Roofing Gladwyne 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 Gladwyne roof.
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.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
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.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
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.
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.
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.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
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.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
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 Gladwyne 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 Gladwyne, 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 Pennsylvania.
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.
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.
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 Gladwyne, PA homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
For most Gladwyne 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.
A metal roof installed properly on a Gladwyne 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.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Gladwyne 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.
Most Gladwyne metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Gladwyne 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Gladwyne 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.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"Straightforward from the first phone call. Free estimate, a clear price, no upselling, and the roof was finished in three days."
"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 replaced the soffit and fascia the squirrels had chewed through and closed everything back up tight. No more scratching in the attic at night."
