Roofing in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania sits in the Mid-Atlantic, where the freeze-thaw cycles, the humid summers, and the winter snow test every roof. The temperature swings stress the flashing, the humidity feeds the algae, and the northwest cities face the lake-effect snow. Roofing in Pennsylvania means building roofs for the freeze-thaw, the humidity, and the snow — and we do it in 52 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Pennsylvania

The state splits into several roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The Philadelphia metro and the southeast — Philadelphia, Norristown, Upper Darby, and the surrounding towns — face the humidity, the nor’easters, and the freeze-thaw cycles.

The Pittsburgh metro and the west — Pittsburgh, Monroeville, Mount Lebanon, and the surrounding towns — face the cold winters, the freeze-thaw cycles, and the occasional snow.

The Erie and the northwest — Erie, Millcreek, and the lake cities — face the lake-effect snow from Lake Erie.

Pennsylvania Roofing Considerations

The freeze-thaw is the dominant force across the state. The temperature swings through the winter stress the flashing and the seals. The gaps open up and the spring rain finds them.

The humidity is the second force. The damp summers feed the algae and the moss on the north-facing slopes. The algae-resistant shingles and the regular cleaning extend the roof life.

The lake-effect snow hits the Erie area. The heavy snow piles on the roofs and the ice dams form at the eaves.
