Roofing Carmel homes the way we have since 2002 — measured on site, priced in writing, and finished the way we would want our own roof finished.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Carmel, CA home is likely to need.
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.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
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.
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.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
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.
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.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
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.
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.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
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.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
We have never charged for an estimate and we are not about to start. A Carmel homeowner ought to be able to find out what a roof costs without buying a sales pitch first, so we measure, photograph what we find, and put a real number on paper.
What people tell us most often is that we told them the truth. Sometimes that truth is that the Carmel roof they were ready to replace has another eight or ten years in it and only needs the valleys resealed.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Carmel? Start here.
For most Carmel 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Carmel roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Carmel 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.
Most Carmel houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Carmel 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.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Carmel year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"Standing seam on our log home. The panels are dead straight and the ridge work is clean. You can tell they have done a few of these."
"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."
"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."
We take care of homeowners in these neighboring communities as well.
