Erie Premium Roofing provides professional commercial roofing in Erie, PA for residential and commercial properties across northwestern Pennsylvania. Commercial is the one part of this market with a genuine paper trail, and it changes how we work. Non-residential construction in Pennsylvania is permitted and inspected whether the owner wants it or not, so your building has a file, and that file is an asset rather than an obstacle.
We start by reading it. Deck type, original assembly, any recover already on record, structural drawings if they survive. On the industrial stock around this city that history is often the difference between a straightforward tear-off and discovering two membranes and four inches of saturated fill on the second morning. Where the file is thin we core the roof in a grid and build the missing record ourselves.
The deck decides the system. Steel deck takes a mechanically fastened 60 or 80 mil TPO or EPDM, tightened at perimeters and corners for the open lake exposure. Poured gypsum and old concrete decks take a fully adhered or two-ply modified bitumen assembly instead, because they will not reliably hold a fastener. Pull tests settle that question in an afternoon, before anybody orders material.
Drainage is where Erie buildings actually fail. A membrane that would be fine on a well-sloped deck is asked here to hold a pack for months and then pass the entire melt through outlets sized decades ago. We build tapered polyisocyanurate to move water toward more than one outlet, replace internal drains rather than re-clamping them, and add overflow scuppers where the parapet has none.
Phasing keeps tenants open. Every section reaches a weathertight condition before the crew leaves for the day, which is not a slogan in a climate where an overnight band is a routine occurrence rather than a forecast event. Work over occupied space is sequenced so no area is ever open above people, and the day's tie-in gets photographed before the crew leaves the site.
Then the maintenance agreement, which is the honest recommendation for most of these buildings. Two visits a year with a photographed and dated condition log, seams probed, outlets cleared, penetrations resealed. Restoration coating over a sound membrane costs a fraction of tearing off and goes down inside a single weekend. If the cores come back wet we will say so, and that conversation gets more expensive rather than less.
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 commercial roofing
The difference between commercial roofing that lasts and commercial roofing 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
The standards behind commercial roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The commercial roofing work we do in Erie follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every commercial roofing project in Erie gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
