Smart Choice Commercial Roofing | Roofing Services in Mercer, PA 16137

Our new roof installations in Mercer are specifically designed to combat local issues like ice dams. We use high-quality, ice and water shield underlayment at critical areas (eaves, valleys) and ensure superior attic ventilation and insulation. This combination helps maintain a consistent roof temperature, preventing the snow melt-and-refreeze cycle that causes ice dams and the subsequent water infiltration that leads to roof deck rot.

Repairing ice dam damage in Mercer requires a thorough inspection to assess the full extent. Our repairs go beyond just fixing shingles. We carefully check for and address compromised underlayment, damaged flashing, and most importantly, any signs of wood rot in the roof deck or framing. We then repair the structure, replace damaged materials with ice-dam-resistant alternatives, and often recommend adding preventative measures like heating cables to vulnerable areas.

If our inspection reveals widespread roof deck rot, a full replacement is almost always the smart choice for Mercer businesses. Reroofing (adding a new layer over the old) is only viable on a sound, solid deck. Installing a new roof over rotten wood compromises its integrity and won't solve the core problem. A full replacement allows us to safely remove all damaged materials, treat any underlying issues, and install a brand-new, weather-tight system built to last in our local climate.
