Learn moreOur approach
We don't just replace shingles
Most roofers tear off your old roof and nail on a new one. We engineer a complete roofing system, because your roof does a lot more than keep rain out.
Ventilation
Warm moist air rises into your attic from cooking, showers, daily life. Without airflow, it gets trapped, rotting decking and killing shingles from the inside.
Insulation
The barrier between your living space and the attic. Done right, it slashes energy bills and keeps conditioned air where it belongs.
The full system
Underlayment, decking, flashing, ice & water shield. Every layer matters. Skip one and the whole system fails early.
Inspection
We come out, look at your roof, and give you an honest assessment. No sales pitch.
Proposal
A clear written quote. Materials, labor, timeline. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Installation
Our crew handles everything. Most roofs done in a single day. We clean up after ourselves.
Follow-up
We check back to make sure everything is right. Warranty on materials and workmanship.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Our roof took granule loss across the whole south slope after that May hailstorm. Two contractors told us we needed a full tear-off. The Modern Exteriors estimator climbed up, walked it for forty minutes, and said only the south and west faces needed replacing. Saved us about six grand and the insurance company agreed with the scope.
We live off the Carlisle Pike in a 90s split-level. The original roof finally gave up. Got four quotes, picked these guys because the rep actually went into the attic and showed us where the old kraft-faced insulation was blocking the soffit vents. They fixed the ventilation as part of the job. Attic stays cool in July now.
Older brick rowhouse, flat-ish roof on the back, steep gable on the front. Most companies did not want to bid on it. Modern Exteriors handled both sections in one visit, with the right membrane on the low-slope and architectural shingles on the gable. No leaks since the first thaw.
Quick. Professional. Roof done in a day.
We are inside the historic overlay so any exterior work needs a paint and material conversation with the borough. Modern Exteriors knew the process, picked a shingle profile that read close to slate from the street, and got the paperwork through without a hitch. Crew respected the property.
Got hit with golf-ball hail last summer. Three contractors out, two played up the damage, one downplayed it. These guys took photos of every penetration and showed us exactly what was bruised and what was not. The supplement they sent the adjuster got approved within a week.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about roofing in South Central PA
How much does a roof replacement cost in South Central PA?
Most jobs in the region come in between $8,500 and $22,500. A standard asphalt replacement on a 1,800 square foot home around Harrisburg or Mechanicsburg usually lands around $12,500 to $14,000. Older farmhouses with steep pitches, multi-layer tear-offs, or historic overlays in places like Gettysburg push higher. We write the estimate after walking the roof, not over the phone.
What about ice dams in the Susquehanna Valley?
Ice dams here are almost always an attic ventilation problem dressed up as a shingle problem. The Susquehanna Valley swings hard between freeze and thaw, and a poorly vented attic melts snow unevenly. When we replace a roof in the region we run ice and water shield up the eaves further than code requires (six feet, not three) and check soffit and ridge ventilation before we quote. Fix the cause once or pay for it again next February.
Which counties does this cover?
All six in the South Central cluster: Dauphin, Cumberland, York, Adams, Lebanon, and Franklin. Our crews run out of the Harrisburg corridor and travel out the same morning for free inspections, whether you are in Hershey, Chambersburg, or anywhere between.
Do you work in historic districts like Gettysburg or downtown Harrisburg?
Yes. We have done work inside the Gettysburg historic overlay, Old Uptown Harrisburg, and several borough preservation zones. Sometimes the borough needs a material approval before we start. We handle that conversation with you and submit the spec sheets the review board wants to see.
How do you handle hail damage?
South Central PA sits in PA hail alley between April and June. We document every bruise with date-stamped photos and elevation diagrams, meet your adjuster on the roof, and send supplements when the initial claim scope misses something. Plenty of homeowners around here have been low-balled on a partial claim that should have been a full replacement.
Are you licensed in Pennsylvania?
Yes. PA Home Improvement Contractor registration, general liability, and workers comp coverage on every project. Paperwork goes in your project folder before any crew shows up.
How long does a typical roof take?
One day for most homes in the region. Two days for larger farmhouses, steep Adams County builds, or anything with complex chimney and dormer flashing. We give you the timeline before scheduling the dumpster.
What warranty do I get?
The GAF Golden Pledge. Twenty-five years on materials and workmanship, backed by GAF because we are a Master Elite contractor. Only about 3% of roofers nationwide can offer it.
