Need roof replacement in Cortland? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
When we tell a Cortland homeowner their roof is past repairing, we show them why. Then we price metal and shingle side by side so you can weigh the up front cost against how long each one is going to last on your house.
Not every Cortland roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote roof replacement we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if roof replacement on your Cortland home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
You will know exactly what is included and what is not. That is the part most estimates leave vague.
The old roof comes off down to the deck and every board gets looked at. Soft spots come out and new goes in.
Ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, then panels or shingles installed in the order they should go.
Magnet over the driveway, scrap hauled off, and your yard left the way we found it.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
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 Cortland roof and tell you honestly which side of that line it is on.
A shingle roof on a typical Cortland 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.
We price both for Cortland 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.
Yes. Tear off goes as we work rather than piling up in your Cortland yard, and the drive gets a magnet run over it before we pull out.
Real feedback from homeowners we have worked for.
"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."
"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."
