Benefits of Metal Roofing
Exceptional Durability and Longevity
Metal roofs resist cracking, warping, and splitting caused by extreme weather conditions. Coated steel or aluminum stands up to hail, wind, and snow typical in southwestern Pennsylvania, lasting 40–70+ years. For Southwest Pennsylvania homes, this means decades of trouble-free performance and fewer repairs.
Superior Energy Efficiency
Reflective metal panels reduce heat absorption by reflecting solar rays and cutting HVAC costs. During Southwest Pennsylvania summers, energy-efficient coatings help cool homes faster and reduce air-conditioning usage. In winter, insulated panels help retain warmth, delivering year-round comfort and reduced energy bills.
Fire Resistance and Safety
Metal roofing is non-combustible, offering Class A fire ratings—the highest level for roofing materials. In wildfire or lightning-prone environments around Fayette County, it reduces ignition risks. With metal shingles or standing seam systems, your home gains enhanced protection and peace of mind.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Unlike asphalt or wood shingles, metal roofs require minimal upkeep. Periodic inspections and debris removal are sufficient. Coatings and sealants help prevent corrosion from road salt and acid rain in Southwest Pennsylvania. This translates into fewer maintenance calls and cost savings over time.
Eco-Friendly and Recyclable
Most metal roofs are made from recycled content and are fully recyclable at end of life. Choosing metal reduces landfill waste compared to asphalt shingles. Homeowners in Pennsylvania can feel confident choosing an environmentally responsible roofing option that leaves a lighter footprint.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Metal roofing comes in various styles—standing seam, stamped shingles, corrugated panels—and fresh color options that complement Victorian homes, contemporary designs, or rural properties. Roof accents like ridge caps and trim are customizable, boosting home curb appeal in Southwest Pennsylvania neighborhoods and scenic Fayette County areas.
Our Services
Metal Roof Installation
We install new metal roofing systems tailored to your home’s design preferences—standing seam, interlocking shingles, or panels—while ensuring precise fit, alignment, and manufacturer compliance. Custom ridge caps, trim, gutters, and fasteners complete the installation, offering decades of leak-proof protection and aesthetic appeal.
Metal Roof Replacement
For aged or damaged roofs, we remove old materials, inspect deck integrity, and install upgraded metal systems. This process includes proper underlayment, flashing, ventilation adjustments, and disposal. It revitalizes appearance, enhances performance, and ensures long-term durability under Pennsylvania's varied climates.
Metal Roof Repair
Shorten repair times and extend your roof’s lifespan with our targeted services. We address leaks, rusted panels, damaged fasteners, sealant failure, and panel alignment issues. Prompt repairs prevent interior damage and maintain weather-tight integrity—saving you money in the long run.
Roof Inspection & Maintenance
Annual or biannual inspections detect early signs of wear: corrosion, loose hardware, sealant failure, and debris buildup. We perform minor maintenance—tightening, sealant replacement, gutter clearance—helping prevent major repairs. Ideal for property managers, Realtors, and proactive homeowners looking to protect their investment.
Energy-Efficient Coatings
Upgrade with reflective and insulated coatings that boost energy performance. Applied with industry-grade tools, these finishes improve heat reflection and help inhibit moisture penetration. They’re fully compatible with our installed metal panels and are backed by manufacturer warranties for lasting savings.
Custom Flashing & Trim Solutions
Proper flashing—around chimneys, skylights, transitions, and valleys—ensures leak prevention and long-term performance. We craft custom trim and flashing that match metal panels, ensuring weather-tight integration with architectural features like dormers, gutters, and overhangs. Each detail improves both function and design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a metal roof last?
A professionally installed metal roof typically lasts 40 to 70 years, depending on materials and maintenance. Coated steel, aluminum, and copper resist weathering and degradation. With periodic inspections and minor care, metal roofs deliver decades of durable performance.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
No. When installed over proper decking, insulation, and underlayment, modern metal roofs are as quiet—or quieter—than traditional shingles. Our systems include sound-dampening layers that minimize noise. Many homeowners find that metal roofing provides peace of mind, not noise issues.
Will a metal roof increase my energy bills?
Actually, metal roofs reduce energy costs by reflecting solar radiation and improving insulation. Reflective coatings push warm air away during summer, while insulated panels help retain heat in winter, resulting in lower utility bills and year-round climate comfort.
Do metal roofs attract lightning?
No. Metal roofing does not attract lightning. It conducts electricity safely, dispersing energy to the ground rather than increasing lightning risk. When combined with proper grounding, metal roofing is a safe choice. Lightning strikes aren’t more likely than with other materials.
Can I install a metal roof over existing shingles?
In many cases, yes—if the roof deck and structure are in good condition and meets local code allowance for multiple layers. We evaluate your home’s framing, pitch, and existing materials to determine proper installation, adhesion, and load capacity before proceeding.
What is the cost difference between metal and asphalt roofs?
Metal roofs have higher upfront costs than shingles but offer significantly longer lifespans, lower maintenance, and energy savings. Over 40–50 years, total cost of ownership often proves lower for metal due to reduced replacement frequency and extended durability.
Are there financing options available for metal roofs?
Yes. Financing options are available, including home improvement loans and manufacturer-backed plans. We can help you explore payment plans, energy rebates, or roofing grants to spread costs over time without sacrificing quality or service, making metal roofs more accessible.
Does a metal roof increase the reading of solar panels?
Yes. Metal roofs provide a stable, long-term mounting surface for solar systems. Integrated clip systems designed for standing-seam setups allow easy panel installation without penetrating the roof. This ensures solar readiness and creates synergy between a durable roof and clean energy systems.

Testimonials
AH Construction did an awesome job rehabbing the outside of our house. Alvin's pricing was great. They redid everything on the outside of our house except for the wood on the side porch. Alvin's team doesn't mess around. They get to work and get it done right. I do not hesitate to recommend their work.

From start to finish Hostetler builders were professional and great to work with. Even in some harsh temperatures they worked hard to keep our project moving. My family has many years of experience in the building trades and were very impressed with their craftsmanship. We worked as a team to overcome some issues that developed towards the end and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Huge thank you to Alvin and his crew for being a part of our build!!
