Erie Premium Roofing provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Erie, PA for residential and commercial properties across northwestern Pennsylvania. Practically every pitched roof in this county wears asphalt, so the question worth asking is not whether to use it. It is which laminate, over what kind of deck, and whether the coverage you are being promised will hold up when somebody actually tries to use it.
Take the coverage first, because that is where Erie homeowners lose. Enhanced warranties are conditional on documented installation, adequate airflow and registration inside a set window. With no permit pulled and no inspector attending a like-for-like reroof, a claim in year eighteen has nothing behind it. We register the product in your name and hand over the installation file, and that is not a courtesy. It is the thing that makes the paper worth having.
Three-tab is done as a product on this housing stock and we quote it only to patch an existing plane. It reads flat on a steep old roof, and its adhesive strips surrender early under the kind of sustained pressure that comes off open water here. Laminates meeting the standard arrive in tiers separated by mat weight and paper warranty length, not by whether they keep water out.
Our read on the tiers is unglamorous. Mid-weight is the right purchase for the majority of houses here. The premium line pays for itself on a tall, steep, weather-facing plane where simply getting back up there costs real money, and it pays for nothing on a sheltered rear slope. That is a judgement about access and exposure rather than about status, and we will tell you which of your planes is which.
What sits underneath matters more than the tier. Membrane at the eaves and through the valleys, a synthetic sheet across the field, and on any plank roof a full refastening before a single course goes down. Fasteners must land in board rather than in the space between two boards, which is what produces a row of pops three or four years on, so the pattern gets set out on the deck first.
Two decades to twenty-five years is what we expect from mid-weight laminate in this climate, longer on shaded north planes and shorter where nothing stands between a west face and the weather. The proposal carries the figure we actually expect rather than the one on the wrapper, and we come back in year fifteen to tell you what is left with no quote attached to the visit.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 1x6 plank sheathing laid with gaps between the boards, cut nails holding original decking to rough-sawn rafters, synthetic underlayment held down with capped ring-shank fasteners, self-adhered eave membrane lapped up the rake on steep planes, closed cornice eaves built with no soffit cavity to vent, step flashing let into a raked mortar joint with lead wedges — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Erie and nearby communities including Millcreek Township, Harborcreek Township, Fairview Township, Northwest Harborcreek.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 1x6 plank sheathing laid with gaps between the boards, cut nails holding original decking to rough-sawn rafters, synthetic underlayment held down with capped ring-shank fasteners, self-adhered eave membrane lapped up the rake on steep planes, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Erie job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northwestern Pennsylvania means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Erie Chooses Erie Premium Roofing
- ✓Every estimate carries the rafter depth, spacing, clear span and sheathing type we measured, because no permit file will ever record them for you
- ✓We count the layers that come off and photograph the bare deck, so the one moment your roof is visible is not the one moment nobody documented
- ✓We quote the deck separately from the covering, since on a 1920s plank roof the boards are the real variable and hiding them in a lump sum is how bids stop being comparable
- ✓No overlays. A second layer over plank sheathing conceals the only thing worth looking at and shortens the fastener grip the wind rating depends on
