Roofing Kalona 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 Kalona roof.
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.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
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.
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.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
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.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
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.
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.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
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.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
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.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
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 Kalona 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 Kalona, 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 Iowa.
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.
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.
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 Kalona, IA homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
For most Kalona 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Kalona. 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.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Kalona 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Kalona roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Kalona 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 Kalona 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.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"Cannot say enough about how careful they were around the flower beds. Everything got covered and nothing was trampled."
"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."
"The skylight had leaked for two years and three different people had caulked it. These folks reflashed it properly and that was the end of it."
