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.
Not every Elgin roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote metal roof installation we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if metal roof installation on your Elgin home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
Panel type comes first — standing seam or exposed fastener — then color, then trim. We walk you through the trade offs on each one.
Rotten decking gets replaced and priced with you before it is covered up. Nobody wants to learn about that afterward.
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.
Every penetration gets a proper boot or flashing instead of a bead of sealant and a hope.
What comes up on just about every estimate for a job like this.
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.
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.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Elgin home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Elgin metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"Put a dark green metal roof on our house last spring and it still looks like the day they finished. Fair price, no surprises on the bill, and they hauled off every scrap."
"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."
"They replaced the soffit and fascia the squirrels had chewed through and closed everything back up tight. No more scratching in the attic at night."
