Frequently Asked Questions

Every roof is different — size, materials, condition, and any structural repairs all change what the job involves. That is why we start with a free on-site inspection and give you a detailed written estimate for your own roof, itemized line by line. Call (570) 996-7357 or request an inspection online and we will schedule a visit.

Most of our projects are completed in one day. Crews typically arrive around 7:00 AM and finish by 6:00 PM. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer, and we will tell you upfront if yours will.

Yes. We offer flexible financing options to make your project more affordable. Call (570) 996-7357 or email us and we will walk you through the available plans.

We provide four core services: roof replacement (full removal and installation of a new roof), roof installation (for new construction and additions), roof repair (leaks, storm damage, and wear), and reroofing (a new shingle layer over an existing structurally sound roof).

If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized (a few missing shingles, one leak), a repair usually makes sense. If the roof is 20+ years old, leaking in multiple places, or sagging, replacement is typically more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We will give you an honest recommendation either way; we do not upsell replacements when a repair will do.

Yes. We install, replace, and repair metal roofing. It is a durable, energy-efficient option we are happy to quote alongside asphalt so you can compare.

Typically 20 to 30 years, depending on shingle quality, attic ventilation, and maintenance. Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles and snow loads are hard on roofs, which is why proper installation and ice-and-water protection matter so much here.

Yes. We back our workmanship with a lifetime warranty on installation, and the materials carry their own manufacturer warranties (Owens Corning shingle warranties are among the strongest in the industry). We will spell out exactly what your project’s coverage includes before you sign anything.

Often yes, when damage comes from a covered event like wind or hail. We document storm damage thoroughly during our free inspection so you have what you need for a claim.

Yes. Rail Roofing Group is fully licensed and insured, and we are an Owens Corning Roofing Preferred Contractor, a status that requires meeting strict standards for reliability, craftsmanship, and customer service.
