For nearly a century, Barrett has helped protect some of the most iconic structures in America — from transportation hubs and commercial towers to multi-family housing and civic institutions. As we grow, our commitment to quality, innovation, and partnership remains unchanged.
Since the early days of builtup roof construction, Barrett has become a pioneer in the field, improving its materials, application methods, and facilities for service stride-for-stride with the advance of the building industry as a whole.
Today, the Barrett Company has become a national leader in evolving bitumen modification technology and the design of high-performance waterproofing, built-up roofing systems, and vegetated roofs. The time-proven performance of our company and our superior products sets us apart from the giant “everything to everybody” suppliers. Our direct, “hands-on” experience, with personalized attention to each project, is an asset that provides true value and is always readily available to all architects, engineers, contractors, and builders alike.
With Barrett’s long history of providing top quality roofing & waterproofing systems for leading architects, engineers, and builders of modern structures, we can say with confidence that no finer materials of this character are obtainable than those bearing the Barrett label.
Proven performance over time is the best indicator of quality when it comes to roofing & waterproofing systems. The Barrett Company has been providing top quality materials & systems for roofing & waterproofing since 1928.
