Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Lakewood, OH homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
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.
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.
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.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
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.
Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.
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.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
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.
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.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
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.
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.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
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.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
Standing seam and metal panels have been our specialty since 2002. Around Lakewood that means everything from a small porch roof to a full house in dark green, burgundy or bronze, cut and fit on site by crews who have done hundreds of them.
A metal roof done right in Lakewood should be quiet inside, straight from the street, and still there long after you have stopped thinking about it. That takes sound decking, real underlayment, and panels that are actually square. We do not skip those parts to save a day.
Why people around Lakewood call us back and send their neighbors our way.
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.
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.
Straight answers to what Lakewood homeowners ask us most often.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Lakewood 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Lakewood. 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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.
Honest words from customers who trusted Roofing Brothers with their roof.
"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?"
"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."
"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."
