metal roof installation for Elgin homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Elgin home that means standing seam or exposed fastener panels set over sound decking and real underlayment, with the ridge, valley and eave trim cut and fit on site rather than forced out of a box.
Our metal roof installation work in Elgin is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Elgin metal roof installation for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
Nothing gets ordered until you have a written price in hand and have settled on the color you actually want.
Where the decking is sound and there is only one layer, we can often go over the top on purlins. We tell you which one your house calls for.
Synthetic underlayment over the whole roof, ice and water shield in the valleys and at the eaves, then panels set square on the correct fastener spacing.
Then the yard gets picked up, the scrap gets hauled off, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Most Elgin metal roof jobs land between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off is involved. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote and the estimate is free.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Elgin 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.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Elgin homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
A straightforward Elgin house is usually three to five days. A cut up roof with dormers, valleys and multiple pitches takes longer, because every panel and trim piece gets measured and fit on site.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"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?"
"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."
"Wind peeled up the edge of our roof and they came out that same evening to cover it so the rain would not get in. Permanent repair the following week."
