About Big River Roofing

Big River Roofing is a family-run roofing and exterior contractor based at 2404 E State St in Hermitage, PA. We install and repair asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs, siding, and gutters for homeowners across Mercer County and the Shenango Valley.

Big River Roofing was built on a straightforward idea: Western Pennsylvania homeowners deserve a roofing contractor who is honest about what their roof needs, shows up on time, and stands behind the work when the job is done. Founded by Don Kovac and based in Hermitage, PA, the company has spent the past five years earning the trust of homeowners across Mercer, Lawrence, Butler, and Beaver Counties one project at a time. If you want proof, our project gallery shows the work, and our customer testimonials show what our neighbors say about it.

Who We Are

Big River Roofing was started by Don, a Hermitage native who spent years in the trades before launching the company. Don saw too many homeowners get burned by contractors who overpromised, underdelivered, and disappeared once the check cleared. He wanted to build something different.

Today, our crew handles roofing projects of all sizes, from a single roof repair after a storm to full roof replacements on older homes around Hermitage, Sharon, Farrell, and Greenville. We also install siding and seamless gutters, which means homeowners can handle their whole exterior with one contractor instead of juggling three. Our full list of services covers everything we do.

What We Believe In

Don built Big River Roofing around four values, and every job we take on reflects them.

Honesty: If your roof has ten good years left, we will tell you. We do not sell replacements to people who need repairs, and we do not pad estimates with work you do not need. When we inspect a roof, we show you photos of what we found and explain what it means in plain language. We are a registered home improvement contractor with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, which is the baseline standard every contractor in this state should meet.
Communication: You should never have to wonder what is happening with your project. We return calls. We tell you when the crew is coming. If weather pushes us back a day, you hear about it from us first, not from a no-show.
Reliability: A lot of roofers in the area have come and gone in the last five years. We have not. Four straight years of Best of the Best recognition means our customers keep telling their neighbors about us, and those neighbors keep calling. That only happens when you show up.
Doing what you say you are going to do: This one ties the other three together. If we quote a price, that is the price. If we set a start date, we start. If we promise a cleanup at the end of the day, the nails get picked up before the crew leaves.

What We Do

We keep our services focused on what we do best: protecting the outside of your home.

Asphalt shingles are the most common roof we install around Hermitage, and for good reason. They hold up well to the freeze-thaw cycles and wind that come with Western Pennsylvania winters. According to the National Weather Service, the Pittsburgh region averages around 40 inches of snow each winter along with strong spring storms, so a roof built for this climate is not optional. If you want something that will last even longer, our metal roofing systems can run 50 years or more with very little upkeep.

Siding and gutters get less attention than roofs, but they matter just as much. Bad gutters send water into your foundation. Failing siding lets moisture get behind your walls. We handle both so your whole exterior works together the way it should.

For homeowners dealing with storm damage, we also walk you through the insurance process. Our storm damage roofing service covers wind, hail, and heavy snow load, which are the three things that cause the most trouble in our area. If your home has been hit, our insurance claims assistance page explains how we help you work through it.

Why Choose Big River Roofing

We live here: Our office is on East State Street. Don grew up in Hermitage. When you hire us, you are hiring neighbors who still have to see you at the grocery store next weekend. That keeps us honest in a way that out-of-town storm chasers are not.
Four-time Best of the Best winners: This is not a participation trophy. It is a community vote, and it has gone our way four years running. The only way to keep winning it is to keep earning it on every job.
One contractor for the whole exterior: Roof, siding, and gutters all work together. When one contractor handles all three, the flashing lines up, the gutter pitch drains correctly, and nothing gets blamed on the other guy. One crew, one phone number, one point of accountability.
Straight answers: If you need a full replacement, we will tell you. If you need a $400 repair, we will tell you that too. Our FAQ page covers the questions we hear most often, with the same straight answers we give in person.
Manufacturer-backed warranties: Because we hold the right manufacturer certifications, we can offer warranty coverage that most crews cannot. Those certifications also mean our installers are trained to the standard the manufacturer requires, which protects your warranty down the road.
