Need metal roof installation in Wilmette? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
We have been setting metal panels on houses, churches, barns and additions for over twenty years, and the crews serving Wilmette install them the same way we always have. Straight lines, correct fastener spacing, and closures at the ridge so wind driven rain has nowhere to go.
Not every Wilmette roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote metal roof installation we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if metal roof installation on your Wilmette home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Panel type comes first — standing seam or exposed fastener — then color, then trim. We walk you through the trade offs on each one.
If the shingles are coming off, they come off, and every board underneath gets checked before anything new goes down.
We keep panels straight to a line rather than to the eye, because a metal roof shows every bit of drift the moment the sun hits it.
Every penetration gets a proper boot or flashing instead of a bead of sealant and a hope.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Wilmette metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Wilmette home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Wilmette homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Wilmette metal roof can go over the top on purlins. Two layers or rot underneath and we tear off first — and we say so before you sign.
Real feedback from homeowners we have worked for.
"They found a leak two other roofers could not. Turned out to be the chimney flashing, not the roof at all. Fixed in one afternoon and it has been dry ever since."
"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."
"Nice work on the roof and good communication throughout. I would have liked a little more warning about the dumpster arriving, but that is a small thing."
