Roof Installation in Lancaster, PA
New construction and additions need a roof built right from the deck up. We install complete roof systems to code, coordinated with your build schedule.
A new roof is a system, not just shingles
On a new build or addition, the roof is your first line of defense for the next 20-plus years. Underlayment, ventilation, flashing details, and the shingle system all have to work together, or you inherit problems on a brand-new home.
On new work there's no old roof to blame and no history to inherit, which sounds simple but cuts both ways. Every detail is a decision someone makes now: how the attic breathes, how the valleys are woven, how the flashing ties into the walls and the chimney. Get those right and the roof stays quiet for decades. Get them wrong and the homeowner is chasing leaks and ice dams on a house that's supposed to be brand new.
Our approach
How we install
We work from your plans, install the full system to manufacturer and code spec, and get the ventilation and flashing details right the first time. We coordinate with your builder or GC so the roof goes on when it should.
We build from the deck up. That means checking that the sheathing is sound and properly fastened, laying ice-and-water shield at the eaves and in the valleys where our winters drive water backward, and running a balanced ventilation system so the attic can breathe from the soffit to the ridge. Skipping ventilation is one of the most common shortcuts on new construction, and it's the one that quietly voids shingle warranties and shortens the life of the roof.
Because a new build has a lot of moving parts, we stay in step with your builder or GC on the schedule. The roof needs to go on after the house is dried in but before the trades that depend on a weather-tight shell get to work, and we don't want to be the reason the job stalls. We show up when we said we would, do the work clean, and leave the site ready for the next crew.
You get a clean install, our lifetime craftsmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty in writing, and a roof that matches the rest of the home.

Questions
Roof Installation, answered
Do you work with builders and general contractors?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your builder or GC and schedule the install to fit the build so the roof goes on at the right stage.
What does a new roof installation include?
The full system: underlayment, ice-and-water shield, proper attic ventilation, flashing and penetration details, and the shingle or metal system itself, all installed to code and manufacturer spec so a brand-new home doesn't inherit roofing problems.
What roofing materials can I choose for a new build?
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor we install Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed shingles, plus standing-seam metal. We'll match the roof to the home's style and your budget.
How far ahead should I schedule a new-construction roof?
Reach out as soon as you have a framing timeline. We coordinate with your builder or GC and slot the roof in at the right stage so it isn't holding up the rest of the build.
What warranty comes with a new roof installation?
You get our craftsmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty on the system we install. We go through the exact terms before work starts.
Do you install roofs on garages, additions, and outbuildings?
Yes. Detached garages, additions, sunrooms, and outbuildings all get the same complete-system install as a main roof, matched to the existing home.
Are you licensed and insured for new construction?
Yes. We're a registered PA Home Improvement Contractor (PA195142), carry insurance, and are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Your builder is hiring an accountable business.
What attic ventilation do you install on a new roof?
A balanced system of intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge, sized to the attic. Getting this right from the start is what keeps a new roof from cooking itself and voiding warranties.
Do you handle the roofing permit?
Where a permit is required, we handle or coordinate it as part of the job so it isn't left to you or holding up the build.
How much does a new roof installation cost?
It depends on the roof size, pitch, complexity, and the system you choose. We work from your plans and give a written, itemized estimate rather than a rough guess.
Can you match the roof to an HOA or the neighborhood?
Yes. We offer a range of shingle colors and styles and will help you pick a product that meets HOA rules and fits the home.
Can you do the gutters on a new build too?
Yes. Since we're already sizing the roof and setting the edge details, it's a natural time to add seamless gutters so the water path is finished from the roof down to the ground in one coordinated job.
Can you handle low-slope porch or addition sections on a new build?
Yes. A lot of new homes have a low-slope porch roof or a flat section over an addition that a standard shingle can't protect on its own. We install the right membrane on those areas and tie it cleanly into the pitched roof so the whole thing sheds water as one system.
