A family roofing company serving Woodstock and the rest of Connecticut 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 Woodstock roof.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
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.
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.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
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 Woodstock 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 Woodstock, 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 Connecticut.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Woodstock, CT homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
For most Woodstock 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Woodstock 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Woodstock 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.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Woodstock ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Woodstock 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 Woodstock 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.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Very pleased with the roof. The only thing I would mention is that the estimate took a couple of days to come back, but once it did everything went right on schedule."
"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."
"Roof on our shop building. They worked Saturdays so we did not have to shut the doors during the week."
