Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Salem, MA. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Salem homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
Roofing Brothers has been doing roof leak repair since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Salem 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 Salem 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.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Salem homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Salem ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We can usually get a Salem roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Salem home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.

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."
