Roofing Princeton 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 Princeton roof.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
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.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
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.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
Coatings for low slope and older metal roofs that are still sound but weathered. Washed down, refastened, primed at the rust, then coated.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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.
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.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
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.
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 Princeton 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 Princeton, 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 California.
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.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
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.
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 Princeton, CA homeowners about metal roofs, repairs and what a roof costs.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Princeton 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Princeton. 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 Princeton 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Princeton metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Most Princeton 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.
For most Princeton 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.
What people say once the crew has packed up and gone home.
"Straightforward from the first phone call. Free estimate, a clear price, no upselling, and the roof was finished in three days."
"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."
"Showed up when they said they would, both days. That alone puts them ahead of the last three contractors I hired."
