A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.
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.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
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.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
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.
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.
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.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
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.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Roofing Brothers has been a family business since 2002, when we started putting metal roofs on houses around Morganton, North Carolina. Two decades later the work has not changed much — good panels, straight lines, honest prices — and that is what our crews bring to homes across Kailua.
With a population near 51,715, Kailua has every kind of roof there is: brick ranches, log homes, additions with three different pitches tied together. We have worked on all of it, and we would rather tell you the truth about yours than sell you the biggest job on the sheet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions from Kailua, HI homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Kailua 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 Kailua roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
A typical Kailua 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 Kailua 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 Kailua 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.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Kailua ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
We would rather let the work, and the people who paid for it, do the talking.
"Good crew and a good roof. It took about a week longer than planned because of rain, but they called every single time the schedule moved, which I appreciated."
