Roofing FAQ

General Roofing FAQs

Look for leaks, missing or curling shingles, sagging areas, granules in your gutters, visible mold, or a roof older than 20 years. If the damage is limited to a small area, a repair may be enough. But if you're seeing widespread issues or your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement is usually the better investment. A good rule of thumb: when multiple roofs in your neighborhood are getting replaced, it may be time for yours too. Learn more about our roof replacement services or roof repair options.

A new asphalt shingle roof in Pennsylvania costs $5.50 to $7.00 per square foot, with the average home paying $10,000 to $15,000 for a full replacement. Final cost depends on your roof's size, pitch, material choice, and whether the old roof needs to be removed first. Metal and premium materials cost more but last significantly longer. We offer financing options to fit your budget.

Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 2 days to complete, depending on the size of your home, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more complex roofs (steep pitch, multiple layers to remove, or premium materials like metal) can take 3 to 5 days. We always aim to finish as quickly as possible while maintaining quality workmanship.

Depends on the extent of damage and age of the roof.

The most common options are asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and synthetic slate or cedar. For low-slope or flat roofs, TPO, EPDM, and SBS membranes are available. Each material has different price points, lifespans, and benefits. Here's a quick comparison:

Material Lifespan Cost Range Best For
Asphalt Shingles 25-30 years $5.50-$7.00/sq ft Most homes, best value
Metal Roofing 50+ years $8.00-$14.00/sq ft Longevity, energy efficiency
Synthetic Slate 40-50 years $9.00-$12.00/sq ft Premium look, lighter weight
TPO/EPDM 20-30 years $5.00-$8.00/sq ft Flat/low-slope roofs

Budget & Insurance

Homeowner's insurance typically covers roof damage caused by sudden events like storms, hail, fallen trees, or fire, but not normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance. If your roof was damaged by a covered event, your policy may pay for repairs or replacement minus your deductible. We work with all major insurance companies and can help you through the claims process. Contact us for a free inspection to document the damage.

Yes. We offer multiple affordable financing plans, including 0% interest options, so you can get the roof you need without paying everything upfront. Our financing partner, Service Finance Company, provides flexible payment plans with quick approval. Visit our financing page to explore your options or call us at (484) 602-6863 to discuss what works best for your budget.

Yes. As certified installers for top manufacturers, we offer up to 50-year material warranties and lifetime labor warranties on qualifying installations. This means if anything goes wrong with the materials or our workmanship, you're covered. Our certifications include GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status, which are only awarded to the top roofing companies in each market.

Installation & Maintenance

This is a large construction project and can be dangerous if you are walking around the perimeter of the house as there will be debris coming off of your roof. We ask you to use caution if you chose to survey the job from the outside of your home

Yes, but it can be very noisy. If you are working from home we advise you to work remotely in a different location that day as we do not want to cause unwanted disruption

Asphalt shingle roofs last 25 to 30 years, while metal roofs can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance. Your roof's actual lifespan depends on the material, installation quality, ventilation, and local weather conditions. In Pennsylvania, freeze-thaw cycles and storms can shorten a roof's life if maintenance is neglected. Regular inspections help catch small issues before they become costly repairs.

Cleaning gutters, trimming trees, annual inspections, etc.

Siding FAQ

General Siding FAQs

Signs include cracks, warping, rot, fading, mold/mildew, high energy bills, or water damage.

Fiber Cement = Most Durable – Vinyl – Most Cost Effective

Both vinyl and fiber cement will hold up to the elements in our area. Fiber Cement will last longer and increase homes energy efficiency and curb appeal

Depends on material — vinyl: 20–40 years, fiber cement: 30–50+

Vinyl siding costs $7.00 to $9.00 per square foot installed, while fiber cement siding (like James Hardie) costs $12.00 to $15.00 per square foot installed. Total project cost depends on your home's size, the number of stories, trim work, and whether old siding needs removal. Fiber cement costs more upfront but lasts longer and requires less maintenance. We offer financing options for siding projects too.

Budget & Insurance

Usually only if the damage is from a covered event, like a storm or fire.

Depends on extent of damage and whether it matches the existing siding. Keep in mind that vinyl siding fades over time. By doing a partial replacement it will be nearly impossible to match rest of house

Gutter FAQ

General Gutter FAQs

Signs you need new gutters include sagging, visible rust or cracks, water pooling near your foundation, peeling paint behind the gutters, and gutters overflowing during rain. If you notice any of these issues, your gutters may no longer be protecting your home from water damage. Damaged gutters can lead to foundation problems, basement flooding, and fascia board rot. We offer free gutter inspections to assess the condition of your system. Learn more about our gutter installation and repair services.

K-style, half-round, seamless, sectional — made from aluminum, copper, vinyl, or steel.

Seamless gutters have fewer joints, reducing leaks and requiring less maintenance.

Varies by material, house size, and whether they're seamless — typically priced per linear foot.

Aluminum: 20+ years, copper: 50+, vinyl: 10–20, with proper maintenance.

Budget & Insurance

Guards can help, but they're not always necessary for every home.

At least twice a year — spring and fall. More often if you have overhanging trees.

Yes — water can back up under shingles or pool around the foundation, leading to expensive issues.

Often recommended — especially if gutters are old or damaged. It can save time and money.

Standard is 5" or 6" — depends on your roof's pitch and average rainfall.

Installation & Maintenance

Ask about downspout extensions, French drains, or grading around the home.

DIY is possible for sectional systems, but seamless gutters require a pro — and safe ladder use is key.

Usually a 1-day job.
