Roofing Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth, VA home is likely to need.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
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.
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.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
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.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
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.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
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.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
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.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
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.
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.
Free estimates, honest assessments, and a price you can hold in your hand. That is how this family has worked since 2002, and it is how our crews work in Portsmouth today — no high pressure close and no mystery line items on the invoice.
There are a lot of roofers working Portsmouth, and after a storm there are a lot more. We are the ones who will get on your roof, show you the photographs, and tell you plainly whether you are looking at a repair, a section, or the whole thing.
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.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
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.
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 Portsmouth? Start here.
For most Portsmouth 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Portsmouth metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Portsmouth 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.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Portsmouth 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Portsmouth 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.
Most Portsmouth 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.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"Nice work on the roof and good communication throughout. I would have liked a little more warning about the dumpster arriving, but that is a small thing."
"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."
"The crew was polite, cleaned up every day, and ran a magnet over the driveway before they left. My kids never found a single nail."
