Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a Elk Horn roof.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
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.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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.
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.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
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.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
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.
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.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Roofing Brothers began in 2002 as a family roofing company in Morganton, North Carolina, and it is still run the way it started. Homeowners in Elk Horn reach that same outfit — the one that has been setting metal panels and laying shingles for over twenty years — through our network of local crews.
In a city the size of Elk Horn, word travels fast about who does good work and who does not. That suits us fine. We would rather put one roof on right and have the neighbors ask about it than chase volume all over Iowa.
Nothing fancy — free estimates, honest answers, and roofs that go on straight.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions from Elk Horn, IA homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
A typical Elk Horn 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 Elk Horn 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Elk Horn 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Elk Horn home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Elk Horn 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Elk Horn. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Metal roof on the barn and one on the shed while they were already out here. Good work on both and the price was fair for that much steel."
"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."
"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."
