Expert Home Construction INC installs, repairs and replaces roofs across the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley. Shingle, metal and flat systems built for Pennsylvania snow load, storm work and 24/7 emergency service.
Pennsylvania roofs take a beating that coastal roofs never see. Heavy snow load in the Poconos, ice dams along the eaves, freeze and thaw cycles that pry shingles loose, and summer storms that roll off the ridges. Expert Home Construction INC has spent fifteen years installing, repairing and replacing roofs built specifically for those conditions, from Lansdale and Allentown out to the lake communities and the mountains.
The company is registered, licensed and insured. Storm damage documentation and insurance claims assistance are handled in house, roof financing is available through GoodLeap, and the phone is answered around the clock, which matters more in a Pennsylvania January than almost anywhere else.
A mountain roof fails differently than a suburban one. Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold eave, forcing water backward under the shingles. The fix is never just new shingles: it is correct ventilation, proper ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, and insulation that keeps the roof deck cold. We inspect for all of it before quoting, because covering the symptom leaves the leak waiting for the next thaw.
On a full replacement, the old roof comes off down to the decking, rotted plywood is replaced, and a fresh weather barrier goes down with extended ice and water shield in the areas Pennsylvania weather punishes most. Architectural shingles rated for high wind and heavy snow go on next, with the attic ventilation checked and corrected so the whole system can breathe. On repairs, we move fast, because a small leak in a Pennsylvania winter becomes an ice problem before it becomes a water stain.
Storm work is a large part of what we do here. Wind and hail off the ridges damage roofs in ways that are hard to see from the ground, so we inspect, photograph and document everything, tarp the same day when water is getting in, and meet the insurance adjuster on site to handle the claim from the first call to the final shingle. That assistance costs you nothing.

What holds up in Pennsylvania is not just the roof but the way the job is run. Materials are ordered to snow load spec, start dates are set around the mountain weather window, and after the crew tears off and installs, the property gets a full magnet sweep for stray nails before anyone leaves. In a climate this hard on roofs, follow through is what separates a roof that lasts twenty winters from one that starts leaking after two. Fifteen years working these ridges and valleys has taught us exactly where Pennsylvania roofs fail and how to build so they do not.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for high wind and heavy snow are the workhorse roof in Pennsylvania. They handle freeze thaw cycles, come in a wide color range, and cost less upfront than metal or membrane systems.
Standing seam metal sheds snow instead of holding it, which matters on a Pennsylvania mountain roof. It lasts far longer than asphalt and resists wind uplift, and the higher upfront cost pays back over the life of the roof.
Flat and low slope roofs need a membrane system rather than shingles. Common on additions and porches, where drainage, seams and proper slope matter far more in freeze thaw country than the material itself.
From ice dam damage to a full mountain roof replacement, these are the roofing services we cover on homes across Pennsylvania.
01
Complete roof installation on new builds and full replacements. Ice and water shield, drip edge, flashing and ridge vent installed to spec for Pennsylvania snow load and freeze thaw cycles, keeping the warranty valid.
02
Full tear off to the decking, rotted plywood replaced, then a new snow rated roof system installed. Old materials hauled away and the property left clean before the crew leaves the site.
03
Lifted shingles, cracked flashing, failed sealant and ice damaged sections repaired the same visit when possible. Written pricing before any work starts, with no hidden fees and no surprise mountain markups.
04
Ice dams, water stains and wet attic insulation traced to the real source. Most Pennsylvania leaks start at the eaves, valleys or poor ventilation, so we fix the cause rather than the shingle above it.
05
Wind, hail and fallen limb damage inspected, photographed and repaired. Emergency tarping stops water fast, and the permanent repair is scheduled once the ordered materials reach the property.
06
A full inspection of shingles, flashing, valleys, vents and attic ventilation. You get photos of what was found and a clear explanation of what needs attention before the next Pennsylvania winter.
07
Scheduled maintenance that catches small problems before snow season. Sealant renewed, debris cleared, flashing checked and fasteners tightened before ice and heavy snow arrive in the mountains each year.
08
Storm claims documented with dated photos and a written scope. We meet the adjuster on site and handle the entire back and forth with the carrier, at no cost to you.
Free inspection, written estimate, no obligation. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays included, when a Pennsylvania roof cannot wait.
Shingles that curl, crack or go missing let water reach the decking underneath the roof.
Brown stains spreading across ceilings or upper walls point to a roof leak above them.
Piles of shingle granules in the gutters mean the roof surface is wearing out fast.
Light coming through the attic boards means there are gaps the weather is getting through.
A roof line that dips or sags usually means trapped moisture has weakened the decking.
Heating and cooling bills climbing each year often trace back to poor attic ventilation.
It depends on square footage, pitch, the material and how many old layers come off. Mountain access and snow rated materials can affect it too. The inspection and written estimate are both free, so you get a real number before deciding.
Yes, constantly. Ice dams come from attic heat melting snow that refreezes at the eave. We fix the cause with ventilation, insulation and ice and water shield, not just the shingle, so the problem does not come back every thaw.
Yes. We photograph and document the damage, write the scope, meet the adjuster on site and deal with the carrier. It is included at no cost. Storm claims are a normal part of Pennsylvania roofing work.
Yes, 24/7. Call (267) 575-3440 any hour. We tarp the roof to stop water from reaching your ceilings, then schedule the permanent repair once materials are in, even for the lake and mountain communities.
Shingle, metal, flat and EPDM rubber. Each one suits a different roof, a different slope and a different budget. During the inspection we tell you which system your house actually needs instead of pushing the most expensive one.
Yes. We offer roof financing through GoodLeap, so the full replacement does not have to come out of pocket at once. Ask about it during the estimate and we will go through the options with you.
