Elwell Construction | Roofing Services in Erie, PA 16508

In our Erie climate, the most frequent cause is failed or deteriorated flashing around the skylight due to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation. Our repair process starts with a careful inspection to locate all breach points. We then remove the compromised flashing, install new, high-quality metal flashing sealed with professional-grade waterproofing, and ensure proper integration with your existing roof system to prevent future leaks.

Inadequate ventilation traps heat and moisture in your attic. In winter, this melts snow unevenly, leading to ice dams along your eaves—a major issue here in Erie. In summer, it drastically increases cooling costs and can warp roof decking. Signs include excessive attic heat, visible mold or mildew on rafters, peeling paint in eaves, and of course, ice dams. We perform a detailed assessment of your intake and exhaust vents and recommend a balanced system tailored to your roof's design.

Yes, we understand that roofing emergencies don't wait for business hours, especially with Erie's unpredictable lake-effect weather. We offer prompt emergency tarping and temporary repair services to immediately prevent water intrusion and protect your home's interior. Following that, we'll schedule a comprehensive inspection and permanent repair at your earliest convenience to ensure the job is done right for the long term.
