Straight answers and careful work on roof replacement in Melvin, IA. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
A new roof is one of the larger things you will spend money on, so Roofing Brothers keeps it orderly: written price, a firm start date, dry weather scheduled, and the house never left open overnight. Estimates are free and there is no pressure to sign the same day.
When a Melvin homeowner calls us about roof replacement, 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 roof replacement on your Melvin 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.
We measure the roof, look at the pitch and the cut ups, and price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers.
We show you the bad decking and price the change before it is covered, so there is never a line item you did not agree to.
Flashing at chimneys, walls and skylights gets replaced rather than reused, because that is where old roofs start leaking first.
Ridge, trim and closures go on, the gutters get cleaned out, and the whole roof gets a last look from the ground and from up top.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
We price both for Melvin homeowners so you can compare. Shingles cost less today. Metal costs more up front and usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, which is why it is the work we are known for.
We show you the boards, tell you the cost per sheet, and let you decide before we cover anything. That is the one thing that can move the price on a Melvin replacement, and you will hear about it from us first.
Widespread curling or granule loss, decking that feels soft underfoot, leaks in more than one place, or a roof that has already had several repairs. We look at your Melvin roof and tell you honestly which side of that line it is on.
A shingle roof on a typical Melvin home runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026, and metal generally $12,000 to $30,000. Steep pitch, rotten decking and complicated cut ups push both numbers up. The estimate is free and it is written down.
