A family roofing company serving Davis 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 Davis roof.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
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.
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.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
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.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
Hard wind lifts shingles and works panel fasteners loose along the edges, which is exactly where the next storm gets underneath. We refasten, replace and reseal.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
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.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
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 Davis 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 Davis, 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.
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.
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.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
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.
Common questions from Davis, IL homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Davis 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.
A typical Davis shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Davis 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Davis roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Davis 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Davis home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
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."
