Harrisburg's housing stock is unusually varied for a mid-size city, and a roofer here has to be able to work on all of it.
In the space of three miles you can go from 1890s slate-roofed rowhouses in Olde Uptown, to flat-roofed workers' housing in Allison Hill, to 1907 Colonial Revival estates in Bellevue Park, to postwar ranches in Colonial Park, to 1990s colonials in Lower Paxton. Those are five different roofs requiring five different skill sets, and plenty of companies only really do one of them.
We do all of it. That is the practical advantage of being based in the city rather than driving in from a suburban office park — we work on this housing stock every week and we know how it fails.
A rough map of our residential work over a typical year.
Curling, granule loss, repeated leaks. The largest share of our work is planned replacement for homeowners who would rather choose their timing than have February choose it for them.
Split seams, ponding and bad party-wall terminations on the rear sections of attached houses across the older neighborhoods.
Wind and hail after summer thunderstorm complexes, plus tree strikes in the mature-canopy neighborhoods along the river.
January and February bring the meltwater calls — ice at the eave, water in an upstairs wall, condensation mistaken for a leak.
Slipped slates, failed valleys and undoing decades of tar patches on the city's older homes.
Buyers and sellers who need an honest written assessment before a negotiation. We do them for a flat fee and we do not upsell off them.
Every estimate is itemized. You will see tear-off, disposal, decking allowance, underlayment, ice and water shield, starter, field material, ridge, flashing, ventilation and labor as separate lines. That is what makes bids comparable, and it is the single most useful thing a homeowner can ask for.
We do not do same-day-only pricing, we do not send a closer, and we do not start with a wildly inflated number so we can discount it. The estimate you get on Tuesday will be the same number on Friday.
Financing is available for replacements, and we will never ask for the full project cost up front. A reasonable deposit with payment tied to milestones is the standard, and any contractor asking otherwise is telling you something about their cash position.
Storm chasers are a real problem in Central Pennsylvania. After a significant hail or wind event, out-of-state crews work the county for a few weeks and move on. The work is sometimes fine and sometimes not, and either way there is nobody to call in year three.
Our address is 1000 N Cameron Street. Our crews live in this county. When a homeowner in Penbrook or Paxtang calls about a detail on a roof we installed two winters ago, we come look at it — because we are going to be selling roofs on the same blocks next year and the year after.
That is the entire argument for hiring locally, and it is worth more than a door-knocker's discount.
Our process
No surprises, no change orders you did not agree to, and photographs of anything we find before it gets covered.
We walk the roof, check the attic, and give you a written report with photographs — including the parts that are fine.
Repair, replace or monitor. If your roof has five good years left, we will tell you that even though it is not the sale we would prefer.
Every component priced separately, material options side by side, financing explained if you want it.
A date, a material delivery plan and a realistic duration, with clear communication if weather moves things.
Landscaping and AC protected, daily cleanup, magnet sweeps, and a crew lead who is on site and reachable.
Final inspection with you, written workmanship warranty and manufacturer registration handled on your behalf.
Why us for this job
Roofing is a trade with a reputation problem and a good share of it is earned. Here is what is different about how this job runs with us.
Ask any contractor for these before you sign
Rowhome flats in Allison Hill, slate hips in Bellevue Park, postwar shingle in Colonial Park, 1990s colonials in Lower Paxton with ridge vents and no intake. Those are five different skill sets and plenty of companies here only really do one.
Tear-off, disposal, decking allowance, underlayment, shield, starter, field material, ridge, flashing, ventilation and labour, each priced separately. It is the single most useful thing a homeowner can ask a contractor for.
The estimate you get on Tuesday is the same number on Friday. We do not send a salesperson, we do not open high so we can discount, and we do not ask for the full project cost up front.
1000 N Cameron Street. After a big storm, out-of-state crews work this county for a few weeks and move on. We will be selling roofs on the same blocks next year, which is why we come back to look at a detail that is bothering you.
Honest pricing
Published figures for this market put a typical asphalt shingle replacement somewhere around $8,300 to $16,000, with metal considerably higher. Repairs range from a modest single-visit invoice to several thousand for structural or flashing-heavy work. Your number depends on your roof, and we will measure it before we quote it.
Get three written quotes and read them line by line. If ours is not the cheapest, we will show you exactly which lines account for the difference — and if the other bid is genuinely equivalent, we will tell you that too.
Squares, walkability and the number of valleys, dormers and penetrations.
The two biggest sources of quote-to-quote variance, and the two most commonly hidden.
Architectural asphalt, Class 4 impact-rated, metal or slate — four very different budgets and four very different lifespans.
Adding soffit intake or correcting exhaust is real work, and skipping it voids shingle warranties.
On a covered storm loss, most of the cost flows through the claim and your exposure is the deductible.
Where we do this work
Residential work covers the whole service area and the housing changes character every few miles. City work — Midtown, Allison Hill, Camp Curtin, Uptown — means rowhomes, party walls and tight access. The inner-ring boroughs of Penbrook and Paxtang bring twins and steep early-century pitches. East and north through Colonial Park, Paxtonia and Lower Paxton Township it is postwar and late-century suburban stock, and across the river Camp Hill, Lemoyne and New Cumberland round out the map.
FAQs
The questions Harrisburg homeowners actually ask us on this job.
No. Inspections and estimates for repair and replacement work are free, and you get the written report whether or not you hire us. Pre-purchase inspections for buyers are a flat fee because they are a different service.
We are based at 1000 N Cameron Street in the 17103 and we work this county exclusively. That means our crews know the neighborhoods, the housing stock and the inspectors, and it means we are still here when a warranty question comes up.
Yes, on replacement projects. A roof is rarely a planned expense and we would rather help you do it properly than watch you buy the cheapest possible version of it.
Harrisburg and its neighborhoods, all of Dauphin County, and the near West Shore — roughly a twenty-mile radius from our shop. The full list is on our service areas page.
A full replacement requires a building permit from the City of Harrisburg, and each surrounding borough and township runs its own process — Penbrook, Paxtang, Susquehanna Township and Lower Paxton all differ slightly. Small repairs generally do not require one. The part worth understanding: whoever pulls the permit is the party accountable for the work meeting code, so a contractor who asks you to pull it yourself is quietly moving that liability onto you. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and show the fee as its own line on the estimate rather than burying it.
