Standing seam and metal panel roofing, roof repair and full replacement in Bourbonnais. We show up when we say we will, and we clean up before we go.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
A metal roof is the thing we do best. Our family has been installing them out of Morganton, North Carolina since 2002, and our crews bring that same work to Bourbonnais: standing seam, exposed fastener panels, and ridge and valley trim that fits instead of being forced.
Shingles still make sense on a lot of Bourbonnais houses, and we will say so when they do. What we will not do is talk you into metal when your budget or your roof does not call for it. Estimates are free either way.
Why people around Bourbonnais call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
Straight answers to what Bourbonnais homeowners ask us most often.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Bourbonnais roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
Plenty of them. Most Bourbonnais customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Bourbonnais roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Bourbonnais ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Bourbonnais metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Bourbonnais metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Real feedback from homeowners whose roofs we have worked on.
"Hail came through and they had photos and a written estimate to my adjuster in two days. Made the whole claim about as painless as it could be."
"Thank you so much to the entire crew at Roofing Brothers for our amazing new tin roof! You were amazing to work with and I couldn't recommend you to others enough! Great communication, pricing, color options, efficiency, and HONESTY! If anyone needs a new roof, I highly recommend this crew! Phenomenal job."
"Honest people. I asked for a quote on a whole new roof and they told me mine had another eight years in it and just needed the valleys resealed. Who does that anymore?"
Our crews cover the surrounding area, not only the city limits.
