Roofing Braidwood homes the way we have since 2002 — measured on site, priced in writing, and finished the way we would want our own roof finished.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Braidwood, IL home is likely to need.
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.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
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.
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.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
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.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
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.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
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.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
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.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
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.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Estimates are always free. That line has been on everything we have printed since 2002 and it still is. Somebody comes out to your Braidwood home, gets on the roof, looks in the attic if there is a way in, and leaves you a written price.
No pressure and no price that expires if you do not sign that day. If your Braidwood roof needs a repair rather than a replacement, we will tell you so, even though the repair is the smaller ticket.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Braidwood? Start here.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Braidwood 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Braidwood. 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.
For most Braidwood homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Braidwood roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Braidwood 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.
Most Braidwood houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"They roofed our addition and tied in the porch that runs off it. One crew, one number to call, and every line of it matched up."
"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."
"Roof on our shop building. They worked Saturdays so we did not have to shut the doors during the week."
We take care of homeowners in these neighboring communities as well.
