L. Gong says: „I bumped into a steel roof ads the other day. My old roof from GAF is 18 years old. So I put my information in. Erie Home called me within 20 minutes and set up an appointment.
Bryce and Matt came to my house in appointment day. Both I and spouse had to be there. They went into the attic and walked around the house and shared some pictures of concerns. Erie's steel roof is too expensive. We settled down on the fiberglass asphalt shingles, a blend of materials which is better than asphalt alone. The 120 mph gust resistance is quite impressive. Normal shingles can only last 70 mph gust. Erie gives 10 yrs free materials/labor warranty on any roof defects and 20 yrs free materials warranty. No proration on the material cost like other companies do. After the first year, any visits require a $125 service charge subject to inflation. They also threw in bonus for free like premium underlayment and gutter guard. With the bonus and discount, the price is still steep. The inflation over the years does take its toll.
We watched the weather forecast closely and made sure there would be no down pour on installation date. They dropped the materials on the roof a day earlier.
An all Mexican crew showed up at 6am and started the work. The foreman, Antonio can speak some English. A lady named Adriana was the point of contact. The entire job was done in less than 10 hrs. I was quite impressed. They fixed a warping OSB panel and installed the flashing and drip edge properly. All my existing features (bathroom fan, solar attic fan, etc.) were kept as is. It looked like 3 layers on top of the OSB decking, water barrier, premium underlayment then the shingles. They also cleaned up quite well after themselves using blower, and rolling magnet cart. I offered a case of bottled water. They didn't even bother to go in to use the bathroom. They seemed to handle the job very professionally. The roof does look much better. I am hoping this new roof will also lower my upstairs temperature (it's 5 to 6 degree F higher than downstairs with the old roof).
The dumpster on the driveway is huge. They said it took about 3 business days to have it hauled away.
A good installation is the key to have a long lasting roof. From what I saw, I have high confidence this roof would last 30 yrs.
Update (6/10/2024):
I went on the attic and found a gap at the edge. Texted Adriana on Sunday and on Monday a crew showed up at my door. They fixed it promptly. Very satisfied with the quick response...“ Show more
