Dave's Metal Roofing | Roofing Services in Punxsutawney, PA 15767

Metal roofing is highly effective at preventing ice dams, a common issue in our area. Its smooth, slick surface allows snow and ice to slide off more easily before it can melt, refreeze, and create a dam at your eaves. This prevents water from backing up under shingles and causing interior damage. Additionally, metal roofs are often installed with proper ventilation systems to keep the roof deck cold and uniform, further reducing the conditions that lead to ice dam formation.

For a lasting fix on a leaking chimney flashing, a full repair or replacement of the flashing system is often needed. We carefully inspect the step flashing, counter flashing, and sealants around your chimney. In many cases, we can fabricate and install new, custom-fit metal flashing—often using materials that match a new metal roof—to create a watertight seal. This is a precise job, especially on older chimneys, and it's crucial to address it promptly to prevent rot in the roof deck and attic structure.

For Western Pennsylvania homes, metal roofing is a smart investment due to its exceptional durability and longevity. It stands up to our heavy snow, high winds, and temperature swings far better than traditional asphalt shingles. A properly installed metal roof can last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance, offers superior energy efficiency to reduce heating costs, and can increase your home's resale value. While the initial cost may be higher, the decades of reliable protection and avoided repair costs from issues like ice dams make it a cost-effective choice for the long haul.
