Roofing Oakland 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 Oakland roof.
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.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
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.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
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.
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.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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 Oakland 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 Oakland, 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 Michigan.
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.
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.
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.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
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 Oakland, MI homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Oakland 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.
Plenty of them. Most Oakland customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Oakland 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.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Oakland 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Oakland roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
No. Estimates are always free in Oakland. 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.
