A family roofing company serving Island Lake and the rest of Illinois through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a Island Lake roof.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
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.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
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.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
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.
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.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Coatings for low slope and older metal roofs that are still sound but weathered. Washed down, refastened, primed at the rust, then coated.
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.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
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.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
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 Island Lake 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 Island Lake, 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 Illinois.
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.
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.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
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.
Common questions from Island Lake, IL homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Island Lake 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.
Most Island Lake 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Island Lake 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Island Lake roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Island Lake metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
Plenty of them. Most Island Lake 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.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Hail came through and they had photos and a written estimate to my adjuster in two days. Made the whole claim about as painless as it could be."
"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."
"Ice was backing up at our eaves every winter. They cleared it, then went back and fixed the ventilation, and we have not had the problem since."
