Need metal roof installation in Lake George? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
A metal roof is what Roofing Brothers is known for, and it has been since 2002. On a Lake George 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.
Our metal roof installation work in Lake George is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Lake George metal roof installation for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
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.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment, a Lake George metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed to open purlins on a barn.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Lake George metal roof can go over the top on purlins. Two layers or rot underneath and we tear off first — and we say so before you sign.
Around twenty standard colors. Green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones most Lake George homeowners land on. We bring the chart with the estimate so you can hold it against your siding.
Most Lake George 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.
