Lawrence County homeowners deal with one of the more demanding roofing climates in western Pennsylvania. Between freeze-thaw cycles that pry shingles loose, summer thunderstorms that drop hail across New Castle, and the occasional Lake Erie squall pushing wind gusts well into the 50s, your roof works hard every season of the year.
Big River Roofing is the trusted Lawrence County roofing contractor local homeowners call for asphalt shingle, metal, and storm-damaged roofs across the county, with a 4.9-star Google rating built on careful workmanship and straight answers. Our team handles everything from a single missing shingle to a full tear-off and replacement, and every project starts with a free, no-pressure inspection. Call (724) 877-7380 or request a free roof quote to get started.
Big River Roofing is based at 22404 E State St in nearby Hermitage, a short drive from New Castle, Ellwood City, Neshannock, and the surrounding Lawrence County communities. We are not a national franchise or a storm-chaser running plates from out of state. Our crews live and work in this region, which means faster response times, real accountability, and a job site you can drive past five years from now and still see a clean, tight roof. You can learn more about our team on our about page and review our manufacturer certifications.
According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, hiring a locally licensed and insured contractor is the single most important factor in a successful roofing project, ahead of price, timeline, or material brand. Pennsylvania also requires every home improvement contractor to register with the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, and our HIC registration is current and verifiable. When you call our number, you talk to a person who can be on your roof the same week.
Big River Roofing provides a complete range of residential and commercial roofing services to homeowners and property owners throughout Lawrence County. From routine maintenance and targeted repairs to full roof replacements and new installations, every project is handled by a certified, locally based crew that understands the specific demands of this region’s climate and housing stock.
Lawrence County homes face a demanding climate, and the roofs protecting them need to be built accordingly. Big River Roofing specializes in residential roofing across the county. Every residential project starts with a thorough inspection and ends with a clean, documented final walkthrough.
Whether the job involves a targeted repair, a full system replacement, or new construction installation, the crew follows manufacturer specifications and uses certified materials backed by industry-leading warranty coverage. Lawrence County homeowners get honest recommendations, written estimates, and no-pressure service from a contractor who is based right here in the county.
Not every roofing problem in Lawrence County requires a full replacement, and Big River Roofing will always tell you that honestly. Our roof repair service covers the full range of issues that homeowners across encounter, from storm-related damage to age-related component failure.
We handle roof leak detection to trace water back to its actual source rather than patching symptoms, missing shingle replacement after wind events, and structural and sagging roof repair when decking, rafters, or ridge boards have been compromised by long-term moisture or loading. Every repair starts with a documented inspection and a written quote before any work begins.
A new roof installation in Lawrence County is only as good as the process behind it. Big River Roofing provides roof installation services for both new construction and full system builds on existing homes across the county. As an IKO Craftsman Premier Roofer, Owens Corning Preferred Installer, and CertainTeed Master Shingle Installer, the crew meets the certified installation standards required to unlock each manufacturer’s strongest warranty tiers.
Every installation in Mercer County begins with a thorough decking assessment. Soft spots, rot, and structural issues are corrected before new materials go down. Underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and ventilation are all set to manufacturer specifications. Big River Roofing does not cut corners on the details that determine how long a roof lasts in this climate.
A roof replacement is one of the largest investments a Lawrence County homeowner will make, and the process matters as much as the materials. Big River Roofing performs full tear-off replacements on homes, removing old materials down to the decking, inspecting every board, and rebuilding the roof system correctly from the ground up. We do not overlay existing shingles.
An overlay hides problems that will cost more to fix later and shortens the life of the new roof. A proper tear-off resets the clock on the entire roof system and gives the homeowner the full expected lifespan out of their investment. Written estimates, clear timelines, and daily cleanup are standard on every replacement project.
Asphalt shingles are the most widely installed roofing material in Lawrence County, and Big River Roofing installs all three performance tiers as part of its asphalt shingle roofing service. For homeowners completing an asphalt shingle roof replacement, the options include 3-tab shingles for budget-conscious projects, architectural and dimensional shingles for the best balance of performance and value, and luxury and designer shingles for homeowners who want premium curb appeal and the strongest warranty coverage available in the asphalt category. Big River Roofing’s manufacturer certifications ensure every shingle installation qualifies for the enhanced warranty tiers most crews cannot offer.
Metal roofing has become an increasingly popular choice for Lawrence County homeowners who want a long-term solution that handles the region’s heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and hail events without the maintenance demands of asphalt. Big River Roofing installs metal roofing systems that last 50 years or more, shed snow naturally without ice dam buildup, and resist wind and hail damage that would compromise a standard shingle roof. The Metal Roofing Alliance reports that metal roofs can reduce cooling costs by up to 25% in warmer months due to their reflective properties, which adds long-term value for Lawrence County property owners beyond the extended lifespan. Every metal installation is backed by a 40-year limited paint warranty.
