Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Northampton, PA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Northampton.
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.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
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.
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.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
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.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
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.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Hard wind lifts shingles and works panel fasteners loose along the edges, which is exactly where the next storm gets underneath. We refasten, replace and reseal.
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.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
A metal roof is the thing we do best. Our family has been installing them out of Morganton, North Carolina since 2002, and our crews bring that same work to Northampton: standing seam, exposed fastener panels, and ridge and valley trim that fits instead of being forced.
Shingles still make sense on a lot of Northampton houses, and we will say so when they do. What we will not do is talk you into metal when your budget or your roof does not call for it. Estimates are free either way.
Here is what Northampton homeowners tell us makes the difference.
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.
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.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
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.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
No. Estimates are always free in Northampton. 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Northampton 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.
A typical Northampton 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Northampton 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.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Northampton roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
For most Northampton 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.
Honest words from customers who trusted Roofing Brothers with their roof.

"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."
