"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Eckroth’s Roofing Solutions. From the very first contact, owner Derek was immediately responsive and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to walk me through everything, answered all my questions clearly, and made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. The crew was timely, professional, and completed the job efficiently. Pricing was very fair and affordable, and I really appreciated the wide range of roofing options and brands they offered—Derek helped me choose the perfect solution for both quality and budget. Highly recommend Eckroth’s Roofing Solutions to anyone needing roofing work. Derek and his team truly deliver top-notch service!"
"William Stanley contracting was chosen to complete my roofing project at a rental property I have in Lancaster City.
The work was completed within days of our agreement and now I can rest easy knowing that I have new roofs protecting my rental property for many years to come. This company is very efficient and personable. I'm looking forward to working with them in the near future."
"The roofing crew arrived promptly, started right away, did an outstanding job with removing shingles, and doing complete GAF roof install. Finished in a remarkable time. The whole process with the company was excellent from start to finish. Everything was beyond well done. I would highly recommend this company."
"William Braun is a pure professional. Friendly and thoughtful customer service. He fixed a patch of my roof shingles that blew away in a wind storm. He made time to come out earlier than planned to ensure I had a fixed roof before a big snow. I will use him again for sure. Highly recommend."
"Fantastic work! They fixed what other contractors tried and failed. I was told my only option was a replacement, they were able to save our roof at nowhere near the cost of a replacement. I highly recommend"

"Alvin did an excellent job replacing my roof. He was polite and smiled frequently. Went over everything he was doing for the roof repair with my family. He and his team found 3 baby squirrels in the soffits. He put them in a box. Momma squirrel did come back and get her babies! I would recommend Zook Roofing and Beyond to anyone who needs work on their roof. He is a skilled roofer."
Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.
Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn’t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.
Gable roof construction can last for 100 years or more without needing structural repairs, although the lifespan depends on your climate. Since gable roofs are great at shedding rain and snow, the actual roofing material on top will last for between 20 and 100 years or more, depending on the material you choose. If you’re unsure that your gable roof is up to par, have a roof inspector take a look.
Ideally, you shouldn’t pay your roofer upfront unless you’re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project’s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.
Technically speaking, yes, verbal agreements and “handshake deals” can be legally binding contracts that will hold up in court, but the suing party will need to be able to prove that the parties entered into the contract. Even though verbal and handshake deals can be binding, it’s risky to rely on these types of agreements for anything, including roofing projects. Always aim to get your contract in writing, and make sure it includes all terms and that you don’t agree to additional terms that don’t appear in the contract.