Lawrence County homeowners who want the look of natural slate or cedar shake without the weight, structural demands, or maintenance of those materials have a strong option in Brava Tile composite roofing. Brava Tile is manufactured from a proprietary composite material engineered to replicate the appearance of traditional premium roofing products, and it carries a Class 4 impact resistance rating, the highest available, making it one of the strongest hail-resistant roofing options for Lawrence County properties.
Brava products are lightweight enough for standard framing without structural reinforcement, backed by a 50-year limited warranty, and available for both new construction and replacement projects.
Gutters protect more than the roofline. When they fail or clog, water backs up against the fascia, runs down exterior walls, and pools around the foundation, creating moisture problems that compound quickly in Lawrence County’s freeze-thaw conditions. Big River Roofing installs seamless gutters and RainDrop Pro Gutter Guards as part of its gutter installation service.
RainDrop Pro uses a polypropylene mesh design rated to handle over 22 inches of rain per hour, keeping debris out while maintaining full water flow year-round. Pairing gutter installation with a new roof project allows homeowners to address the full exterior water management system in a single mobilization, saving both time and coordination costs.
Siding is the exterior layer that protects a Lawrence County home from wind-driven rain, moisture intrusion, and the kind of sustained cold that accelerates deterioration in failing materials. When siding cracks, warps, or pulls away from the sheathing, water finds a path into the wall assembly, creating damage that goes well beyond what is visible from the outside.
Big River Roofing provides siding installation services across Lawrence County, often completing siding work alongside a roof replacement to address the full exterior envelope in a single project. Combining both trades under one contractor eliminates the coordination gaps where water problems commonly start, and gives the homeowner a single point of accountability for the entire exterior.
Lawrence County sits directly in the path of storm systems that move northeast from Ohio, bringing hail, high winds, and heavy rain that regularly damage roofs across the county. According to NOAA’s Storm Events Database, Pennsylvania averages over 100 hail events per year statewide, with Lawrence County communities consistently affected.
Big River Roofing provides the full range of storm damage roof repair services, including hail damage roof repair, wind damage roof repair, and insurance claims assistance to guide homeowners through the documentation and filing process. Storm damage is not always visible from the ground. Hail bruising, lifted shingle edges, and compromised flashing all require a professional inspection to identify and document accurately before a claim can be filed successfully.
Lawrence County sits in a transitional climate zone where Great Lakes weather meets the Allegheny foothills. The result is a year-round punch list for homeowners.
Each of these factors matters when choosing materials, ventilation, and ice and water protection. Cutting corners on synthetic underlayment or eave protection might save a few hundred dollars upfront and cost thousands in interior damage from a single ice dam event.
Every Big River Roofing project follows the same proven sequence so there are no surprises along the way.

Roof replacement costs vary based on home size, roof slope, material choice, and the condition of the deck underneath. Asphalt shingle replacements on a typical Lawrence County home generally run from several thousand into the low five figures, while metal and slate sit higher. The only accurate way to price your project is an in-person inspection, which is always free with us.
A few missing shingles after a windstorm usually means a repair. Widespread granule loss, multiple active leaks, sagging sections, or a roof past 20 to 25 years of age usually means a replacement. Our inspectors will tell you straight, and we will not push you toward replacement when a repair will do the job.
The NRCA recommends a professional inspection at least twice a year, typically in spring and fall, plus an inspection after any major storm event. Annual inspections catch small problems before they turn into expensive ones.
Late winter through early spring is usually the slowest season for roofing companies, and material pricing is sometimes more flexible. That said, weather windows in PA winters are limited, and waiting until peak summer demand can mean longer lead times. The best time to start a project is when your roof needs it.
Most single-family home replacements in Lawrence County take one to three days from the start of tear-off to the final cleanup. Larger homes, complex multi-pitch designs, or metal and slate installations take longer. Big River Roofing provides a written timeline with every estimate and notifies homeowners in advance if weather causes any delays during the project.
Most standard Pennsylvania policies cover sudden wind, hail, and impact damage but exclude wear, tear, and end-of-life failure. If a storm recently hit your area, contact Big River Roofing before filing a claim. Correct documentation from the start significantly improves claim outcomes. The Pennsylvania Insurance Department has public resources on homeowner coverage if you want to review your specific policy term
Your roof protects everything underneath it. If it’s been a few years since your last inspection, or a recent storm rolled through your area, now is the right time to get a professional set of eyes on it before a small problem becomes a costly one.
Reach out to Big River Roofing and let a certified local contractor give you a straight answer about what your roof needs. No sales pressure, no inflated estimates, just clear information and honest recommendations from a team that has been serving Hermitage and Western Pennsylvania homeowners for 5+ years.
