"I recently hired Tops Roofing & Remodeling to replace the roof on my mother's house in Erie, PA. She applied for financing which first required Tops to jump through a few hurdles to qualify as a contractor for that financing. Tom was thoroughly responsive to those requests for information from the lender and did so in a timely manner. During the roof installation, Tom stayed in contact with me by phone to provide daily progress updates and scope of work updates. Since I live out of town, the communication provided during this entire process was absolutely necessary for me to get this done. I needed a contractor who I could communicate with and trust that things were getting done the way we agreed to and thankfully that company is Tops Roofing and Remodel. We also appreciated the respect and professionalism of the crew and are happy with the finished product."
"All the people at Western PA slate are great. I have worked with them for about 9 years now. I hired them to do my roof and my parentâ s roof. I have a large Victorian home that had not been properly maintained for years . Sometimes leaks are hard to pinpoint on older homes. Western PA Slate is up for the challenge. My parentâ s home is from the 1920â s. Their slate roof was at the end of its life. They came and did a total tear off. They replaced it with a higher quality slate. I highly recommend them for all slate roofing projects."
"Caleb was very knowledgeable on what my roof needed. Caleb recommended that the whole roof be replaced and I agreed was thinking of a metal roof just put over the original and didn’t realize the extra weight that was added to that so glad he talked me out of it."
"Keystone Roof solutions was a lifesaver, while everybody else came out with estimates that were completely high unrealistic. Keystone offered a very affordable option for our roof replacement needs. They were also very helpful , doing extra work for a very reasonable price.
They replaced our roof in a matter of 3 days and kept us posted with every single detail during the process. Don't go Anywhere else."

They they were very knowledgeable. About the job. He explained everything that was in the contract and what would be provided, and he patiently answered all of my questions. His crew came in and worked it took one day for them to complete the roof. They were very careful in checking our property to make sure that everything was cleaned up. We and they removed all the debris that they had from the roofing project. They were great to work with, and I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"I had a different contractor changing the profile of part of the roof of our house and they found that the existing rubber roof was not in good condition beyond the area they were scheduled to replace. That contractor allowed me a credit for the part they would have replaced and I contracted with Erie Custom Exteriors to put metal roofing on the whole house. Don was responsive on my need to get a quote and then to get the work done within a reasonable time because, while not an "emergency", part of my finish roofing had already been removed. The work went well and the attention to details was good. In addition to the metal roofing installation itself, they opened the roof to restore a broken/missing plumbing vent and also replaced a rusted kitchen exhaust vent. While they were not the lowest quote, I consider the quality of their work to be worth the difference."

No, a metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs help keep your home cooler by reflecting heat instead of absorbing and transmitting it inside. Metal also has high thermal conductivity, which means it gains and loses heat quickly. While the sun may heat the metal, the roof rapidly transfers that heat back into the air rather than retaining it. This reflective property can lead to energy cost savings of up to 40%, as your cooling system won't need to work as hard to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.
A gable roof with steep pitches covered in asphalt shingles or wood shakes is the most popular roof for Cape Cod homes. Asphalt shingles started gaining popularity in the early 1900s, so wood shake roofs, which were popular in the 1700s when Cape Cod homes were first built, are the traditional option. You can further modernize your Cape Cod home by raising the roof in the front, back, or both to add living space and change up the traditional single-gable roof with doghouse dormers.
A gable roof costs between $13,000 and $30,000, depending on the size of your roof, the materials you use, and the type of gable roof you install. If you’re building a gable roof for new construction or as part of a major home remodel, your pricing will also depend on the type of roof trusses you use, how accessible your property is, and some other factors.
The best type of roof vent depends on the size, type, and construction of your roof as well as the environmental conditions in and around your home. In many cases, an active ventilation system that draws in fresh air and exhausts air out through the attic is the most effective. Active ventilation systems include roof ridge vents with baffles, turbine vents, and soffit vents that are used together with another type of vent.
