Roofing guide
Start with the roof your house has now. Each guide explains what a full replacement involves on central Pennsylvania houses.
Asphalt shingle roofsThe roof on most houses in Lower Paxton, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg and Hershey. A good replacement is mostly about what happens under the shingles.
Rowhouse & flat roofsMuch of Harrisburg's older housing is brick rowhouses. Their roofs are low-slope, often stepped down over rear additions, and joined to the neighbors' at every party wall.
Slate & metal roofsOlder downtowns across the region still have slate and painted metal roofs. When they wear out, the replacement choices shape how the house looks for decades.
