One Call Does it ALL

For a full asphalt shingle roof, we usually tell folks to plan on somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000+ here in the Lewisburg/Williamsport area — but honestly that's just a ballpark. The real number depends on your roof's size, pitch, how many layers have to come off, and the material you choose. The only way to give you an accurate price is to look at it, and that estimate is free. I can have Tony out to take a look — he's usually in touch within the hour.

I can give you a rough range, but I wouldn't want to quote you a firm number without Tony actually seeing the roof — every home is a little different, and I'd rather be accurate than guess. The good news is the on-site estimate is free and there's no obligation. Want me to have Tony reach out to set that up?

Yes, completely free and no obligation. Tony comes out, looks at the roof, talks through what you need, and gives you a written estimate. You just call (570) 742-8691 or drop us a message and Tony's typically in touch within the hour.

Metal is a premium product, so it does cost more up front than asphalt shingles — but it also lasts a lot longer, sheds snow, and holds up beautifully against our winters. Because the price gap depends on the style of metal and your roof, the best thing is to have Tony price both options for you at the free estimate so you can compare real numbers side by side.

Repairs cover a big range — a little flashing fix or a few replaced shingles is a very different job from tracking down a stubborn leak — so I can't give you a solid number without seeing it. Tony can come out, find the actual problem, and give you a straight price. Repairs are almost always cheaper than a full replacement, and sometimes that's all you need.

That's a great question, and I don't want to give you the wrong information — financing isn't something we have published, so let me have Tony talk you through the options when he reaches out. He can tell you exactly what's available for your project.

A few big things move the price: the size and steepness of the roof, how many old layers need to be torn off, whether any decking underneath is rotted and needs replacing, the material you pick, and extras like skylights, chimneys, or new flashing. That's exactly why we do a free on-site look — so the estimate reflects your actual roof, not an average.

Most residential roof replacements here in central PA are done in one to two days. Bigger or more complex roofs can take a little longer, but for a typical home you're looking at a day or two from tear-off to cleanup.

Fast — when you call or send a message, Tony is usually in touch within the hour to get you on the schedule for a free estimate. We know a roof problem doesn't wait, so we don't make you wait either.

Tony walks you through it up front so there are no surprises. On install day the crew tears off the old roof down to a clean deck, replaces any bad decking, puts down the proper underlayment and ice-and-water protection, installs your new roof and flashing, and then does a thorough cleanup — including running a magnet over the yard for stray nails. Most jobs wrap in one to two days.

Usually yes — a full re-roof generally needs a permit here in PA, while small repairs often don't. Permit rules are set locally, so it's worth confirming with your township or borough code office. Tony handles this kind of thing all the time and can point you in the right direction for your area.

Easiest is to call Tony directly at (570) 742-8691, or send us a message and he'll be in touch within the hour. He'll set up a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.

It depends on the season and how booked we are, but we move quickly — one of our customers was estimated on a Friday and we started the job the following Tuesday. Tony can give you a realistic start window when he comes out.

Good rule of thumb: if the roof is 20-25+ years old, is losing granules across large areas, has multiple spots with damaged or missing shingles, or has an active leak that's already damaged the decking, it's usually time for a full replacement. If the damage is localized — a few shingles, a bit of flashing — a repair often does the trick. Tony will tell you honestly which one you actually need.

Twenty years is right around the age where asphalt roofs start needing attention, but age alone doesn't automatically mean replacement. What matters is condition — granule loss, curling or missing shingles, leaks, soft decking. Let Tony take a look; if it's got life left, he'll tell you that, and if it's time, he'll show you why.

It can be, because once shingles are gone the underlayment and decking are exposed to water. The good news is a few missing shingles is often a straightforward repair if you catch it early. Get it looked at before the next rain — Tony can come out, assess it, and if it's storm-related, help you figure out whether an insurance claim makes sense.

That's the whole point. Swartz's is family-owned and local — Tony lives in these same communities, so his reputation is with his neighbors. If a repair will do, he'll say so. No pressure to buy a roof you don't need.

First, don't climb up there yourself — let us inspect it safely. Tony comes out, checks for hail bruising, lifted or missing shingles, and flashing damage, and documents everything with photos. If it looks like an insurance claim is warranted, we can help you through the process and work directly with your adjuster. The sooner you get it looked at, the better, so give us a call.

Yes — this is something we do a lot in this area. We inspect the damage, document everything with photos, and work directly with your insurance adjuster through the claim. Storms are a real thing in our river towns, so we know the process well.

It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage, so you'll want to confirm the specifics with your insurer — I'm not able to tell you what your policy covers. What I can tell you is how it generally works: if the damage is from a covered storm event, insurance often pays for repair or replacement, and we work right alongside your adjuster to document it. Tony can walk you through what to expect once he's seen the damage.

Generally: you file the claim with your insurer, an adjuster comes out to inspect, and we meet them on-site with our own photos and documentation so nothing gets missed. Many policies pay part up front and release the rest when the work is done, so having a contractor who knows the paperwork really helps. We can't give you policy or legal advice — your insurer confirms coverage — but we handle the roofing side start to finish.

Yes. Ice dams are the classic central-PA winter problem — ice builds up at the eaves and forces water back up under the shingles. We handle the leak and can talk through what's causing it, since ice dams usually point to attic insulation or ventilation issues. Call us and we'll get it addressed; we offer emergency roof service for active leaks.

