Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Gurnee, IL 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.
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 metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
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.
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.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
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.
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.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
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.
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.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
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.
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.
A metal roof is the thing we do best. Our family has been installing them out of Morganton, North Carolina since 2002, and our crews bring that same work to Gurnee: standing seam, exposed fastener panels, and ridge and valley trim that fits instead of being forced.
Shingles still make sense on a lot of Gurnee houses, and we will say so when they do. What we will not do is talk you into metal when your budget or your roof does not call for it. Estimates are free either way.
Why people around Gurnee 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Straight answers to what Gurnee homeowners ask us most often.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Gurnee 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 typical Gurnee shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Most Gurnee metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
No. Estimates are always free in Gurnee. 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Gurnee 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.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Gurnee 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.
Honest words from customers who trusted Roofing Brothers with their roof.
"Tore off two layers of old shingles and found rotten decking underneath. They showed me the boards, told me what the change would cost, and let me decide before going ahead."
"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."
"Metal roof on the barn and one on the shed while they were already out here. Good work on both and the price was fair for that much steel."
