Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Northboro, IA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Northboro.
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 repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
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.
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.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Northboro homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.
We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Northboro home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.
Here is what Northboro homeowners tell us makes the difference.
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.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
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.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
No. Estimates are always free in Northboro. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Northboro 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.
A typical Northboro shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
A metal roof installed properly on a Northboro home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Northboro 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 Northboro 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.
Honest words from customers who trusted Roofing Brothers with their roof.
"Twenty year old tin roof with screws backing out everywhere. They refastened the whole thing with new washers instead of talking me into a replacement I did not need."
"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?"
