• Roof replacement in Strawberry: $8,000-$20,000; repairs: $400-$1,800; metal roof installation: $15,000-$40,000.
• Most of what we find in Strawberry isn’t shingle failure. It’s undersized rafters, notched framing, and unscreened vents from decades-old construction.
• We pull permits and pass inspections on every eligible job, because Tuolumne County snow-load codes are not optional at 4,800 feet.
• Every price change arrives as a written change order before work begins. No surprises at the end.

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

We’ve been working on Strawberry roofs long enough to know what the first snow of a heavy winter exposes. The cabins up here were built in the mid-20th century, when snow-load requirements were thinner and wildfire ember standards didn’t exist. Today’s Tuolumne County codes require a different roof than what most of these homes have. Tom Barrett and his sons are on-site most days, not a franchise sending someone who’s never driven Highway 108 in October. Our Roofing crew has pulled permits, passed inspections, and fixed surprises the right way: on paper, in writing, before a single nail moves.

Strawberry homeowners call us because we answer. A live person picks up the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call about a roof leak in November and Highway 108 closes behind you, we already know what that means for scheduling. Valley-based crews quote a weekend cabin job and miss the logistics. We stage materials before the season ends, because we’ve seen September storms strand a half-delivered load at the Donnell Vista turnoff. That’s not a metaphor. That’s the rhythm of working at elevation, and you only learn it by doing the work here.

Ask anyone on Strawberry Lane or up by the Leland Meadows turnoff. Or look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number yourself. We publish it all. A homeowner between 50 and 70 has been burned before by a national company that quoted one price on the phone and handed over a different bill at the door. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. You’ll pay a fair price and know exactly what you’re paying for, in writing.

Roof Replacement & Installation

Most Strawberry roof replacements start with an inspection that turns up more than worn shingles. We find shallow-pitched cabins built before modern snow-load codes, rafters that were undersized to begin with, and sheathing that’s been wet for years. A proper replacement in Strawberry often means sistering rafters or adding collar ties before new underlayment goes down. We write that load-bearing correction into the change order, price it in writing, and get it approved before we touch it. That’s the part valley roofers don’t know to look for, and it’s exactly where their low bid quietly doubles after tear-off. A roof replacement in Strawberry runs $8,000 to $20,000, depending on what’s underneath the old shingles.

Standing Seam Metal Roof

For a Strawberry cabin that sits empty most of the winter, a standing seam metal roof is the best investment. The continuous panels shed snow fast, and at 4,800 feet, that matters. Freeze-thaw cycles don’t catch on seams the way they do on shingles, and when combined with ember-resistant vent screening, you get a roof built for both the snowpack winter and the fire-season summer. Plan on $15,000 to $40,000 for metal roof installation in Strawberry. We stock these materials before the season closes, because a September storm can close Highway 108 and strand a delivery for weeks.

Roof Leak Repair

Our crew opened up a 1960s A-frame off Strawberry Lane for a roof leak and found rafters notched past code by a past handyman. We wrote the load-bearing correction into the change order, installed a standing seam metal roof with ember-resistant vent screening, and got inspection sign-off before the September snow hit. That’s what roof leak repair looks like in Strawberry: the leak itself is usually the symptom, not the problem. Repairs run $400 to $1,800 for targeted fixes, and we’ll tell you honestly if a patch buys you one more season or if the whole roof needs to come off.

Emergency & Storm Damage

When a storm snaps a limb onto the ridge or heavy snow pushes a shallow-pitched cabin roof past its limit, you need someone who can get up the mountain. We do. Emergency tarping, ridge repair, and structural triage are our bread and butter in Strawberry. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers. We’ll tell you what we can do, when we can do it, and what it costs before we send anyone up the road. If it’s snow season and the damage is active, we move. If it’s a scheduled replacement, we plan with you around the window late May through October.

Trusted Brands We Service in Strawberry

We carry premium materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On Strawberry roofs, that means GAF and CertainTeed for shingles, standing seam metal systems rated for Sierra snow loads, and ember-resistant vent components that meet current WUI fire standards. Our warehouse keeps Quikrete and common flashing and sealant stock on hand for Strawberry, so a repair doesn’t wait on a parts run down the mountain. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what’s on your roof now and what should be.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Strawberry Homes

• Shallow-pitched cabin roofs sag under snowpack. Original rafters in mid-century Strawberry cabins were never sized for a 10-foot snow year. We see ridge sag, cracked sheetrock at the ceiling, and doors that stick in January from the load pushing down.
• Freeze-thaw cycles crack old flashing and pull deck-ledger bolts. Water gets behind the flashing, rots the subfloor above the deck, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the damage is already structural. The freeze-thaw cycle at 4,800 feet is relentless.
• Wildfire embers enter unscreened gable vents. Decades-old wood shingles and open vents are an invitation for embers during fire season. Current CAL FIRE and WUI standards require Class-A materials and ember-resistant screening, and most older Strawberry cabins don’t have either yet.
• Notched rafters from old remodels and past handymen. We’ve seen rafters notched 40% past code, which is the moment a cabin goes from serviceable to unsafe. That’s what we found off Strawberry Lane, and it’s not rare. A permit-triggered inspection is the thing that catches it before the snow does.
