We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s crew works Wellington roofs every week.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wellington’s Preferred Roofing Company
Wellington isn’t a town where a roofer can fake it. The equestrian estates, the CBS ranch homes, the detached barns with their own permitting track through Palm Beach County. Tom’s sons run the crews, which means the name on the truck is the name standing on your roof. We’ve replaced barrel tile off Aero Club Drive, fixed leaks on homes backing up to the Wellington preserve, and pulled permits for both the main house and the barn when a job needed both. That last part matters more than most people realize, and we’ll get to it.
Calls are answered by a live person, day or night. Not a call center. Not a voicemail box that rings in another state. If something goes wrong after we’re done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract. One call brings Tom back. He lives twenty minutes away; if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
Local Knowledge That Shows Up in the Quote
We know Wellington’s housing stock. The CBS slab-on-grade homes built from the 1980s through the early 2000s are now hitting their first major roof cycles. We know the flat Everglades drainage patterns. We know which subdivisions have HOA specs that restrict roof materials and colors. And we know the season. Nobody who has worked Wellington more than a month schedules a loud tear-off in February and expects the homeowner to be happy when the horses start spooking across the paddock. We front-load the noisy work into May through November. That’s not corporate policy. That’s just knowing your neighbors.

Our Roofing Services in Wellington
Roof Repair
Most Wellington roof repairs run $400-$1,800 depending on what failed. A cracked barrel tile off Little Ranches, a lifted flashing seam over the garage, a leak migrating along a rafter tail. We inspect the whole roof, not just the spot you noticed. A leak over the lanai often started at a penetration forty feet away. We give you a written line-item scope before we start, and if we find more once the tile comes off, you get a written change order before the work proceeds. No invoices that surprise you at the end.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Roof replacement in Wellington typically runs $8,000-$20,000 for a standard CBS home. What moves the number? Tile profile, roof complexity, whether the existing underlayment can legally be reused, and whether the home was built before the current high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. We pull the permit, we install to current Palm Beach County wind-load standards, and we make sure the final inspection is signed before we call the job done. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Wellington runs $15,000-$40,000. It’s the right call for detached barns, covered arenas, and accessory structures on equestrian-zoned parcels. But here’s what a cheap bid skips: the detached barn carries the same 170+ mph wind-load requirement as your house. Many original barns lack the engineer’s roof-to-wall strapping details found in CBS homes. A compliant quote includes engineered strapping, documented product approvals, and a separate permit for the accessory structure. We handle it as a two-track process because Palm Beach County does.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile dominates Wellington’s residential look, and tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500. The failure we see most is underlayment that lost its original HVHZ approval after the storms. The tiles look fine from the street, but the waterproofing under them is done. Reusing existing underlayment without checking the approval leaves you with a roof that can’t pass the county’s wind-load inspection and quietly kills the wind mitigation credit on your insurance.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Underlayment failure on 20-to-40-year-old barrel tile roofs. The tile looks fine, but the waterproofing underneath lost its Miami-Dade product approval years ago. This is the most common hidden problem on 1980s and 1990s CBS homes from South Shore to Palm Beach Point.
- Detached barn and covered arena roofs flagged as non-compliant. The original build often skipped the engineer’s roof-to-wall strapping now required for accessory structures on equestrian-zoned parcels. A new metal roof without that strapping fails final inspection and can trigger a stop-work order on the whole property.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at gable ends and soffit-to-wall transitions. Wellington sits flat against the Everglades. When the afternoon storms roll in, the wind drives rain sideways. If the flashing wasn’t detailed right on the original build, the leak shows up years later as a stain on the bedroom ceiling.
- February scheduling conflicts with the Winter Equestrian Festival. We’ve watched contractors lose jobs because the tear-off started the same week the homeowner’s international clients flew in from Argentina or Belgium. The noise echoes across the paddock. The horses spook. The job dies. We sequence the work around the season, not against it.

FAQs - Roofing in Wellington
Yes. Palm Beach County treats detached barns and covered arenas on equestrian-zoned parcels as separate structures with their own permit track. The same 170+ mph wind-load rating applies, but the accessory structure often lacks the engineer’s roof-to-wall strapping details standard in CBS homes. That means the permit application needs its own set of product approvals and, in many cases, a strap-and-clip retrofit spec. A roofer who pulls a permit for the main house only is going to get the barn flagged at final inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 if you need both done right.
New roofing in Wellington must meet Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements, which means products tested and approved for 170+ mph design wind speeds. The product approval is tied to the specific underlayment, tile or metal profile, and attachment method. We verify the approval number before we quote, not after the material shows up. If the old underlayment doesn’t carry a current approval, it comes off. A cheaper bid that skips that verification is selling you a roof that can’t pass inspection.
A completed wind-mitigation inspection that documents roof-to-wall strapping, impact-rated openings, and approved roofing products can meaningfully reduce your windstorm premium in Florida. In Wellington specifically, the credit applies only if the strapping and product approvals are verifiable on paper. If we upgrade the attachments during a re-roof, we give you the documentation to submit to your insurer. That paperwork is part of the job, not an extra line item.
You can, but we’ll advise against it if the home sits near paddocks or an active arena. The pneumatic noise from a full tear-off carries across open Wellington terrain, and horses spook. More than once we’ve seen a February job lose a client relationship the homeowner spent years building. We schedule tear-offs and noisy framing work for the May through November off-season whenever the timeline allows. Emergency repairs during season are different; we handle those the same day we can get there, noise and all.
A compliant quote includes the permit application with current product approvals for every material, a separate permit for any detached barn or arena roof, engineered roof-to-wall strapping details where the existing attachment doesn’t meet current HVHZ standards, and the final signed inspection record you’ll use for your wind mitigation credit. It also includes a written change-order procedure for anything discovered after tear-off. A cheap quote reuses existing underlayment, skips the barn permit, and hands you a surprise invoice at the end.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free roof inspection and written estimate. We answer live, we show up when we say we will, and the price we quote is the price you’ll see on the contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every job we do in Wellington.
