Straight answers and careful work on roof replacement in Thornton, IL. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
Replacing a roof on a Thornton house starts with a full tear off and a look at the decking, because there is no point putting good material over rotten boards. Anything soft gets replaced, and we price that change with you before we go on.
Roofing Brothers has been doing roof replacement since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Thornton 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 replacement starts in Thornton 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.
You will know exactly what is included and what is not. That is the part most estimates leave vague.
We show you the bad decking and price the change before it is covered, so there is never a line item you did not agree to.
Underlayment goes on the same day the deck is opened, so the house is never left uncovered overnight.
Magnet over the driveway, scrap hauled off, and your yard left the way we found it.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
We show you the boards, tell you the cost per sheet, and let you decide before we cover anything. That is the one thing that can move the price on a Thornton replacement, and you will hear about it from us first.
We price both for Thornton homeowners so you can compare. Shingles cost less today. Metal costs more up front and usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, which is why it is the work we are known for.
A shingle roof on a typical Thornton home runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026, and metal generally $12,000 to $30,000. Steep pitch, rotten decking and complicated cut ups push both numbers up. The estimate is free and it is written down.
Widespread curling or granule loss, decking that feels soft underfoot, leaks in more than one place, or a roof that has already had several repairs. We look at your Thornton roof and tell you honestly which side of that line it is on.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
