Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Northborough, MA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Northborough.
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.
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.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
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.
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.
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.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
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.
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.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Our crews in Northborough work the way this family has always worked — on time, cleaned up, and finished before anybody calls it finished. You will know who is coming, what day they are coming, and what the number is before anything starts.
If weather moves your Northborough job, we call you. If we open the roof and find rotten decking, we show you the boards and price the change before we touch it. Nobody likes surprises on a roof, us included.
Here is what Northborough homeowners tell us makes the difference.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Northborough 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 Northborough 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.
A typical Northborough shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Most Northborough 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.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Northborough 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.
Most Northborough metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
Honest words from customers who trusted Roofing Brothers with their roof.
"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."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"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."
