East Coast Metal Roofing | Roofing Services in Allentown, PA 18106

Metal roofs have a smooth, slippery surface that allows snow and ice to slide off more easily before they can melt and refreeze at the eaves, which is how ice dams form. Properly installed with adequate insulation and ventilation—which we always ensure—a metal roof significantly reduces the risk of ice dam damage, protecting your roof structure and interior from water infiltration common in our Pennsylvania winters.

We use high-quality, pre-finished metals like Galvalume or aluminum for our flashing systems. These materials have superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional steel, which is crucial in Allentown's humid and variable climate where rust is a common issue. Our expert installation ensures all flashing details are watertight and durable, providing long-term protection for your roof's most vulnerable points.

It depends on the extent of the corrosion. For minor surface rust, a professional cleaning and resealing might be sufficient. However, in most cases here in the Lehigh Valley, once flashing is significantly rusted, its integrity is compromised. We recommend a full replacement with modern, rust-resistant materials to ensure a lasting repair and prevent future leaks or wood rot, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
