Typically, if your roof is over 20 years old or has widespread issues like curling shingles, missing granules, or leaks in multiple areas, a replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution. However, if the damage is localized to one area (like a pipe boot or a small section of flashing) and the rest of the roof is in good condition, a professional repair can extend its life. We provide honest, no-secrets assessments to help you make the right choice.
At ELR, we focus on Expert Oversight. Every project is personally managed to ensure the ELR Standard is met. We don’t take shortcuts, we don’t use high-pressure sales tactics, and we provide a 5-year workmanship guarantee—which is significantly longer than the industry average. We are an owner-operated local business that treats your home like our own.
For most average-sized homes in Montgomery County, we can complete the tear-off and installation of a new asphalt shingle system in just one day. Larger or more complex rooflines may require a second day. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your family while ensuring a weather-tight finish before we leave the site.
Yes. ELR Roofing is fully licensed (PA HIC# PA145447) and carries comprehensive general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects you, the homeowner, from any liability in the event of an accident on your property. We are happy to provide copies of our insurance certificates upon request.
We certainly do. We understand that a new roof is a significant investment. We offer flexible financing options to fit almost any budget, allowing you to secure your home now and pay over time. You can view our available plans on our Financing Page or ask us during your estimate.
Property protection is a top priority. We use specialized tarps and “catch-all” systems to shield your plants, decks, and siding from falling debris. We also perform multiple magnetic sweeps of your yard and driveway to ensure every nail and metal fragment is removed before we consider the job finished.
First, contact us for a professional inspection. We will provide a detailed report and photographic evidence of any damage. If an insurance claim is necessary, we can walk you through the process and meet with your adjuster to ensure all damage is properly documented and accounted for in their assessment.
You do not need to be home, though you are welcome to be. Our crews are fully self-sufficient. We only ask that you clear your driveway of vehicles, move any sensitive items from your yard, and ensure we have access to an outdoor power outlet if needed. We will keep you updated via text or phone throughout the day.
Absolutely. By utilizing modern, solar-reflective shingles and ensuring your attic has a balanced ventilation system (intake and exhaust), we can significantly reduce the heat load on your HVAC system. This is especially impactful during the humid Pennsylvania summer months.
We handle everything. We bring in a specialized debris container (dumpster) which is placed carefully on your driveway (using protective boards to prevent damage). Once the project is complete, the container is hauled away immediately, leaving your property clean and clear.
We monitor the local Schwenksville and Montgomery County radar constantly. We only tear off what we can comfortably dry-in before any projected rainfall. If an unexpected pop-up shower occurs, our crews are trained to quickly secure the roof with heavy-duty tarps to ensure your home’s interior remains 100% dry.
While Pennsylvania building codes may allow for a second layer in some cases, ELR Roofing generally recommends a full tear-off. Removing the old shingles is the only way to inspect the wood decking for rot, ensure the flashing is installed correctly, and provide you with a valid manufacturer’s warranty.
At ELR Roofing, our estimates are 100% free of charge. We provide a detailed, written proposal that outlines all materials, labor, and warranties. We believe in transparency—the price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden fees or “surprises” at the end of the job.
We aren’t a “storm chaser” company—we are local contractors who live and work right here in Montgomery County. From emergency leak repairs in Harleysville to full roof replacements in Limerick, our crews are in your neighborhood every day.
Not sure if we cover your neighborhood? Even if you’re just outside our main hubs, we likely have a crew nearby.
