Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Bradford, VT. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
A leak in a Bradford house almost never announces where it started. Water runs down decking and along rafters before it finally shows on a ceiling, so we work backward from the stain to the real point of entry and fix that.
When a Bradford homeowner calls us about roof leak repair, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the roof leak repair on your Bradford home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
Where the attic is accessible we go up with a light and follow the tracks back toward the entry point.
If it is not obvious we test with water rather than guessing and charging you for a repair that fixes nothing.
We repair what is letting water in rather than the symptom, which usually means reworking flashing instead of adding more sealant.
You get photographs of anything we spot, with no obligation to do a thing about it today.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Bradford ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Bradford homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We can usually get a Bradford roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Bradford home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
"Twenty year old tin roof with screws backing out everywhere. They refastened the whole thing with new washers instead of talking me into a replacement I did not need."
"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."
"Called about shingles that blew off in a storm. They were out the next morning, patched it, and would not take a dime more than what the estimate said."
