Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Kankakee, IL. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
A leak in a Kankakee house almost never announces where it started. Water runs down decking and along rafters before it finally shows on a ceiling, so we work backward from the stain to the real point of entry and fix that.
Roofing Brothers has been doing roof leak repair since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Kankakee 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 roof leak repair starts in Kankakee 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.
Knowing when it leaks — every rain, only in a driving wind, only after snow — narrows it down quickly.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
We repair what is letting water in rather than the symptom, which usually means reworking flashing instead of adding more sealant.
Then we clean up and give you an honest word on how much life the roof has left.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
Yes, and it is included. A Kankakee roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
Most leak repairs on a Kankakee home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Kankakee homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Kankakee home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
What people said once the job was finished and the trucks were gone.
"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?"
"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."
"Metal roof on the barn and one on the shed while they were already out here. Good work on both and the price was fair for that much steel."
