Asphalt and Metal Roofing in Chambersburg, PA

Solarshield has been installing metal roofing in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and across Franklin County since 1978. We're a family-owned, second-generation roofing company, and re-roofing is our entire business rather than one line on a services page.

We're based in Altoona, which means we come to you. The consultation happens at your house, on your roof, with someone who'll tell you what it actually needs before anyone talks about what we'd like to sell you.

What Chambersburg Roofs Are Up Against 

The Cumberland Valley doesn't get the snow loads they see farther north, but it trades that for something harder on materials: a longer swing between hot, humid summers and a winter that freezes and thaws repeatedly instead of staying cold. Asphalt shingles age faster under that cycle than under steady cold, because every thaw works moisture back into the seams.

The older housing around the borough adds to it. Steeper pitches, more valleys, more dormers, more places for water to find a way in. Metal handles that geometry better than most people expect. Standing seam runs clean from ridge to eave with nothing penetrating the panel face, and metal shingle profiles flash into valleys without asphalt's layered vulnerability.

Metal Roofing Systems We Install

All the metal roofs we fabricate are made of 26-gauge galvanized steel. Lower gauge means thicker steel, and 26-gauge is the residential standard that holds up without pushing a project into commercial pricing.

Standing Seam

Standing seam metal roofing uses continuous vertical panels that run from the ridge down to the eave, locking together at raised seams where every fastener stays hidden underneath. Because nothing penetrates the face of the panel, there's no opening for water to work its way through the roof surface. That's the practical difference between standing seam and an exposed-fastener system, which relies on hundreds of gasketed screws driven straight through the metal.

Metal Shingle and Shake

Metal shingle and shake profiles are made from the same 26-gauge galvanized steel, but they're formed to look like a conventional asphalt shingle or a cedar shake once they're installed. From the street, most people can't tell the difference. That makes them the usual recommendation for Chambersburg's older neighborhoods, where a standing seam profile would look out of step with the houses around it.

Ribbed Panels

Ribbed metal roofing is the most adaptable system we install, because the same panel that covers a house will cover a commercial building or a barn just as well. That makes it the practical answer for property owners with more than one structure to roof.

Steel

Stone-coated steel starts with a steel panel and finishes it in a layer of stone granules, which gives the roof the texture and color depth people associate with a premium architectural shingle. From the ground, most people won't identify it as metal at all.

Warranty Coverage for Metal Roofs

Every metal roofing installation carries a manufacturer's lifetime warranty against cracking and peeling, plus 30-year fade protection. Solarshield backs the installation itself with a separate labor warranty.

That last one is what to ask about when you're comparing bids. Manufacturer coverage protects the material. Only a labor warranty protects you from how the material got installed, and installation is where roofs actually fail.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Metal isn't right for every home or every budget. For homeowners who want a traditional roof at a lower entry cost, we install Owens Corning asphalt shingles in a wide range of architectural styles and colors. We'll walk through the options during your in-home consultation, with samples on hand so you're not choosing a color off a screen. 

Seamless Gutter Installation

Your gutters play a critical role in protecting your home's foundation, siding, and landscaping from water damage. Solarshield installs custom-formed aluminum seamless gutters designed to reduce leaks, improve durability, and complement your new roofing system. Replacing your gutters during a roof installation helps ensure your entire exterior drainage system works together for lasting protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Chambersburg

You're based in Altoona; do you actually work in Chambersburg? 

Yes. We've been serving Franklin County for years, and the consultation comes to you rather than the other way around. If you'd rather see the full product range in person, our Altoona showroom is open, but nothing about the process requires the drive. 

How long does a metal roof last in Pennsylvania's climate?

The steel roofing systems we install are built to last up to 70 years and hold up well against Pennsylvania's winters and seasonal humidity. The products we carry include a lifetime manufacturer warranty on cracking and peeling, along with 30-year fade protection, so performance over time is part of the package.

Yes, financing is available for qualifying projects. Visit our financing page for current details. We also run periodic promotions that you can find on our current offers page.
