Dependable metal roof installation for Ithaca homeowners from Roofing Brothers — measured on site, done on schedule, and cleaned up after.
Most Ithaca homeowners who call us about a metal roof want two things answered first: what it costs and what colors they can have. We bring the chart with the estimate, measure the roof ourselves, and give you a written price that covers panels, trim, underlayment and tear off.
When a Ithaca homeowner calls us about metal roof installation, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the metal roof installation on your Ithaca home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
Nothing gets ordered until you have a written price in hand and have settled on the color you actually want.
If the shingles are coming off, they come off, and every board underneath gets checked before anything new goes down.
Panels are cut on site so the lengths are right and the ends land where they should. Longer runs mean fewer laps and fewer places to leak.
Then the yard gets picked up, the scrap gets hauled off, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
"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?"
