P. Smith Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Erie, PA 16508

Proper gutter installation is crucial in Erie to manage the heavy snow melt and rain that can lead to roof leaks and ice dams. We design and install seamless gutter systems with the correct pitch and downspout placement to efficiently channel water away from your roof, siding, and foundation. This prevents water from backing up under shingles and protects vulnerable areas like roof flashing from excess moisture, which is a common cause of rust and failure in our climate.

Absolutely. When we construct building additions, new rooms, or decks in Erie, we treat the connection to your existing structure as a critical detail. This includes integrating new roofing and flashing with your current roof system to ensure a seamless, watertight seal. We pay special attention to these transitions to prevent the very leaks and flashing issues common after our winter seasons, ensuring your new space is beautiful, functional, and fully protected.

Not necessarily. Many leaks are localized, often at flashing points around chimneys, vents, or valleys. As local roofing specialists, we first conduct a thorough inspection to pinpoint the source, which is often rusted or failed flashing exacerbated by our freeze-thaw cycles. We can typically perform targeted repairs, including flashing replacement, to resolve the issue. If damage is extensive or your roof is near the end of its lifespan, we'll provide honest advice on whether a repair or a full roof replacement is the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your Erie home.
