Dependable metal roof installation for Fox Lake homeowners from Roofing Brothers — measured on site, done on schedule, and cleaned up after.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Fox Lake home that means standing seam or exposed fastener panels set over sound decking and real underlayment, with the ridge, valley and eave trim cut and fit on site rather than forced out of a box.
When a Fox Lake homeowner calls us about metal roof installation, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the metal roof installation on your Fox Lake home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
Nothing gets ordered until you have a written price in hand and have settled on the color you actually want.
Where the decking is sound and there is only one layer, we can often go over the top on purlins. We tell you which one your house calls for.
Synthetic underlayment over the whole roof, ice and water shield in the valleys and at the eaves, then panels set square on the correct fastener spacing.
Then the yard gets picked up, the scrap gets hauled off, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Fox Lake metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
A straightforward Fox Lake house is usually three to five days. A cut up roof with dormers, valleys and multiple pitches takes longer, because every panel and trim piece gets measured and fit on site.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Fox Lake homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Fox Lake home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
"Old slate roof and I was afraid nobody would touch it. They matched the pieces and now you cannot tell which ones are new."
"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."
"Burgundy metal roof on our brick ranch and I get compliments on it constantly. They brought the color chart out and let us take our time deciding."
