Dependable metal roof installation for West Chicago homeowners from Roofing Brothers — measured on site, done on schedule, and cleaned up after.
Most West Chicago homeowners who call us about a metal roof want two things answered first: what it costs and what colors they can have. We bring the chart with the estimate, measure the roof ourselves, and give you a written price that covers panels, trim, underlayment and tear off.
Roofing Brothers has been doing metal roof installation since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for West Chicago homeowners through our network of local crews. The standard has not moved: measure it right, fasten it right, and never cut a corner where water can find it.
Before any metal roof installation starts in West Chicago you will know the price, the material and the schedule. Estimates are always free, and nobody is going to push you to decide while somebody is still standing in your driveway.
How a job actually runs, from the first phone call to the last magnet pass over the driveway.
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.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most West Chicago homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a West Chicago 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.
Most West Chicago 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.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a West Chicago home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
