Straight answers and careful work on metal roof installation in Empire, AL. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We have been setting metal panels on houses, churches, barns and additions for over twenty years, and the crews serving Empire install them the same way we always have. Straight lines, correct fastener spacing, and closures at the ridge so wind driven rain has nowhere to go.
Roofing Brothers has been doing metal roof installation since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Empire homeowners through our network of local crews. The standard has not moved: measure it right, fasten it right, and never cut a corner where water can find it.
Before any metal roof installation starts in Empire you will know the price, the material and the schedule. Estimates are always free, and nobody is going to push you to decide while somebody is still standing in your driveway.
How a job actually runs, from the first phone call to the last magnet pass over the driveway.
Panel type comes first — standing seam or exposed fastener — then color, then trim. We walk you through the trade offs on each one.
If the shingles are coming off, they come off, and every board underneath gets checked before anything new goes down.
We keep panels straight to a line rather than to the eye, because a metal roof shows every bit of drift the moment the sun hits it.
Every penetration gets a proper boot or flashing instead of a bead of sealant and a hope.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Empire metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
A straightforward Empire house is usually three to five days. A cut up roof with dormers, valleys and multiple pitches takes longer, because every panel and trim piece gets measured and fit on site.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Empire homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Empire metal roof can go over the top on purlins. Two layers or rot underneath and we tear off first — and we say so before you sign.
What people said once the job was finished and the trucks were gone.
"The crew was polite, cleaned up every day, and ran a magnet over the driveway before they left. My kids never found a single nail."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"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."
