Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Kinzers, PA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Kinzers.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Kinzers homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.
We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Kinzers home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.
Here is what Kinzers homeowners tell us makes the difference.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Kinzers metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Kinzers ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
For most Kinzers homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Kinzers roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
No. Estimates are always free in Kinzers. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
Most Kinzers houses are a two to four day job. A straightforward shingle roof can be done in a day or two. A cut up metal roof takes longer because every panel, valley and trim piece is measured and fit on site rather than pulled out of a box.
