A family roofing company serving Rapids City and the rest of Illinois through our network of local crews. Tin roofs, repairs and replacements done right.
From a single lifted panel to a full tear off, we handle every roofing job a Rapids City, IL home is likely to need.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
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.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
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.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
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 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.
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.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Estimates are always free. That line has been on everything we have printed since 2002 and it still is. Somebody comes out to your Rapids City home, gets on the roof, looks in the attic if there is a way in, and leaves you a written price.
No pressure and no price that expires if you do not sign that day. If your Rapids City roof needs a repair rather than a replacement, we will tell you so, even though the repair is the smaller ticket.
A family roofing company that has kept the same habits since 2002.
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.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
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.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
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.
Wondering about metal versus shingle, or what a new roof runs in Rapids City? Start here.
A typical Rapids City 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Rapids City 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Rapids City 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.
For most Rapids City 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 Rapids City 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Rapids City roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Second roof they have done for our family. My sister used them first and would not hear of me calling anybody else."
"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."
"They roofed our addition and tied in the porch that runs off it. One crew, one number to call, and every line of it matched up."
We take care of homeowners in these neighboring communities as well.
