Erie Premium Roofing provides professional hail damage roof repair in Erie, PA for residential and commercial properties across northwestern Pennsylvania. Erie is not a hail market, and a page that pretends otherwise is selling something. Hail reaches this county occasionally in a summer line, not annually and not at plains sizes, which means the majority of what gets reported as hail damage around here is simple age.
That is the honest position and it is worth stating before the method. A great many of the roofs we get called to after a storm are thirty-year-old three-tab whose south plane lost its granules a decade ago. Somebody knocks on the door, points at the driveway, and a homeowner files a claim on wear. It is denied, the denial goes on the record, and the roof is exactly as old as it was.
So we count before we conclude. Ten-by-ten squares are chalked on each plane and photographed with the chalk in frame. Genuine impacts are round, randomly scattered, soft under a fingertip, with the mat bruised and fresh black asphalt showing. Weathering is not random: it follows the water path, clusters below valleys, and leaves the mat firm. On a north plane it appears first as bare asphalt in the water tracks rather than as scattered dents.
Soft metal is the tiebreaker and it is free to check. Gutter aprons, downspout backs, vent hoods, air conditioner fins, a mailbox lid and the flat top of a grill all dent at stone sizes that leave a shingle arguable. If none of those show a mark and the roof supposedly took a beating, the roof did not take a beating.
Shingles carrying the UL 2218 Class 4 impact listing exist, and we will order them on request. We do not push them here. Around Erie the money buys more roof if it goes into deck fastening, heavier eave membrane and a rated ridge cap, because what actually damages these roofs is wind off open water and eighty winters, not ice stones.
If you were told by somebody in an unmarked truck that your roof is totaled, get a second opinion before you file. Ours is free, it comes with the squares photographed, and if the counts are not there we will write down that they are not there. A denied claim costs you more than the inspection did, and it sits on your record for years after the truck has left the county.
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 hail damage roof repair
The difference between hail damage roof repair that lasts and hail damage roof repair 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
