We’ll get someone out to look, no runaround.
Barrett & Sons Construction has worked the bayfront streets and inland pockets of Seabrook long enough to know what this particular stretch of Galveston Bay does to a roof. Salt air, hurricane winds, and homes sitting up on pilings after Harvey changed the way this town gets roofed. We plan for all three before the first bundle of shingles comes off the truck.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Seabrook’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run crews now, and they’re on roofs in Seabrook most weeks. That means the person you shake hands with is the same person accountable when the job’s done. No franchise, no rotating project manager from another state, no voicemail maze when you have a question after a storm.
We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. That matters in Seabrook, where a midnight windstorm off the bay can peel flashing before dawn. You call, a real human picks up, and we get moving. Every job includes a written scope, written change orders before any price moves, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on the contract. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
We’re also the crew that pulls permits and gets inspections signed on every eligible roofing job in Seabrook. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way. It means your roof gets checked against current wind-load codes by someone with no reason to look the other way.
Our Roofing Services in Seabrook
We’re the local Roofing team that handles everything from small leak repairs to full standing seam metal systems on elevated piling homes. Here’s what we do most often in Seabrook:
Roof Repair
Most repair calls in Seabrook come down to two things: fastener corrosion from Galveston Bay salt air, or flashing failures where wind-driven rain found a gap. A typical repair runs $400 to $1,800 depending on how far the damage has spread under the surface. We use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners on every repair because standard nails will fail again in five to ten years out here. If you see shingles in the yard after a squall, call us before water gets into the decking.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Roof replacement in Seabrook runs $8,000 to $20,000 for most homes, and the range depends on pitch, decking condition, height above grade, and the wind rating you choose. Homes elevated 8 to 12 feet on pilings after Harvey present a different job than a ground-level ranch: access costs more, staging is slower, and the tie-down detailing has to be done exactly right. We quote the full scope in writing before any work starts, including the fastener spec, underlayment type, and the wind-load rating the finished roof will carry.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
Standing seam metal is increasingly the default choice on post-Harvey Seabrook homes, and for good reason. It carries Miami-Dade wind ratings, resists salt corrosion far better than asphalt, and gives insurers something concrete to look at when you’re filing for wind mitigation credits. Installation runs $15,000 to $40,000 on typical Seabrook homes, though larger elevated properties with complex geometries land higher. We install with stainless fasteners and peel-and-stick underlayment as standard on bayfront jobs, not as an upsell.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat tile roofs do exist in Seabrook’s older beachfront sections, and they need a different eye than asphalt. Tile repair here runs $600 to $2,500 for typical damage. Salt air doesn’t corrode tile itself, but it eats the underlayment, battens, and fasteners underneath it. If your tile roof is 20 years old and within a mile of the bay, the tile might look fine while the system under it is failing. We inspect the whole assembly, not just the surface.

Trusted Brands We Service in Seabrook

Materials are documented on every Seabrook quote, so you can look up exactly what’s going on your roof before you sign.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Seabrook Homes
- Salt-air fastener corrosion: Non-stainless or non-hot-dipped galvanized nails rust through in five to ten years near the bay, causing shingle blow-offs even without a hurricane. We see this on original 1980s roofs throughout the Todville Road corridor. Switch to stainless fasteners and the problem stops.
- Flashing failures at roof-to-wall intersections: Elevated homes with retrofitted breakaway-wall enclosures create odd roof geometries that standard flashing doesn’t handle. Wind-driven rain off Galveston Bay finds those gaps fast. We rebuild these transitions with custom bent flashing and proper sealant schedules.
- Improper ridge vent and edge metal attachment: A poorly attached ridge vent fails the next wind-load test and can void your insurance coverage when you file a claim. Cheap installs skip the fastening pattern the manufacturer specifies. We follow the spec and document it.
- Underlayment degradation on older tile roofs: Original felt underlayment on 1990s bayfront tile roofs breaks down from heat and humidity decades before the tile shows wear. We open up test areas to check what’s underneath before recommending repairs.

FAQs - Roofing in Seabrook
Seabrook homes must meet current Texas Department of Insurance windstorm code requirements, which for bayfront and near-bay homes generally means a minimum of 110 mph design wind speed, and Miami-Dade product approval for components where the jurisdiction or your insurer requires it. The exact rating depends on your location relative to the bay, your home’s elevation, and the structure’s exposure category. We document the rating your roof meets on every quote and job file. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want the specific number for your address before you buy.
Yes, most elevated piling homes in Seabrook require both a building permit and at least one third-party inspection during the reroofing process. The permit confirms the work meets current wind-load and attachment standards, and the inspection verifies fastener type, underlayment, and tie-down detailing before the final draw is released. We pull the permit ourselves and coordinate the inspection, so you don’t have to chase the city. That documentation also matters for your insurance file down the road. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re unsure whether your roof’s inspection is still on record.
In many cases yes, because a documented code-compliant roof with the right wind rating and fastener schedule qualifies you for wind mitigation credits with insurers that serve Galveston Bay. What matters is having the right paperwork: permit, inspection sign-off, product approvals, and a letter documenting the installation details. We provide that documentation with every Seabrook reroof. Give us a call at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your insurer will likely ask to see.
Standing seam metal is common in Seabrook because it carries higher wind ratings than most asphalt shingles, resists the salt-air corrosion that kills standard fasteners, and provides documentation trail that insurers accept for wind mitigation credits. On elevated piling homes 8 to 12 feet up, the added wind exposure makes that rating difference real. The tradeoff is upfront cost, which runs $15,000 to $40,000 on most Seabrook homes. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number on your house.
A compliant quote should include stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fastener specification, peel-and-stick underlayment on bayfront homes, wind-load rating documentation, permit and third-party inspection line items, and written change order language before any scope change. Cheap quotes omit the fastener spec and the inspection because that’s where the margin lives. If the quote doesn’t say what nails go in your roof and who verifies the install, it’s not a complete quote. Send us what you have and we’ll give you a free second opinion at (877) 610-1318.
