metal roof installation for Oak Forest homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Oak Forest home that means standing seam or exposed fastener panels set over sound decking and real underlayment, with the ridge, valley and eave trim cut and fit on site rather than forced out of a box.
Our metal roof installation work in Oak Forest is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Oak Forest metal roof installation for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Panel type comes first — standing seam or exposed fastener — then color, then trim. We walk you through the trade offs on each one.
Rotten decking gets replaced and priced with you before it is covered up. Nobody wants to learn about that afterward.
Synthetic underlayment over the whole roof, ice and water shield in the valleys and at the eaves, then panels set square on the correct fastener spacing.
Every penetration gets a proper boot or flashing instead of a bead of sealant and a hope.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Oak Forest homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Most Oak Forest metal roof jobs land between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off is involved. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote and the estimate is free.
Installed properly over sound decking, a metal roof should give a Oak Forest home 40 to 60 years. Standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners to work loose or leak.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Oak Forest metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"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."
"Cannot say enough about how careful they were around the flower beds. Everything got covered and nothing was trampled."
