Roofing Fremont homes the way we have since 2002 — measured on site, priced in writing, and finished the way we would want our own roof finished.
Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a Fremont roof.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
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.
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.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
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.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
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.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
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 Fremont 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 Fremont, 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 Indiana.
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.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
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.
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.
Common questions from Fremont, IN homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Fremont 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.
For most Fremont 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Fremont 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Fremont 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 Fremont 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 do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Fremont roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"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."
