Straight answers and careful work on metal roof installation in Georgetown, MA. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Georgetown 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.
Roofing Brothers has been doing metal roof installation since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Georgetown homeowners through our network of local crews. The standard has not moved: measure it right, fasten it right, and never cut a corner where water can find it.
Before any metal roof installation starts in Georgetown you will know the price, the material and the schedule. Estimates are always free, and nobody is going to push you to decide while somebody is still standing in your driveway.
How a job actually runs, from the first phone call to the last magnet pass over the driveway.
Panel type comes first — standing seam or exposed fastener — then color, then trim. We walk you through the trade offs on each one.
Rotten decking gets replaced and priced with you before it is covered up. Nobody wants to learn about that afterward.
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.
Every penetration gets a proper boot or flashing instead of a bead of sealant and a hope.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Georgetown metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Georgetown homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Georgetown home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Georgetown 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.
