Roofing South Lyme homes the way we have since 2002 — measured on site, priced in writing, and finished the way we would want our own roof finished.
Pick a service to see how we handle it and what the job usually looks like on a South Lyme 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.
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.
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.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
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.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
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.
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.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
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.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
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.
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.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
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 South Lyme 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 South Lyme, 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 Connecticut.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions from South Lyme, CT 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 South Lyme 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 South Lyme 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 South Lyme 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a South Lyme roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
No. Estimates are always free in South Lyme. 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the South Lyme 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.
