Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Kalona, IA. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Kalona homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
When a Kalona 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 Kalona 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.
On the roof we check the usual culprits first: chimney and wall flashing, valleys, penetrations, and any lap that was never sealed properly.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
You get photographs of anything we spot, with no obligation to do a thing about it today.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Kalona homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Kalona ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We can usually get a Kalona 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 Kalona 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.
"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."
"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."
"Honest people. I asked for a quote on a whole new roof and they told me mine had another eight years in it and just needed the valleys resealed. Who does that anymore?"
