metal roof installation for Seattle homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Seattle home that means standing seam or exposed fastener panels set over sound decking and real underlayment, with the ridge, valley and eave trim cut and fit on site rather than forced out of a box.
Our metal roof installation work in Seattle is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Seattle metal roof installation for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
Nothing gets ordered until you have a written price in hand and have settled on the color you actually want.
Where the decking is sound and there is only one layer, we can often go over the top on purlins. We tell you which one your house calls for.
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.
Then the yard gets picked up, the scrap gets hauled off, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Seattle metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Seattle home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Seattle 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 Seattle 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.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"Old slate roof and I was afraid nobody would touch it. They matched the pieces and now you cannot tell which ones are new."
"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."
"Wind peeled up the edge of our roof and they came out that same evening to cover it so the rain would not get in. Permanent repair the following week."
