Straight answers and careful work on metal roof installation in Long Lake, MN. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Long Lake 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.
When a Long Lake homeowner calls us about metal roof installation, 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 metal roof installation on your Long Lake 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.
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.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Long Lake homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Most Long Lake 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 Long Lake 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 Long Lake metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
What people said once the job was finished and the trucks were gone.
"They found a leak two other roofers could not. Turned out to be the chimney flashing, not the roof at all. Fixed in one afternoon and it has been dry ever since."
"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."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
