Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Colony’s Preferred Roofing Company

Barrett & Sons is the owner-operated shop, not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett and his sons run their crews, and they carry premium asphalt and metal systems that meet The Colony’s wind-load requirements the first time. We pull permits, we schedule inspections, and we never send a price change without putting it in writing first.

Customers in The Colony call us because our crews know the local failure points: the lifted shingles after a spring hailstorm, the settling cracks on a post-tension slab, the FEMA flood zone lines south of Lewisville Lake. We don’t have to guess. We’ve seen it on hundreds of roofs between Eden Lane and Ridgepointe Drive.

Here’s how we work: every scope, every allowance, every change order goes on paper before a single nail moves. That’s the Barrett & Sons standard. If something isn’t right, it’s covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. One call brings Tom back. No fine print, no voicemail maze. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We don’t hide who we are. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up yourself before you sign anything. We’d rather you do.

Our Roofing Services in The Colony

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in The Colony typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the system you choose and the exposure zone your home sits in. Homes in The Colony’s southern reaches, near The lakes and the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, face higher wind uplift demands than houses tucked north of SH 121 toward Frisco. We install Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingle systems from GAF and CertainTeed because they meet The Colony’s wind requirements and earn you real discounts with most insurers. The permit gets pulled, the inspector signs off, and the documentation lands in your file where the insurance adjuster can find it.

Emergency & Storm Damage

North Texas hail doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither does a live call with us. Storm damage to roofs in The Colony is common every spring, especially along the Lewisville Lake exposure where wind gusts come off open water hard. We’ll tarp what’s open, document what the storm took, and get a written estimate to you fast. If your insurance adjuster needs wind and hail documentation, we keep a clean paper trail of every repair.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofs in The Colony run $15,000 to $40,000, and they’re worth considering if you live in The Tribute or anywhere the wind comes off Lewisville Lake year-round. A properly installed GAF or CertainTeed metal system with the right uplift clips rides out hailstorms that beat the life out of asphalt. We’ll size the system to The Colony’s wind-load code, not just nail down a pretty metal skin.

Tile Roofing

Tile roof repair in The Colony runs $600 to $2,500, and we see most of it on the older homes built from the 1980s into the 1990s where barrel and flat tile were popular builders’ upgrades. Cracked or loosened tiles aren’t just cosmetic here. When clay movement under the rafter lines shifts, the tile works loose, and then a hard storm does the rest. We document what’s moved and why before we replace a single tile.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Colony

We stock GAF and CertainTeed parts for The Colony homeowners, so you’re not waiting on a special order when a repair is urgent. If you already have a manufacturer’s system on your roof, we can service it under warranty and document the work the way the manufacturer requires. That matters when you file an insurance claim later. We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van.

Common Roofing Problems We See in The Colony Homes

• Lifted shingles along north eaves after spring hailstorms. The Colony sits in a major hail corridor. Shingles that lift aren’t just ugly. They let wind-driven rain get under the underlayment. That’s how a small storm becomes a $6,000 interior repair.
• Differential settling from expansive clay soils. The black montmorillonite clay under The Colony shrinks in summer droughts and heaves with rain. That movement shows up as cracked chimney surrounds, pulled flashing at roof-to-wall intersections, and subtle ridge sag. A roofer who doesn’t know clay soil will miss it.
• Post-tension slab stress cracks transferring to rooflines. We’ve seen fascia pull away from the framing because the slab below moved and the wall followed. This is exactly when The Colony’s building department wants a structural engineer’s report before any load-bearing framing work. A roofer who skips that step can get you a stop-work order.
• Floodplain exposure on lake-adjacent homes. The Colony sections near Lewisville Lake carry FEMA flood zone designations. Any ground-level structure work near the water can require an elevation certificate. We coordinate that. Many out-of-town roofers don’t know the requirement exists until it’s too late for the insurance adjuster to accept the claim.

What The Colony’s Building Department Actually Requires

Here’s the thing most out-of-town roofers don’t learn until the inspector shuts them down. The Colony’s building department requires a licensed structural engineer’s assessment before issuing permits for any load-bearing wall work. This dates back to decades of structural movement on the city’s original post-tension slab tract homes, built during the planned-community buildout from roughly 1975 through the late 1990s. When a roofing job involves load paths transferring to the roof structure, that engineer’s report becomes part of the permit file. Skip it and you get a stop-work order. We’ve helped homeowners unwind that exact mess after a cut-rate roofer started a job and vanished.

Our crew recently roofed a 1980s tract home in The Colony’s Legend Bend subdivision off Main Street. The original composition shingles had lifted along the north eaves after a spring hailstorm. Because the house sat on a post-tension slab with visible settling cracks, we pulled a structural engineer’s report before touching any load-bearing framing, then installed a Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingle system that met the city’s wind uplift requirements for the Lewisville Lake exposure zone. The inspector signed off on the first visit, and the homeowner had clean documentation for the insurance file.
