Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Prospect, PA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Prospect.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
Guards and screens so you are not up a ladder every fall digging pine needles out of the gutter by hand.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Prospect homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.
We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Prospect home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.
Here is what Prospect homeowners tell us makes the difference.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Prospect roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
A metal roof installed properly on a Prospect home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Prospect metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Prospect roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Prospect roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
For most Prospect homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
