheathing, which changes the reroofing approach entirely. Permits get pulled on every eligible job; that’s the difference between a roof that’s legally sound and one an inspector flags when you sell.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Santa Ana runs $15,000-$40,000, and for good reason: a properly installed standing seam metal roof handles the Santa Ana winds better than almost anything else you can put up there. The coastal-adjacent air and fall wind events make corrosion resistance and proper fastening patterns critical. We install metal roofs with the wind-uplift ratings required by Santa Ana’s building code, and we don’t take shortcuts on the underlayment.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs are everywhere in Santa Ana’s older neighborhoods, and tile repair runs $600-$2,500 depending on how many tiles are cracked or shifted. The challenge with tile isn’t usually the tile itself; it’s the old felt underneath that’s been baking since the 1980s. When we repair tile in Santa Ana, we check what’s beneath it. If the underlayment is failing, replacing a few tiles just buys you time until the next October wind.

Trusted Brands We Service in Santa Ana
We carry and install the brands Santa Ana homeowners can look up and verify. On roofs we work primarily with GAF and CertainTeed, but when the job touches windows or exterior features we also handle Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT products. Local parts availability matters in Santa Ana: when a wind event knocks out a section of flashing, you don’t want to wait two weeks for materials. We keep the common parts on hand and source the rest fast, so you’re not living under a tarp longer than necessary.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Santa Ana Homes
- Wind-lifted edges and lost flashing from Santa Ana wind events: Those dry offshore gusts in October and November regularly peel back shingle edges and expose flashing on the older homes east of Bristol. We schedule roof inspections before wind season because catching a lifted edge in September costs far less than replacing sheathing after the winter rains.
- Deteriorating underlayment on 1970s and 1980s tile roofs: Tile looks fine from the street, but the felt below has turned to dust. This is the single most common thing we find on Washington Square and Wilshire Square homes, and it’s a replacement issue, not a patch job.
- Failed patch jobs on original 1920s-1940s roofs: Santa Ana’s French Park and Floral Park craftsman homes have changed hands multiple times. Each previous owner left behind a different material choice and quality level. We regularly tear off three generations of patch work before we reach anything solid.
- Poorly flashed additions and garage conversions: Santa Ana has one of the highest concentrations of unpermitted additions and garage conversions in the country. These almost always have roof ties and flashing details that were never permitted or built to any standard, which are exactly where the leaks start.
Pricing for Roofing in Santa Ana, CA
Here’s the honest breakdown we give every Santa Ana homeowner before we quote:
- Roof Repair: $400-$1,800
- Roof Replacement: $8,000-$20,000
- Metal Roof Installation: $15,000-$40,000
- Tile Roof Repair: $600-$2,500
What moves your number within those ranges: the roof’s square footage, how many layers we’re tearing off, whether the decking needs replacement, and whether the roof has unusual geometry that slows installation. Prices in Santa Ana are in line with the broader Orange County market, though the age of the housing stock means a slightly higher likelihood of structural surprises once we open things up. We document everything in writing. You’ll know what you’re paying before the tear-off starts, and any change gets its own written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, no-pressure estimate.

If you’re in Santa Ana, we’ll be there.
Roof replacement in Santa Ana runs $8,000-$20,000, which is consistent with what you’d pay in Tustin, Orange, or Fountain Valley. The difference isn’t material cost; it’s complexity. Santa Ana’s pre-1960 housing stock means older framing, more layers to remove, and a higher chance we uncover something that needs addressing under the roof. We factor that into our first estimate so there are no surprises later. Call (877) 610-1318 for your exact number.
Yes, on every eligible job. Santa Ana’s building code requires permits for roof replacement and most structural repairs, and dealing with the city’s permit process is a bigger lift here than in neighboring cities because so many older homes have prior unpermitted work that complicates the record. We handle the permit paperwork, schedule the inspections, and make sure the inspector signs off. The inspector works for you, not for us, and we’d rather have them on the roof anyway.
Yes. Every Barrett & Sons roof job in Santa Ana is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. Beyond the warranty, we live with the reputational weight of every roof we put on in the city. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
