A family roofing company serving Shutesbury and the rest of Massachusetts through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a Shutesbury roof.
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.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
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.
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.
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.
Coatings for low slope and older metal roofs that are still sound but weathered. Washed down, refastened, primed at the rust, then coated.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
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.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
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.
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.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
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.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
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.
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 Shutesbury 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 Shutesbury, 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 Massachusetts.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions from Shutesbury, MA homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Shutesbury 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 Shutesbury 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Shutesbury 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.
For most Shutesbury 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 Shutesbury 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 Shutesbury. 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.
"New gutters and guards after they did our roof. No more climbing up there every October to dig out pine needles by hand."
"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."
"Roof on our shop building. They worked Saturdays so we did not have to shut the doors during the week."