An active leak is worth acting on fast before water spreads into your decking, insulation, and ceilings. Give us a call at (570) 742-8691 — we handle emergency roof situations and Tony's quick to respond.

Pretty much everything you'd see in central PA: architectural asphalt shingles (the most common), standing-seam and corrugated metal, natural slate, cedar shakes, and flat/low-slope systems like TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen for porches, additions, and low-pitch roofs. One call really does cover it.

Lots of options — the popular looks around here are the grays (charcoal, pewter, slate blends) and the warmer weathered-wood and driftwood tones. Tony can bring samples and help you pick something that suits your home and your neighborhood at the estimate.

That's algae — a blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa magma that leaves dark streaks, worst on shaded north-facing slopes in our humid summers. It's mostly cosmetic at first but worth addressing. When you re-roof, we can put on algae-resistant shingles that have copper or zinc granules built in to fight those streaks. Tony can talk you through it.

Metal's a great fit for a lot of central-PA homes. Pros: it lasts decades, sheds snow, resists ice dams, and looks sharp — standing seam especially. The main trade-off is higher up-front cost than asphalt. It's popular on rural and farm properties and even on additions paired with a shingle roof on the main house. Tony can price it against shingles so you can decide.

Yes. A lot of the older homes and churches around Lewisburg and Williamsport have original slate, and we work with it — slate repair and matching, plus synthetic slate and shake options if you want the historic look at lower weight and cost. If you're in a historic district, there may be some review involved, and Tony can help navigate that.

We do — flat and low-slope roofs on porches, additions, garages, and downtown-style homes. We install rubber and TPO/EPDM membrane systems and modified bitumen. If your flat roof is ponding or leaking, have Tony take a look.

Very likely — we cover Union, Lycoming, and Northumberland counties, including Lewisburg, Williamsport, Hughesville, Montoursville, Muncy, Milton, Watsontown, Allenwood, Pennsdale, Montgomery, and the surrounding communities. Tell me where you are and I'll confirm, but odds are good we're right in your area.

We are — Swartz's is family-owned and operated, owned by Tony Swartz, and we're local to central PA. We're not a corporate crew passing through; your neighbors are our neighbors, and we live in the same communities we serve.

Yes on both — we hold Pennsylvania license PA044466 and we're fully insured. We're also BBB accredited, so you can count on us being legit and accountable.

GAF is one of the top roofing manufacturers, and they only certify roofers who meet their standards — only about 7% of roofers earn it. For you that means a properly trained installer, quality materials, and access to stronger manufacturer warranties. It's a mark that the work is being done right.

Your roof is backed by both manufacturer and workmanship warranties, so you're covered on the materials and on the installation. For the exact term lengths, let me have Tony confirm the specifics for your project when he reaches out — I don't want to quote you the wrong number.

Yes — vinyl and James Hardie fiber-cement siding, plus fascia and soffit. Vinyl is the value choice; Hardie is a premium upgrade that's tough, fire-resistant, and holds up great to our freeze-thaw winters and humid summers. Tony can walk you through which makes sense for your home and budget.

Vinyl is the popular, budget-friendly option — low maintenance and lots of colors. Hardie board is fiber cement — it costs more but it's more durable, fire-resistant, and has a premium look that suits our climate really well. Both are solid; it comes down to budget and the look you want. Tony can price both.

We do — seamless gutters and gutter guards, made to fit. We actually run a seamless gutter machine right on site, so your gutters are fabricated to length with no seams to leak. With the leaf load and ice-dam water we get around here, good gutters and guards make a real difference.

Yes, we handle chimney repairs, along with the flashing around it — which is a common leak spot. If you've got water showing up near the chimney, that flashing is often the culprit, and it's something we fix regularly.

We do install skylights, and we handle the flashing to keep them watertight. If you've got an existing skylight that's leaking, we can look at that too.

Yes — we build new decks and repair existing ones, in pressure-treated or composite. It's part of the "one call does it all" idea: roofing, siding, gutters, chimneys, decks, and remodeling all from one contractor you can trust.

We do — kitchen and bathroom remodels are part of our carpentry and remodeling side. Older central-PA homes sometimes have plumbing or electrical surprises behind the walls, so the best starting point is having Tony come out, see the space, and talk through what you're picturing.

Yes — room additions and full interior and exterior renovations are right in our wheelhouse. We've done everything from adding on to a home to complete exterior makeovers. Tony can come out, look at the project, and put together an estimate.

We do offer snow removal as a seasonal service. Give us a call and we can talk about what you need.

Absolutely — cleanup is something we take seriously. The crew runs a magnet over the yard to pick up stray nails and rakes out flower beds and landscaping so your property is left clean. One of our customers specifically praised us for running the magnet and cleaning out the flower beds, and that's the standard we hold to.

We stand behind our work and own any mistakes. There's a story a customer likes to tell: a tool once fell on his Trex deck, and Tony responded immediately and replaced the damaged area — no argument. That accountability is a big part of why folks trust us.

Yes — for active leaks and storm damage, we handle emergency roof situations. Call (570) 742-8691 and Tony is quick to respond so we can stop the water and protect your home.

We're local and family-run, GAF Certified (top 7% of roofers), and true insurance experts who handle the inspection, documentation, and your adjuster. And "One Call Does It All" means one contractor you trust for roofing, siding, gutters, chimneys, decks, and renovations — no juggling five companies.
