Reliable Exterior Contractor in Blair County, PA, Offering Asphalt and Metal Roofing

Every other roofing company in Blair County has to drive here. We’re already here.

Solarshield has installed metal roofing in Blair County, Pennsylvania, since 1978, out of a showroom on our home ground in Altoona. That's not a marketing line about local presence. It means the crew on your roof lives in the same county, the showroom where you pick your color is fifteen minutes from your driveway, and if something needs attention three years from now, we're right down the street.

Why Blair County Homeowners Choose Solarshield

Unlike many roofing contractors, Solarshield has deep roots in the community. Founded in 1978 by Dan and Susan Green, our company has remained family-owned for more than four decades, with the next generation continuing the tradition of exceptional artistry and customer service.

Because our showroom is located in Altoona, Blair County homeowners have the unique opportunity to explore roofing materials in person before making a decision. You can compare colors, profiles, and product options while speaking directly with our knowledgeable team.

When you choose Solarshield, you'll benefit from:

• Working with a company that has more than four decades of roofing experience

• Personalized in-home consultations

• Owens Corning roofing products

• Durable 26-gauge galvanized steel metal roofing

• Experienced installers who understand Central Pennsylvania's climate

Metal Roofing Built for Blair County Homes

If you're asking about metal roofing installation, two questions come up most often: Which profiles are available, and how long will a new roof last?

We install four. Standing seam offers a clean, low-profile appearance with concealed fasteners. Metal shingle and shake profiles deliver traditional aesthetics while maintaining steel's durability advantages. Ribbed panels use exposed fasteners rather than concealed ones, which brings the cost down, and they work on a barn or a garage just as well as on the house. Stone-coated steel finishes a steel panel in a layer of stone granules, so the roof reads as a premium architectural shingle from the ground while performing like metal underneath.

Metal Roofing Warranty

Solarshield backs every metal roofing installation with a labor warranty, while manufacturers provide a lifetime warranty against cracking and peeling plus 30-year fade protection. We're also members of the Metal Roofing Alliance, an industry affiliation recognized in our credentials. When you're comparing contractors, that affiliation matters.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing for Local Homeowners

For homeowners who prefer a more traditional roofing solution, Solarshield installs premium Owens Corning asphalt shingles. Available in a wide range of colors and architectural styles, asphalt shingles remain one of the most popular roofing options throughout Blair County.

During your consultation, we'll evaluate your current roof, explain your options, and help you choose the best roofing system for your home, budget, and long-term goals. If you'd like to see products in person, our Altoona showroom makes it simple to compare colors and materials.

Seamless Gutter Installation in Blair County

Gutters fail silently until damage appears unexpectedly, such as saturated foundations, rotted fascia, and water pooling against siding. We custom-form seamless aluminum gutter systems on-site to fit your roofline precisely, eliminating seams where most leaks start. If your current gutters leak, pull away, or are undersized for drainage, seamless gutters deserve consideration.

Common Questions About Our Roofs and Gutters

What roofing profiles are available for Blair County homes?

For metal roofing, we install standing-seam and metal shingle-and-shake profiles in 26-gauge galvanized steel. For asphalt roofing, we offer Owens Corning shingles in various styles and performance levels. Visit our Altoona showroom to compare options with samples and visualization tools.

Will snow sliding off a metal roof cause problems? 

It can, if nothing's managing it. Metal sheds snow in sheets instead of letting it melt off slowly, which is good for the roof and hard on whatever sits below the eave. Where there's an entry door or a driveway in the shed path, we install snow guards that break the release into smaller loads. Worth settling during the estimate, not after the first heavy winter. 

How does Solarshield approach the roofing process for Blair County homeowners?

We start with an in-home consultation to assess the roof before anyone talks about solutions. From there you're welcome at the Altoona showroom to handle materials and settle on color. You'll get an honest scope assessment and a real timeline, because we'd rather tell you six weeks and mean it than tell you two and disappoint you.
