Roofing Braceville homes the way we have since 2002 — measured on site, priced in writing, and finished the way we would want our own roof finished.
Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a Braceville roof.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
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.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
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.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Hard wind lifts shingles and works panel fasteners loose along the edges, which is exactly where the next storm gets underneath. We refasten, replace and reseal.
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.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
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.
Roofing Brothers began in 2002 as a family roofing company in Morganton, North Carolina, and it is still run the way it started. Homeowners in Braceville reach that same outfit — the one that has been setting metal panels and laying shingles for over twenty years — through our network of local crews.
In a city the size of Braceville, word travels fast about who does good work and who does not. That suits us fine. We would rather put one roof on right and have the neighbors ask about it than chase volume all over Illinois.
Nothing fancy — free estimates, honest answers, and roofs that go on straight.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions from Braceville, IL homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Braceville 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Braceville 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.
A typical Braceville 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.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Braceville 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Braceville 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 Braceville metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"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."
"The skylight had leaked for two years and three different people had caulked it. These folks reflashed it properly and that was the end of it."
