A family roofing company serving Traverse City and the rest of Michigan through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Traverse City, MI home is likely to need.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
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.
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.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
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.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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.
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.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
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.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Free estimates, honest assessments, and a price you can hold in your hand. That is how this family has worked since 2002, and it is how our crews work in Traverse City today — no high pressure close and no mystery line items on the invoice.
There are a lot of roofers working Traverse City, and after a storm there are a lot more. We are the ones who will get on your roof, show you the photographs, and tell you plainly whether you are looking at a repair, a section, or the whole thing.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
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.
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.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Traverse City? Start here.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Traverse City 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.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Traverse City 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.
For most Traverse City 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.
Most Traverse City houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Traverse City 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.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Traverse City 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.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Showed up when they said they would, both days. That alone puts them ahead of the last three contractors I hired."
"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."
"Our church needed a new roof and the budget was tight. They worked with us on it, did beautiful work, and finished before the fall revival."
We take care of homeowners in these neighboring communities as well.
