We know Seaside’s housing stock because we’ve worked on it for years. Not from a satellite office. Not from a call center. The homes up in Del Monte Heights, the streets around Ord Grove, the older pockets near Broadway Avenue and Noche Buena Street - those flat and low-slope roofs have a personality all their own. And they don’t respond well to contractors who treat them like a standard pitched roof in Salinas.

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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. His sons run the crews. When you hire Barrett & Sons, the name on the truck is the name standing on your roof. That matters in Seaside, where word travels fast and a contractor’s reputation lives or dies by how the last roof on your block turned out.

We publish our license number, our address, and our phone number. Look us up before you sign anything - we’d rather you did. Every roof replacement includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Every change to scope arrives as a written change order before anyone touches a nail. And every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.

Seaside homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: a national company quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a different invoice at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. The price we write is the price we honor. If something changes, you see it on paper first.

Our Roofing Services in Seaside

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in Seaside runs $8,000-$20,000. The range is wider here than in newer cities because so many of our jobs involve 1950s-60s military tract homes with original low-slope roof decks, corroded flashing, and framing that predates modern seismic code. We write allowances for the unknown before we start, so a rotted deck section doesn’t become a surprise invoice.

Roof Repair

Most roof repairs in Seaside land between $400 and $1,800. The salt-laden marine fog that rolls in off Monterey Bay corrodes exposed flashing and fasteners faster than people expect. A leak that looks minor from the attic is often a corroded vent boot or failed seam at a roof penetration. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofing in Seaside starts around $15,000 and can reach $40,000 depending on the roof’s pitch and the condition of the deck below. Metal makes a lot of sense here - it holds up against persistent coastal fog, handles the low-slope geometry of old Fort Ord-era homes better than many materials, and won’t rust out the way old galvanized vents and flashing did. We install standing seam systems properly, with the underlayment and detailing the marine layer demands.

Tile Roofing

Tile roof repair in Seaside runs $600-$2,500 for typical repairs. Barrel tile looks right on the Spanish-influenced ranch homes scattered through this city, but cracked tiles from decades of thermal cycling let water through to the underlayment, which is often original to the house and near end of life. We match the tile, replace the broken pieces, and tell you honestly if the underlayment underneath needs attention.

Trusted Brands We Service in Seaside

We install and service roofing from manufacturers you can look up. On Seaside homes, we commonly work with GAF and CertainTeed shingle systems, plus standing seam metal panels from manufacturers that hold up to coastal air. For homeowners focused on energy performance and moisture control in this fog-heavy climate, we’ve installed Simonton skylights and PGW-related accessories. No mystery brands off a van. If we put it on your roof, you can verify it.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Seaside Homes

• Salt corrosion on flashing and fasteners. Seaside sits directly in the Monterey Bay marine layer corridor. The same fog that keeps summers cool eats exposed metal at roof penetrations, chimneys, and valleys. We see flashing that’s corroded through on homes where the shingles themselves look fine.
• Low-slope roof deck rot from trapped condensation. The postwar military tract homes built for enlisted families often have flat or very low-slope roofs. Without proper ventilation, condensation sits behind the barrier and rots the deck from the inside. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the deck damage is usually bigger than the visual leak suggests.
• Original galvanized vents and boots at end of life. Those 1950s and 1960s homes were built with galvanized plumbing vents and roof boots that were never meant to last 60 years in salt air. The seams rust out, water follows the pipe down, and the attic soaks it up before anyone notices.
• Undersized framing that sags under modern loads. Many original Seaside roof structures were built to minimal standards. Add decades of deferred maintenance and slab foundations with less rebar than current seismic code requires, and you get roof decks that sag and transfer stress in ways a simple re-shingle won’t fix.
