Straight answers and careful work on metal roof installation in Shellsburg, IA. 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 Shellsburg 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.
When a Shellsburg homeowner calls us about metal roof installation, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the metal roof installation on your Shellsburg home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
Nothing gets ordered until you have a written price in hand and have settled on the color you actually want.
If the shingles are coming off, they come off, and every board underneath gets checked before anything new goes down.
Panels are cut on site so the lengths are right and the ends land where they should. Longer runs mean fewer laps and fewer places to leak.
Then the yard gets picked up, the scrap gets hauled off, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Most Shellsburg metal roof jobs land between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off is involved. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote and the estimate is free.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Shellsburg 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 Shellsburg home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
A straightforward Shellsburg house is usually three to five days. A cut up roof with dormers, valleys and multiple pitches takes longer, because every panel and trim piece gets measured and fit on site.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
