A family roofing company serving Vienna and the rest of Illinois through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a Vienna roof.
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.
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.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
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.
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.
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 careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
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.
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.
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.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
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.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
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.
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.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
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.
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 Vienna 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 Vienna, 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.
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.
Common questions from Vienna, IL homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Vienna 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Vienna 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 Vienna 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.
For most Vienna 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.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Vienna 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.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Vienna year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Cannot say enough about how careful they were around the flower beds. Everything got covered and nothing was trampled."
"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."
"Metal roof on the barn and one on the shed while they were already out here. Good work on both and the price was fair for that much steel."
