A family roofing company serving Council Bluffs and the rest of Iowa 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 Council Bluffs roof.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
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.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
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.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
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.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
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.
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.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
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.
Roofing Brothers has been a family business since 2002, when we started putting metal roofs on houses around Morganton, North Carolina. Two decades later the work has not changed much — good panels, straight lines, honest prices — and that is what our crews bring to homes across Council Bluffs.
With a population near 72,357, Council Bluffs has every kind of roof there is: brick ranches, log homes, additions with three different pitches tied together. We have worked on all of it, and we would rather tell you the truth about yours than sell you the biggest job on the sheet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Council Bluffs, IA homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
For most Council Bluffs 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Council Bluffs 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Council Bluffs 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.
Plenty of them. Most Council Bluffs 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Council Bluffs 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.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Council Bluffs 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.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"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."
"Twenty year old tin roof with screws backing out everywhere. They refastened the whole thing with new washers instead of talking me into a replacement I did not need."
