"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."

"We were in need of a new roof for our food pantry. And we received several quotes and decided to go with Troyer Construction LLC. Roy and his crew were wonderful to work with.
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."

Whether or not the terms of your roofing estimate are negotiable depends on the contractor. Some professional roofers will be willing to budge on labor fees to some extent, while others will simply walk away from the potential work rather than lower their fees. In most cases, it’s best not to negotiate the terms, as lower labor charges could lead to your contractor cutting corners. Material costs aren’t negotiable, but you could purchase them yourself to try to save on delivery fees and markups.
Just like when you’re shingling a roof, you can install felt underlayment under a metal roof, but a synthetic underlayment like adhered ice and water shield is the best option. These use adhesives rather than mechanical fasteners, so you have fewer penetrations going through your roof deck and a lower risk of leaks. Ice and water shield is also easier to install because you don’t need additional tools or fasteners to attach it to the roof deck.
Ensures precision fitting, optimizing durability and efficiency against weather elements.
Always inform your insurance company when you get a new roof. A new roof may entitle you to lower rates or discounts, and if you need to make a claim, they’ll have up-to-date information on your roof. You’ll need to provide documentation—ask your insurance agent what you need to submit to prove you had your roof replaced.
Metal roofs last for between 50 and 70 years, and asphalt roofs last for between 20 and 25 years, with some lasting as long as 30 years. In most cases, you’ll get double the life or more out of a metal roof than you would from a shingle roof, which helps make the higher cost of a metal roof more manageable.
